When we see the cloud scene today, we have big companies like
EMC, Joyent, Saavis, Verizon/Terremark, Microsoft, Salesforce, VMWare, BlueLock, Citrix,
IBM, Amazon and now Oracle too. Many of these are enterprise cloud providers
and Software as a service (SaaS) providers. Each of them has a unique domain of
specialized services that they offer. But I think bringing the cloud right in
the hands of each developer is the best done by Salesforce. Force.com’s unique Platform as a Service
(PaaS) model is one of a kind and gives the power to the developer to bring
ideas into reality very quickly.
It is unique in a way also that it has integrations with
different technologies too. Salesforce can be integrated with SAP via IBM castIron. It supports Heroku which can be configured with Amazon cloud. It just
means that Salesforce cloud is flexible. Salesforce is also a pioneer putting
the entire CRM on the cloud. Mobile and social are one of the most important
parts of any enterprise today. Force.com supports both mobile and Social. It
can have your applications ported to handheld devices very easily. It enables
Social via Chatter.
In terms of languages too, it is very flexible. Just a few
days ago I saw how Salesforce uses Hadoop Webinar. They used a combination of Hadoop with Java mapReduce, Pig, Force.com and machine learning algorithms to
measure product metrics and community based recommendations in chatter. It merges with Heroku which is their own cloud
based polyglot platform which supports another set of different languages that
I mentioned in my earlier blog. Force.com discussion boards have special
sections for Perl, PHP, Python and Ruby Development.
All this means one thing; there are no limits to what you
can do with Force.com.
