Enterprises can now access a platform managed by Pivotal at no additional cost, and gain immediate value from their purchase while they identify and establish resources for their own cloud infrastructure deployment – whether that is in the public cloud like AWS and VMware vCA or on-premise like VMware vSphere and OpenStack.

A Platform That Business and IT Can Agree On Traditional IT processes that govern platform and compute resources are often at odds with the tight engagement timelines of business initiatives. Enterprise IT departments prefer to provision their own infrastructure, so they can maintain control over the platform, particularly when there are unique performance and security requirements.

The free hosting with Pivotal Web Services (PWS) provides IT with a convenient option to on-ramp quickly, with the comfort of knowing that there is a clear path for applications to an IT-administered environment in the future. Applications Target API-Identical Cloud Platforms The industry has always aspired to “write once and run anywhere” software development. The Cloud Foundry platform provides an abstraction for applications to be written once and run on different IaaS. Customers can take advantage of PWS to enjoy flexibility in capacity planning as their users fluidly transfer their application instances between hosted and self-operated environments. Pivotal Web Services provides a well known environment, that runs applications for thousands of customers, including applications developed by Pivotal Labs. Users take advantage of simplified build and deploy cycles, powerful tools for monitoring and management, and the same four layers of self healing and availability that are found in Pivotal Cloud Foundry. In addition, a broad catalog of Pivotal and third party Services is offered with simple billing and tiered pricing models that are available to get started with right away.  PWS Services Marketplace
