Choosing the Right PaaS for Agility and ScaleWe are excited to announce new series of `PaaS Deathmatch`panel discussions, co-hosted with 4th annual Cloud Slam'12 conference May 30-31, 2012 in San Francisco.

In this engaging format of knock-out panel discussions, “Players” (accompanied by one of their clients) will defend their platforms by presenting use cases / show benefits / discuss successes based on PaaS deployments. 

This inaugural PaaS Deathmatch series aims to cover following topics:
