Verso il primo cloud application store italiano, con OpenNebula, Puppet e REST: ClouDesire. Nonostante il proliferare di piattaforme e soluzioni cloud, queste tecnologie richiedono know-how e risorse per poter essere pienamente abbracciate, soprattutto in Italia, dove applicativi e architetture legacy regnano (ancora) sovrani. ClouDesire si pone come obiettivo di semplificare il processo per portare su cloud un'applicazione (web o legacy), e distribuirla in modalità XaaS, fornendo tutti i necessari tool di supporto.
