Bungee Labs announced federated hosting to expand adoption of Platform-as-a-Service among enterprises and SaaS providers.

ebizQ received the following:

Organizations developing highly interactive applications on the Bungee Connect PaaS can now elect to host those applications on self-managed infrastructure running the new Bungee Application Server, or on the multi-tenant Bungee Grid at datacenters in the United States, Europe, and on the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2).

"As a Platform-as-a-Service provider with very promising capability, Bungee Connect's federated hosting alternatives dramatically lower barriers for businesses to migrate to rich web applications," said Dion Hinchcliffe, ZDNet blogger, president/CTO of Web2.0 transformation firm Hinchcliffe & Co. and editor-in-chief of Social Computing Magazine. "The ability to develop and instantly deploy on the Bungee Grid, then move those web applications seamlessly to self-hosted infrastructure or Amazon EC2 enables many enterprises and SaaS providers to now benefit from Platform-as-a-Service while meeting their security and service-level commitments."
