Apprenda provides a foundational software layer and application runtime environment for creating and delivering an enterprise-class private PaaS ("private" means the platform software is managed by the user). Today's announcement addresses the increasing demand for hybrid cloud options and the realization that customers are demanding innovation in modern application delivery. Together, Apprenda and Azure deliver the promise of bottomless application capacity by harnessing the power of public Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).
