Intalio takes multi-tenancy on-premise

Not so scary, and not heresy: I agree - running a SaaS application on a customer's hardware in their datacentre is not heresy. We've looked at a couple of opportunities where for one reason or another, normally compliance, the customer wanted the SaaS application hosted in-house. We have boxes in multiple datacentres, what's another box to manage if the code & schemas remain the same? And does it matter where it is?

It may dilute some of the benefits of SaaS, but as long as the application & servers are managed by the SaaS vendor, and remain the same as other instances, and the price is right and amortised over a large user count, and that's what the customer wants, go ahead and damm the purists!
