Another leading vendor, who I know as the premier complex event processing company, Tibco, has also announced a cloud offering called Silver - or to narrow that down, a Platform as a Service offering on top of Amazon EC2. They'll have a large list of development languages and libraries ("Java, C++, and Ruby with support for .NET and Spring" - although some blogs list a larger set of future languages it will support).
Interestingly, they claim they'll make it easy for users to move between Cloud Computing environments, which is one of the current gotachs of Cloud Computing - cloud vendor lockin due to proprietary APIs.
Of course, it'll have auto-scaling, ("self-aware elasticity" in their marketing speak), which seems to be the next big feature that everyone new to the market needs to support.
