The best part about open source software are the benefits of its use by private organizations. Bluemix is free and incorporates open services for promotion of your product and your services.

If you dare to look at the price, remember that you are joining the likes of IBM and Hewlet-Packard and if you don’t take pride in the fact that your applications are running on a trusted and secure base.
