<\/p>\n

For 15-plus years, cloud computing companies such as\u00a0Salesforce<\/a>\u00a0has defined the cloud computing<\/a> space. Companies big and small depend on cloud technology to drive business processes and better connect to customers.<\/p>\n

To really understand what makes Salesforce\u2019s cloud different from other cloud providers, you need to take a closer look at the\u00a0Salesforce1 Platform<\/a>\u00a0on which it sits, and more specifically,\u00a0Force.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As a next-gen\u00a0Platform as a Service (PaaS)<\/a>, Force.com serves as the foundation for the Salesforce products you know and likely use on a regular basis, including\u00a0Sales Cloud<\/a>,\u00a0Service Cloud<\/a>,\u00a0Marketing Cloud<\/a>, and\u00a0AppExchange<\/a>. Force.com is many things: fast, scalable, customizable, secure, and reliable. And it supports more than 100,000 organisations and two billion transactions per day.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

How Force.com Works<\/strong><\/h3>\n

How does Salesforce do it all? The answer is Force.com\u2019s\u00a0metadata-driven software architecture<\/a>\u00a0and the way that innovation powers\u00a0multi-tenant application development. Multi-tenancy is kind of like an apartment building. Residents get the benefits of sharing the main framework, but still have the privacy they want, thanks to walls and doors.<\/p>\n

Salesforce was actually the first to use a\u00a0combination of groundbreaking technologies\u00a0specifically designed for clouds with multi-tenancy. This unique infrastructure means IT doesn\u2019t have to spend time managing hardware and maintenance. It\u2019s also ultimately what enables Salesforce to deliver continuous innovation with three releases a year.<\/p>\n

Now, instead of worrying about upgrades and maintenance, your focus can be on building applications that help your business and organization go faster. One of the coolest things about developing apps with Force.com is that you don\u2019t have to be a coder. Everything developers and business users need to build, update, and customize apps is available in our point-and-click user interface or in the Salesforce\u00a0Web browser-based developer environment.
<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Secret Sauce<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The key to all of the above is Salesforce\u2019s\u00a0metadata-driven software architecture. Force.com uses a run-time engine that forms app data from metadata, basically data that is about the data. There is a clear separation between tenant data, the platform itself, and the metadata specific to each app, so when they deliver three automatic upgrades a year, nothing breaks on your end, including customisations.<\/p>\n

This also holds true if another tenant customizes an object or app UI. Even adding tens of thousands of new tenants to Force.com will not slow run-time. What does this mean for your business? It means it\u2019s easy to customize and easy to make changes. Apps stay current with all the business processes. No matter how big you grow or how many customers you add, you can trust Force.com to keep your IT infrastructure future-ready.<\/p>\n
