Private Beta of DrupalGardens.com: Moving Towards Drupal as Software as a Service (SaaS)

The launch of DrupalGardens.com is getting closer with the announcement of a private beta invitation. Opportunities for more individuals, businesses, and organizations to leverage the power of Drupal has been expanding through Acquia. And now, a new product and service from Acquia in the form of DrupalGardens.com, will push Drupal in the direction of being more of a Software as a Service (Saas).

Drupal is already used by many large and high profile entities, but this is not the case to the extent that it could be. There is still considerable usage of less powerful products or expensive proprietary systems. Certainly, the switch by Obama's White House to Drupal helps with the evangelization of Drupal, but this new Acquia service should also help.
