Azure Mobile Services is comparable for the basic backend service and push notifications (and isn't in danger of being aquihired away any time soon): http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/solutions/mobile/

You expect something enterprisey if you haven't played around with Azure lately, but you can work entirely in JavaScript on the server-side (powered by Node) and there's good support for iOS, Android, Ruby, Python, etc.
