Deploycon, PaaS & the pending data tier gravity fallout…

Deploycon, PaaS & the pending data tier gravity fallout…

By Adron Hall on April 1, 2013

For a quick recap of last years Deploycon & related talks, check out my “Day #3 => DeployCon && Enterprise && Data Gravity” entry from last year. PaaS Systems aren’t always effectively distributed. Heroku has fallen over every time east-1 has gone down at AWS. Not that I’m saying they’ve done bad, just pointing that […]

Envisioning A Services Based Future

Envisioning A Services Based Future

By Krishnan Subramanian on July 17, 2012

I have been arguing how the future of IT is going to be dominated by services around big data and have even proposed a model for the next generation of PaaS. I started thinking towards this direction after a chat I had with Mike Hoskins, CTO of Pervasive Software, when we met at the sidelines […]

Why I Think Office 365 Is Not (Yet) Ready

Why I Think Office 365 Is Not (Yet) Ready

By Krishnan Subramanian on January 12, 2012

Earlier this week I had a Tweetbate with few folks who have a soft corner for Microsoft products on whether Office 365 (previous CloudAve coverage), Microsoft’s cloud based productivity suite, is a credible player in the modern cloud business applications space. When I say modern cloud business applications, I expect them to have, at least, […]

Loss Of Control And Transparency In The Cloud Era

Loss Of Control And Transparency In The Cloud Era

By Krishnan Subramanian on September 9, 2011

One of the biggest worries organizations have about cloud computing is the unexpected outages and the impact of associated disruptions. In fact, some of the traditional vendors use this very issue to push FUD among their customers so that they can lock them in for the foreseeable future. Similarly, if anyone evangelizing cloud tells you […]

What is next for computing when people have gone mobile?

What is next for computing when people have gone mobile?

By Dan Morrill on June 22, 2010

Image via Wikipedia If you own an Iphone, an Ipad, an Android phone, or any of the other highly connected mobile devices, you get a very good idea of where computing is going. The problem is that we are still stuck on the same paradigm when it comes to services and work. Chained to a […]

Micro-chunking Software: Tibco and Zoho CEOs Sing the Same Song (Just from Different Notes)

By Zoli Erdos on June 1, 2010

This should probably be a Tweet, but I am not smart enough to squeeze it into 140 characters – perhaps Tumblr or Posterous notes?  Anyway, I am in a rambling mood – but I’ll keep it short, just pointing to stuff I read.  After all, there’s a reason why my personal blog has the tagline […]

The Best Google Wave Gadgets, Extensions and Robots for the Enterprise

By Mark Fidelman on April 6, 2010

In large part Google Wave has been ignored by the enterprise due to many factors (I’ve listed them below).  As you’ve probably read, Wave started as a huge splash but has been reduced to a ripple as of late due to the lack of a “killer app”. Yet there are some enterprise-worthy applications for Wave […]

Mass Customization: From "There is a plug-in for that" To "There is an app for that"

Mass Customization: From "There is a plug-in for that" To "There is an app for that"

By Chirag Mehta on January 28, 2010

In a much anticipated mystic event Apple announced a tablet called an iPad. Steve Job’s hypnotizing presentation convinced people that iPad is a magic. I was not there in person to see Jobs unveiling an iPad and somehow escaped the magic. That gave me time to think about the implications of a trend that an […]
