By Chirag Mehta on May 1, 2013

Why CloudFoundry Spin Off Is Interesting

By Krishnan Subramanian on December 4, 2012

The rumors are true with VMware publicly announcing that CloudFoundry will be spun off as a separate organization along with EMC’s Greenplum and VMware’s vFabric. This unit will be headed by Paul Maritz, former CEO of VMware. This leaves VMware to focus on their Software Defined DataCenter initiative which they announced during last VMworld. I […]

Big Data–Over Hyped Buzzword or Enterprise Focus?

Big Data–Over Hyped Buzzword or Enterprise Focus?

By Ben Kepes on August 15, 2012

Of all the myriad of terms that the tech industry throws around at the moment, none is as often subverted for marketing spin as “big data”. So much so that few people can actually agree on what big data is. For me, I’ll revert to Wikipediaand it’s definition which states; big data is a collection […]

Critical Paths & Functional Clouds

Critical Paths & Functional Clouds

By Christian Reilly on June 18, 2012

It took me less than 24 hours of being back in my former “home” of the Middle East (Abu Dhabi to be precise) to be starkly reminded that I had been remiss in my goal of penning some thoughts on the potential emergence of what I’ve dreadfully-named Functional Clouds and, more specifically, where I see they could […]

By Krishnan Subramanian on April 27, 2012

Recently, I wrote a report for GigaOm Pro (behind Paywall) commemorating their Structure:Big Data conference and introduced a term which is going to hurt many organizations in a big way in the near future. I thought I will write about it here and get the thoughts of practitioners and vendors on the problem. In the world […]

4 Big Data Myths – Part I

By Chirag Mehta on April 2, 2012

It was cloud then and it’s Big Data now. Every time there’s a new disruptive category it creates a lot of confusion. These categories are not well-defined. They just catch on. What hurts the most is the myths. This is the first part of my two-part series to debunk Big Data myths. Myth # 4: […]

Next Iteration Of PaaS: Microsoft Game Plan

Next Iteration Of PaaS: Microsoft Game Plan

Big Data ? Big Deal…

Big Data needs Big Collection and Big Execution

By Martijn Linssen on December 4, 2011

Big Data is the new buzz it seems, and I must say I have been sceptic of it since I first saw the very word – or phrase, what is it? As an IT architect, I’ve always equaled data to databases, and information to applications – and knowledge to the people on top of these […]
