Best of Breed versus Polyglot Revisited

Best of Breed versus Polyglot Revisited

By Guest Authors on February 28, 2013

If you feel that PaaS is a new-age devops/application management tool, like any management tool user or vendor, you’ll want maximum breadth of coverage. Nobody wants multiple monitoring, backup, deployment or configuration management solutions for each platform or application in their environment. Heterogeneous breadth coverage with the ever elusive “single pane of glass” is the […]

The Truth About Lock In

The Truth About Lock In

By Guest Authors on February 13, 2013

Last week I was invited to speak at a Microsoft conference in Redmond about building cloud applications for portability across clouds and infrastructure. In my presentation, I approached the issue of application portability from the enterprise perspective. This means that developers generally are not choosing servers, clouds or other infrastructure components. Developers focus on building […]

PaaS and Mobile Enterprise – Real Conversations with Customers

PaaS and Mobile Enterprise – Real Conversations with Customers

By Guest Authors on January 24, 2013

One of the benefits of working on cutting edge technology like PaaS is that I get to have conversations with enterprise customers about the transformations that PaaS will bring. Increasingly, I’m seeing lots of interest in the intersection of PaaS and mobile enterprise (yeah, it’s not just an attempt by me to put together two buzzwords!). […]

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, […]

VMware Horizon App Manager – A Quick Analysis

By Krishnan Subramanian on May 17, 2011

Whether you want to call it consumerization of enterprises or democratization of IT, we know that it is happening already and no FUD can stop them anymore. Instead of fighting this process, today’s smart enterprises are embracing them by empowering their users to securely use SaaS and other consumer applications. VMware realized this trend and […]

Out of Left Field: Vmware Acquires Sliderocket

By Zoli Erdos on April 26, 2011

Quick initial reaction: scratching head. Vmware recently shook up the Cloud Computing world with the launch of Cloud Foundry and I think most of us would have pegged them as an infrastructure company.  Then all of a sudden they buy Sliderocket, the great collaborative presentations company.  Why is this a big deal?  Probably not for […]

SaaS Application Architecture is a Good Fit for Enterprises

By Guest Authors on March 24, 2009

When applications are designed (On-Premise or On-Demand), they are typically architected based on the number of users they are intended to serve as the architecture vastly varies based on the type/size of deployment.
