Two Years Of OpenStack: Looking From The Other Side

Two Years Of OpenStack: Looking From The Other Side

By Krishnan Subramanian on July 25, 2012

Yesterday I wrote a post about OpenStack and talked about the concerns among the developers that there is too much emphasis given to marketing than engineering. Yesterday, we publicly came to know about how OpenStack developers from the original Anso Labs team are quitting Rackspace to Nebula, it raises some troubling questions. OpenStackers dismiss this […]

Trash talk and FUD harms the Cloud industry

Trash talk and FUD harms the Cloud industry

By David Terrar on June 11, 2012

Over here we are anticipating this year’s Cloud Computing World Forumin London, but over in the US Larry Ellison, Oracle’s founder and CEO since 1977, has pivoted his position on the Cloud along with “crossing a line” to trash key competitors.  Elsewhere old guard software giants like IBM are mis-communicating the Cloud messages.  How does […]

Will Rackspace Hijack OpenStack Project?

Will Rackspace Hijack OpenStack Project?

By Krishnan Subramanian on February 10, 2011

Yesterday the news about Rackspace buying Anso Labs, a cloud computing consulting firm who played a big role in developing the compute part of OpenStack project, came out and sent the cloud punditry scrambling for an opinion about its impact on OpenStack. Gavin Clarke wrote an article on The Register raising some concerns about Rackspace […]

Skype Downtime And The Cloud Fail

Skype Downtime And The Cloud Fail

By Krishnan Subramanian on December 22, 2010

Skype went down this morning and, as expected, Techmeme and Twitter are already going crazy with the news about downtime. There were speculations about problems with their centralized infrastructure used to authenticate users (which was a cause of trouble in one of the past outages) and some were even talking about “The Cloud Fail”. Whether […]

Open Source Security Revisited - With Enough Eyeballs, All Bugs Are Shallow

Open Source Security Revisited – With Enough Eyeballs, All Bugs Are Shallow

By Krishnan Subramanian on September 16, 2010

It is a common knowledge that, usually, Open Source projects are successful because of the developers scratching their personal itch. It often starts with a group of disgruntled developers frustrated with a proprietary software because it fails to satisfy their needs. The very fact that they are left helpless due to the absence of source […]

FUD in the House of SaaS – More on Suites

FUD in the House of SaaS – More on Suites

By Zoli Erdos on April 26, 2010

Recently I wrote about the evergreen Best-of-breed vs. Integrated All-in-One Suite debate again, arguing: Call me “old school”, but I also believe in the value of having one tightly integrated system for most business needs, and I believe it’s true not only for large corporations but much smaller businesses.  I don’t have CIO’s to back […]

McKinsey FUD Revisited

McKinsey FUD Revisited

By Krishnan Subramanian on April 27, 2009

Image by kyeung808 via Flickr One topic that came up during the panel discussion at the Under the Radar event was about the recently released McKinsey report. Everyone was unanimous in highlighting the “errors” in the report’s conclusion. Many people have written extensively debunking McKinsey’s claims and the report also had support for its claim from pundits who […]

Yes, Stop The FUD And SaaS Is Not ASP In New Clothes

By Krishnan Subramanian on April 9, 2009

Today, Ben did a great post lashing out the FUD around the concept os SaaS (Software as a Service). His post got me fired up to write the arguments I give in different forums to highlight the difference between SaaS and ASP. I hope we could put an end to the tactics of the people […]

SaaS ≠ ASP2.0. A Treatise on FUD

SaaS ≠ ASP2.0. A Treatise on FUD

By Ben Kepes on April 9, 2009

FUD is a sceptics term to describe the cynical creation of Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt (hence FUD) to make a simple issue look more cloudy than it is. Alas there is much FUS present around the SaaS industry. Fellow author Krish has highlighted one example, namely the Microsoft S+S strategy. I’ve recently had a few […]

Cloud Computing is Scary - But the FUD Has to Stop

Cloud Computing is Scary – But the FUD Has to Stop

By Dan Morrill on October 10, 2008

Nevertheless, what I am seeing, and am not surprised by seeing is the standard reaction from some security professionals “no.” It is long past time to continue with the same old tired refrain of “no” and move on to where business is going. Security has been rapidly working on making themselves in a much more […]
