The Cloud needs some standards (or a Code of Practice)

The Cloud needs some standards (or a Code of Practice)

By David Terrar on March 12, 2012

One of the big issues for a buyer today considering Cloud Computing is how do you choose a good Cloud provider from a bad one?  Who do you trust?  Maybe the Cloud Topic needs some standards?  Well actually there are so many standards bodies and vendor groups that the picture is confused – something that […]

Social Business at IBM's Hopper Collaboration Diner

Social Business at IBM’s Hopper Collaboration Diner

By David Terrar on March 12, 2012

Last week I was invited by IBM (and Ogilvy PR) to join in the collaboration debates at the Social Business Expo, a new strand of the Unified Communications Expo at Olympia .  This is not an event I would normally attend, covering everything from phone handsets through VoIP to tele conferencing, but I’m sure the […]

Breaking News: IBM Joins OpenStack

Breaking News: IBM Joins OpenStack

By Krishnan Subramanian on February 24, 2012

For a long time I was wondering why IBM is not making the OpenStack (previous CloudAve coverage) play because, if the past is any indication, IBM knows how to effectively leverage open source projects while also contributing heavily to them. They have done it with many open source projects including Linux, OpenOffice, etc.. In fact, […]

Can OpenSocial Be Resurrected In The Enterprise?

Can OpenSocial Be Resurrected In The Enterprise?

By Krishnan Subramanian on February 3, 2012

For most of the pundits out there in valley, OpenSocial is dead and meaningless. However, at Lotusphere 2012 last month, IBM was highlighting how they have used OpenSocial in their image makeover towards Social Business. They have relied on OpenSocial for activity streams and gadgets. When I was speaking to Suzanne Livingston from IBM if […]

Big Blue’s Sphere

Big Blue’s Sphere

By Dave Michels on January 31, 2012

LotusSphere is an odd name for an event about non-Lotus software. That was just one of the themes from IBM’s (presumably last) LotuSphere 2012, that it is killing  the Lotus brand. Not that the show is dying – it’s a huge show. IBM has slowly been distancing itself from the name/brand Lotus – and replacing […]

IBM's Social Agenda

IBM’s Social Agenda

By Krishnan Subramanian on January 26, 2012

Last week IBM hosted the annual Lotusphere event at Orlando. Last year, they made a strategic shift and started pushing heavily on the idea of Social Business and followed it up this year by not only brining last year’s announcements into fruition but also moved out of the Lotus brand to remove any legacy tag […]

TOSCA may prove a prescient name for new cloud standards effort

TOSCA may prove a prescient name for new cloud standards effort

By Paul Miller on January 25, 2012

Image via Wikipedia Last week, open standards body OASIS unveiled yet another shiny new standards effort. The OASIS Topology and Orchestration Specification for Cloud Applications (TOSCA) Technical Committee hopes to make it “easier to deploy cloud applications without vendor lock-in,” and to support moving from one cloud to another. The usual suspects — the likes of IBM, […]

Nurturing the market for Data Markets

Nurturing the market for Data Markets

By Paul Miller on January 10, 2012

From Microsoft’s Azure Data Marketplace to the eponymous DataMarket, or InfoChimps, Factual, and Kasabi, there’s resurgent interest in the venerable business of collecting, curating, and commercialising data created by others. But despite investment and innovation, there isn’t yet the matching evidence for much use or — even — interest amongst prospective customers. In principle, at least, these data markets […]

Why Every Company Needs to be More Like IBM and Less Like Apple

Why Every Company Needs to be More Like IBM and Less Like Apple

By Mark Fidelman on January 5, 2012

I was thirteen years old when I first saw it on TV. An army of blue-gray drones march in lockstep through a long tunnel into an auditorium filled with more drones dressed in futuristic, grey drab. All eyes are transfixed on a big-blue image of a man speaking from a theatre-sized screen, extolling the virtues […]

IBM Makes Rational Software More Palatable To Developers With Green Hat Acquisition

IBM Makes Rational Software More Palatable To Developers With Green Hat Acquisition

By Krishnan Subramanian on January 4, 2012

IBM (previous CloudAve coverage) today announced their intent to acquire the London based software quality testing solution, Green Hat. With this move, IBM is preparing Rational Software for the hybrid era where enterprises will have complex environments including cloud based infrastructure. This is an interesting move considering the fact that Rational Software already has Rational […]

Gartner 2012 Predictions

Gartner 2012 Predictions

By Dave Michels on December 20, 2011

Forbes published an article called The Road Ahead: Gartner’s Outlook for 2012 And Beyond. It offers the reader, in summary/bullet form Gartner’s predictions for the IT sector.  Some of the points are pretty obvious – a clear rise in Cloud and mobility, but there are a few surprises.

Consumer and enterprise IT company analysis

Consumer and enterprise IT company analysis

By Martijn Linssen on November 29, 2011

In January this year I did an analysis of “classical” US IT companies: Google, Microsoft and Apple, which are targeting consumers, and Oracle, SAP, IBM and HP, which are targeting companies. Yes that’s a fairly big generalisation but please allow me to do so… This is the update which includes the next year, I need […]

How to Improve Social Business Adoption as Told by IBM (Part 1)

How to Improve Social Business Adoption as Told by IBM (Part 1)

By Mark Fidelman on November 16, 2011

I typically like to provide context around discussions with industry thought leaders and Executives of the Fortune 500.  Yet some discussions should simply be left untouched and published as-is. It’s not a short article, but the insights around IBM’s journey to becoming a Social Business is remarkable and a must read for those that are […]
