451 Research on IaaS

451 Research on IaaS

By Paul Miller on April 16, 2015

This diagram, from a recent 451 Research report, is intriguing. AWS is top of the heap, “used by the majority of enterprise IaaS customers in the study (57%) and is also cited as the most important IaaS provider by 35% of these current IaaS customers.” But look at Rackspace, ahead of AWS on ‘promise’ and only just […]

Eucalyptus' AWS Bet

Eucalyptus’ AWS Bet

By Krishnan Subramanian on November 27, 2012

Yesterday Eucalyptus announced the new version of their software and, in the process, more closely aligned with AWS. It is not surprising given the ground realities of cloud infrastructure market. I would even argue that it is a smart bet by Eucalyptus which could help them as enterprises are seriously considering AWS off late. Before […]

Google Compute Engine Is Gonna Change The Public Cloud Game

Google Compute Engine Is Gonna Change The Public Cloud Game

By Krishnan Subramanian on October 18, 2012

During the last Google I/O, Google’s user conference, Google announced Google Compute Engine (GCE). GCE was Google’s answer to Amazon EC2 and they opened up their private beta to handful of people. I was not lucky enough to get into the list but I recently got an opportunity to check it out myself. Before I talk […]

OpenStack Summit - Fall 2012: My Expectations

OpenStack Summit – Fall 2012: My Expectations

By Krishnan Subramanian on October 15, 2012

As I travel to San Diego to attend the OpenStack Summit (Fall 2012 edition), I am thinking about what to expect from the event. I wrote about the enthusiasm I saw in the community after the April 2012 Summit. Even though I expect to see the same (more) enthusiasm in the community, I also want […]

This will essentially allow their enterprise customers to deploy […]

When did Amazon abandon Main Street for ‘the Skyscrapers of Cloud Hosting’ ?

When did Amazon abandon Main Street for ‘the Skyscrapers of Cloud Hosting’ ?

By Paul Miller on August 20, 2012

In the competitive world of cloud-based computing infrastructure, Amazon remains top dog. It’s highly visible, its footprint is almost global, it incrementally adds features or cuts prices to keep competitors on their toes, and it generally manages to meet most people’s needs, most of the time. It may not always offer the lowest prices, or […]

OpenStack Elections: Troubling Questions

OpenStack Elections: Troubling Questions

By Krishnan Subramanian on August 1, 2012

Last weekend there was an uproar in the cloud community over a post made by Shanley Kane, geek in the valley working for Basho. The post is now removed from her Github account but it was apparently forked by Justin Sheehy and it is missing too. Even more surprisingly, it is also gone from Google […]

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 […]

By Krishnan Subramanian on July 24, 2012

Even though I missed the OpenStack day at the conference, I did get a chance to talk to OpenStack team, developers, practitioners, well wishers, etc. during the event.

Why Google Compute Engine Is The Right Move

Why Google Compute Engine Is The Right Move

By Krishnan Subramanian on July 9, 2012

Two weeks back at Google I/O, Google announced the release of their infrastructure services offering called Google Compute Engine. This is a pretty interesting move from Google who is late in the infrastructure game compared to Amazon Web Services or, even, Microsoft Azure. The last two weeks were filled with posts from pundits and I […]

IaaS vs. PaaS or Infrastructure vs. Platform and I Want Beer NOW!

IaaS vs. PaaS or Infrastructure vs. Platform and I Want Beer NOW!

By Adron Hall on July 6, 2012

A friend and now coworker of mine, Richard Seroter (@rseroter & Blog) decided to do a comparo. I took the infrastructure based deployment, ala IaaS and he took the platform based deployment, ala PaaS. What we’ve done is taken a somewhat standard ASP.NET MVC with Entity Framework, a SQL Server Database, a UX & UI design […]
