By Krishnan Subramanian on September 9, 2010

Earlier today, I wrote about Amazon’s announcement on the availability of the new Micro Instances and their aggressive pricing strategy. The surprising factor for me is their competitive pricing. Their on-demand instance is only 2 cents per hour for Linux and 3 cents per hour for Windows. A 24/7 usage of a Linux Micro Instance […]

Rackspace Cloud Makes It Easy For .Net Developers

Rackspace Cloud Makes It Easy For .Net Developers

By Krishnan Subramanian on September 8, 2010

After releasing Windows Cloud Servers last month, Rackspace is now focussing on getting .NET developers use their cloud. When they released their Windows cloud servers, I was skeptical of developers moving to their servers instead of using Azure platform. In my opinion, their Windows based offerings may fill the gap in catering to their existing […]

Did We Get The Cloud Infrastructure Business Wrong?

Did We Get The Cloud Infrastructure Business Wrong?

By Krishnan Subramanian on August 6, 2010

The conventional wisdom among the pundits covering Infrastructure services is that cloud infrastructure business is a high volume low margin business. Some pundits even dismissed Amazon Web Services because they are not going up the stack to differentiate themselves unlike, say, Salesforce.com. Amazon probably isn’t going all that far in it [cloud]. It’s got great […]

Handful Of Monopoly Infrastructure Players - A Shortsighted Idea

Handful Of Monopoly Infrastructure Players – A Shortsighted Idea

By Krishnan Subramanian on July 10, 2009

Some commentators in the field of Cloud Computing like to promote the idea that there will be a single (or a handful) monopoly player(s) in the Cloud infrastructure market. The biggest reason quoted to justify this claim is the high cost of building and maintaining the datacenters. The supporters of this school of thought argue that not many companies can […]

USA Leading the Broadband Connectivity Index.  Really?

USA Leading the Broadband Connectivity Index. Really?

By Zoli Erdos on February 23, 2009

Common wisdom is that the US is way behind developed Asian and European countries in Broadband (and also Mobility).   Not quite so – says  Professor Leonard Waverman of the London Business School, who published a study on the World’s Connectivity Scorecard.  His key thesis is that penetration and connection speed is not enough to […]
