Cloud Architecture And Best Of Breed

Cloud Architecture And Best Of Breed

By Krishnan Subramanian on October 10, 2012

As cloud computing becomes all the more pervasive, people are rethinking the idea of buying software and hardware suites in favor of best of breed approach. In a way, cloud architecture makes it easy to avoid the integrated stack lock-in as interoperability through open APIs is taken for granted in most cases. At Boxworks 2012, […]

Pre BoxWorks Thoughts: Box To Play Best Of Breed Game?

By Krishnan Subramanian on October 7, 2012

I am on the plane to attend BoxWorks 2012, the annual user conference of Box. Before hearing anything from Box, I am trying to make sense of Box’s strategy based on what I heard in the past 3 weeks during Salesforce and Tibco events. It will be interesting to hear from Box in the next […]

Open Source Dynamics: Shall We Put An End To The Meaningless Arguments?

By Krishnan Subramanian on October 3, 2012

For sometime now, we are seeing some arguments in the industry about open source which I think is a waste of meaningful dialog space. I thought I will put out a post asking people to focus their valuable energy on a more meaningful discussion. This post might appear like a rant but it is not. […]

Dreamforce 2012: Betting On Social Enterprise

By Krishnan Subramanian on September 24, 2012

Dreamforce 2012 was held last week at San Francisco with large number of attendees from all over the world. If the conference numbers are any indication of market performance, Salesforce is giving a tough fight to Oracle but they rarely indicate anything significant other than showing enthusiasm among their users. With master showman Marc Benioff […]

Citrix, Cumulogic And PaaS Trends

Citrix, Cumulogic And PaaS Trends

By Krishnan Subramanian on September 17, 2012

Last week Citrix (previous CloudAve coverage) announced that Citrix Startup Accelerator, their incubator arm, will invest in the PaaS startup Cumulogic (previous CloudAve coverage). On the first look, this is not a significant news and many in tech media didn’t even bother to cover it like some of the other PaaS news around the industry. […]

By Krishnan Subramanian on August 30, 2012

  rPath (previous CloudAve coverage) has been pushing their offering as Enterprise PaaS.

Premature Dell Obituary?

Premature Dell Obituary?

By Krishnan Subramanian on August 13, 2012

Last week, Pando Daily had an obituary written for Dell (previous CloudAve coverage) based entirely on their dismal performance in the consumer sector. In a week and a half, Dell will announce its second-quarter earnings results. Expect a bloodbath. In the first quarter, back in May, Dell gave the market a goose egg — analysts […]

Service Providers And PaaS

By Krishnan Subramanian on August 2, 2012

As I push the themes of federated clouds and paas as the future of cloud services hard, people always question me about how these two seemingly disparate themes reconcile and how can I tie up different, seemingly, loose ends in my model. I will one day dust off my laziness and write about the big […]

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.
