Discussing Virtual Machine interoperability with the Open Data Center Alliance

Discussing Virtual Machine interoperability with the Open Data Center Alliance

By Paul Miller on May 16, 2013

The Open Data Center Alliance (ODCA) is holding its Forecast event in San Francisco in June, and I’ve been invited to moderate the panel discussing Virtual Machine Interoperability. As moderator, I’ll be far more interested in facilitating insights from panel and audience than in wittering on about what I think, so I wanted to use this […]

Cisco Calls the Skype Kettle Black

By Dave Michels on February 22, 2012

I didn’t see this one coming – but it makes perfect sense. Cisco communicates to the EU that Microsoft and Skype together may not be such a good thing for the industry, and thus appealed the approval of the merger to the EU. That isn’t in itself too surprising until you consider that the EU […]

What is Really Holding the Cloud Back?

What is Really Holding the Cloud Back?

By Raejeanne Skillern on July 18, 2011

As I was listening to speakers at Structure Conference this year, something caught my attention and changed my thinking on cloud priorities. When IT decision makers are asked to rate the top challenges for cloud adoption, security always rises to the top. Security, security, security. At Structure, I heard something slightly different from Microsoft’s Satya […]

Dial M for Skype

Dial M for Skype

By Dave Michels on June 9, 2011

The more I think about Microsoft acquiring Skype, the more I think it was a pretty smart move. The initial reports were all about synergies with various MS and Skype technologies, upon further reflection, I think the endgame will be carrier disruption….

Eucalyptus Open To OpenStack

Eucalyptus Open To OpenStack

By Krishnan Subramanian on November 12, 2010

Eucalyptus Systems (see previous CloudAve coverage here), the open source academic project which turned into a commercial offering for enterprises, appears to be open about OpenStack (see previous CloudAve coverage here), its biggest Open Source competitor in the space. When OpenStack was established, NASA moved Nebula development from Eucalyptus to OpenStack. Many perceived OpenStack to […]

The Looming Data Wars

The Looming Data Wars

By Krishnan Subramanian on November 8, 2010

Last week, Google asked Facebook to get their hands off the data stored in their service. Google felt that Facebook is taking data in programmatically from other services while not reciprocating in the same way. Google should have made this move 2-3 years back but it is better late than never. Google supports data portability. […]

OSCON Week: Microsoft And Interoperability

OSCON Week: Microsoft And Interoperability

By Krishnan Subramanian on July 22, 2010

Using Microsoft and Interoperability in the same sentence makes me chuckle every time. Well, partly it could be due to my open source bias and I am not denying that. Off late, Microsoft has been making half-hearted attempts to embrace open source. I use the term “half-hearted” here because they do show some serious willingness […]

In The Era Of Mashups, MashSSL Could Be A Savior

In The Era Of Mashups, MashSSL Could Be A Savior

By Krishnan Subramanian on February 2, 2010

Image via Wikipedia From Web 2.0 era to the current SaaS era, we are seeing a proliferation of Mashups, not just in the consumer space but also in the enterprise space. Well, the idea of mashing up of data from two or more data sources/applications is not unique to these times. We have seen such […]

Zoho Ramps Up SaaS Integration Dance With Google

Zoho Ramps Up SaaS Integration Dance With Google

By Krishnan Subramanian on December 2, 2009

It is my strongest belief that interoperability is the key to the success of Cloud Computing. I have never hesitated to discuss interoperability news in this space irrespective of whether it is cloud applications or platform or infrastructure. As a strong supporter of a federated cloud ecosystem, I feel that every cloud vendor should have […]

Eucalyptus Shakes Up Cloud Interoperability Scene

Eucalyptus Shakes Up Cloud Interoperability Scene

By Krishnan Subramanian on September 10, 2009

Eucalyptus Systems, the open source cloud computing project that graduated from the hallways of academia to industry few months back, is back in news again (Cloud Ave’s previous coverage of Eucalyptus is here and here. You can also listen to Paul Miller’s podcast here.). This time, they have made an announcement and its repercussions can […]

Platform Interoperability: Force.com Talks To Google App Engine

Platform Interoperability: Force.com Talks To Google App Engine

By Krishnan Subramanian on May 28, 2009

In my opinion, the future of Cloud Computing will be a more federated ecosystem than few players holding a monopoly kind of dominance. In such a federated ecosystem, interoperability becomes very important. I have emphasized the importance of interoperability many times in this space. Unless we have Clouds talking to one another, we will end […]

Open Federated Clouds And Sun’s Cloud Announcement

Open Federated Clouds And Sun’s Cloud Announcement

By Krishnan Subramanian on March 24, 2009

Image by Getty Images via Daylife Last week, Sun Microsystems announced their Cloud Computing plans. I spent some time thinking about their offerings and its impact on Cloud Computing. If we remove the chatter around the rumored IBM’s acquisition of Sun and proceed with the assumption that Sun remains an independent entity, I get some […]

Interoperability Doesn’t Stop With Technology

Interoperability Doesn’t Stop With Technology

By Krishnan Subramanian on January 5, 2009

Image via CrunchBase I am a strong advocate of interoperability between various Cloud players. In my opinion, it is very important for the very success of Cloud Computing, in general, and SaaS, in particular. Cloud vendors are slowly opening up their services through APIs so that other vendors and third party applications can integrate with […]
