The New Economics of Technology Startups?

The New Economics of Technology Startups?

By Guest Authors on September 22, 2009

I have recently been reading the book “Free: The Future of a Radical Price” by Chris Anderson.  Well I am not actually reading it as I find I do not have time for reading books any more.  These days I do all of my “book reading” using audio books from Audible.com.  I find that by […]

Why a Business Process Modeling (BPM) Approach to SOA Usually Fails

Why a Business Process Modeling (BPM) Approach to SOA Usually Fails

By Guest Authors on September 3, 2009

I was having a Twitter conversation with Brenda Michelson (@bmichelson) and Todd Biske (@toddbiske) about the tight coupling in peoples minds between BPM and SOA, and why I find that when people take a BPM centric approach to SOA, it usually ends up not delivering the goods.  So today’s post is about how to properly […]

Enterprise 2.0 Needs To Stop Being So Naive

Enterprise 2.0 Needs To Stop Being So Naive

By Guest Authors on September 1, 2009

You know I really struggle to get excited about Enterprise 2.0.  Not because I don’t think IT needs to undergo change, but because I feel that Enterprise 2.0 as we seem to be defining it, and covering it in the press and the blogosphere just doesn’t seem to be solving the key issues that either […]

The Need For Speed

The Need For Speed

By Guest Authors on August 26, 2009

Image via Wikipedia Yesterday was a busy day for me.  It started at 4:30 AM when I had to do an interview with a reporter from Bloomberg who covers the European Stock Exchanges.  There was then coverage of the goings on with some of my clients in the Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, and many […]

What’s in a Cloud (or Not)

By Guest Authors on August 24, 2009

I read a lot of articles on technology and it always amazes me the degree of heated debate that goes on in the blogosphere, social media and elsewhere over simple definitions.  What caught my attention today was the number of posts and comments on Twitter about what was or was not Cloud. So the question […]

How To Build an SOA Based, High Performance, Scalable and Reliable Twitter on Steroids

How To Build an SOA Based, High Performance, Scalable and Reliable Twitter on Steroids

By Guest Authors on August 20, 2009

Over the past few days I have been having some issues with my Twitter account.  Beyond the well known pauses in the service, outages, etc there are some less known but more annoying problems with twitter search.  It turns out that many accounts don’t show up in search at all.  Therefore, if you are one […]

The Evolution Of Reliability and High Availability

The Evolution Of Reliability and High Availability

By Guest Authors on August 19, 2009

Over the last few decades, the technologies we used and the approaches we took to make our systems reliable have undergone a steady evolution. In some cases the technology has just gotten more reliable through quality control at the hardware level (consider an Intel Blade today compared to my 1986 Zenith 8088 that I wrote […]

High Availability Series: Series Outline

By Guest Authors on August 18, 2009

With all of the talk about reliability, or lack thereof, of SaaS and Cloud based applications, I thought I would write a series on designing applications to be Resilient and Highly Available.  The series sort of started with this post “It’s Inadequate Design That Lets Systems Fail, Not Whether They Are SaaS or Deployed in […]

It's Inadequate Design That Lets Systems Fail, Not Whether They Are SaaS or Deployed in The Cloud

It’s Inadequate Design That Lets Systems Fail, Not Whether They Are SaaS or Deployed in The Cloud

By Guest Authors on August 18, 2009

There have been many high profile outages lately which have caught peoples attention.  These failures are being used as an argument for why critical systems should remain internal and not be deployed as SaaS or in the Cloud.  Some of these outages included Google App Engine’s performance issues in early July , Rackspace’s loss of […]

The Challenges of Allowing Offline Usage in a SaaS Based System

The Challenges of Allowing Offline Usage in a SaaS Based System

By Guest Authors on August 17, 2009

So I was reading an article recently about the latest Google Reader and how it still can’t be used offline with full features. In particular the article focuses on its inability to allow you to read articles offline  and then flag those articles as already read, such that when you get back online Google Reader […]
