By Krishnan Subramanian on February 16, 2012

This week, there were quite a few OpenStack (previous CloudAve coverage) related news and I thought I will do a single blog post talking about them. Some of them came during the event and some outside of it. This post […]

Open Cloud Initiative Is Dead Long Live OCI

Open Cloud Initiative Is Dead Long Live OCI

By Krishnan Subramanian on February 9, 2012

First let me make it clear that Open Cloud Initiative (OCI) is not dead and it is going to stay for a long time advocating openness. Also, I will fight all I can to keep it going. Having said that I am writing this post to re-emphasize something which I have been saying all along. […]

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 […]

Understanding Changes in the Software & Venture Capital Industries

Understanding Changes in the Software & Venture Capital Industries

By Mark Suster on June 28, 2011

In this three-part series I will explore the ways that the Venture Capital industry has changed over the past 5 years that I would argue are a direct result of changes in the software industry, not the other way around. Specifically, Amazon has changed our entire industry in profound ways often not attributed strongly enough […]

Citrix’s Confusing Open Cloud Strategy

Citrix’s Confusing Open Cloud Strategy

By Krishnan Subramanian on September 3, 2010

Early this week Citrix announced their Citrix Open Cloud framework and ever since I am confused both about their name and also their strategy. Part of my confusion is due to the vague information, without any specifics, on their website and seemingly arrogant response on Twitter by some of their top executives when asked to […]

VMOps Reboots As Cloud.com

By Krishnan Subramanian on May 4, 2010

In this context, I have been talking about enablers like VMOps and regional cloud providers like Reliacloud and Scaleup Technologies . Today, VMOps announced that they are rebranding as […]

ScaleUp Technologies, Powering The Cloud For German Users

ScaleUp Technologies, Powering The Cloud For German Users

By Krishnan Subramanian on March 2, 2010

For a long time, I am debunking the idea that the cloud infrastructure market will consolidate and we will end up with a handful of monopoly players. In my opinion this is short sighted idea and it is due to the lack of understanding of the diverse needs of users around the world. One way […]

RIP: Sun Cloud

RIP: Sun Cloud

By Krishnan Subramanian on January 28, 2010

In March of last year, then independent Sun Microsystems announced their plans for cloud computing. There were some people who dismissed it outright and many more who were skeptical of Sun’s plans. I was in a minority and was pretty excited about the announcement because of its potential to keep the clouds open. In the […]
