Five Things OpenStack Needs to Do … Now.

Five Things OpenStack Needs to Do … Now.

By Randy Bias on September 17, 2015

At the most recent OpenStack SV 2015 event, I was invited to speak and provide a viewpoint on OpenStack’s future.  The year before in 2014 I gave a talk entitled “Lie of the Benevolent Dictator” which spawned the Product Working Group for OpenStack.  A blog posting entitled The Future of OpenStack is Now, 2015 in […]

Amazon iterates, Google partners

Amazon iterates, Google partners

By Paul Miller on July 17, 2015

Positive cloudy news from two of the big three, with Amazon Web Services (AWS) making some significant improvements to their DynamoDB service and Google signing on as a sponsor of the OpenStack cloud platform. AWS has got this incremental improvement thing down to a fine art, to the extent that too many competitors have stopped […]

Money for IaaS, money for streaming data

Money for IaaS, money for streaming data

By Paul Miller on July 9, 2015

$83 million for Digital Ocean, with its bare-bones spin on cloud-based infrastructure… and $24 million for Confluent, the company behind Apache Kafka. Digital Ocean’s not an AWS-killer (and doesn’t think it is, either), and Kafka addresses a rather specific set of use cases around messaging between devices and/or application components… but both are solid pieces of […]

Project CoprHD’s Architecture

By Randy Bias on July 9, 2015

Unless you had your head in the sand, you probably saw my blog post talking about Project CoprHD (“copperhead”), EMC’s first open source product. Exciting times are ahead when one of the world’s largest enterprise vendors embraces open source in a big way. Does it get any bigger than picking your flagship software-defined storage (SDS) […]

Open Source Software and the US Government

By Paul Miller on July 7, 2015

Open Source Software and the US Government: “…it has been determined that — in general — Members and staff in the U.S. House of Representatives, when conducting official business, now have a choice between using proprietary and closed technology and open source solutions that are restriction-free, reusable and frequently more cost-effective.” That this is news, […]

Introducing CoprHD (“copperhead”), the Cornerstone of a Software-Defined Future

Introducing CoprHD (“copperhead”), the Cornerstone of a Software-Defined Future

By Randy Bias on May 15, 2015

You’ve probably been wondering what I’ve been working on post-acquisition and yesterday you saw some of the fruits of my (and many others) labor in the CoprHD announcement.  CoprHD, pronounced “copperhead” like the snake, is EMC’s first ever open source product.  That EMC would announce open sourcing a product is probably as big a surprise […]

Software Load Testing: A Perfect Match for the Cloud

Software Load Testing: A Perfect Match for the Cloud

By Ofir Nachmani on December 22, 2014

The cloud has allowed modern, web-scale IT companies, like Airbnb and Netflix, to grow and flourish into booming enterprises all over the web. With its flexibility and efficiency, it supports the demand of an organization’s growth from zero to millions of users, allowing them to prepare for this potential growth, as well. Before the cloud, […]

What’s in a name in open source?

What does community mean to you?
Community is an overloaded word, it can mean anything. Community can mean just people who use your product. Or maybe it’s those who build your product, or maybe it’s the business partners who are using it. Or maybe it’s…

Broadly speaking, there are two types of open source software. The free software, which has a reciprocity requirement in it. Open source software which doesn’t.

Over the last couple years there have been two prominent open source PaaS Solutions come onto the market. Cloud Foundry & OpenShift. There’s been a lot of talk about these plays and the talk has slowly but steadily turned into traction. Large enterprises are picking these up and giving their developers and operations staff a …

…if you are deciding what to attend this year, here’s the top of the list. Just a few key conferences that will kick ass in technical & academic content. The other great thing about these conferences is that they either have a “code of ethics” or are reknown for real conference diversity vs. the “hey […]

OpenStack Infighting: Will It Affect The Project?

OpenStack Infighting: Will It Affect The Project?

By Krishnan Subramanian on January 16, 2013

It has been 2+ years since OpenStack was launched and the project is slowly maturing as organizations are exploring the use of OpenStack for their private cloud needs. As money gets into the ecosystem, it is natural for bickering to start among the ecosystem players. In fact, naysayers of the project has been saying this […]

CloudFoundry Core May Not Be Important But CloudFoundry Is Important

CloudFoundry Core May Not Be Important But CloudFoundry Is Important

By Krishnan Subramanian on November 26, 2012

Two weeks back I wrote a post arguing that CloudFoundry Core is not important. I had argued that even though CloudFoundry Core is done with an intention to make application portability seamless across various CloudFoundry deployments, the business considerations of PaaS vendors in the ecosystem will ensure that application portability is not a given. The […]
