PaaS Pivot: Big Data At The Core Of Platform Services

PaaS Pivot: Big Data At The Core Of Platform Services

By Krishnan Subramanian on January 17, 2013

As we go into 2013, I keep thinking about the evolution of the Platform as a Service and wonder what is in store for this segment this year. As Platform Services are one of my core focus areas of research, I thought I will start off this year with a post on this topic. For […]

Why CloudFoundry Spin Off Is Interesting

Why CloudFoundry Spin Off Is Interesting

By Krishnan Subramanian on December 4, 2012

The rumors are true with VMware publicly announcing that CloudFoundry will be spun off as a separate organization along with EMC’s Greenplum and VMware’s vFabric. This unit will be headed by Paul Maritz, former CEO of VMware. This leaves VMware to focus on their Software Defined DataCenter initiative which they announced during last VMworld. I […]

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 […]

Why CloudFoundry Core Is (Not) Important?

Why CloudFoundry Core Is (Not) Important?

By Krishnan Subramanian on November 16, 2012

On Tuesday, VMware’s CloudFoundry project announced the availability of CloudFoundry Core, a baseline to test if an application is compatible to CloudFoundry’s core open source release. The CloudFoundry Core is based on a set of components that forms the baseline for the definition of core. Right now, they have limited set of programming languages and […]

Build 2012: Microsoft Takes The First Step Towards A Coherent Platform Strategy

Build 2012: Microsoft Takes The First Step Towards A Coherent Platform Strategy

By Krishnan Subramanian on November 1, 2012

This week I had a chance to spend some time at the Build 2012 conference, Microsoft’s developer conference. Though I didn’t get a chance to attend the keynotes or any briefings, I spent time talking to Microsoft employees, developers and partners attending the event. I thought I will share my take on Microsoft’s platform strategy based […]

A response to Geoffrey Moore: Manifest Disruption

A response to Geoffrey Moore: Manifest Disruption

By Randy Bias on October 19, 2012

Sometimes, when you see something sufficiently off-track, you need to respond, even when the person in question may be a personal hero of yours.  Geoffrey Moore (yes *that* one), recently wrote an article about Cloud Computing that made me very sad.  Besides being off-track, it felt to me as if Mr. Moore had spent more time looking […]

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. […]

CAMP: Will It Be Relevant?

By Krishnan Subramanian on September 4, 2012

Last week at CloudOpen 2012, a group of vendors in the platforms space announced a new set of specifications to help simplify management of applications in the public and private clouds. Called CAMP, these specifications are submitted to OASIS to develop it as an industry standard. The initial reaction from the industry and some cloud […]

rPath Press Release: False Promise of PaaS and Impact on Businesses

rPath Press Release: False Promise of PaaS and Impact on Businesses

By Krishnan Subramanian on August 31, 2012

To add context to the discussion and why I perceive rPath’s use of the term PaaS is actually a misuse of the term, I am posting a press release I got from them on May 9th 2012 with the above title and the content below. ################################################################## Is PaaS (Platform as a Service) an all-encompassing solution […]

rPath's Enterprise PaaS Is Not PaaS. Period.

rPath’s Enterprise PaaS Is Not PaaS. Period.

By Krishnan Subramanian on August 30, 2012

  rPath (previous CloudAve coverage) has been pushing their offering as Enterprise PaaS. Recently they briefed me on their announcement made this week around VMworld about Enterprise Cloud Adoption Framework. They unveiled this along with Cisco Systems as a way for enterprises to push their legacy applications to cloud. They are arguing that enterprises are […]

By Krishnan Subramanian on August 21, 2012

Intel, the portland based microprocessor vendor, is also a large enterprise IT user. They have large number of employees spread all over the world and they have various divisions including manufacturing. We thought it will be a good idea to talk to them and find out how they are leveraging cloud computing. As a part […]

By Krishnan Subramanian on August 21, 2012

Engine Yard (previous CloudAve coverage), one of the earliest PaaS players to enter the market, today announced the availability of Node.js support on their platform. This is the next step in the evolution of a company that started as a pure play Ruby on Rails PaaS player on AWS. The last few announcements clearly indicate that […]

Service Providers And PaaS

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 […]

Envisioning A Services Based Future

Envisioning A Services Based Future

By Krishnan Subramanian on July 17, 2012

I have been arguing how the future of IT is going to be dominated by services around big data and have even proposed a model for the next generation of PaaS. I started thinking towards this direction after a chat I had with Mike Hoskins, CTO of Pervasive Software, when we met at the sidelines […]

Who Will Disrupt AWS?

By Krishnan Subramanian on June 18, 2012

Last week Amazon Web Services (previous CloudAve coverage) announced that they are lowering their support costs and also introducing a free plan. The AWS Support program just got even better! We have added features, lowered prices, and created a new free support plan that includes immediate access to customer service and technical support for AWS […]
