Open Discussions On Open Cloud

By Ben Kepes on October 26, 2012

As I go from conference to conference, I’m seeing more and more examples of people talking about the “open cloud.” Proponents talk about choice, flexibility and the inherent safety of the open cloud. Opponents, on the other hand, point to fragmentation, immaturity and concerns about anything that is available without

A Conversation on Open Cloud–Google+ Hangout

By Ben Kepes on September 4, 2012

The discussion around open versus closed in the cloud is reaching fever pitch but what does it all mean? Many people have but the loosest understanding of what open cloud means and the differences between open source, open clouds and federated clouds. I’m in the process of writing a paper

Rackspace deploys OpenStack–AppFog Delivers the Promise of PaaS

Rackspace deploys OpenStack–AppFog Delivers the Promise of PaaS

By Ben Kepes on August 1, 2012

Today is an exciting day for anyone who follows the infrastructure or PaaS space today as Rackspace announced the general availability of cloud services powered by OpenStack. It’s also a satisfying day for those who have argued at length with people within the cloud community who have been adamant that OpenStack isn’t actually ready for […]

Cloud Spring

By Christian Reilly on November 8, 2011

Following the November 7 announcement of Rackspace’s tantalizingly named (and OpenStack-powered) Rackspace Cloud: Private Edition, I’ve found that I have descended into doing something I don’t normally do – getting all hot under the collar over what amounts to really nothing more than a clever positioning statement.

The Rise Of Managed Cloud Services

The Rise Of Managed Cloud Services

By Krishnan Subramanian on December 14, 2010

Looks like it is time to take “self service” out of cloud definition. There is a new trend that is slowly gaining traction which, even though it is not cloud washing, appears to be a desperate repackaging of services by companies with deep roots in the managed hosting world. I still feel that the availability […]
