Gartner’s Latest IaaS Magic Quadrant Released–Meh With a Bit of Interesting

Gartner’s Latest IaaS Magic Quadrant Released–Meh With a Bit of Interesting

By Ben Kepes on October 22, 2012

I’m not usually big on Gartner’s crystal-ball-gazing Magic Quadrant methodology – some people claim it’s pay-for-play writ large. I don’t know about that, it just seems to be a somewhat hokey, albeit scientifically-based, prediction of what might occur or, more often, hat already is.

Cloudology–All That is Bad About IT

Cloudology–All That is Bad About IT

By Ben Kepes on December 4, 2011

I haven’t got a lifetime’s experience in IT. Rather than an impediment in my career however, I’ve found that having come from a varied background has given me a degree of perspective that perhaps some of my lifers don’t enjoy. Case in point – this Cloudology diagram that Simon Wardley pointed out to me recently […]

Oracle Introduces Cloud and Social. My Perspective

By Ben Kepes on October 6, 2011

  by  Oracle_Photos_Screenshots    During a keynote that saw Larry Ellison make up for his abysmal performance of a few days before, and before bigger news events in Silicon Valley bought the tech world to its knees, a number of announcements were made with the usual Ellison flourishes. Curiously these two massive announcements were made towards the […]

For those of you who are either generally interested or perhaps following from afar, it has certainly been difficult to miss the numerous goings-on within the OpenStack community over this last couple of weeks.

Simon Wardley's Prophecy: Is Openstack The Small Guy Going To Disrupt Amazon's Dominance?

Simon Wardley’s Prophecy: Is Openstack The Small Guy Going To Disrupt Amazon’s Dominance?

By Krishnan Subramanian on July 28, 2010

When I wrote about Openstack last week, I talked about the disruptive potential of an Openstack.org and how it can make the market by empowering the smaller players. Many people who dismiss Openstack.org as a non-starter fail to understand that it is just a start. Openstack.org doesn’t claim it has the miracle pill for all […]
