Hewlett-Packard gets real

By Paul Miller on April 8, 2015

The New York Times’ Quentin Hardy reports HP’s Bill Hilf as saying that: “We thought people would rent or buy computing from us. It turns out that it makes no sense for us to go head-to-head [with Amazon].” Well, yes. But, and it’s a huge but… this doesn’t mean HP is abandoning (or should abandon) the […]

OpenStack: A Community Torn Apart – Freedland, Bias and Scoble

By Ofir Nachmani on January 10, 2014

Last month, I attended the OpenStack summit in Tel Aviv.  This was yet another great event brought to us by the brilliant Gigaspaces team (especially @shar1z) headed by one of the most important cloud evangelists in Israel and the world, @natishalom. OpenStack aims to provide the ubiquitous open source cloud computing platform for public and private clouds. Wikipedia […]

OpenStack, why passion found in favor of open source standardization?

OpenStack, why passion found in favor of open source standardization?

By Paul Lopez on September 4, 2013

OpenStack platform continues to be followed. But the usual question comes in mind that why passion found in favor of open source standardization? Interoperability in the cloud is a great feature of OpenStack, but this is not the only reason. There are many good things about this platform which we need to know. OpenStack is […]

ITaaS is About More Than Just Cloud

ITaaS is About More Than Just Cloud

By Guest Authors on August 29, 2013

ITaaS, short for IT-as-a-Service, is one of the more misleading acronyms around.  Because it follows the somewhat annoying “XaaS” pattern, many assume that like SaaS, PaaS, or IaaS it’s just another cloud delivery model or technology platform. This mistaken assumption will prove to be very costly for many in enterprise IT. ITaaS is in fact […]

Ravello Systems Announcing General Availability of Its Cloud Application Hypervisor

By Ofir Nachmani on August 14, 2013

The public cloud market is young, despite AWS’ growth and current worth of a few billion dollars. Most of the enterprise’s IT resources are still hosted on the organizational premise supported by VMware hypervisor. The enterprise hybrid challenge is hidden in the cloud utility model’s basic notion of hardware as software, whereas legacy application topology, […]

Amazon, Microsoft and Google: The Cloud Leading Trio

Amazon, Microsoft and Google: The Cloud Leading Trio

By Ofir Nachmani on July 11, 2013

Following several discussions with fellow bloggers and industry executives, I found it quite fitting that the natural cloud leaders are the top software and web giants: Google, Microsoft and Amazon. While Amazon’s AWS is The public cloud today Google recently reported that it is doubling its office space near Seattle, just miles from the campuses of Amazon and Microsoft, […]

VMware vs. Amazon … ROUND TWO … FIGHT! — VMW Conceding Impotence?

VMware vs. Amazon … ROUND TWO … FIGHT! — VMW Conceding Impotence?

By Randy Bias on March 5, 2013

Two and a half years ago I wrote about the inevitable throwdown between VMware and Amazon Web Services (AWS), but recently VMware’s senior leadership appeared to outright admit defeat.  The message to VMware’s partners was simple: “We want to own corporate workload,” said Pat Gelsinger, VMware’s CEO. “We all lose if they end up in […]

Tensions in the Cloud Foundry Camp–On the Problems with Forks

By Ben Kepes on February 27, 2013

Let there be no doubt, open source projects are hard. Balancing central control while still allowing individual members a degree of autonomy is like walking a tightrope – too much control and it looks like a dictatorship, too little and the initiative risks spiraling out of control in the face

Overcoming the Perils of Licensing with CiRBA

By Ben Kepes on January 30, 2013

The efficiency that virtualization brings is good and all, but there still exists issues around licensing costs. Essentially having a virtualization product, and making licensing changes to optimize a customer’s costs are two very different things. CiRBA, a provider of capacity control software, aims to help with this problem with
