Which Apps To Move To The Cloud?

Which Apps To Move To The Cloud?

By Ben Kepes on January 9, 2013

I don’t preach an “all or nothing” cloud approach. Cloud is a sliding wedge and existing organizations should look at taking baby steps and slowly increase the breadth and depth of their cloud usage.

Big Data as Core, Big Data as Context, and Big Data as Buzzword Bingo

Big Data as Core, Big Data as Context, and Big Data as Buzzword Bingo

By Paul Miller on December 21, 2012

It’s neither particularly newsworthy nor insightful to suggest that ‘Big Data’ gets everywhere these days, but two recent items reminded me of the gulf between credible execution of a big data play and the more questionable tacking of the big data meme onto an otherwise useful product. Christmas is coming. Which means skating, and pantomimes […]

Hewlett Packard: a tale of many clouds

Hewlett Packard: a tale of many clouds

By Paul Miller on December 13, 2012

Hewlett Packard used its Discover event in Frankfurt last week to reassert the company’s cloud credentials. Public, private, hybrid; HP is painting pictures that encompass them all, whilst seeking to protect hardware revenues and reassure conservative executives at some of its largest and most profitable customers. But HP has been here before, making bold claims […]

HP Announces Private PaaS Powered by Stackato

HP Announces Private PaaS Powered by Stackato

By Ben Kepes on December 5, 2012

At HP’s Discover event here in Frankfurt today, the company will be announcing a private PaaS offering, built on top of Stackato, the PaaS which is itself a fork of the open source Cloud Foundry initiative. HP has entered into an agreement with ActiveState, the company behind Stackato, to OEM its platform and integrate it […]

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 […]

Heroku Joins Cloud Foundry for Multi-PaaS Support from Appsecute

Heroku Joins Cloud Foundry for Multi-PaaS Support from Appsecute

By Ben Kepes on November 29, 2012

Let’s settle two things from the outset – firstly, PaaS is (I believe) the future of cloud services and will be the area for growth in the coming years. Secondly, I’m an investor and board member in Appsecute so I’m naturally bullish about what they’re doing. That said, today’s announcement

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 […]

On VMware’s Cloud Foundry Core and PaaS Portability

By Ben Kepes on November 20, 2012

Recently VMware announced Core, a baseline test that assesses how compatible an application is to the Cloud Foundry open source release. In order to derive this compatibility rating, Core is based on a base set of components – specific versions of runtimes and components that are currently within the Core stable. Krish Subramanian has written […]

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 […]

What really is Open Source Software and what’s this community nonsense they ask…

By Adron Hall on September 21, 2012

Open Source Software (OSS), Why Some Fail At It OSS has won the war. It has been over for years now. Microsoft has ceded, Oracle, VMware and many others have stepped up and attempted to embrace the open source community. Sometimes they’ve been successful, sometimes they haven’t. They’re slowly changing their models to play well […]

End User Computing… Central Control or Distributed Safety? On Bromium’s Novel Play

By Ben Kepes on September 21, 2012

At VMworld back in August, one of the small number of announcements made revolved around “end user computing”, VMware’s term for all the different products that deliver solutions for actual business users. VMware announced a suite of solutions, built around a bunch of different projects (Projects Octopus, AppBlast, ThinApp, VMware

Thor Project Opens Up, Building the Cloud Foundry Ecosystem with the Community

By Adron Hall on September 17, 2012

The Iron Foundry Team are big advocates of open source software. We write code across all sorts of languages, just like many of the development shops out there do. Sometimes we’re heavy on the .NET, other times we’re all up in some Java, Ruby on Rails, spooling up a Node.js Application or something else. So …

Enterprise Hybrid Clouds and Reverse Cloud Washing

Enterprise Hybrid Clouds and Reverse Cloud Washing

By Guest Authors on September 14, 2012

The vast majority of enterprises that I talk to believe that the natural end state for cloud computing is a hybrid one. This means a combination of public/private/IaaS/PaaS/SaaS depending upon the needs of the business and the economics of the situation. Not surprisingly, this has caused legacy vendors to engage in large-scale cloud washing  in […]

Scale Out vs Scale Up – ProfitBricks Aims to Challenge the Current Thinking for IaaS

Scale Out vs Scale Up – ProfitBricks Aims to Challenge the Current Thinking for IaaS

By Ben Kepes on September 10, 2012

One thing that few people argue about in the move to the cloud is the accepted view that the best way to achieve scale is by throwing together lots of lightweight commodity machines with relatively low specifications, and stringing them together to achieve scale. It’s a compelling story and one
