Nothing Stops the Box Bunny

Nothing Stops the Box Bunny

By Zoli Erdos on October 7, 2012

OK, so I ‘m abandoning my pictorial post schedule, as Box-mania just broke out, and I feel compelled to jump in.  But the skipped  NetSuite post is coming soon… I’ve been following Box longer than probably most observers and some of the old memories are worth sharing – from an admittedly subjective point of view. […]

Three Little Clouds and the Big Bad World

By Phil Wainewright on July 19, 2011

A few weeks back I seem to have mystified a few readers with my apparent volte-face on the topic of private cloud, when I pointed out that any public cloud provider has to run a private cloud to operate its own service or platform. To help explain my thinking, I thought it might be useful […]

Safe-deposit box SaaS

Safe-deposit box SaaS

By Phil Wainewright on July 6, 2011

I’m amazed at how often I still hear people recommending SaaS vendors should offer certain customers the option of dedicated, private instances of their application. Apart from a tiny minority of niche customer segments and applications, the economies of scale of running all customers on the same shared infrastructure (aka public cloud) should make the […]

Hey CloudFlare, What's Wrong with these Numbers?

Hey CloudFlare, What’s Wrong with these Numbers?

By Zoli Erdos on June 20, 2011

Lot of talk about site speed recently – no wonder, with Google factoring page load speed into their Page Rank algorithm it’s becoming critically important for websites, including blogs.  I was a bit surprised to read the list of the slowest loading websites on the TechMeme Leaderboard, lead by Scobleizer. Why surprised ?  Because just […]

Out of Left Field: Vmware Acquires Sliderocket

Out of Left Field: Vmware Acquires Sliderocket

By Zoli Erdos on April 26, 2011

Quick initial reaction: scratching head. Vmware recently shook up the Cloud Computing world with the launch of Cloud Foundry and I think most of us would have pegged them as an infrastructure company.  Then all of a sudden they buy Sliderocket, the great collaborative presentations company.  Why is this a big deal?  Probably not for […]

Private cloud discredited, part 2

Private cloud discredited, part 2

By Phil Wainewright on April 13, 2011

I wrote part 1 of this post last October, highlighting a Microsoft white paper that convincingly established the economic case for multi-tenant, public clouds over single-enterprise, private infrastructures. Part 2 would wait, I wrote then, for “the other shoe still waiting to drop … a complete rebuttal of all the arguments over security, reliability and […]

Business Model Change

Business Model Change

By Denis Pombriant on March 21, 2011

Today’s word is hybrid.  Actually, it’s been the word of the last decade and it is one of the hottest words of this decade so far, along with social and cloud.  You know what a hybrid is.  It’s often a mid-point in a change regime in which we know the point of departure but might […]

Internal Email on Why a  Software Company Migrates Away from MySQL

Internal Email on Why a Software Company Migrates Away from MySQL

By Zoli Erdos on November 4, 2010

Twitter is abuzz this morning with MySQL news: What these messages refer to is that Oracle dropped InnoDB from the free Classic Edition, it is now only available starting with the $2,000 Standard Edition.  A few days ago we heard support prices were increased – none of this should come as a surprise, the writing […]

India’s $65 Billion Infrastructure Mess

India’s $65 Billion Infrastructure Mess

By Jason Busch on September 27, 2010

For anyone who has spent time in India traveling a longer distance that it takes to get from an airport into a city or office complex, it quickly becomes abundantly clear that the country’s infrastructure is not up to the task of …
