Interestingly though, Dirk Hohndel , Chief Linux and Open Source Technologist at Intel, in the most entertaining of the array of morning keynotes at the 2013 Red Hat Summit made some pretty compelling arguments about why Intel should be taken more seriously as a player in the open-source software development world... |

As a software architect attending a developer conference like the 2013 Red Hat Summit, one of the least interesting vendors on the docket has to be Intel. They are always there, set up with a big booth in the exhibitors pavilion at the Oracle OpenWorld and IBM Innovate conferences, and while it all seems interesting to the low-level hardware guys, chips and processors simply aren’t the bailiwick of coders. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that processors aren’t important to the wellbeing of developers, but they’re important in the same way that air is important for sustaining life – things fall apart if it disappears, but so long as it’s there, it’s boring as hell.

“Companies today live or die based on how well they innovate and deliver amazing digital services,” said Victoria Livschitz, president and CEO of Qubell. “For most enterprises, making even minor alterations to their complex online applications is painfully slow. How can they compete with Amazon.com, Google or Facebook – companies that innovate continuously and roll out dozens of small changes and improvements every day – without matching the vast automation investments already made by these ecommerce giants? Qubell levels the playing field. Building on top of cloud technology and agile development, we enable all online enterprises to transform how they think about innovation, get serious about reducing cycle times, and deliver new features and services almost as fast as they can conceive them.” |

Qubell, an innovator in application deployment and configuration management, emerged from stealth mode today and launched the Qubell™ Adaptive PaaS (platform-as-a-service), the first platform designed to enable enterprises to implement changes to their complex online services rapidly and without risking the stability of their system. With the Qubell platform, enterprises can put new content and features into customers’ hands continuously, thereby gaining the business agility needed for success in today’s competitive markets. (See related press release: “Kohl’s Completes Initial Implementation of the Qubell Adaptive PaaS, Which Helps Speed Delivery of its Ecommerce Features and Services.”)

By "rogue IT spend," think of enterprise business units taking their computing needs to a fresh account at Amazon Web Services (AWS). The constant migration of enterprise computing from inside the data center, where VMware dominates, to the outside is what worries VMware these days. Countering AWS's appeal has been a target since February... |

VMware has implemented Cloud Credits for its customers to purchase hybrid cloud services from VMware or a VMware partner.

Under a Bluelock service launched in early May, virtualized copies of first-tier production systems were created and stored in a Bluelock data center, with a constant data feed from production systems linked to the same data center. In the event of a disaster, the sleeping virtual machines would be woken up and data fed into them reflecting the last known point of data integrity... |

eMeter is a 200-employee unit of Siemens that produces software for electric, natural gas and water utility management systems.

With part of its development in India and part in Redwood City, Calif., eMeter turned to Bluelock cloud data centers in Indianapolis and Las Vegas to store the recovery copies of its systems.
Grazed from Network World. Author: Brandon Butler. As if GE doesn’t already have enough on its plate, the company entered the cloud computing marketing this week, announcing plans to provide cloud-based analytics services for its industrial customers. The move reinforces a couple of major themes across the industry, including a growing trend by both providers and end users to capture and actually get some value from the massive amount of data generated by their companies, machines and other sources. It also shows how providers are increasingly offering services tailored specifically for certain vertical markets, in this case industry and manufacturing. And finally, in announcing the product in conjunction with partners Amazon Web Services and new analytics firm Pivotal, GE is showing how it can use technologies from others and package them as a service. Welcome to the world of cloud computing... |
