I was a first time attendee at CES earlier this month, as part of a Cisco
contingent attending to meet with many Service Provider customers. For sure,
the main attraction for our customers – beyond the lights and magic of
Las Vegas – was seeing and learning about the Cisco Videoscape
architecture which enables Operators to create unified consumer Digital TV
and IP video experiences across a variety of screens. At CES, we introduced a
series of new cloud-enabled Videoscape innovations. We showed customers,
analysts and the industry how we are leading the evolution to an IP-enabled
TV everywhere environment. We underscored that with announcements of several
new customers.
It was also an opportunity to showcase some of our SP Mobility solutions
which were of great interest to our Service Provider customers, especially
those who won’t attend Mobile ... (more)
The principles behind Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) were established
long before the Internet became a force, and certainly before the appearance
of Cloud infrastructure.
Although many people consider SOA as well as the Cloud to be about ways of
building, deploying and managing applications, these technologies and
methodologies are also important in making "big data" useful and manageable.
Indeed, SOA and Cloud are increasingly becoming so intertwined as to cause
major confusion in the marketplace.
Let's be clear - there's SOA, and there's Cloud and there's the intersectio... (more)
I’ve been looking at the PaaS space for some time now. I spent some time
with the good folks at CloudBees (naturally), and have had many conversations
on CloudFoundry, Azure, and more with vendors, customers and other cloudy
folks.
Krishnan posted a very good article over on CloudAve, and at one level I
fully agree that PaaS will be come more of a data-centric (vs. code-centric)
animal over the next few years. To some degree that’s generally true of
all areas of IT – data, intelligence and action from data, etc. But there
is a lot more to this.
Most PaaS frameworks have very... (more)

I have done a lot of SharePoint custom development and I see Silverlight as
the answer to the horrible web part programming model Microsoft has made
available in SharePoint. I have yet to see anyone write SharePoint web parts
that aren't spaghetti code. Every major web part implementation I have seen
has been a big ball of mud, and I have seen a lot. I moved to Silverlight for
web parts as soon as I could. It is a great programming model.
Microsoft continues to play the top secret game with regards to Silverlight
so rumors of lack of browser support in the next year or two are bein... (more)
