Cloud Computing, Data Sharing

Opening the Corporation - NYTimes.com: " . . . . the information-sharing habits of open source software seem to be becoming a standard in other parts of business. Much the way the Linux operating system came to dominate computer servers, and the Apache web server became critical to the Internet, companies seem to be discovering that they can move faster and create more change by exposing things that once stayed secret to a larger population. Soon they may even share information among competitors...."

Google, Amazon, Microsoft, the Cloud Battle

Google, Amazon & Microsoft: Cloud Battle Just Changed - InformationWeek: "...Amazon's only real competition is Google on the technology front and Microsoft on the enterprise front. Microsoft doesn't have to figure out how to sell to the enterprise; it's been doing it for many years. Nor does Microsoft have to instantly be on an equal footing with Amazon or extract large profits from its Azure cloud offerings. On the contrary, Microsoft has such a strong enterprise systems offering in place that its cash flow will help fund its expansion into cloud services. Not many companies can say this; it takes capital -- lots of it -- to launch a global cloud service. Google and Microsoft are the only two companies that I can see (and IBM, maybe) that can make a commitment to provide cloud services and stick to it. The services don't stay the same. They, like the universe, constantly expand...." (read more at link above)

Larry Ellison Gets the Cloud

OracleVoice: Larry Ellison Doesn't Get the Cloud: The Dumbest Idea of 2013 - Forbes: "... Ellison also mentioned his idea of the Network Computer and his launch of a company by that name many years ago to tap into the nascent world of interconnected devices: “we just didn’t know it was the cloud,” he said. “So this idea that I didn’t get or don’t get cloud computing is . . . interesting.” As for “interesting,” there’s an old proverb that says, “May you live in interesting times.” And I think that for cloud-computing companies competing with Larry Ellison and Oracle, life is about to get much more interesting than they would have liked."

IBM Sales Slide, Uses Dutch Tax Haven to Boost Profits

IBM Uses Dutch Tax Haven to Boost Profits as Sales Slide - Bloomberg: "... IBM is increasing its bet on cloud services with a plan to invest $1.2 billion in its SoftLayer Technologies Inc. network-infrastructure business. The company is also spending $1 billion to build a new division around its Watson supercomputer, which can analyze large volumes of data and answer questions in conversational language. It’s becoming more difficult to find other areas where IBM can cut costs, making it hard to see how IBM can meet its earnings targets, Toni Sacconaghi, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein & Co., said in a note to investors. “The model is increasingly strained,” he said. “IBM risks being tethered to its road map to the detriment of its longer-term financial health."..."

Microsoft, the Cloud, Satya Nadella

The Gigaom Interview: A chat with Microsoft’s Satya Nadella from before he was the (likely) next CEO — Tech News and Analysis: "...Cloud is perhaps the most secular growth engine out there because it scales with a number of devices, it scales with a number of apps, so it scales with the users and their devices and their apps. So that means all of those things are calling back home, they need more compute, they need more storage, and so therefore, cloud is the one thing you can bet on, is that there is going to be more cloud. Just because you can imagine all of those other things exploring. Now then the question is, what is that nature of the cloud? That’s where I think, those three things that I mentioned: one is proliferation of SaaS applications and in particular … the question of what’s the most ubiquitously used SaaS application? And the race is on for us and the industry and I think that’s where I think it will be something around communications and collaborations. That’s why Office365 is super important to us. The second thing that I think is also going to be true is, who are the scale players who can actually satisfy that demand? ... There is Amazon, there’s us, and maybe Google if they are serious about the enterprise infrastructure business...."

Microsoft’s Satya Nadella on Google

Next Microsoft CEO (?) dishes on Google --

The Gigaom Interview: A chat with Microsoft’s Satya Nadella from before he was the (likely) next CEO — Tech News and Analysis:You don’t think they (Google) are serious? I don’t know. I don’t run into them. We compete with them, but on Office365 and Google apps, not as much when it comes to Azure. It’s really Amazon and Azure as far as I can tell when it comes to the public cloud. That would be the other thing that I see, who are the ones – and you can’t just say I’m going to enter this business tomorrow, it requires five, six billion dollars of capital expense every year — who have the muscle to be able to get into the public cloud business. If you’re already not in it at this scale, you’re probably never going to be in it. You have to wait for the next big inflection point. And then lastly, it is like, if you go with the notion that the world will still be hybrid, and there is a need for server products that mimic what you use in your own public cloud, that’s where VMWare and others will play and I think that’s still going to be very important."
