Linux, Cloud, Open Source, Virtualiztion, PaaS, Java, BigData, Mobile, and more in a single event: Red Hat Summit and JBoss World 2012

What is the only high-tech event in the industry that can concentrate, in a charming city like Boston, all the technologies and thought leaders that are driving software innovation today? The answer is Red Hat Summit and JBoss World 2012 on June 27th to 29th, let me prove why...

This is not just another software vendor event, in which you only see the vendor's product stack from the angle that they want, as its name implies, Summit 2012 is a multi-perspective open event, in which the open source communities, an ecosystem of Red Hat partners, and independent parties get together in aparticipative event hosted by Red Hat to talk and share experiences as they drive forward the next fronteer in information technology and software development.

Let me prove you through the 7 points below why you get the best of the software industry in a single event, and show you how Red Hat is powering many more critical areas than you may think in today's tech world:

1) Linux is by far the most important operating system today, is powering everything, from mobile, to tablets, to servers, to cloud. Red Hat is the #1 contributor to the Linux kernel, the #1
Enterprise-grade Linux, and the #1 commercial open source company ever.

2) The Java Virtual Machines (either coding with the Java Language, with JRuby, Ceylon, Scala, or others) are the most deployed technology in enterprise software space.
The products, services, and open source projects around JVM-based technologies represent the larger software ecosystem in the industry, and drive the most innovative projects in the open source space; and JBoss is the leading full JEE open source application server, the first one implementing EE6 full profile.

3) SOA, EDA, ESB, and BRMS are the way of doing middleware these days, and open source projects like SwitchYard, Drools, JBoss ESB, and commercial products in the JBoss Enterprise Middleware portfolio  represent the most influencing technologies in the this space.

4) Cloud Computing, despite being the queen of the tech buzz these days, it is effectively changing the way we thinking about software infrastructure, distribution, ownership, economics, and end user consumption. If you look closely, at Summit you have in a single place the thought leaders behind the most exciting and popular IaaS and PaaS technologies in the cloud space: OpenStack, OpenShift Origin, DeltaCloud, Katello, CloudForms, and manny others.

5) Virtualization exploded from being a single-vendor monopoly to an open source standard, KVM has emerged and it was immediately described byt the market analist and tech experts as the virtualization technology with the best long term strategy and most promising market potential. Red Hat is a strong contributor to the KVM open source community and a market disruptor with its commercial virtualization product: Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization.

6) Big Data is the new trend on structured storage, but you cannot enjoy the benefits of a NoSQL data store if you do not have a solid unstructured data infrastructure underneath. For these reason Red Hat is embracing together key complementary technologies like Gluster FS via Red Hat Enterprise Storage, Infinispan via JBoss Data Grid, Condor via Red Hat Enterprise MRG Grid, and MongoDB via OpenShift.

7) Mobile and Web, Do you think on JBoss when it comes to Mobile App Development? most likely you don't, but there is already a thriving community that is changing that, JBoss Developer Studio integrates with open source projects like JBoss Tools, AeroGear, Node.JS, and POH5 in OpenShift to deliver a developer experience that combines HTML5, CSS, JQuery, Mobile, Web, CDI, EE, Middleware, and Cloud.

Isn't exciting?!

Dear Tech Entrepreneur! (startup or corporate): Embrace Cloud to Stay Competitive!

As entrepreneur (startup or corporate), you need to deal with so many things, to the point that it is easy to get overwhelmed and loose focus. Many of those things that consume your attention are central to your project while others are critical but at the same time secondary compared to the core of your business. Let's see how Cloud Computing can help on outsourcing the load of what is peripheral and how it can empower what is core to your idea, project, or business. Go ahead and take advantage of the Internet Age: One of the positive side effects of the current times is the pollution of digital services. You have at your disposal plenty of service providers which are happy to take those "secondary" concerns of yours and do them for you for a relatively modest fee.  Some of these services range from addressing new concerns that were born in the digital age like email address validation and search engine optimization to the "webificated" versions of tr

Cloud, SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS Adoption Trends and Forecast

At this point it is clear that the term "Cloud" transcended the buzz word and is already the label of an attractive $100B+ market. Cloud Computing represents the top enterprise IT spending in 2015, even beyond other hot growing technologies like Mobile and IoT. Not just that, budgets for Cloud offerings may even double in 2016. And if we talk about the other two hot tech trends, it is not a surprise that about three quarters of the IoT and Mobile offerings have also a Cloud component. Let me share with you my own direct experiences and my interpretation of some key Cloud Computing statistics over the last few years as well as the trends for the next two or three. In every case contrasting the numbers with qualitative data points and insights. Let's then dissect the Cloud universe in the typical 3 tiers, starting from the bottom... Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) In 3 years IaaS will represent: ~35% of cloud use cases (compared with a ~65% of PaaS + SaaS)
