(Spanish) Video Interview on Cloud and PaaS for Entrepreneurs with OpenShift by Red Hat

EmprendedoresWeb.tv es un excelente videoblog sobre tendencias y novedades para start-ups en el campo de la alta tecnologia.

De manera similar pero mas amplia que en este reportaje grafico, en esta nota tuve la oportunidad de brindar mis perspectivas acerca de como la nube o cloud computing esta cambiando la forma de hacer y de empezar negocios online. Concretamente, estuve explicando como Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) o el Servicio de Plataforma se esta convirtiendo en una herramienta mas que necesaria para nuevos emprendimientos.

Para resumir mi vision a futuro del mercado de Cloud, creo que a partir de ahora, emprendimientos web que no esten basados en un servicio de PaaS como OpenShift de Red Hat no van a poder competir en tiempo y forma con start-ups que se muevan de manera agil explotando las ventajas de calidad y velocidad que ofrece el modelo PaaS. Alquilar y mantener servidores virtuales remotos y su software stack no es el negocio del desarrollador de aplicaciones y es demasiado caro para que una start-up se de el lujo de hacerlo.

Con un servicio cloud del tipo PaaS, el desarrollador se olvida de la plataforma, de los servidores y de su administracion para concentrarse en el codigo de su aplicacion. El stack, las bases de datos, y los servicios son provistos y mantenidos por el proveedor PaaS. Es decir, con Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) como Amazon EC2 nos olvidamos de comprar servidores, pero hay que seguir administrandolos; con PaaS, en cambio, nos olvidamos de los servidores, de la plataforma y de todo lo demas, solo concentramos nuestros recursos en lo importante: nuestra aplicacion.
Para saber mas acerca de como OpenShift va ir implementando parte de mi vision futura de la evolucion gradual de PaaS y el Cloud pueden visitar el Roadmap de OpenShift.com.

Lo mejor de todo es que en el caso de OpenShift el desarrollador usuario de la PaaS desarolla como siempre desde de su IDE o linea de comando en forma totalmente gratis. Solo comienza a pagar si desea que su aplicacion pueda escalar para responder al crecimiento del trafico de usuarios, y solo paga por hora por los picos de demanda, lo que lo hace extremadamente economico.

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

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: Watch this cool S

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)
