High-Tech Product Design and Strategy

I love my job, and my job at Red Hat is to drive the product strategy, roadmap, and features of OpenShift , our Platform-as-a-Service ( PaaS ) offering; which is experiencing an amazing momentum. OpenShift is based on three pillars: OpenShift Origin (our open source project), OpenShift Online Service (Red Hat-operated public cloud platform), and our soon to be released OpenShift Enterprise PaaS (an installable PaaS for private data centers). OpenShift evolves at a fast pace thanks to an agile development methodology, as a result, time to time I provide an update on the direction that our roadmap is taking. Here is the current status of the OpenShift Roadmap: OpenShift Roadmap at OpenShift.com Stay up to date on this and related topics by following me on twitter: @Juan_Noceda

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 ...

Pagina/12 is one of the main newspapers in Argentina, it has a great supplement called Cultura Digital which covers the latest trends in technology. Mariano Blejman ( @Blejman ) interviewed me to talk about cloud, with focus on Platform as a Service (PaaS) and how OpenShift from Red Hat redefines the platform as a service space with a pretty unique value proposition. http://www.pagina12.com.ar/diario/cdigital/31-203583-2012-09-18.html

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...

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 ...

Muchos me dijeron que no es fácil encontrar este tipo de material sobre cloud computing y PaaS en español, por ello, se me ocurrió que podría ser de utilidad poder compartirlo. Muchas gracias a Abraham Otero de @JavaHispano por producir este podcast y a Sebastián Scarano @Develsas por su participación.

Me encanta Node.JS , Ruby me parece excelente, Ceylon promete mucho, Scala está viviendo un gran momento, Zend Server es un gran paso adelante para PHP , Play! 2 está madurando muy bien ( Inclusive dentro de PaaS ) y como ellos muchos otros lenguajes, frameworks y plataformas están generando un admirable nivel de innovación en el campo de la informática, en especial en el ámbito del software empresarial. Muchas de estas tecnologías ya tienen varios años de madurez pero son relativamente jóvenes comparadas con el punto de inicio de Java, que ya data de mucho más de una década. Paradogicamente, muchas de estas tecnologías están basadas en Java . Para una tecnología nueva es muy fácil evolucionar rápido, en cierta forma está todo por hacer, pero es realmente remarcable alcanzar ese mísmo nivel de avance con tecnologías ya establecidas como Java, o en particualr Java Enterprise Edition ( JEE ) la cuál goza de un liderazgo indiscutido en el ámbito empresarial en lo que vá del milen...
