CIOs can avoid costly database price increases with open source
,----[ Quote ]
| A few weeks back I met with a senior
| architect of a large bank to discuss how
| open source might fit into the bank's
| strategy, particularly in the area of
| database where they had recently had some
| pretty unpleasant price increases levied by
| two of their incumbent suppliers during
| renegotiation of their corporate site
| licenses.

Who owns the customer in the cloud?
,----[ Quote ]
| The starting point for all of these
| solutions will be LAMP and open source
| applications. But each will focus initially
| on automation to simplify the effort, like
| RDS. Then they will deliver
| interoperability. Finally they will
| innovate in proprietary ways to deliver a
| better experience. And with each step they
| will further establish their ownership of
| the customer. This is why every major
| technology company, with the exception of
| Oracle, is assembling their own cloud
| solution, because they donât want someone
| else owning their customers.
