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.

NoSQL: Not Going Anywhere For a While?

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.
