The "Consumable" Cloud, Red Hat Flavoured
,----[ Quote ]
| Scott Crenshaw, vice president and general
| manager of Red Hat's cloud business unit is
| trying hard to convince customers that the
| company can provide safe and managed cloud
| computing services. He asserts this on the
| back of the company's track record in
| making Linux a safe place to run mission-
| critical applications with Red Hat
| Enterprise Linux.

Red Hat fights Microsoft for cloud profits
,----[ Quote ]
| Red Hat got its start as Linux magazine
| publisher that tucked a Linux CD in the
| back, and then evolved into the largest
| commercial Linux distributor in the world.
| The company added middleware from JBoss and
| created other middleware, such as its
| Enterprise MRG messaging, grid and realtime
| Linux variant, and virtualization software
| for desktops and servers. And now it has to
| position itself as an alternative to
| Microsoft as the platform upon which
| customers can build x64-based clouds.

Drupal Founder Critical of SaaS and its Proprietary Nature
,----[ Quote ]
| Drupal's founder is calling for open
| source in the enterprise and in the cloud.
| This should be no surprise, coming from
| someone like Dries Buytaert. But it is
| still interesting, considering the source
| and the point he makes about the actual
| lack of open source in cloud computing.
|
| [...]
|
| Dries:
|
| "....they might allow you to export your
| data, but they usually don't allow you to
| export their underlying code. While a lot
| of these services might be built on Open
| Source components, they have a lot more in
| common with proprietary software vendors
| than Open Source projects or companies."
|
| It's in Dries view that this model can be
| disrupted by open source. For example, he
| says, the Drupal Gardens community
| improves the overall platform by
| contributing to it. The goal, as Dries
| says, is for people to export their Drupal
| Garden site in their entirety " the code,
| the theme and data -- and move the
| platform to any Drupal hosting
| environment."
