Get Ready For Deploycon 2013

Krishnan Subramanian · March 7, 2013 · Leave a Comment

Deploycon LogoLast year we ran Deploycon for the first time and it was a great success. For the first time in the industry, we had a good collection of vendors, pundits and enterprise buyers getting together in a room and discuss Platform as a Service seriously. Before that, I literally begged various conferences to run an exclusive track on PaaS but no one cared about my request. If no one is ready to try something, I really want to try that and the end result was Rishidot Research running Deploycon solely focussed on PaaS. Deploycon 2012 brought to focus that enterprises are not just interested in PaaS but they are actually testing it out for their mission critical apps.

The conference was well received for the content which, in turn, added tremendous pressure on us to do it right again. This year we are going to offer high quality content again for the conference attendees and I hope the planned agenda speaks about what every attendee can expect. I am pretty confident that they will not go out disappointed and our moderators are going to make sure that every single session offers only valuable content and no marketing pitches. We believe that vendors gain maximum value by being thought leaders than marketers and it is going to reflect in our sessions at Deploycon 2013.

This year we have partnered with Cloud Connect, a premier conference organized by UBM Tech around the world,  and it will be held at Santa Clara Convention Center on April 2nd 2013. Our registration form is live on Deploycon website now. Deploycon attendees will get great discounts on the full Cloud Connect conference pass. Also, if you are a developer, please get in touch with us. We can offer 50% discount on the Deploycon conference pass (not the Cloud Connect pass). We were the first to tell the world that developers are the face of modern IT before many other analyst firm even woke up to that fact. We were the first to run a conference focussed on PaaS. We want to salute the developers who are going to unleash a service centric world which will change business and personal lives in ways that we can’t even imagine today. As a result, we want to go out of the way to make it easy for developers to attend the conference. Get in touch with us and we will work with you to get you to Deploycon on April 2nd.

Looking forward to see you all at Deploycon 2013.

PaaS Landscape Report: Inviting PaaS Vendors

Krishnan Subramanian · March 1, 2013 · Leave a Comment

Rishidot Research is planning to release a research report on PaaS Landscape on April 2nd 2013. We are already in the process of preparing this report. If you are a PaaS vendor and have never briefed me in the past, please use the link to set up a briefing before March 15th 2013. If you are a vendor who had briefed me in the past but have any important updates to share, please contact me through this form. Please explain why it is important to brief me and I will get in touch with you as soon as possible. Please note that we will accept briefings calls from only those vendors who fall into the PaaS segment.

Open Conversations: Open Cloud At Parallels Summit

Krishnan Subramanian · January 31, 2013 · Leave a Comment

After a break, our Open Conversations panels are back. We are going to host this year’s first Open Conversation at the Parallels Summit in Las Vegas on February 5th 2013.

The idea of the open cloud has different meanings. There are open infrastructure groups that are working toward federating clouds at the infrastructure level. These are groups such as OpenStack and Cloudstack, two of the most well-known efforts to help companies build their own clouds.

And then there are the hosting providers who serve the small business. Small businesses are not as much interested in building out their own clouds. But more so they want to use tools that they can use in a SaaS environment with as little hassle as possible.

On this coming Tuesday at 1:30 PM PST Alex Williams (TechCrunch) will co-host a Google Hangout with Krishnan Subramanian, founder of Rishidot Research at the Parallels Summit in Las Vegas to discuss why open standards is needed to serve small businesses to purchase services through a cloud marketplaces.

Some of the questions we expect to discuss:

Why are cloud marketplaces an issue particular to small businesses? Why not open-source the effort? What would make this better than the Amazon marketplace? Are there any other federated cloud marketplaces available?

Our discussion will also cover the differences between open cloud efforts and why there are so many open-source cloud efforts underway.

The hosts will be joined by executives from Parallels Software, Savvis Direct, McAfee and 1&1, a hosting service.

Here is the Google+ link to the event: https://plus.google.com/events/cnh63qpkv8j6nd2masp42g8pqkc

The hangout can be viewed live at Rishidot Research Youtube Channel. Please join us next week.

Anuta Networks Unveils its nCloudX Platform

lmacvittie · January 22, 2013 · Leave a Comment

Anuta Networks unveils a solution to more effectively manage cloud and SDN-enabled networks

anuta Anuta Networks, a Silicon Valley-based self-proclaimed "network services virtualization" startup, is entering the market with its inaugural offering, the Anuta nCloudX Platform.

The solution essentially provides network service abstraction and orchestration for cloud service providers and large enterprises engaged in the implementation of private clouds.

Anuta says of its initial offering:

The breakthrough Anuta Networks nCloudX platform simplifies and automates the complete lifecycle of network services in complex, heterogeneous networks across multi-vendor, multi-device, multi-protocol, and multi-hypervisor offerings for physical and virtual devices in both private cloud and public cloud deployments. The solution reduces network services delivery time from weeks to a few hours, building efficient software automation on top of a combination of both the existing hardware-controlled networks and the new generation of SDN technologies.

One of the concerns with regard to potential SDN adoption is, of course, the potential requirement to overhaul the entire network. Many SDN solutions today are highly disruptive, which may result in a more than tepid welcome in established data centers.

Solutions such as Anuta’s nCloudX Platform, however, aim to alleviate the pain-points associated with managing data centers comprised of multiple technologies and platforms by abstracting services from legacy and programmable network devices. The platform then provides integration points with Cloud Management Platforms and SDN controllers to enable implementation of more comprehensive cloud and data center orchestration flows.

Anuta’s nCloudX Platform follows the popular "class of provisioning" and "cataloging" schemes prevalent in Cloud Management Platform offerings and adds drag-and-drop topological design capabilities to assist in designing flexible, virtual networks from top to bottom. Its integration with OpenStack takes the form of a Quantum plug-in, essentially taking over the duties of multiple Quantum plug-ins for legacy and programmable devices. Given the pace at which support for many network devices in Quantum is occurring, alternative methods of integration may provide early adopters with more complete options for implementation.

Its ability to integrate with SDN controllers from Nicira (VMware) and Big Switch Networks enable organizations to pursue a transitory, hybrid strategy with respect to SDN, minimizing potential disruption and providing a clear migration path toward virtualized networks. Its cataloging and design services enable rapid on-boarding of new tenants and a simpler means of designing what are otherwise complex, virtualized networks.

While much of Anuta Networks’ focus lies on cloud, its ability to virtualize network services is likely to provide value to organizations seeking to automate its network provisioning and management systems, regardless of their adoption of cloud or SDN-related technologies.
