Pressures growing around the issue of sustainability are already starting to bring forth a new form of fruit, where open source software is being used to develop new ways of controlling energy-hungry applications out in the real world.
No sooner has Dynatrace come up with a major new tool to cut through the potential for contentions between the growing range of tools available to `manage’ data than it sets out to extend its capabilities for internal team collaboration, by making it easier to build the context in which data exists.
As a cloud services provider, Nutanix felt it needed to find a way to help its customers confront some of these issues and came up with a new job role – the cloud economist – someone to work with customers and get them beyond just thinking about the tech. I tracked one down to find out more
A year ago I speculated on what would result from the coming together of Citrix and TIBCO. Now owned by the Cloud Software Group, which was formed to allow them to continue as independent brands, it seems a sensible time to see how right or wrong that speculation was.

Cohesity’s Mark Molyneux argues businesses need to ponder the question, 'Do we create more data, or do we keep the lights on?’. The time has come to confront data and ask, 'Is there another way?'
Without some way of divining how legacy and cloud-native apps will work together, and more importantly where the problems will lie and how the can be resolved, the idea that 'this will end in tears' is all too real.
A glut of research studies around the topic of sustainability exposes some alarming attitudes.
it is down to IT vendors and users to create, build and implement sustainable solutions, and the fact that all the current signs say that target such as achieving carbon neutrality are going to be missed is largely down to us not doing enough, urgently enough.
Two use case exemplars of Appian's Data Fabric pitch in practice.
Data lakes don't cut the mustard; step forward Data Fabrics.
At the moment, the wrong laws are being used for the wrong reasons to protect inappropriate attempts at 'ownership' of data. Discuss!
The launch of Grail by Dynatrace opens a new line of defense against the growing complexity of services – where each service comprises tens or even hundreds of different applications, and where multiple services interact to build business processes
Iceland has made another pitch at providing a sustainable, low carbon answer to the carbon footprint problem. Does that mean every data center in Europe should hop across the North Atlantic? Probably not, but this time it does suggest that a goodly slice of that business should seriously consider the possibility
