Enterprise Open Source

Some says Cloud computing is just a buzz and re-branding of some of the existing services. I too believe this to a certain extend. Regardless of what we think and discuss it seems that most have accepted that Cloud Computing is the next big thing and moving on creating their own clouds OR becoming a provider. Therefore I thought this might be an opportunity for us to look at why Open Source is going to be very important in this ‘Cloud Computing’ thing.

Amazon, Google, Salesforce and Yahoo be driving the force while IBM, Microsoft, HP and SAP joining the crowd. It seems that most of these players are looking at using Open Source components and methodologies in creating the clouds even Microsoft to a certain extend.

Why?

• Lower start-up costs with Open Source tool sets (e.g LINUX, Xen, Hadhoop, Apache etc are some of the tool sets used by providers today)
• Speed to market, by lowering the start-up costs anyone can join the cloud without having to invest heavily
• Opening up the client applications as complete Open Source products, e.g: Goolge Android)
• Allowing community to build what they want and use the cloud infrastructure, this extend what one company can do

We all know that Open Source was a disruptive development and business model. If the cloud computing to accelerate and innovate I believe Open Source needs to pay a key role in all areas of the Cloud.

After all ‘Clouds are FREE’ no one person owns them, and yes it is above us all.
