Who should decide how the Cloud?

Battle to determine the infrastructure cloud model raging, according to Jim Whitehurst, President and Chief Executive Officer of Red Hat (NYSE: RHT).

"We are at a crossroads," said Whitehurst capacity crowd of more than 200 people in the Open Source Business Conference Monday. "It is now time to choose the dominant model for the following sample of computing."

Battle lines were drawn between the major users of open source systems and software such as Facebook and Google (NASDAQ: George) on the one hand, and said vendors with large legacy systems from the owners of other Whitehurst.

"We see a lot of interest in cloud computing and open source providers of both prevailing today," said Max Schireson, 10gen President, TechNewsWorld.
Of fights, and why

Have so far been the cloud based on the principle of openness and cooperation, "simply because it has seen by suppliers," said Whitehurst. However, a growing number of suppliers and investment in construction and real products that can operate in the cloud, "he said.

"We will not allow the same group of sellers who dominated the last generation of the future of computing and to identify layers of the stack? Continued Whitehurst." Or are we switching to an open model where users participate, the contract between the suppliers and users is fundamentally different and changed? "

Said Bill Roth, Executive Vice President at LogLogic and pioneers in the movement, open source, and Legacy players will not be able to control the cloud infrastructure stack, TechNewsWorld.

"Suppliers are people on the latest technology, will set the platform next because of the fact also that they are old technology," said Kenneth Roth: "They are innovative dilemma - that 'they have to make rational decisions, and care for their current programs and care of existing customers, to create a new statute contrary with what they have done. "

The battle for dominance in the cloud infrastructure stack is likely to be long and difficult.

"Given the billions of dollars at stake here, and I expect a lively discussion," Charles King, principal analyst at Pund information technology, said TechNewsWorld.

"I think we see suppliers list, such as IBM (NYSE: IBM) and HP (NYSE: HPQ) is an attempt to control the cloud stack currently in the way of solutions to cloud computing on the basis of a package of property , "suggested King.

"I believe that the traditional suppliers of the systems to work very hard to argue for the benefits of their property in the cloud," and placed the king. "You have, for example, insisting that the IBM central cloud."

The King of these publishers to the public historical products, which consists of a dedicated customer.

Publishers anti-historical, and fighting.

For example, Microsoft: Nasdaq Stock Market announced reporter) Monday in its annual conference Monday that the mentally ill the next version of Microsoft System Center will be key to developing a unified strategy for cloud.

"With the new producers can build what the market needs," said Ruth LogLogic. "The sponsors of the old line will not be able to determine the Platform for Action, but at some point you will be able to sell him."
The new face of computing?

No one controls the cloud now because the end-users such as Google, Facebook and Amazon (Nasdaq: AMZN), and he said the building itself, "said Whitehurst.

"We went from users who are working on a layer of a commodity or a layer in the open software stack for the structure of all driven by the users," noted Whitehurst.

This fact will change the relationship between vendors and their customers, Whitehurst, Red Hat and expected.

"We can not prevent and suppliers and the road map for its customers," ready Whitehurst. "They need to work with clients."

Winners go ahead in cloud computing will be those who "build the best buildings of participation", and saw Whitehurst. "It is attracting large groups of users and help them solve their problems."
We can not just get along?

Whitehurst said, but infighting among the sponsors of the computing cloud may affect the adoption of open source.

Has developed many of the players in the clouds of space batteries infrastructure of their own, in spite of OpenStack, which is supported by major players such as Dell (Nasdaq: DELL), Rackspace, Citrix (Nasdaq: CTXS), Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO), the canonical agency NASA seems to be getting on the ground.

"I think there will be some decision points that will have customers decide -? Are clouds the public will be the next vertical stack" asked Whitehurst "Do we have the Amazon and the battery cell where Rackspace. Once you write the code, you're stuck forever in the code or it will be We have a battery open where you can write code and it works on every cell? "

He said Schireson 10gen Chances are, a few stacks will dominate because the users and suppliers on the basis of platforms, such as betting on major platforms. That he expected "one, two or even three," but no more.

Whitehurst said how many of the applications and the clouds change over the next 4-5 years will determine this issue.

"If we do not get the cooperation between these clouds, we chicane innovation and the very things that make open source even today a strong will evaporate," foretold Whitehurst.
