Being able to receive and put data where it needs to be, and analyze it where it's most convenient, is a key part of a hybrid cloud. Different parts of the hybrid cloud have different capabilities and restrictions. Must understand.

We can financing IBM Cloud!

Open technologies give consumers the freedom of choice, and the freedom to improve those technologies themselves.

@jghassell Arguably, many w/ closed systems would argue they can do this too. How does open help?

IBM’s hybrid vision is based on open technology for interoperability, ease of integration and diverse tooling options - Choice with Flexibility

Open usually means costs will be driven down, that is attractive for B2B or B2B2C, #moneytalks

For example, @OpenStack is the foundation of IBM’s hybrid cloud fabric, and our PaaS offering @IBMBluemix is based on @CloudFoundry.

It's about deploying solutions today therefore connecting data + mobile + analytics leveraging the cloud is the key and connecting those dots with OPEN API's increases speed and scale!

open technology in software like open source is obvious but open tech in data is not so obvious if data and software are open then hybrid will be the bridge between public and private clouds

If you think about the nature of hybrid cloud—an on-prem and off-prem solution—if those infrastructures aren’t both open, it’s going to be much harder to integrate.

This tech gives organizations the ability to share, access, and process data across a variety of contexts, devices and infrastructures - and rapidly ingest and translate it into insights they can use to more rapidly innovate and operate

I think there's two questions conflated into one. One is of open technology adoption by companies and the other is about hybrid cloud adoption by companies. But they are not correlated.

Almost impossible to find a proprietary product that is all not full of open source. Hard to out innovate the open bits of plumbing.

open interfaces are a key enabler of portability across platforms

@tmmoore_1 what about open data?

@tcrawford Open lets you use the best tool for the job, period. That might be a closed system component, or it may very well be something else. You also have a path to migrate and change as your needs mature or progress.

As businesses become #digital #mobilefirst #transformation ; #hybrid cloud technology allows for faster deployment and still maintain control

because open technology enables, empowers and accelerates hybrid computing - think about what Apache HTTP did for web application server and e-business.

@majorhayden I agree - open technologies offer the freedom and flexibility to build exactly the path needed to move from existing state to transformed state - big bang or in a phased implementation

Oh ... and I think we can finance! @kocolosk we love @ibmcloudant

the core advantages of open and cloud still apply here - hopefully, will see continued innovation, but the economics of open source still worry me sometimes. when done right, they are more secure and provide more functionality for our need

this driving of #hybridcloud may not be direct impact of open data tech, but they are one piece of the entire stack

As more operations become virtualized, globalized, decentralized and BYOD, they'll be key to succeeding in the new era of smart, where analytics and data drive increasing succeed and productivity gains

How are open solutions better/ worse than closed systems? It has to be more than "choice".

Orchestrating the software and data will be the #devops goal in hybrid; open is best for being agile and flexible

@angelluisdiaz IBM can finance ... as well as buy back IT assets that are displaced as part of the transformation

@furrier Open Data has the same effect of democratization and acceleration

@lindademmler I'm sorry...but what does IBM finance have to do this this conversation? Seems a bit out of place.

open technologies allow services to differentiate on QoS and superior management, and provide application builders independence

@tcrawford Many clients hesitate on capitalizing on the available technologies because they don't have the capital budgets to fund the new initiatives...financing can help accelerate adoption

I'm trying to figure out what does open data services means. Lots of closed data across platforms

@furrier agreed. we need to define what does open data service means.

more, not less :) @composeio brings a whole bevy of new open data services to developers

The concept of 'data services' and tools are just starting to emerge. Collaboration is key to their development.

Early days lots happening in terms of tools and collabos, just making inroads into communications, health, security contexts

IBM just rolled out 25 new services to its Cloud Data Services portfolio, based on open technology, that will allow developers to build/deploy/manage their applications.

I think ability to consume data from a variety of platforms &clouds securely = key

@MassHaste @furrier fair, I read it as "open source data service"

Many of the existing, closed tools were based on enterprise data warehouses. So many aspects of that statement have changed.

Essentially, open data services are allowing us to, as @BobbieCochrane writes, make data “a first-class citizen.” http://ibm.co/1nqADH...

we are just in the early days, so many still don't even understand it unfortunately. The truth is, it needs a good PR campaign to explain it simply to more people. It needs more concrete examples of how powerful it is for everyone.

certainly, we're heading to where data is free, but services that act on these data may not be.

Agreed Open Data and Open Source can have different definitions depending if you are talking with Developers or Vendors

We are still learning how to monetize data. In the meantime, open collaboration helps guide our discussion.

@IBMInterConnect, I am personally exited to see the the announcement of IBM Cloud Data Services officially Open for Data with new portfolio of tools which will rule the next generation of activities.

@stephatkins Yup! Open Data Cloud Services via open source and open APIs is != open data.

@angelluisdiaz There is quite a bit of confusion between 'open data' and 'open source'. And how they are/ aren't related.

@tcrawford We are learning not only how to monetize the data but how to afford the transformation from current investments to those we need to be making to take advantage of the new class of services

Data isn't valuable on its own -- we add value by finding correlations and making change.

With the proliferation of sensors, and the future of Contextualized Augmented Reality, there is yet another exponential explosion of data on the short term horizon... so much data, but its real value is only available if it is unlocked

Curious to see what happens as we begin to see more inroads into politics, government, and sharing between data scientists - potential applications are endless

customers care more about the value provided with data than whether its open source or not. The attitude towards how open they are with their data also has changed

Open For Data is so much more than just a set of data services, it is the integration of those services into a platform
