IBM Cloud9






As more companies join @OpenStack and @CloudFoundry, what does the ideal for adoption look like?

Chris Ferris
adopting cloud, regardless of whether open or closed, requires cultural change in the enterprise - I see the support for @openstack and @cloudfoundry as smart enterprises making a good bet as they pave the way for adoption

Michael Fork
ideal adoption? kick out the proprietary "dinosaurs" and go all in on open cloud. Realistic? slow, staged rollout taking months to years with old and new running side by side for quite a period of time.

@mjfork You beat me to it. And the beauty of open clouds is that you can realistically do a slow, staged rollout

Michael Fork
@Christo4Ferris is dead on - cultural change is a must. Adopting cloud without a cultural change is often viewed as a failure of cloud, when it reality it was an organization failing.

Ultimately I think hybridization will increase, and we'll end up with a strong group of somewhat competing and somewhat cooperating open cloud technology platforms.

Kelly Capo
I'll go with hybridization

It boils down to ecosystem. The approach with the richest set of complementary capabilities will become predominant
