Demystifying SaaS vs. Cloud
I was asked to participate on a panel a few months ago on the topic of SaaS versus the Cloud and explore the question of whether SaaS would ultimately be “subsumed” by the cloud. To be honest, I had to study up for this one because I didn’t even realize it was a question. What I found was this...
SaaS Solutions: they certainly can be interrelated but they are not interdependent. At a minimum, you don't need SaaS to deliver IaaS and you can stand up a SaaS application without using a public cloud service such as AWS. In the two and half years since I wrote this post, I think most people would agree that SaaS has not been "subsumed" by the cloud and in fact it is projected to dwarf both IaaS and PaaS in terms of market size.

Why Integration Appliances Won’t Scale for Cloud Computing
A number of bloggers this week made the observation that WebSphere’s acquisition of Cast Iron as a cloud play seemed like a contradiction (one example). It was an astute observation. Integration appliances by definition are not SaaS products. And they won’t scale for cloud computing. Here’s wh...
I saw this as well Paul. The vast, vast majority of Cast Iron's business and clients are on its appliance offering - whether deployed on-prem or hosted "virtually" in an ASP model. Cast Iron only announced a cloud offering (meaning multi-tenant) last month as part of OmniConnect. So unless I'm missing something, what WebSphere bought was a predominantly single-tenant (non-SaaS) appliance-based business.

Commentary on IBM WebSphere – Cast Iron Deal
IBM WebSphere announced today that it has acquired Cast Iron Systems. I am already getting calls and emails for my thoughts on this as folks are naturally curious what this might mean for Boomi so I thought a quick post might be a good idea. In short, we think this is great news for Boomi. First...
