Intelligent PlatformsIterating beyond today’s PaaS

Great Computing Convergence

Cloud Computing

PaaS v1.0

Multi-Language, Multi-Cloud, etc. BUT

Built for scale in terms of users

Not suitable for the Big Data World

Examples: Heroku, Engine Yard, CloudFoundry, Cumulogic, OpenShift, CloudBees, etc.

PaaS v1.0

Social

Understanding Social

Social is not just relationships and conversation

Social is valuable data

Mobile

Understanding Mobile

Mobile is not just an interfaceMobile is also a sensor or source of data

Big Data

If Ballmer Dances Today

Data, Data, Data, Data, Data

Data, Data, Data, Data, Data

Data Markets

Today

Tomorrow

ComputingConvergence

How do we go there?

Application Consumption Model

No more monolithic applications

Web 2.0, Cloud and BYOD Changing Behavior

Legacy Apps exist but going away

SOA done right?

Today’s App = Composition of Services

Not Exactly, But

Well, we still haven’t reached the stage of service consumption

But we consume features/functionality on multiple apps, multiple devices, etc

Service consumption is the next logical step

Re-Imagine Tomorrow’s App

What if the app could take advantage of

the change in consumption model?

all pervasive cloud platforms?

wealth of Big Data?

Data Service

Thatz a realistic possibilityHowever

Today’s Intelligent Apps

Such apps exist today in consumer sector

Takes advantage of big data and predictive analytics

But it is just a tip of the iceberg

Enterprises can take advantage of this in a big way

Some Examples

NetflixAmazonTraditional US retailers like Target, Walmart and others

Etc.

Developing Intelligent Apps

How?

Intelligent Platforms

Characteristics of next-gen platforms:

Big Data at the core with a data as a service component

Mobile and Social integrated

Polyglot Platforms

Intelligent Platforms

Potential Players

PaaS v1.0 Vendors

Data Markets

Data as a Service Vendors

DIY

In The Right Direction

Flow.Net

(Tibco’s Cloud Cousin)

In The Right Direction

CloudSoft’s Brooklyn Project

In The Right Direction

Pervasive Software’s Data Rush and More

Need a Complete Rethink

Conclusion

Still in early stagesAny data centric organization should be thinking about it

I really want to hear from practitioners in this room on this
