The world of enterprise IT is seeing a growing trend when it comes to using open source products over proprietary alternatives. Proprietary products play an important role, of course, but they certainly aren't the only, or the best, option. At the end of May, Microsoft announced a coming public preview of Cloud Foundry, an open-source PaaS that runs on an Azure deployment. Ironically, Azure began as a platform for developing applications and running them in the cloud. The Cloud Foundry preview shows just how far Azure has come in the past seven years and how it has changed from its early PaaS days. The cloud is a curious proposition for some, for others it is an opportunity to evolve the way services, software and infrastructure are maintained, managed and deployed. It would appear that cloud computing has reached the tipping point, at least according to ProfitBricks' William Toll who believes 2014 has set the tone for a very cloudy future. Data has many uses, many of which have yet to be conceived.

According to a recent big data study, 79 percent of respondents agreed that companies that don't embrace big data might share the same fate as dinosaurs. There's a tension between licensing flexibility and complexity. While having a license that is customized to your particular business and needs is nice, the benefits of customization get lost when complexity starts to mount.
