How Moore’s Law Put Apple in the Driver’s Seat and Cost Steve Ballmer His Job

How Moore’s Law Put Apple in the Driver’s Seat and Cost Steve Ballmer His Job

By Bob Warfield on January 24, 2014

With the Mac’s 30th anniversary, lots of folks are writing all sorts of articles about it, so I thought it only fitting to bring up my own thoughts on what happened and how Apple got control away from Microsoft.  It’s not a theory I have seen anywhere else, but it’s the one that makes the […]

Big Data is a Small Market Compared to Suburban Data

Big Data is a Small Market Compared to Suburban Data

By Bob Warfield on February 4, 2013

Big Data is all the rage, and seem to be one of the prime targets for new entrepreneurial ventures since VC-dom started to move from Consumer Internet to Enterprise recently.  Yet, I remain skeptical about Big Data for a variety of reasons.  As I’ve noted before, it seems to be a premature optimization for most companies.  That post […]

Single Tenant, Multitenant, Private and Public Clouds: Oh My!

By Bob Warfield on August 27, 2010

My head is starting to hurt with all the back and forth among my Enterprise Irregulars buddies about the relationships between the complex concepts of Multitenancy, Private, and Public Clouds.  A set of disjoint conversations and posts came together like the whirlpool in the bottom of a tub when it drains.  I was busy with […]

EMC Buys Greenplum – Big Data Realignment Continues

EMC Buys Greenplum – Big Data Realignment Continues

By Merv Adrian on July 6, 2010

EMC’s acquisition of Greenplum, announced today as a cash transaction, reaffirms the obvious: the Big Data tsunami upends conventional wisdom.
