"Service Component Architecture (SCA) is a set of specifications which describe a model for building applications and systems using a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). SCA extends and complements prior approaches to implementing services, and SCA builds on open standards such as Web services. SCA is based on the idea that business function is provided as a series of services, which are assembled together to create solutions that serve a particular business need. These composite applications can contain both new services created specifically for the application and also business function from existing systems and applications, reused as part of the composition. SCA provides a model both for the composition of services and for the creation of service components, including the reuse of existing application function within SCA compositions. SCA aims to encompass a wide range of technologies for service components and for the access methods which are used to connect them. For components, this includes not only different programming languages, but also frameworks and environments commonly used with those languages. For access methods, SCA compositions allow for the use of various communication and service access technologies that are in common use, including, for example, Web services, messaging systems and Remote Procedure Call (RPC)."

"The Cloudera Development Kit, or CDK for short, is a set of libraries, tools, examples, and documentation focused on making it easier to build systems on top of the Hadoop ecosystem. The goals of the CDK are: Codify expert patterns and practices for building data-oriented systems and applications. Let developers focus on business logic, not plumbing or infrastructure. Provide smart defaults for platform choices. Support piecemeal adoption via loosely-coupled modules."

SoftNAS™ is business-class network attached storage (NAS) delivered as software as a service.  The NAS software virtual appliance runs within your cloud computing environment (e.g., Amazon EC2) or local virtual server environment (e.g., VMware vSphere) and manages the available raw disk storage, providing enterprise-grade storage capabilities. SoftNAS leverages a number of open source technologies, including ZFS on Linux.  ZFS on Linux is a port of the popular ZFS filesystem originally produced by Sun Microsystems and released with OpenSolaris.  SoftNAS builds on the robust, solid foundation of ZFS and its powerful, extensible Linux foundation.

This tutorial explains which business models and applications benefit most from cloud, what to look for in a cloud provider, and how the traditional enterprise computing marketplace is being disrupted.

"Amazon EC2 Container Service (ECS) is a highly scalable, high performance container management service that supports Docker containers and allows you to easily run applications on a managed cluster of Amazon EC2 instances. Amazon ECS eliminates the need for you to install, operate, and scale your own cluster management infrastructure. With simple API calls, you can launch and stop container-enabled applications, query the complete state of your cluster, and access many familiar features like security groups, Elastic Load Balancing, EBS volumes, and IAM roles. You can use Amazon ECS to schedule the placement of containers across your cluster based on your resource needs and availability requirements. You can also integrate your own scheduler or third-party schedulers to meet business or application specific requirements."

"Go kit is a distributed programming toolkit for microservices in the modern enterprise. We want to make Go a viable choice for application (business-logic) software in large organizations."

"In this talk you will learn about a modern way of designing applications that's very different from the traditional approach of building monolithic applications that persist mutable domain objects in a relational database.We will talk about the microservice architecture, it's benefits and drawbacks and how Spring Boot can help. You will learn about implementing business logic using functional, immutable domain models written in Scala. We will describe event sourcing and how it's an extremely useful persistence mechanism for persisting functional domain objects in a microservices architecture."

"This is the first in a series of posts about adding containers to our server farm to make it easier to scale, manage, and keep pace with our business."

"Podio is an online work platform with a new take on how everyday work gets done. Podio gives people more power than ever before to manage their work in their own way and is trusted by thousands of teams, companies and organizations worldwide. Podio users create workspaces to collaborate with specific groups of people, use an Employee Network for company-wide communication across departments and locations, and get their work done using Podio Apps. Anyone can build their own Podio Apps without any technical skills, and can choose from hundreds of readily available, free apps in Podio's App Market. These apps add structure to any business process or project and are connected to social, collaborative activity streams used for commenting and discussion."

"In 2010 we led the seed round for Docker (formerly known as dotCloud) for one simple reason: devops means that the way applications are packaged, deployed, and run is fundamentally changing (though Docker's business model has evolved since its early days as a PaaS vendor, the fundamental premise is the same).  Rather than requiring custom configurations and painstaking management, Docker "containerizes" applications components such that every container is lightweight and behaves consistently.  Applications and their underlying components can be programmatically deployed, managed and moved on ever-changing cloud infrastructure without a hint of operating system or hardware configuration.  In a pre-Docker world, companies with tremendous and evolving application demands looked to virtualization as a way of abstracting their infrastructure, but paid a tax in dollars and performance for doing so. In the future we think of Docker will take the mantle as the VMware of the devops world, with containers as the ultimate devops platform."

"Hipache (pronounce hɪ'pætʃɪ) is a distributed proxy designed to route high volumes of http and websocket traffic to unusually large numbers of virtual hosts, in a highly dynamic topology where backends are added and removed several times per second. It is particularly well-suited for PaaS (platform-as-a-service) and other environments that are both business-critical and multi-tenant."

"The Hyperledger Project is a collaborative effort created to advance blockchain technology by identifying and addressing important features for a cross-industry open standard for distributed ledgers that can transform the way business transactions are conducted globally."

Mucho por decir no hay.... "Adobe also suggested that Web application developers in the future would be using HTML5 rather than Flash."

Otro approach mas generador de oportunidades para la empresa podría haber sido sumar al SDK un compilador que produzca html5 en lugar de flash. Y sin duda mucho mejor recibido por todos sus clientes actuales y por todos los que vienen invirtiendo en flex!

Excelente artículo. Habría que distribuirlo por unas cuantas oficinas.
