The battle for the enterprise cloud continues to heat up as players on both sides of the competitive divide step up their efforts to secure dominance in the future of corporate computing. Last week saw a shotgun wedding of sorts between two technology titans, but it was the open-source camp that set the pace when Canonical Ltd. bundled the latest release of OpenStack into its wildly popular Linux flavor.
Introduced just a few days prior, the tenth “Juno” edition of the fast-growing cloud framework brings with it several major improvements, most notably the inclusion of Sahara, a component that adds integration with Hadoop and third party management tools to the the batch processing engine. Besides Juno’s enhancements, Ubuntu 14.10 – whose debut just so happens to fall on the tenth anniversary of the operating system’s own launch – also features deeper support for Docker – which allows users without root privileges to create containers – along with an updated infrastructure management console.
At the other end of the enterprise cloud tug-of-war, rivals IBM and Microsoft have struck a reluctant alliance that will put both giants in a better position to compete against common rival Amazon Web Services. Under the partnership, the two companies giant will make several of their respective core solutions available on one another’s public clouds and IBM will most notably integrate the popular .NET framework into its Bluemix platform-as-a-service stack.
