Assessing Broadcom VMware Eight Months OnAssessing Broadcom VMware Eight Months On

A few days ago David Vellante posted a summary in LinkedIn about a Breaking Analysis from theCUBE Research about the state of things after the Broadcom acquisition.

👉🏻 In addition to the ideas shared on that piece of work, I also see the convergence of three trends as major drivers for Workload Modernization (Hybrid Multicloud adoption):

1. VMware “exits”.
2. The enforcement of EU-DORA regulations as an accelerator.
3. The combined capabilities of IaaS and PaaS under a single Control Plane powered by GenAI (i.e.…

Enterprises seek deeper AI value beyond chatEnterprises seek deeper AI value beyond chat

A few days ago David Vellante posted a summary in LinkedIn about a Breaking Analysis from theCUBE Research about the state of GenAI in the Enterprise.

It is a very interesting reading with lots of data points and reflections about the market behavior.

🎯 Data Points I found interesting

  1. Enterprise use cases are ChatGPT-like (not surprised).
  2. AI-monetization doesn't follow the hype (not surprised).
  3. Complex Use Cases, Longer ROIs and Paybacks, but higher upsides (not surprised)
  4. Investments in GPUs <10M will wait 1 year to be fulfilled.

A crisis of spending and cloud-based GenAI

A crisis of spending and cloud-based GenAIA crisis of spending and cloud-based generative AI

A few days ago, David Linthicum published a summary on LinkedIn about an article he wrote on InfoWorld about this topic.

However, besides the points made in the article, I believe that some strategic thinking can also help here. There is always something else after the hype: they call it the “Trough of Disillusionment”. Knowing this raises questions:

  1. can we be smarter now to spend less time “there”?
  2. what can we do now to ensure that trust between stakeholders remains “healthy” when those “bad times” come?

Brief notes about GenAI Orchestration

Brief notes about GenAI OrchestrationBrief notes about GenAI Orchestration

A few days ago, my colleague Vishal Anand, shared in LinkedIn an initial draft of an LLM Orchestration Framework to get our feedback.

Beyond technical discussions about the Framework itself, it is obvious that GenAI Orchestration has a bright future based on the initial estimates of the AI market. However, I would also remind that this is a key Architectural Capability that can also be embedded in applications. In this regard:

  1. AI-Native Apps will have it embedded. AI Agents, and the “Promt Is Code” concept will be wild here.

Spotting influencers and VIPs in LinkedIn with PowerShell – Part 2: “The Dark Side”

Spotting influencers and VIPs in LinkedIn with PowerShell – Part 2: “The Dark Side”Spotting influencers and VIPs in LinkedIn with PowerShell — Part 2: “The Dark Side”

What we have seen on our previous post may seem interesting and powerful. Essentially, what we are doing is opening the door to creating local datasets with personally identifiable information coming from our Social Networks. That's a pretty big deal. Therefore, there are a couple of things that we need to understand before going forward.

Privacy, Law and Ethics

Usually, on Digital Media, whenever you can access some information is because you have rights and permissions to do so. However, I would like you to consider the difference between “can” and “should”.…

Watch out! Twitter is no longer a trusted Social Media Hub

Watch out! Twitter is no longer a trusted Social Media Hub

That Twitter wants to exercise more control over their user’s experience and, hence, its whole ecosystem, it is not new. Until now, Twitter’s moves in this direction haven’t had major and practical impact on how we were used to consume the service. For example:

Ok, I admit that this second one, represents a threat for some users and developers in the medium term.…

Social Media Interconnection Map for 2012

Social Media Interconnection Map for 2012

Last year I started looking at ways to handle the amount of Social Media presence in a reasonable way. Then, I came up with a Social Media Interconnection Map and a set of design rules, principles and guidelines that we could take into account shall we wanted to build our own.

Unfortunately, everything moves insanely fast in the technology space and so many things have changed since that first proposal. In fact, I have had to adapt my original design several times over the past months due to a number of reasons:

  1. new players have emerged or exploded: Google+, Pinterest, Tumblr, Posterous, Instagram, SlideShare, LinksAlpha, ifttt, dlvr.it

Education vs. Accreditation

Published March 24, 2012 by Carlos Veira

Have you ever felt that there was something like a “disturbance in The Force” in regard to our education system? I do. But, as someone that it is far from being an expert on the subject, I don't feel confident enough to even consider that my arguments are based on a set of solid criteria.

Anyway, I have always have a feeling that something was wrong. And, once again, I find myself in front of an awesome talk –“Leading@Google”, by Josh Kaufman– learning about the difference between Education and Accreditation.…

“Cloud Computing: Vision or Reality”

“Cloud Computing: Vision or Reality”“Cloud Computing: Vision or Reality”

Past week I flew to Lisbon to participate in a Cloud Computing Event from IDC: “Managed Services, Outsourcing & Cloud Computing”. The place they chose to host it was the “Centro Cultural De Belém”, which is located on a beautiful neighbourhood. If you don’t happen to know Lisbon, as I don’t, I can promise you will be surprised :).

My talk was a pretty conceptual one covering the following topics:

  1. The deep economic forces that drive this paradigm shift.

Thinking about Cloud Strategy

Thinking about Cloud StrategyThinking about Cloud Strategy

Cloud Computing has been a buzz topic for a while. I understand it: it promises exciting benefits and, therefore, everyone wants to be there. Obviously, that’s not new. Nevertheless, I happened to attend several Cloud Computing events recently and I couldn’t help having a strange feeling of “déjà vu”:

  • both Skeptics and Believers keep saying the same things over and over again.
  • there seems to be some confusion or lack of understanding about how different concepts and components relate to each other.
