Gorilla Clouds?
May 4th
In Geoffrey Moore’s books (Crossing the Chasm, Gorilla Game, etc) the gorilla is the market-share leader whose position is sustained by proprietary technology that has high switching costs (Wikipedia says so!!).

These marketers are working at getting more creative, and come up with a whole new vernacular to describe their products to differentiate them from all the others. These emails are normally flagged as junk, but [...]
Virtualization Technology Adoption – part 5 – High Performance Computing

Now we’ve come to the earliest stage of market adoption, the Innovators. We have also come to the most interesting of computing classes, supercomputing, also commonly referred to as High Performance Computing (HPC). That HPC is the most interesting class of computing, is my perspective only, as are all these posts. If you find my [...]
Virtualization Technology Adoption – part 4 – Embedded Processors
Apr 29th
By now a trend is appearing – I’m working my way back through the technology adoption lifecycle. In the new year I was reading some blog posts and vendor literature on virtual machines in embedded computing. It was this reading that got me thinking about different value propositions of virtual machines in different computing classes [...]
Virtualization Technology Adoption – part 2 – Compute Servers
Apr 28th
In the first post of this series, we looked at the technology adoption life cycle, seven value propositions for market adoption of virtualization, five classes of computing and the maturity of virtualization in mainframe computers. Over the last several years, virtual machines have seen major adoption in the commodity compute server market. I think it [...]
