William Fellows is a cofounder of The 451 Group. As VP of Research, he is responsible for the Cloud Transformation Channel at 451 Research. This Channel provides a point of intellectual convergence for 451 Research around cloud computing, in much the same way that the industry is converging on cloud from all points. In addition to keeping tabs on players entering the cloud and IT services space with disruptive business models, new technology and innovations in service delivery, William has also created 451 Research's Digital Economics unit. This is currently focused on helping end users, vendors and investors understand complex and confusing cloud pricing mechanisms in order to compare the cost of services (hosted, hybrid and on-premises), the cost of entry and price of participation in new markets.
William also created 451 Research's early adopter research program, working with enterprise end users and innovators. Currently focused on cloud computing, he has identified and tracked other early adopter markets, including grid computing and virtualization, since the company was formed in 2000. William also leads 451 Research's participation within the European Commission and numerous other EC research projects. William is a member of the EC Cloud Expert Group, coauthor of The Future of Cloud Computing? Opportunities for European Cloud Computing Beyond 2010, and a regular speaker at industry and 451 conferences. He participates in numerous advisory boards and planning committees for UK and international industry bodies.
Kubernetes is complex and difficult to deploy " it autoscales based on available resources, not on requests themselves. OpenShift Serverless is designed to resolve this complexity to deliver the benefits 'as advertised' of quicker time to market and faster recovery.
Platform providers have added security capabilities, either for free or as easy-to-consume premium services. Third-party vendors, on the other hand, have incorporated cloud-native security functionality, either organically or through acquisitions.
The company is building a general purpose programming language specifically for serverless cloud execution that underpins a PaaS offering it will sell as a secure, low-cost, highly scalable and easy-use alternative to today's proprietary environments.
The goal is to host applications more cheaply than can be done today, in the cloud, in a serverless manner. The language is designed specifically to make this model attractive " the greater the scale, the greater efficiency and lower cost.
VMware is building out a multicloud management business around its 2018 acquisition of CloudHealth, a firm that provides management of pricing, usage, performance and security across multiple clouds. In cloud transformations, the ongoing optimization of deployments is where the long tail opportunity lies. This is where CloudHealth is being positioned.
Cloud-native approaches to software and service design enable enterprises to act faster, more efficiently and at greater scale: enterprises can go faster with cloud and be more efficient with microservices. Here we examine some of the key trends in serverless, including cross-cloud and legacy application integration.
The European service provider's provenance is as a reseller, but it is shifting toward outcome-based service delivery. Owner Rigby Group is looking for SCC to innovate, operate with greater agility, and position itself to take advantage of the market re-platforming to cloud infrastructure and cloud-native applications.
