This was an overarching message presented by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/jamesjwatters\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">James Watters<\/a>, VP of Platform Group at Pivotal, in his presentation, \u201cThe Journey to Enterprise PaaS.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe patterns software companies have been using to disrupt things in a pure-play method are now coming to the enterprise.\u201d \u2014James Watters, Pivotal<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Indeed, \u201csoftware is eating the world,\u201d he says, echoing the phrase <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/SB10001424053111903480904576512250915629460\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">made notorious by Marc Andreessen<\/a> a few years ago.<\/p>\n<p>The particular type of software upon which James focuses is, of course, PaaS, and the particular PaaS is Cloud Foundry. He notes that Pivotal is \u201caimed at bringing those patterns to the enterprise in a consumable way.\u201d A big advantage for the company is that \u201cwe don\u2019t have a legacy to protect,\u201d he says. \u201cWe can (thus) focus on the most important trends in the market.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>James touches on much of the commonly shared wisdom of the modern age of open source and cloud computing:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Enterprises must be agile, with rapid software delivery.<\/li>\n<li>Rapid iteration is part of this process.<\/li>\n<li>Focus on horizontal scalability.<\/li>\n<li>Big data is affecting the way companies are thinking about their businesses.<\/li>\n<li>Deep insights come to companies who collect and aggregate their data assiduously.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIt all begins with this agile process (and) gives you competitive advantage. If you can\u2019t change what you\u2019re doing, then you might have made the wrong bet, (because) no one\u2019s smart enough to know 8 months or a year in advance (of exactly what they should do) and get it perfect.\u201d \u2014James Watters, Pivotal<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Enterprises_large_and_small\"><\/span>Enterprises large and small<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>These thoughts have certainly penetrated the consciousness of all large enterprises in the world, and made a big impact at some of them. Watters mentions how with Cloud Foundry <strong>Warner Music<\/strong> has \u201cbecome a software vendor.\u201d (Read our article on how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/warner-music-builds-software-factory-with-cloud-foundry\/\" >WMG adopted Cloud Foundry<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>An even more dramatic example comes from <strong>Tesla<\/strong>. The company\u2019s cars are connected to a 4G network to enable automatic, remote updates, bypassing the traditional dealer network for much routine maintenance. Although it is not using Cloud Foundry, the company is definitely on the edge of enterprise innovation.<\/p>\n<p>On a more centralized scale, <strong>Netflix<\/strong> has evolved from relying on its original data center, built on virtualized IBM P Series hardware, to a PaaS-style orchestration of workloads on AWS.<\/p>\n<p>Watters points out that \u201cthis pattern has been happening in smaller companies, too. They\u2019ve\u00a0learned to build value over the past five years of the cloud era.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPaaS codifies things to make middleware, data services, an application \u2018dialtone\u2019 into API calls,\u201d James says. \u201c(And) Cloud Foundry has become the industry standard for PaaS.\u201d He mentions the creation of the Cloud Foundry Foundation and notes that it is \u201cnot made up of a bunch of upstart web companies, but actually from the Who\u2019s Who of the Tech 100. As a cohesive open-source community, we feel we can change the way enterprises do IT.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>James backs this assertion with a quote from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/jonathanrosenberg1\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jonathan Rosenberg<\/a>, CTO and VP, Collaboration at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/cisco-cloud-collaboration-celebrates-the-oscars-with-cloud-foundry\/\">Cisco<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>James backs this assertion with a quote from Jonathan Rosenberg, CTO and VP, Collaboration at Cisco, who has said \u201cCloud Foundry is the operating system of the cloud.  As the set of API\u2019s and services for PaaS\u2019s grow, the choice of PaaS becomes more crucial as the costs of porting go up. This is one of the benefits open-source PaaS offerings like Cloud Foundry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As an example, Cisco\u2019s latest generation Webex is built using Cloud Foundry.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cIaaS without PaaS is a dying breed&#8230;Change is in the air.\u201d \u2014James Watters, Pivotal<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>At this point in his presentation, he first points out that the Third Platform will have a significantly stronger <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Compound_annual_growth_rate\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">compound annual growth rate<\/a> (CAGR) over the next several years than traditional IT, and that Pivotal is \u201cEMC\u2019s Third Platform company.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Now_come_microservices\"><\/span>Now come microservices<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Within this context, the recent interest in microservices vs. monolithic architecture is enhancing the benefits of a PaaS-based approach. \u201cBy decomposing (into microservices) you\u2019re able to have a team working on each microservice,\u201d James says. He cites Bank of America\u2019s recent interest in Cloud Foundry, as it aims to direct its $7 billion annual IT budget towards a culture in which features can be added faster. They\u2019re asking, \u201cHow do we decompose our teams? How do we organize technology teams around this?\u201d according to James.<\/p>\n<p>Pivotal\u2019s confidence in Cloud Foundry extends to inhabiting the world of the Amazon AWS public cloud. \u201cCloud Foundry is the first (instance) where there\u2019s really a choice to take this next-generation application architecture and run it in the enterprise,\u201d he says. He provides a helpful slide that illustrates the available services (can be seen below).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Four_pillars\"><\/span>Four pillars<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In the final analysis, there are four general pillars upon which to build a commitment to PaaS and Cloud Foundry, James says:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Keep developers happy (through <code style=\"color: black; background-color: #e6e6e6;\">cf push<\/code>).<\/li>\n<li>Keep operations and IT teams excited. When you deploy, the application should be ready to operate.<\/li>\n<li>Keep CTOs happy. They want to use new technologies such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/research-papers\/nosql-performance-benchmark-2019-couchbase-server-v6-0-datastax-enterprise-v6-7-cassandra-and-mongodb-v4-0\/\">NoSQL services<\/a>, and Cloud Foundry enables them to do so.<\/li>\n<li>Keep the CFOs happy. They are continuously trying to plan the next series of investments. With Cloud Foundry, you can deploy and manage on any infrastructure of your choice. You don\u2019t have to decide to be all Amazon, all data center, or all Google, for example.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Cloud_Foundry_a_silver_bullet\"><\/span>Is Cloud Foundry a silver bullet?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Although Cloud Foundry will dramatically speed up application delivery cycles and make life much easier for development and operations teams, it is not a magical solution that suits everyone:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>If you need the best possible performance\u2014e.g., you have a gaming platform\u2014and work hard to shave off every millisecond, Cloud Foundry might not be the best option. Although it drastically reduces the amount of effort and time for building applications, this may come at a price of slight reduction in performance.<\/li>\n<li>At the moment, Cloud Foundry does not run on bare metal, so you have to have an IaaS layer.<\/li>\n<li>To reap all the benefits of Cloud Foundry, you need to change the entire approach to software delivery in your company.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<div id=\"\" class=\"clearfix padded-panel\"><div class=\"details-box-wrapper\" style=\"\/* background-image:url(http:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/cf-after-dark-apache-brooklyn.gif); *\/\"><div class=\"details-box-overlay details-box-overlay-a\"><\/div><div class=\"details-box\"><div class=\"section-title\">Altoros Take<\/div><div class=\"details-wrapper\"><div class=\"detail-item\"><div class=\"take\"><span>\n<p>\"IaaS without PaaS is a dying breed,\" James asserts here. This truism leads to the question of how aggressive (and successful) the big IaaS providers can be in thwarting Cloud Foundry's dreams, forcing their own platforms down enterprise throats, and leading us into an era of Vendor Lock-in 2.0. <\/p>\n<p>James is quotable and profound here, as always. His most important advice is deceptively simple, i.e., keep everyone happy. It's very tempting to handwave Cloud Fundry and other newish tech into an enterprise on the theory that higher-ups simply won't understand it well enough to appreciate it. Big mistake, as James points out.<\/p>\n<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Want_details_Watch_the_video\"><\/span>Want details?
