Neeraj commented on IBM’s recent acquisition of RedHat
Open Source software is free, but it certainly also seems to be worth a lot of money.
Microsoft bought the open source software repository GitHub for $7.5 billion in June. Now IBM has decided to go one better and fork out $34bn to buy another open source stalwart, Red Hat — the biggest deal ever in the open source community. Heavy investments in open source are clearly fashionable, but do they herald the beginning or the end of commercial open source?
In an article by Daphne Leprince-Ringuet on wired.co.uk, Bluzelle CTO Neeraj commented that “if IBM does not allow Red Hat to operate as it does now and maintain its culture, the values Red Hat brings to the community will deteriorate.”
New Article on Information Age
Blockchain-as-a-service (BaaS) faces a big data challenge
Blockchain-as-a-Service (BaaS) is starting to gain real traction as an offering.
This is no surprise. The technical complexities and operational overheads involved in creating, configuring, and operating blockchain solutions can be formidable barriers for enterprises.
Factor in a shortage of accomplished and experienced blockchain developer teams, and it makes sense for businesses to leverage cloud-based solutions to build, host and manage their blockchain apps and smart contracts.
BaaS is a clear and sensible route — perhaps the only foreseeable route — to blockchain’s mass adoption. The BaaS market is expected to grow from around $623million in 2018 to $15billion by 2023 — a pretty impressive compound annual growth rate of 90%.
But to achieve this kind of growth, providers know they need to find ways to solve the current data storage scalability issues.
This is a more pressing problem than most people realise.
