"New methods of IT automation are providing IT staff with tools that enable them to deliver applications at a speed that matches the rapid pace of business demands," said Michael Cote, analyst at RedMonk. "I like these new approaches like Opscode's because they seek to fundamentally change, and thus improve, the way IT is managed rather than just incrementally speeding up older approaches. Early adopters looking to get an edge in IT-led innovation will appreciate one of the few toe-holds of differentiation left in today's highly competitive world." - IBM: 1100100 and counting | The Economist

The research company says that, due to fragmented personal technology (all those smartphones, MP3 players, tablets and PCs), the emerging personal cloud ecosystems that tie it all together will make for a $12 billion industry within the next five years…. by 2016, 196 million Americans will be using a personal cloud service and that 97 million will pay for the service — amounting to nearly $6 billion in direct revenue." - ActiveMQ: not ready for prime time – Good Stuff
