It’s being called a ‘spin off.’ But this is not like a glacier calving. IBM is splitting in two. One part will continue to be ‘IBM’, focused on hybrid cloud and AI. The other part, called ‘NewCo’ for now, will focus on managing client-owned infrastructure. This is an incisive and courageous move by IBM. Understanding … Continue reading IBM’s Spin Off: A Window on Key Architectural Factors for the Coming Decade

The CONQUER Architecture for Distributed Systems, Part 1 of Probably Too Many but Hopefully Just Enough
Some time between 2010 and 2013 I began thinking differently about integration, both among components of distributed applications and among distributed applications per se. I know the rough time span because I published an integration reference architecture here in 2010 that did not feature the new ideas, and one in 2013 that did - well, … Continue reading The CONQUER Architecture for Distributed Systems, Part 1 of Probably Too Many but Hopefully Just Enough
