GigaSpaces Cloudify - The PaaS Jailbreaker Uri Cohen
The promise of many current PaaS platforms is that they will make application development on the cloud simple. To achieve this, most PaaS platforms take the "my way or the highway" approach (a.k.a opinionated architecture), and force you to fit into their own stack, language of choice, cloud data center, security, high availability, and scalability models. The result is that once you’re in – you’re locked in forever. Cloudify aims to change all that by giving you the freedom to choose your own stack, on any cloud, and handle your application without code changes.
The document summarizes presentations from the Herefordshire Broadband Summit. It discusses various rural broadband projects in the UK, including one in Rutland that deployed fiber broadband to remote areas. It also discusses allpay's efforts to provide broadband access to more rural communities in Herefordshire using church towers. BT discusses its next generation access plans to bring fiber to two-thirds of UK premises by 2015 and potential partnership models for rural broadband rollout.
Rural broadband access is essential for rural economic growth but is often inadequate due to market failures. Current UK rural broadband initiatives are fragmented and complex, driving inefficiency. A new holistic policy framework is needed that sets clear objectives, recognizes regional differences, is demand-driven, considers a range of technologies, and removes uncertainty to better support rural broadband infrastructure rollout.
Cybermoor Networks is expanding into the South Tyne Valley in Northumberland, bringing fibre optic broadband to communities from Slaggyford to Park Village.
Bill Murphy, Next Generation Access- Ready for partnership, Beyond 2010eventwithme
BT is investing £2.5 billion to expand fibre broadband access in the UK. By 2015, fibre will be available to two-thirds of UK premises through the installation of over 30,000 cabinets and laying of over 50,000 km of fibre. BT supports partnerships with local authorities and the private sector to develop comprehensive broadband plans and stimulate customer demand. Examples provided demonstrate collaborative projects in Cornwall, Northern Ireland, and Iwade that aim to bring next-generation broadband access to entire regions and communities.
Superfast Cornwall was a £132 million partnership that brought fibre broadband to 100% of the region, with 80% fibre coverage. This transformed the rural economy, connecting over 10,000 businesses and creating 4,000 new jobs. An evaluation found the programme increased GDP by £186 million already and was on track to boost it by over £250 million by mid-2016, all from just £53.5 million in EU funds. The success demonstrates that public-private partnerships are an essential model for deploying broadband in rural and less commercially viable areas.
The document outlines the agenda for Cybermoor Networks' AGM, including receiving reports from management and auditors, electing new board members, and applying profits. It provides an update on Cybermoor's South Tyne Valley fiber optic network project, including plans to build connections from Slaggyford to Park Village and extend to Haltwhistle. It also discusses seeking social investment to finance connecting rural areas and future plans to extend fiber coverage around Alston.
The document discusses the need to plug Britain's "fibre gap" by investing in fibre optic infrastructure. It notes that only 2% of UK premises have fibre to the premises (FTTP) compared to 62% in Spain. The strategic goals outlined by Ofcom include large-scale fibre investment, reducing dependency on Openreach, and achieving competition between three or more networks for 40% of premises. The document then highlights CityFibre's work in building shared fibre infrastructure in over 40 UK cities, enabling gigabit broadband access. It provides examples of their network in Hull connecting over 300 public sites and their FTTP deployment in York achieving over 15% penetration at under £500 per premises.
