Welcome to “What’s Next?”, a blog designed to provoke thought, incite debate, and spark dialog among not only technologists, but all who benefit or attempt to benefit from the technology we are so dependent upon.

On the whole, I believe the technology industry has done a superb job in creating the tools to make technology useful. I also believe that we have failed to really capitalize on said tools to make technology, ubiquitous, relevant, and most importantly transparent. We still struggle too much with technology. We need to think differently about what we are doing and really begin to solve all problems with the end in mind. So, just think about what I’ve said. My subsequent posts will make you realize that we can certainly attain far more than we have – after all, it’s just software, it can do anything!

What’s next for me….I will be at the Wind River User Conference in Orlando, FL from May 16 – 18. I’m hoping to be inspired by what I hear and see and to find some answers about “what’s next?”

The Apple iPad is just the beginning of this move from the Personal Computer to the Personal Cloud. With the iPad, Apple has hit a grand slam, scored a hattrick, a touchdown, or any other superlative sports metaphor you can conjure up. The iPad is the next step in the computing revolution. If you think Steve Jobs, the Roark of t...

Is HP Getting Serious About Lifecycle Virtualization?

HP Announces Intent to Acquire Network Virtualization Business and Technology of Shunra  I s HP Getting Serious About Lifecycle Virtualization? In a quiet blog post on the evening of March 4, 2014, HP announced that it had signed a definitive agreement to acquire the network virtualization business and technology of Shunra , a current HP partner. The HP blog post continues to outline the benefits the Shunra technology will bring to its mobile software testing business.

Service virtualization, indeed, is where the Shunra technology will mesh well with HP offferings. Service virtualization is defined by voke as: Enabling development and test teams to simulate and model their dependencies of unavailable or limited services.
