“4. Coming to America… And JBoss: The VAR Guy met
two attendees from Australia. Both represent major banks that are
seeking to migrate off of proprietary middleware solutions
(Oracle/BEA WebLogic, IBM WebSphere) and onto Red Hat JBoss. The
big reason: The cost and complexity of proprietary middleware. This
isn’t an isolated trend. During an informal lunch discussion,
about 10 other attendees seated at the table shared similar
middleware migration priorities.“3. Where’s MySQL?: Dozens of open source application
developers and integrators are at the event. But a big one —
MySQL — is missing in action. Where is the open source
database provider? The VAR Guy has sent an email to MySQL asking
why they apparently aren’t attending. But the big winners
appear to be EnterpriseDB and Ingres, which are enjoying heavy foot
traffic in their booths.”
