Winners in the cloud revolution | ZDNet: "Many of the software technologies generating much of the cloud interest are open source - Puppet, Chef, Hadoop, Linux - and so to win in this area companies need to help steward the development of the technology while concentrating on enterprise-grade support - a potent source of revenue in open software. For this reason companies like Linux stewards Canonical and Red Hat stand to benefit as well, along with companies backing strong open source projects and making them into commercial products, like cloud infrastructure software maker Joyent via the node.js language, or Rackspace via OpenStack. In the same way that Hadoop can be run locally or from a cloud service, such as Amazon Web Service's Elastic MapReduce technology, all companies that deal in scalable software have the potential to sell to the whole spread of the IT market, ranging from individual developers up to companies with on-premise commodified hardware and, perhaps, to the cloud providers themselves.
