Founded in 1997, IBM's jStart™ team is IBM's primary client engagement group for emerging internet technologies. The team is part of IBM Software Solutions Group, and is a component of the Emerging Technologies team. jStart is responsible for creating prototypes and solutions for companies around the world, and has frequently launched the first implementations of technologies for introduction into the enterprise.
jStart was originally founded as a vehicle to engage and validate Java technology with customers/clients. In 1999 it broadened its mission to covering the much wider concept of “emerging internet technologies”.
Historical Timeline of technologies jStart has been involved in:
International Business Machines Corporation (commonly referred to as IBM) is an American multinational technology and consulting corporation, with corporate headquarters in Armonk, New York. IBM manufactures and markets computer hardware, middleware and software, and offers infrastructure, hosting and consulting services in areas ranging from mainframe computers to nanotechnology.
The company originated in 1911 as the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company (CTR) through the consolidation of The Tabulating Machine Company, the International Time Recording Company, the Computing Scale Company and the Bundy Manufacturing Company. CTR was renamed "International Business Machines" in 1924, a name which Thomas J. Watson first used for a CTR Canadian subsidiary. The initialism IBM followed. Securities analysts nicknamed the company Big Blue for its size and common use of the color in products, packaging and its logo.
In 2012, Fortune ranked IBM the second largest U.S. firm in terms of number of employees (435,000 worldwide), the fourth largest in terms of market capitalization, the ninth most profitable, and the nineteenth largest firm in terms of revenue. Globally, the company was ranked the 31st largest in terms of revenue by Forbes for 2011. Other rankings for 2011/2012 include №1 company for leaders (Fortune), №1 green company in the United States (Newsweek), №2 best global brand (Interbrand), №2 most respected company (Barron's), №5 most admired company (Fortune), and №18 most innovative company (Fast Company).
Cloud Foundry is an open source cloud computing platform as a service (PaaS) originally developed by VMware and now owned by Pivotal Software - a joint venture by EMC, VMware and General Electric. Cloud Foundry was designed and developed by a small team from Google led by Derek Collison and was originally called project B29.
Cloud Foundry is primarily written in Ruby and Go.
A different PaaS project also used the name Cloud Foundry, and was written in Java for Amazon EC2. It was founded by Chris Richardson in 2008 and acquired by SpringSource in 2009 (the same month VMware acquired SpringSource). The current product is unrelated to the project under SpringSource, but the name was adopted when the original SpringSource project was ended.
Cloud Foundry comes in three flavors.
The Cloud may refer to:
