Going into DellWorld, there are a handful of high-level questions - well, really, statements in the form of questions - that’d love to hear Dell’s reaction to. They all really revolved around “what’s the plan now?”: How is Dell going to run things differently now, day-to-day? From what I can tell (reading press releases), the strategy is the same as the the last 2-3 years, which is to become more of a one stop shop for hardware, software, and services - sort of “IBM Junior,” and I mean that in a highly complementary way.

After attending the IBM software group analyst summit, it was clear that IBM is going “all in” on DevOps. This is not only product-wise, but internally as well. I hope to be covering this topic more. In the meantime, for 451 clients, here’s my report on the topic, and the summary out-take: These activities feel like the start of IBM kicking off a new multi-year initiative: enabling its usual large enterprise customer base to take advantage of devops to deliver software to market with faster feedback loops.

The APM stuff is going like hot-cakes apparently. Adding to it’s developer & QA tools and monitoring (AlertSite) portfolio, SmartBear announced it’s acquisition of Lucierna.
