Vaadin adopts Bluemix and is the first Third Party Boilerplate!

The first 3rd party boilerplate inside IBM® Bluemix™. A Bluemix boilerplate is a runtime and an example application which in Vaadin’s case is a fullstack example app with a CRUD view, statistics view, map view and all persisted through EJB services via JPA to DB2 and running on WebSphere Liberty. We’d like to believe this example app is one of the nicest complete Vaadin apps out there.

Go and check it out in order to get a solid start for your Vaadin project.

 

I love Entrepreneurs! We love Entrepreneurs!

Entrepreneurs are the soul of global innovation!!

IBM Dynamic Cloud Security: Securing enterprises for the Cloud

I have HUGE news to share from the IBM Cloud team! The IBM Dynamic Cloud Security portfolio has been announced!

IBM Dynamic Cloud Security is the industry’s first software and services portfolio designed specifically for securing enterprises across SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS. This announcement represents the very best of IBM Cloud and IBM Security!

So why is security important to a Cloud strategy? First, we know that Cloud is the infrastructure of choice for data analysis and management. Second, companies need a Cloud solution to remain competitive in the marketplace. With all that data in the Cloud, it has got to be secure!

So what differentiates IBM Cloud Security? The obvious answer is IBM SoftLayer and Bluemix! Both provide a security-rich environment, whether you are talking about single-sign on, security access, identity managing, or data monitoring.

Here’s further proof that IBM is uniquely positioned to offer security for Cloud!
