<h2 itemprop="description">Not only is open source producing the
most exciting new software, it's creating a DMZ where big players
can shape the future of enterprise tech</h2>
<p>Last week's OSCON conference served to remind us that open source
software is setting the pace. We've come a very long way from the
old saw that "open source doesn't innovate." Instead, you might
ask: Is innovation in enterprise software happening anywhere else
other than in open source land?</p>
<p>Hadoop is at the center of the big data trend. OpenStack has the
momentum in private cloud. Open source frameworks and IDEs
absolutely dominate app dev, while all the leading NoSQL databases
are open source. Do I need to mention that Android now powers more
smartphones than any other mobile OS? Plus, Microsoft and
Salesforce excepted, you'd be hard-pressed to find a cloud
provider that uses anything but open source software to deliver
its service.</p>
