I just recorded a podcast with Eugene Kuznetsov, IBM Director of SOA Appliances, about the acquisition of the company he founded, DataPower, a year ago.

About Eugene Kuznetsov:

Kuznetsov founded DataPower Technology, Inc. in 1999 to provide enterprises with an intelligent, XML-aware network infrastructure to support next-generation applications. DataPower was acquired by IBM in October 2005. In his new role as an IBM Director of SOA Appliances, Eugene is responsible for overseeing the product development and strategy of the DataPower offerings as part of IBM's SOA portfolio of software and security appliances.

Prior to starting DataPower, Kuznetsov led the Java JIT Compiler effort for Microsoft Internet Explorer for Macintosh 4.0. He was also part of the team which developed one of the first clean room Java VM's. This high-speed runtime technology was licensed by some of the industry's largest technology companies, including Apple Computer. He has consulted to numerous companies and worked on a variety of hardware and software engineering problems in the areas of memory management, power electronics, optimized execution engines and application integration. Kuznetsov holds a B.S. in electrical engineering from MIT.

I recorded a podcast debate last week with ebizQ bloggers Neil Ward-Dutton, Ronan Bradley, David Linthicum and Joe McKendrick. They're free to post it too, so perhaps they'll have other things to say in terms of how it turned out.

Enjoy!

Check out this article by Rob Risany about Shakespeare's integration lessons for IT.

The comedy of errors occurs when business people expect to be able to personally use their BPEL-enabled SOA infrastructures to magically change the way they do business today. SOA and BPEL are not designed for business people. BPM is. The tools, methodologies, best practices – even the corporate cultures – of truly BPM enabled companies are different than those solely focused on BPEL and SOA.

Our own fantastic Column 2 blogger Sandy Kemsley says the once the MySpace Generation starts entering the workforce, enterprise architects will have their work cut out for them in catching up their tools with the kind of on-demand computing models that these young 'uns have become used to. It's high time we started introducing social networking concepts to our BPM tools, Sandy says.

If you do nothing else today, check out Sandy's excellent podcast on Anne Zelenka's Office 2.0 Podcast Jam.

And hey, Brenda Michelson's podcast on "An IT 2.0 Toolkit that Meets End User and Enterprise Needs," rocks too.

Kudos to Anne for putting together such a truly compelling and timely event!

In the next day or two, I'll have a podcast for you of an interview I just did with Dave Rosenberg, one of InfoWorld's Open Source bloggers, who also happens to be CEO and founder of Mulesource, an open source ESB company. The version being released today is available at http://www.mulesource.com/.

Joining the competitive landscape and comparing itself on some levels with IBM Websphere, Sonic and Cape Clear (except free and open source), and working interactively with projects such as Spring and Tomcat, Mulesource is certain to shake up the ESB space a bit.
