| | OCTOBER 20176CIOReviewOpen source has become the preferred way of germinating new technologies for enterprises across the globe. With many of today's hottest new technologies centered on free, "open-source" technology, companies--from financial giants to retailers to service firms--are constructing their businesses around these technologies that represent a sea change from the IT practices of the past. However, even with open source's precipitous rise in importance, the trends within the realm remain relatively obscure to the world at large. Docker and Hadoop--and in particular their exploding ecosystems--are the most obvious examples of this. With many companies planning to leverage open source technologies to build enterprise-class and cloud-ready solutions, technology vendors should help them overcome the inhibitions associated with the technology, while meeting the security requirements.Open source brings a host of advantages into the enterprise ecosystem. As DevOps tools and processes become more mainstream, enterprises have been able to take advantage of DevOps and break down the barriers between developers and IT. Fueled by enterprise DevOps adoption, the automation of software delivery and infrastructure changes will free developers to spend more time creating and less time worrying about infrastructure. Further, development teams will be able to leverage powerful software quickly, with the support of improved automation. In this scenario, our goal with this special edition is to highlight best-of-breed open source solution providers who can help transform business operations. This edition blends thought leadership from subject matter experts with real stories on what selected vendors are doing for their clients, including exclusive insights from CIOs and CXOs.
