[Fiware-general-help] Convincing the crowd ("Why FI-Lab vs. X?")

[MIGUEL CARRILLO PACHECO]

Dear Leandro,

Our exploitation leader has kindly replied and I have this:

FI WARE, an open platform for the use of large data to create applications in a connected, IoT-enabled world:
*       FI WARE offers and advanced Open stack based cloud + rich library of enablers
*       Free Cloud capacity enabling entrepreneurs to test and host a permanent showcase of their applications.
*       Ability to experiment with real data coming from cities (not just open historic datasets but real-time data).
FI-WARE is the European alternative to Amazon and other platforms APPs with very special features:
*       Avoid vendor lock-in:
*       APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) are open and royalty-free.

*       Offers a Data Center alternative to the incumbent players (i.e. AWS)
*       Portability across platform providers
*       Interoperability of apps on top of different providers, compatibility with AWS, Google Apps and Azure.
*       Modularity
*       Non-intrusive, allow different business models
*       Connection to the Internet of Things,
*       Processing of Data and Content at large scale in real time, performing Big  Data analysis, had never been easier to tap into.
*       Integration with standard open data platform


I hope that it helps

Miguel

Hello,

My name is Leandro Doctors.
I'm working for the BeNeLux FIWARE hub (@iMinds).

I'm trying to make the point on "why FI-Labs" for our upcoming meetup, tomorrow here in Brussels. My audience is composed of developers.

http://www.meetup.com/gdg-brussels/events/218763362/


I have been through the edu.fi-ware.eu website, but I have only found tutorials on the technology itself, with no mention to any of the alternatives out there...
Would you have some documentation comparing FI-Labs w.r.t. already existing alternatives? (e.g. GoogleAps, AWS, ...).
Again, my point is "Why FI-Lab".

Some example questions I am preparing myself to
-Technical comparison (what's in FI-Lab vs. the alternatives?)
-Availability (for how long will FI-Lab be available? what then? should I build up my own infrastructure?)

Sorry for contacting you only now. In any case, thanks in advance for your reply,

Best,
Leandro.
