Dear Leandro,

As expressed on http://www.fi-ware.org/contact-us/, the
fiware-lab-help@lists.fi-ware.org list is for "technical support ". This
may be unclear, but we intend to convey that the engineers you will
ultimately reach on this channel are technical, they will help you to
restore a stopped service, to deploy a GE, etc. but they will be
powerless to answer such kind of questions.

I resend your query to the general list where they'll be pleased to help
you. I am going to ask personally as well just in case.

Best regards,

Miguel

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.
