The Who, What & Why of Commercial Open Source [On-demand Session]

Highly available self-hosted open source is like a puppy that needs love and care. Hosting an open-source application that is highly available, well-supported, secure, up-to-date, and easy to use requires significant effort and dedicated staff. For many organizations, an out-of-the-box product is a great solution to solve this problem.

But how do you bridge the gap between free, open-source software and commercial open-source products?

We've assembled a panel of experts that have a close relationship with open source to discuss just that during this on-demand session. These panelists offer a SaaS product with easy setup and 24h support or offer proprietary services built on top of open-source software. In this webinar, we will discuss the following:    

• The benefits of working with an active open-source community
• Why are some customers willing to pay for these services?
• Bridging the gap between free, open-source software and commercial open-source products
• Thoughts on the open-source ecosystem and its evolution
