Liferay Community (CE) vs Enterprise Edition (EE)

Why convince your Liferay customers

One of the major difference of Liferay CE is that its free, licensed under LGPL and distributed "as is" does that mean we should tell our customer to go ahead with CE.
Where as Liferay EE is not free but:
  • Security and bug fixes.
  • Subscription & support package.
  • Hardened for security.
  • Designed to be rock solid stable.
  • Stable version of the product that is offered over an extended period of time.
  • Direct access to engineering-grade technical support.
  • Training and support tools.
  • Additional features within Liferay.
Being a Liferay partner we have an option of proposing Liferay as a solution to our customer and helps them get a discount on there overall cost that varies from region to region.

You might have faced the following issues in your clients production environment while using Liferay CE:
  1. Server is running very slow.
  2. Memory Out - Error.
  3. Heap space Issues.
  4. Reduced concurrent User scale.
    and..... so many more.
It truly boils down to the Non Functional Requirements that you or your organization commit to the client. In some case's the clients them self's have no idea and believe your organization is best to understand there needs.

I recommend "don't propose some thing today and not being able to show face tomorrow".

Hands-on with Mozilla’s Web-based “Firefox OS” for smartphones

Launching a new mobile OS is a difficult project since the market leaders, Android and iOS, have such  a big lead. Even Microsoft, with its near-infinite financial resources and vast ecosystem of complementary products, has struggled to gain traction. And new entrants face a chicken-and-egg problem: developers don't want to write apps for a platform without many users, while users don't want to buy a phone without many apps. Mozilla, the non-profit foundation behind Firefox, believes it can tackle this dilemma. In 2011, it announced a new project  called Boot2Gecko to build an operating system around its browser. Last year the project was  re-branded Firefox OS, and Mozilla began preparations for a major push into the mobile phone market. In February, Mozilla  unveiled an impressive initial list  of hardware and network partners. If all goes according to plan, Firefox OS phones will be available in a number of countries, mostly in the developing world, la...
