FileMaker on Linux / Docker – Presentation at Kentuckiana Developers Group

[vc_row bg_color=””][vc_column][vc_column_text]A few weeks ago, Jonathan Fletcher was kind enough to invite Romain Dunand (@airmoi) and I (@FabriceN) to do a presentation at his Kentuckiana Developers Group.
The topic was a comparison of all possible ways to host a FileMaker database, from local server to Virtual Private Server, to, of course, our fmcloud.fm Linux/Docker solution.

If you want to understand the implications of Docker in the FileMaker universe, it is probably worth watching it.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row bg_color=””][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nC3zlUctASc”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row bg_color=””][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]Sometimes there is a misunderstanding about docker. Some people think about it as an extra layer of complexity, or something that would eat up the physical ressources. The opposite is true.
This slide illustrates how docker saves space (and maintenance operations, updates…) of the guest operating system on each server. Everything is a container, so FileMaker Server containers can share an Operating System container (they can also NOT share it, in situations where we want to have some servers running FileMaker Server 19.2 (CentOS) and some running FileMaker Server 19.3 (Ubuntu).

FileMaker launches its Marketplace

Today Claris launches its FileMaker Marketplace. Guess who got the top spot on the first page?

Nutshell Console of course ! The flagship product of the season, cited many times during the last DevCon in Orlando.

Beyond this sweet satisfaction, we are very excited about this FileMaker Marketplace. While there isn’t much content at this time, the quality of what is available (apps, training …), make us confident that it will contribute to expand significantly the platform’s visibility.

We have some projects that might interest developers. If you are interested, do not hesitate to contact us or to meet us at future European conferences (scroll down the page for European conferences)

FileMaker Inc. becomes Claris

A quick note from Orlando, where 1-more-thing’s Romain Dunand and yours truly attend FileMaker DevCon’19, the annual FileMaker developer conference.

Brad Freitag, the new CEO – who had previously held the position of sales manager for six years – made some sensational announcements at the inaugural keynote.

The most striking is the name change of FileMaker Inc. which becomes (again) Claris (the full name is Claris International Inc.). It is important to note that the name of the product remains FileMaker, so this name change has a limited impact on our lives and those of our customers. However, this represents a great marketing opportunity and will refresh the image of our platform whilst giving it more visibility.

Giuliano Icacobelli, founder of Stamplay & Fabrice Nordmann, 1-more-thing.

However, the reason for this change is extremely exciting: Claris will now have other things to sell! Indeed, Brad Freitag announced the recent acquisition of Stamplay, a startup whose technology is perfectly in line with FileMaker Software’s “Workplace Innovation Platform” positioning. Branded Claris Connect, Stamplay’s products will carry on enabling further and faster integration of all technologies and services used by companies. We are absolutely delighted with this strategy that we shall further discuss at some point.

Brad Freitag, CEO of Claris, presents Marketplace and … Nutshell Console

Finally, we had the pleasure of seeing our product, Nutshell Console, honoured by Brad Freitag during the announcement of the Marketplace. Nutshell Console was also mentioned several times during the first day’s sessions, confirming its flagship position of this season’s FileMaker series. To celebrate, Nutshell is also being promoted during the conference (30% discount on the first year with code fmdevcon19)
