>>live from Washington D. C. It's the Cube covering Bumi World 19 to Bide Movie. >>Hey, welcome back to the Cubes Coverage of Bumi World 19 from Washington D. C. I'm Lisa Martin with John Ferrier and John and I have a Cube alumni sitting with us. We have the chief product officer off. Del blew me. Steve would Steve, Welcome back. >>Thank you. It's great to be back. I could see again. John. Great must meet you >>back. Wise Enjoyed your keynote this morning, Man. There were so many nuggets and there I couldn't type faster. But one of my favorite things that you said is that no one is asking for less data. Slower? >>Yes, OK did I like kind of like saying because it frames things very clearly. It's just because it's clearly a prole. Every relates to him in the audience, but it was kind of amusing, so they've really got it immediately as I get that, that's a fair statement, so >>so like, and then you kind of took us the audience back. Thio 11 months ago at Bumi World 18. Some of the things that you guys said this is what we're going to be really focused on redefining the eye and I pass to be intelligent. Give her audience who wasn't able to see your keynote A little bit of that historical from 11 months ago. So what you guys are delivering today what the Bumi platform looks like today? >>Yeah, sure. So I mean, a lot of showed last Army, we kind of owe. Then we feel like we is like craters. The industry have to kind of try lead it. Where? Where is it going next? That's our big kind of duty, I guess. And so it's been taken over when we had the founder of booming attend, which was nice, but yes, so the big thing we should Last year was kind of the next generation, which is really a unified look and feel super easy to build applications that spend all of the portfolio and art in our that we offer our customers. We wanted to make it very collaborative, so users of business or business analysts or quick technical people can work together and use. Our platform is a collaboration space of the right controls in place. Eso stuff like that was really good to show that our new solutions. Overview. We've been definitely encouraging partners to put Maur intellectual property into our platform to excel, help accelerate their customers. Helping our customers just get people on board as quickly as possible. In fact, actually owned boarding employees on boarding was the solution we showed last year. >>That was fantastic. I couldn't believe how complex that was at Bumi. And when you guys said, We've got to change this huge improvements. >>Yeah, well, it was sort of a discovery that came up from one of our cells. Engineers got Andy Tiller did a fantastic job. He didn't enjoy his, um, his own boarding experience abuse me and then sort of building a solution. And we're like, we like we can actually do this way better on the platform. But what was amazing was that even for a company the size of Bumi, which is about 1000 people, we have, like, nearly 100 integration points and systems had to be coordinated to on board a single employee 100. Yeah, it's a lot, you know. So it became a really connectivity problem, actually, on >>boarding >>bits relatively easy. It's just, like connected all these systems. That's the hard bit. So yeah, we're excited to show that I think we got a kick out of seeing you together than we give progress on how we're moving that forward with various demos >>you don't want to ask you. Last year we asked the chief operating officer and the CEO Bumi what their investment priorities were going into the next year. And they said Number one was product. So that was a key thing. First and foremost go to market and then customer equation. But a product has been a big focus. That continues to be. What >>is >>the problem? Does it mean product when your chief product officer, what do you overseeing? Talk about What is the product? What is the platform And is there a difference? >>Yeah, I mean, so we we talk about the problem because we're in the product group, but we definitely see it as a platform. The investment in product is great. It means I get to spend lots of money like about my new converse. I won't try to show them, but way, but yeah, I mean, the investment partners being that we know that as we get Maur is this is this economy keeps building of integration and connective iti wanna continue to hold our leadership. We need to invest in product to make it easier. The expectations of our users is that they get a really premium experience when they're on board it onto the platform. We have to make sure we keep up to date with all of that effort. So a lot of what we talked about, it's how one is that we break our product up into discreet service is to allow us to move faster from an engineering perspective. And there's a lot of stuff that goes on there to think about ourselves as a platform to make sure we're fully extensible on. Then providing Maura Maura service is that people can build on our platform. So a lot of that investment just driving those >>activity. Rick was on yesterday talking about the big bets they made early on that are paying off. One of them was Aussie Cloud. On seeing that as you look at the architecture of this kind of new era of clobbering cloud to point, are we calling it? There's new requirements. It's the glue layers being built out. You need data to be accessible on addressable and available in real time, and you have multiple systems to talk to hence the integration you guys are doing. But this new mega trends happening is event driven architectures, which you guys talk about. There's a P I's just going from rest ful to state. And so you have micro service is here. So these air new dynamics Can >>you take >>a minute displaying like what all this means And what is event driven infrastructure? >>Yeah, a venture of architecture. But yeah, that's well, that's what we've been calling it. But yeah, I mean, it's basically that we're going to models where we're responding in real time to things that are happening out there on that revolt that involves a whole new level of scale. But, you know, we're also getting to things like streaming soas. Data come comes in, it's coming in, not in these packets, but it's constantly being fed to you, sir, constantly having to process it. You know, before in the integration space, it was like what? You'd set up a schedule you'd say, move that data at midnight from there to there and then it got faster and booming, provided real time, which was a request response that you send it personally, require a response back. But now it's like we're not going to just send it to you as a discreet thing. We're going to send it to you constantly, so event driven architectures. But how do you handle this continuous influx of data? And it's not getting any less. So how do you kind of manage this? We're being pulled in. Both ends were being pulled. There's never been more data that you never wanted to have faster. So it's like, How do you manage that? So for Bhumi, you know, that's why we're investing so heavily. >>Used to be in the old days when things were slower, events were like a trigger in a network management software alarm notification. Now they're happening. All the time is more and more events and paying attention to what events becomes a non human thing. Yeah, it's a software thing. Is that kind of where this is going? >>Yeah, well, I >>mean, we've been thinking >>a lot about that, like we sort of feel it. One is that we're gonna grow up from being on iPods to more of a data management vendor. We think that, like where the data manager in the future will come from an I pass, that we will be managing your data across like all of these systems from the catalogue and preparation to the, you know, actually integration and surfacing it up in real time and all that kind of streaming side. So I know it's Ah yeah, it's an evolving field for sure. >>One final point on this topic of product AP eyes have been great. They really made the market. Going back to the original Web service is in early two thousands to cloud. Where does a P I go? A A p I to dot or whatever you call it. What's the next Gen Place for AP? Eyes? >>Well, so it's interesting course. So we >>have >>a slightly different view of a pie management. That may be the typical AP management space, which is one thing to declare openly. But I think I >>want to >>go with that. Were right in the sense that cause I would think that because I'm a product, >>it's a good thing for a product. I don't think so Go >>and we're more than a little opinionated. So >>it is here, >>but yeah. Is that like sure. I mean, with a p I You need a gateway you need for the proxy ap eyes. Wherever they may be, wherever they may be developed. Other you build him and Bumi or you code them yourself when you told him, Manage those and throttle and scale and add policies and, you know, have developers registered to use them and monitor their usage and cut them off and have quotas. All that kind of that is old, fantastically good stuff. You know, there's lots of understeer doing a lot of that. We're adding Maur Mork capabilities there. But for us, a p I is really about AP enabling absolutely everything like we're in this world where you got refrigerators, two autonomous vehicles to cloud infrastructure to pivotal to all these different environments. And you have to have a tool that how do you How do you manage a P I across this incredibly disparate landscape of tools, technologies, things, infrastructure and it's one thing to say. OK, we could manage a P eyes and you install our software. Well, that's not good enough because, you know, with our customer like Jack in the box. They have 2200 plus retail locations. Nice have joked in my keynote that it's like painting Golden Gate Bridge. If you had to upgrade your gateway every time there was enough grade needed. It's like pain the Golden Gate Bridge to get to the end and you start all over again. That's 2200 plus retail locations. You know, I work for Dow. Ultimately is the holy owner of our business. He put five billion P seas on the planet. What if you had a gateway on five billion peces like, How do you manage that from a single control plane in the cloud? And that's what we're after. How do you do that huge scale AP enabling literally everything. >>And this was kind of under the concept of run anywhere that waas Yes, >>yes, yeah, and that was because we wanted to emphasize that it was about running Ap eyes and a pen, enabling things wherever they may be. That's why we put it under the run anywhere Banner. >>What's the biggest thing that you guys have done this year from last movie world that you're proud of? In terms of product or technology or something that could be of some obscure something prominent. What do you do? You proud of? What's the big thing? >>Yeah, well, for a point of perspective, it would be the AP I side for sure, because that was that was a big lift. There was a lot of work involved. We kind of moved ourselves forward very, very quickly in our capabilities on a p I with Gateway portal proxy, you know, literally within the span of just over a year. So that was Ah, big left. But I would, you know, because I also run engineering. So I feel like I need to, like, geek out a little bit. I mean, one of my proud things is, actually, we started wrestling and wrangling that 30 terabytes plus of metadata and starting to see what's in there. And like, anything in data science, you know, you're kind of like looking at weaken start. We started seeing all sorts of cool new things. Now I'm not gonna talk about it the inside side, But you start to see new things. We start to see ways that that meditated can be applied. So we built the infrastructure It's huge scale, massive scale they might have meditated, were ingesting and then analyzing eyes helping us, you know, improve productivity across the platforms. We talk a lot about being more efficient, more effective, so you'll see more of that in the pub. >>Can you clear up the just the commentary around the definition around single tenant instance? And when customers do multi tenant, because the benefit of the single tenants what the main core value proposition with the data, the unification of data? That's awesome. But there's also potential opportunities with customs. Might want have a roll run through things. So you have flexibility. Is that true? Is that the definite Take us through what the difference when, when multi tenant kicks in and what's >>well, so on our platform multi tendencies s. So if you think about the build experience when you're your dragon dropping, pointing, clicking, building your work flows or your processes for managing your data, you do that in the cloud, and then you can decide where you wanna put that. So where is that actually gonna be executed? And you can put it in our cloud, which is our multi tenant cloud, and then you. Could we manage it all for you? And that's fantastic. You can point or manage. Cloud service is if you have very specific requirements, usually around security, Sometimes around hyper scale. Well may put you in a manage cloud service environment. But then, if you have very sensitive data, you may want to run that workload and then stole our little run time. Adam, you know behind your firewall so we never see the data. So it's super sensitive. We don't see it. We >>see how >>it's running and we manage it. We have grade that that infrastructure for you, but we never see your data, so it kind of gives you the best of both worlds. You could be a cloud first, cloud only vendor, and you can be a traditional on perimeter. You could be a hybrid of both >>is not a requirement. The product. It's a customer choice. >>It's a total customer choice. I think that's pretty cool. Yeah, and I think actually we're one of the few that does it the way we've been doing for a long time. And it's hard, by the way, because it's like maintaining that compatibility For 10 plus years, is quite difficult to make sure everything works every time. We have, like 9000 >>customers and 80 plus countries. But on the the 30 plus terabytes of anonymous metadata, you are very clear this morning and saying that it's just the metadata that's not the actual have any any, you know, private information from any of our customers. But in terms of leveraging that data for those insights where some of the things that from last spoon me world to this one, that that access to all that data has what some are. Some of the announcements, maybe that came out today that you guys looked at saying, It's these are some of the nuggets that were able to pull out because we have the access to this musing. Maybe it's a I or what not gonna give you >>some examples in one was the the suggested filters. And it was a simple thing. I did sort of like that joke of It's one small step for Bhumi customers, but a giant leap for booming engineering. But because we rebuild a whole bunch of infrastructure to dio but suggested filters just making it easier to query information of various systems. And it is cool because it literally is looking your system, comparing it with other customers systems based on how you've configured in this case Attilio environment and then working out actually, based on what people are doing. This is kind of what the filter might look like for you, which is very, very personalized to the user. Based on intelligence. We have more That's on the bill tight. We have more on the deployment side because you can show you, actually hey, few of built in a p. I do want to deploy it out, too. A raspberry pie will. Actually, you probably want to configure the AP. I like this where you may find you see some issues here, and that's not static information that's evolving from the metadata. We can see the performance of your systems against the Oxy. All right, In that environment, I do it a bit like this. Or if you deploy to say, I Jules, we might make recommendations based on that process of that, a p I or that data quality hub that you wantto excess just make your systems run like this. So it's kind of predicting how you deployed >>I was about to say, Are you helping customers get predicted with us? >>Yes. And there's lots we can do there. I mean, like, so we'll do Maura. Maura. But we can automatically optimize your deployment. So if it's in our cloud, that that'll happens automatically. So helps us, too. But for customers, it's also making just go. Okay, we'll deploy it. And then the leverage that community to so see what works best. The most successful deployment, the most successful architecture and the way you've deployed it is was what you'll be matched with. And then the same with the run time. With monitoring, we can start to look at things and see will. Well, not slowing down a little bit. Actually, it's Linden the string error. A little bit, actually, based on what we've seen before, that system may be about to fall over, so you might want to get all not before completely does what it's gonna do. >>Well, we got you here. I want to get your definition of cloud two point. Oh, on We've been riffing on this. Been more of a takeoff on Web two point. Oh, because cloud one daughter was anything Amazon you know storage. Compute some networking, but it's Amazon that working. But you scale up start ups will go there. It's beautiful thing, but now it's enterprise. Start to embrace cloud with hybrid on premises and deal with all these hard problems and challenges. Crazy opportunity. An operating model for on premises Cloud Club one Dato Amazon. Really easy to work with. Scales are beautiful. Cloud to point is different. I got things to deal with. Observe, abilities, a hot thing you got kubernetes containers you got. How would you define what cloud? Two pointers for Enterprise? >>We'll think because we're all about the data cloud 2.0, is really like for us. Ah, data problem. I mean, it's just like E think before I mean, I was part of cells force for a while. Is this whole idea of like earlier data in the cloud will manageable for you. But when you're getting into the kind of environments were seeing, say, there's just too much data like you, it's not feasible. I mean, give you an example. Bumi itself. We moved our infrastructure customers was transplanted customers from Rackspace to eight of us Last year it was a big engineering lift to do. You can imagine moving 9000 plus customers over on our cloud Ah, design surface that but so we did that, but actually to move the data, it was so much it was actually faster to put the disk drives in the back of a van. No mobile moving over snowball using the wheel network, you know, the engine motor e one and then put the hard drives in. And then we did our sink to bring them back up so that we have the same data in both locations. And that's just an example of the kind of customer data that customers are routinely struggling with. And cloud wasn't set up for that. But that's becoming day to day now, so you need a highly distributed architecture. It was probably why we announced the Adam Fabric, which is really a fabric of connectivity, as much as is a fabric of data, so we don't need to move your data around. You can leave it where it is. We can do some analysis on it as part of an end to end >>Program Cube alumni that I was on the cube a couple weeks ago, he said. Data is the new software, data and software. What's your reaction to that when you hear that? >>To some extent, >>I think that's a CZ, A bit of a business process geek. I think you know this process around data for sure. But But I do think I've heard similar things with, like, actually, applications come and go. Business processes come and go, but the data remains so I think maybe in some respects, your date is the new software Could be a term I I could buy into a Well, >>Steve, it's been great having you on the Cube with John and me sharing all of the things that you guys have done in the last 11 months. I can't wait to see how everything becomes a P. I enabled. Still, next Bumi World, you gotta come back. Yeah, All right. Our pleasure for John Ferrier. I'm Lisa Martin. You're watching the Cube from Bhumi World 19. Thanks for watching
