>>from around the globe. It's the Cube with digital coverage of AWS reinvent 2020 sponsored by Intel, AWS and our community partners. Welcome back to the Cubes Coverage of 80 Bus Reinvent 2020. This is the Cube virtual. I'm your host, John Ferrier normally were there in person, a lot of great face to face, but not this year with the pandemic. We're doing a lot of remote, and he's got a great great content guest here. Rebecca Weekly, who's the senior director and senior principal engineer at for Intel's hyper scale strategy and execution. Rebecca. Thanks for coming on. A lot of great news going on around Intel on AWS. Thanks for coming on. >>Thanks for having me done. >>So Tell us first, what's your role in Intel? Because obviously compute being reimagined. It's going to the next level, and we're seeing the sea change that with Cove in 19, it's putting a lot of pressure on faster, smaller, cheaper. This is the cadence of Moore's law. This is kind of what we need. More horsepower. This is big theme of the event. What's what's your role in intel? >>Oh, well, my team looks after a joint development for product and service offerings with Intel and A W s. So we've been working with AWS for more than 14 years. Um, various projects collaborations that deliver a steady beat of infrastructure service offerings for cloud applications. So Data Analytics, ai ml high performance computing, Internet of things, you name it. We've had a project or partnership, several in those the main faces on thanks to that relationship. You know, today, customers Committee choose from over 220 different instance types on AWS global footprint. So those feature Intel processors S, P. J s ai accelerators and more, and it's been incredibly rewarding an incredibly rewarding partnership. >>You know, we've been covering Intel since silicon angle in the Cube was formed 10 years ago, and this is what we've been to every reinvent since the first one was kind of a smaller one. Intel's always had a big presence. You've always been a big partner, and we really appreciate the contribution of the industry. Um, you've been there with with Amazon. From the beginning, you've seen it grow. You've seen Amazon Web services become, ah, big important player in the enterprise. What's different this year from your perspective. >>Well, 2020 has been a challenging here for sure. I was deeply moved by the kinds of partnership that we were able to join forces on within telling a W s, uh, to really help those communities across the globe and to address all the different crisis is because it it hasn't just been one. This has been, ah, year of of multiple. Um, sometimes it feels like rolling crisis is So When the pandemic broke out in India in March of this year, there were schools that were forced to close, obviously to slow the spread of the disease. And with very little warning, a bunch of students had to find themselves in remote school out of school. Uh, so the Department of Education in India engaged career launcher, which is a partner program that we also sponsor and partner with, and it really they had to come up with a distance learning solutions very quickly, uh, that, you know, really would provide Children access to quality education while they were remote. For a long as they needed to be so Korean launcher turned to intel and to a W s. We helped design infrastructure solution to meet this challenge and really, you know, within the first, the first week, more than 100 teachers were instructing classes using that online portal, and today it serves more than 165,000 students, and it's going to accommodate more than a million over the fear. Um, to me, that's just a perfect example of how Cove it comes together with technology, Thio rapidly address a major shift in how we're approaching education in the times of the pandemic. Um, we also, you know, saw kind of a climate change set of challenges with the wildfires that occurred this year in 2020. So we worked with a partner, Roman, as well as a partner who is a partner with AWS end until and used the EEC Thio C five instances that have the second Gen Beyond available processors. And we use them to be able to help the Australian researchers who were dealing with that wildfire increase over 60 fold the number of parallel wildfire simulations that they could perform so they could do better forecasting of who needed to leave their homes how they could manage those scenarios. Um, and we also were able toe work with them on a project to actually thwart the extinction of the Tasmanian Devils. Uh, in also in Australia. So again, that was, you know, an HPC application. And basically, by moving that to the AWS cloud and leveraging those e c two instances, we were able to take their analysis time from 10 days to six hours. And that's the kind of thing that makes the cloud amazing, right? We work on technology. We hope that we get thio, empower people through that technology. But when you can deploy that technology a cloud scale and watch the world's solve problems faster, that has made, I would say 2020 unique in the positivity, right? >>Yeah. You don't wanna wish this on anyone, but that's a real upside for societal change. I mean, I love your passion on that. I think this is a super important worth calling out that the cloud and the cloud scale With that kind of compute power and differentiation, you gets faster speed to value not just horsepower, but speed to value. This is really important. And it saved lives that changes lives. You know, this is classic change. The world kind of stuff, and it really is on center stage on full display with Cove. I really appreciate, uh, you making that point? It's awesome. Now with that, I gotta ask you, as the strategist for hyper scale intel, um, this is your wheelhouse. You get the fashion for the cloud. What kind of investments are you making at Intel To make more advancements in the clock? You take a minute, Thio, share your vision and what intel is working on? >>Sure. I mean, obviously were known more for our semiconductor set of investments. But there's so much that we actually do kind of across the cloud innovation landscape, both in standards, open standards and bodies to enable people to work together across solutions across the world. But really, I mean, even with what we do with Intel Capital, right, we're investing. We've invested in a bunch of born in the cloud start up, many of whom are on top of AWS infrastructure. Uh, and I have found that to be a great source of insights, partnerships, you know, again how we can move the needle together, Thio go forward. So, in the space of autonomous learning and adopt is one of the start ups we invested in. And they've really worked to use methodologies to improve European Health Co network monitoring. So they were actually getting a ton of false positive running in their previous infrastructure, and they were able to take it down from 50 k False positive the day to 50 using again a I on top of AWS in the public cloud. Um, using obviously and a dog, you know, technology in the space of a I, um we've also seen Capsule eight, which is an amazing company that's enabling enterprisers enterprises to modernize and migrate their workloads without compromising security again, Fully born in the cloud able to run on AWS and help those customers migrate to the public cloud with security, we have found them to be an incredible partner. Um, using simple voice commands on your on your smartphone hypersonic is another one of the companies that we've invested in that lets business decision makers quickly visualized insects insight from their disparate data sources. So really large unstructured data, which is the vast majority of data stored in the world that is exploding. Being able to quickly discern what should we do with this. How should we change something about our company using the power of the public cloud? I'm one of the last ones that I absolutely love to cover kind of the wide scope of the waves. That cloud is changing the innovation landscape, Um, Model mine, which is basically a company that allows people thio take decades of insights out of the mainframe data and do something with it. They actually use Amazon's cloud Service, the cloud storage service. So they were able Teoh Teik again. Mainframe data used that and be able to use Amazon's capabilities. Thio actually create, you know, meaningful insights for business users. So all of those again are really exciting. There's a bunch of information on the Intel sponsor channel with demos and videos with those customer stories and many, many, many more. Using Amazon instances built on Intel technology, >>you know that Amazon has always been in about startup born in the cloud. You mentioned that Intel has always been investing with Intel Capital, um, generations of great investments. Great call out there. Can you tell us more about what, uh, Amazon technology about the new offerings and Amazon has that's built on Intel because, as you mentioned at the top of the interview, there's been a long, long standing partnership since inception, and it continues. Can you take a minute to explain some of the offerings built on the Intel technology that Amazon's offering? >>Well, I've always happened to talk about Amazon offerings on Intel products. That's my day job. You know, really, we've spent a lot of time this year listening to our customer feedback and working with Amazon to make sure that we are delivering instances that are optimized for fastest compute, uh, better virtual memory, greater storage access, and that's really being driven by a couple of very specific workloads. So one of the first that we are introducing here it reinvents is the n five the n instant, and that's really ah, high frequency, high speed, low Leighton see network variants of what was, you know, the traditional Amazon E. C two and five. Um, it's powered by a second Gen Intel scalable processors, The Cascade late processors and really these have the highest all court turbo CPU performance from the on scalable processors in the club, with a frequency up to 4.5 gigahertz. That is really exciting for HPC work clothes, uh, for gaining for financial applications. Simulation modeling applications thes are ones where you know, automation, Um, in the automotive space in the aerospace industries, energy, Telkom, all of them can really benefit from that super low late and see high frequency. So that's really what the M five man is all about, um, on the br to others that we've introduced here today and that they are five beats and that is that can utilize up thio 60 gigabits per second of Amazon elastic block storage and really again that bandwidth and the 260 I ops that it can deliver is great for large relational databases. So the database file systems kind of workload. This is really where we are super excited. And again, this is built on Cascade Lake. The 2nd 10. Yeah, and it takes It takes advantage of many different aspects of how we're optimizing in that processor. So we were excited to partner with customers again using E. B s as well as various other solutions to ensure that data ingestion times for applications are reduced and they can see the delivery to what you were mentioning before right time to results. It's all about time to results on the last one is t three e. N. 33 e n is really the new D three instant. It's again on the Alexa Cascade Lake. We offer those for high density with high density local hard drive storage so very cost optimized but really allowing you to have significantly higher network speed and disk throughput. So very cost optimized for storage applications that seven x more storage capacity, 80% lower costs given terabytes of storage compared to the previous B two instances. So we will really find that that would be ideal for workloads in distributed and clustered file system, Big data and analytics. Of course, you need a lot of capacity on high capacity data lakes. You know, normally you want to optimize a day late for performance, but if you need tons of capacity, you need to walk that line. And I think the three and really will help you do that. And and of course, I would be absolutely remiss to not mention that last month we announced the Amazon Web Services Partnership with us on an Intel select solution, which is the first, you know, cloud Service provider to really launching until select solution there. Um, and it's an HPC space, So this is really about in high performance computing. Developers can spend weeks for months researching, you know, to manage compute storage network software configuration options. It's not a field that has gone fully cloud native by default, and those recipes air still coming together. So this is where the AWS parallel cluster solution using. It's an Intel Select solution for simulation and modeling on top of AWS. We're really excited about how it's going to make it easier for scientists and researchers like the ones I mentioned before, but also I t administrators to deploy and manage and just automatically scale those high performance computing clusters in Aws Cloud. >>Wow, that's a lot. A lot of purpose built e mean, no, you guys were really nailing. I mean, low late and see you got stories, you got density. I mean, these air use cases where there's riel workloads that require that kind of specialty and or e means beyond general purpose. Now, you're kind of the general purpose of the of the use case. This is what cloud does this is amazing. Um, final comments this year. I want to get your thoughts because you mentioned Cloud Service provider. You meant to the select program, which is an elite thing, right? Okay, we're anticipating Mawr Cloud service providers. We're expecting Mawr innovation around chips and silicon and software. This is just getting going. It feels like to me, it's just the pulse is different this year. It's faster. The cadence has changed. As a strategist, What's your final comments? Where is this all going? Because this is pretty different. Its's not what it was pre code, but I feel like this is going to continue transforming and being faster. What's your thoughts? >>Absolutely. I mean, the cloud has been one of the biggest winners in a time of, you know, incredible crisis for our world. I don't think anybody has come out of this time without understanding remote work, you know, uh, remote retail, and certainly a business transformation is inevitable and required thio deliver in a disaster recovery kind of business continuity environment. So the cloud will absolutely continue on continue to grow as we enable more and more people to come to it. Um, I personally, I couldn't be more excited than to be able Thio leverage a long term partnership, incredible strength of that insulin AWS partnership and these partnerships with key customers across the ecosystem. We do so much with SVS Os Vives s eyes MSP, you know, name your favorite flavor of acronym, uh, to help end users experience that digital transformation effectively, whatever it might be. And as we learn, we try and take those learnings into any environment. We don't care where workloads run. We care that they run best on our architecture. Er and that's really what we're designing. Thio. And when we partner between the software, the algorithm on the hardware, that's really where we enable the best and user demand and the end use their time to incite and use your time to market >>best. >>Um, so that's really what I'm most excited about. That's obviously what my team does every day. So that's of course, what I'm gonna be most excited about. Um, but that's certainly that's that's the future that you see. And I think it is a bright and rosy one. Um, you know, I I won't say things I'm not supposed to say, but certainly do be sure to tune into the Cube interview with It's on. And you know, also Chatan, who's the CEO of Havana and obviously shaken, is here at A W s, a Z. They talk about some exciting new projects in the AI face because I think that is when we talk about the software, the algorithms and the hardware coming together, the specialization of compute where it needs to go to help us move forward. But also, the complexity of managing that heterogeneity at scale on what that will take and how much more we need to do is an industry and as partners to make that happen. Um, that is the next five years of managing. You know how we are exploding and specialized hardware. I'm excited about that, >>Rebecca. Thank you for your great insight there and thanks for mentioning the Cube interviews. And we've got some great news coming. We'll be breaking that as it gets announced. The chips in the Havana labs will be great stuff. I wouldn't be remiss if I didn't call out the intel. Um, work hard, play hard philosophy. Amazon has a similar approach. You guys do sponsor the party every year replay party, which is not gonna be this year. So we're gonna miss that. I think they gonna have some goodies, as Andy Jassy says, Plan. But, um, you guys have done a great job with the chips and the performance in the cloud. And and I know you guys have a great partner. Concerts provide a customer in Amazon. It's great showcase. Congratulations. >>Thank you so much. I hope you all enjoy olive reinvents even as you adapt to New time. >>Rebecca Weekly here, senior director and senior principal engineer. Intel's hyper scale strategy and execution here in the queue breaking down the Intel partnership with a W s. Ah, lot of good stuff happening under the covers and compute. I'm John for your host of the Cube. We are the Cube. Virtual Thanks for watching
