>>live from Orlando, Florida It's the cue covering Microsoft Ignite Brought to you by Cho He City >>Welcome back, everyone. And welcome to the cubes live coverage of Microsoft Ignite Here in Orlando, I'm your host, Rebecca Night, along with my co host Stew Minimum. We're joined by Nicholas Djerassi. Moto's He is a cloud computing evangelist at Red Hat. Thank you so much for coming on the Cube. It's a pleasure. Thank you. So tell us a little bit about what you do at Red Hat. >>So I work with a lot of red, have partners really trying to foster the ecosystem and build red have products and solutions that can actually be deployable, repeatable for different customers. So different verticals. Financial health care doesn't really matter. For the most part, I try and just focus on cloud computing and really just evangelizing a lot of our technologies that we have. >>Okay, so So what are the kinds of things you're doing here at ignite? >>So I've been spending a lot of time actually working with some of the partners, like a center IBM. We've been doing a bunch of different webinars a little bit of hands on workshops that kind of educating people about distributed computing edge computing on dhe some of the technologies that we've been working along with Microsoft. So, uh, co engineering of sequel server The man is service offering that we're doing with open shift, which is our enterprise great kubernetes platform along many other >>different things. So So, Nicholas, you know, it's been a couple of years now that we've gotten over some of the gas. Wait. Microsoft has not said that, you know, we're killing the penguins, you know, off on the side. I was in Boston for Red Hat Summit. Tatiana Della's up on stage there, you know, Red hat. You know he's not hiding at the show. So bring us inside. You know where customers deployments are happening where engineering efforts are working together. You know, we know we've been hearing for years red hats in all of the clouds and partnering all of the merit. So what? What, you know, different or special, about the Microsoft relationship? >>I mean, honestly, I think the relationship is just evolving and growing because our customers were asking for it right there, going towards hybrid and multi cloud type of strategies. They want to be able to take advantage of, you know, running rail within their own data. Centers were running rails specifically on top of Microsoft Azure, but they're also looking at other club service providers. I think it's gonna be mandated eventually at some point in time where customers are gonna start looking at diversification when it comes to running applications, wherever it makes sense, taking advantage of different you know, cloud end of service is different providers. So we've been getting a lot of time like understanding what their needs are and then trying to build the engineering to actually address those needs. I think a lot of that has really come from the co engineering that we have going on. So we have a red head engineer sitting alongside bikers, off engineers, spending a lot of time building things like the Windows distraction layer wsl things along those lines, All >>right, so I'll be a Q Khan in a couple of weeks and kubernetes still, a lot of people don't really understand where it fits Way have been saying in a Cuban eight is gonna be baked into every platform. Red hat, of course, is not really a major contributor but has a lot of customers on open shift. We had Microsoft, you know, this week, talking about as your arc is in preview. But you know, they're they're the David Taunton who does partnership, Engagement says. You know, this does not mean that we will not continue to partner with open shift in the best place to run open shift is on azure. It's the most secure. It's the best. So help us understand his toe. You know where this fits In the overall discussion of that multi hybrid cloud that we were talking about earlier. I >>think everybody wants kind of a single pane of glass for manageability. They want ability to actually look and see where their infrastructure is being deployed. One of the pitfalls of moving to the cloud is the fact that it's so easy to spend a resource is that a lot of times we lose track of where these resource is. Our or individuals leave companies, and when they leave, cos they leave behind a lot of leftover items and instances, and that becomes really costly over a period of time. Maybe not so bad if you have, you know, 100 or 500 instances. But when you talk to some of these enterprise customers that are running 110,000 instances and spending millions of dollars a month, it could get very costly. And not only that, but it could also be a security risk is well, >>so let's talk about security. What kinds of conversations are you having with regard to security and data protection at this conference? >>So you know, one of the biggest things that we've had a lot of customers asking about his redhead insights so ready in sizes away it's a smart management application that actually ties into looking at either workloads or configuration management. It could actually tell you if you have a drift. So, for example, let's say you install sequel server on well, and you miss configure it. You leave the admin account running on it, it can actually alert you and make recommendations for remediation. Or maybe in general, you're using you know, S E. Lennox is disabled. The things along those lines so insights can actually look into, uh, the operating system or the applications and tell you if there's miss configurations all right, >>a lot of discussion about developers here, You know, day to keynote was all about, you know, AP Dev And, like Sathya have been a lot of time talking about the citizen developer. Seems like that would be an intersection between what red hats doing in and Microsoft. >>Um, so I would say, you know, we're obviously very developer first focused right when we built things like Open Shift Way kind of. We're thinking about developers. Before you were thinking about operations, and later on, we actually had to build more of the operations aspects into it. Now, like, for example, in open shift, there's two different portals. There's one for the developer Focus and one for the I T admin focus with operations groups because they want to see what's going on. Developers don't really care specifically about seeing the distraction of where things are. They just want to deploy their code, get it out the door as quickly as they can, and they're really just not too concerned about the infrastructure component pieces. But all of these developers, they want to be ableto right there, applications right there code and deploy it essentially anywhere and everywhere and having the easiest process and We're really just trying to make that as simple as possible, like visual studio plug ins that we have for open shift, you know, Eclipse G and other things. So really, I mean, Red has always been very developer focused first, >>so does that seeing Microsoft Satya Nadella up on the stage talking about this developer first attitude that Microsoft is really embracing the developer. And, as you said at development for all that does seem like a bit of a cultural shift for Microsoft much more aligned with the red hat way and sort of open source. So are you talking about that within without your cut with your colleagues? That red hat, about the change that you've seen the evolution of Microsoft? >>Absolutely. I mean, if you look at, like Microsoft, the contributions that they're putting towards, like kubernetes or even contribution towards open shift, it's It's amazing, right? I mean, it's like the company's gonna complete 1 80 from the way that they used to be. There's so much more open the acquisition of Like Get Hub, for example, all these different changes, it's it's amazing. He's done amazing things with the company. I can't say enough positive things about all the wonderful things that he's done. So >>all right, so Nicholas Red Hat has an interesting position in the marketplace because you do partner with all of the clouds on the environment. While IBM is now the parent owner of Red Hat and they have a cloud, your customers touch all of them. I'm not gonna ask you to competitively analyze them. But when you're talking to customers that are choosing Azure, is there anything that calling out as to why they're choosing Microsoft where you know they have, you know, a advantage of the marketplace or what is drawing customers to them on then? Of course, redhead. With that, >>I think Microsoft is more advanced when it comes to artificial intelligence and machine learning. A, I and ML and computing. I think they're light years ahead of everyone else at this point in time. I think you know, Amazon and Google are kind of playing a little bit of catch up there, Um, and it's showing right. If you look at the power platform, for example, customers are embracing that. It's just it's fantastic looking at a lot of the changes that they've implemented and I think it's very complimentary toe the way that people are starting to build their applications. Moving towards distributed infrastructures, Micro Service's and then obviously cloud native service is as well >>in terms of the future will be. We are really just scratching the surface when it comes to to the cloud. What do you see 5 10 years from now in terms of growth rates and also in terms of the ways in which companies are using the cloud. >>So I kind of like Thio equate it towards, like, the progression that we've had with cars. I know it sounds so simple, but, you know, we went from steam engine to regular piston engines, and now we've gotten to a point where we have electric cars and there's gonna be self driving cars. I think we're gonna get to a point where code is gonna be autonomous in a sense, right self correcting ability to actually just write code and deploy it. Not really having to worry about that entire infrastructure layer. Everybody's calling it server lists. There's always gonna be a server per se, but I think we're gonna have a point where next 5 to 10 years that all of that is gonna be completely abstracted away. It's just gonna be focused on writing the code and machine learning is gonna help us actually evolve that code and make it run faster and make it run better. We're already seeing huge benefits. And when it comes to machine learning and the big data analytics and things on those lines, it's just natural progression. All right, >>love, you know what's top of mine from the customers that you're talking to Earth event. Any new learning is that you've had or, you know, things that have kind of caught your attention. >>I think the biggest thing, honestly, is really been them. The multi cloud Polly Cloud methodology that everybody seems to be embracing. It seems like every customer I'm talking to is looking at trying to avoid that vendor lock and per se, but still have that flexibility to deploy their applications wherever and still utilize cloud Native Service's without actually specifically having to, you know, go completely open source >>and one of the challenges there is every cloud. I need different skills to be able to do them. If I'm deploying it, it's the people and being able to do that. You know, we all lived through that era of trying to do multi vendor, and often it was challenges. So have we learned from what we've done in the past? Can multi cloud actually be more valuable to a company than the sum of its parts? >>I think so. And I think that's the reason why I, like Microsoft, is investing in art. For example, I think those methodologies way No multi clouds, tough. It's never gonna be easy. And so these companies need to start building in developing platforms for it. There needs to be be great if there were standard AP ice and such right, but they're never gonna do something along those lines. But I think the investments that they're putting forth now are gonna make Multiplied and Polly Cloud a lot easier in the future. And I think customers are asking for it. Customers ask for it, they're gonna build it. >>What does this mean for the workforce, though? In in terms of the kinds of candidates that cos they're going to hire because, as we said, it does require different skills and and different capabilities. So how what's your advice to the young computer scientists coming up in terms of what they should be learning. And then also, how do you think companies are making sensible of this? >>So I know from a company respectable. It's challenging a lot of companies. Especially, for example, I was talking to a very large financial institution, and they were saying that their biggest issue right now is hiring talented people to deal with Micro Service's kubernetes. Any time to hire someone, they end up getting poached by the big cloud companies. So you know, it's one of those things where people are gonna have to start diversifying their talents and look at the future. So I mean, obviously, Micro Service's are here. They're gonna continue to be here. I would say people should invest in that. But also look a server Lis, you know, I definitely think serverless these days towards the future. And then when it comes to like learning skills of multi club, I think cloud competing, that's just the number one growing in general. >>So since you didn't bring up server Lis, you know, today I hear serverless and most customers that I talked to that means a W s number two in the space probably is Microsoft, but there's efforts in to try to help, you know, give a little bit of open source and standardization there. Where's Red Hat? Stand on this. What do you see? What from Microsoft? What are you hearing from customers? >>Were heavily contribute all the different, you know, projects, trying to make server lists like easier to use and not so much specific vendors, Right? So whether that's, you know, Apache, spar or whatever you want to consider it to be, were trying to invest. Invest in those different types of technologies. I think the main issue we serve earless right now is we still don't really know how to utilize it effectively. And it's still kind of this gray area in a sense, right? It's cutting edge, bleeding edge emerging technologies. And it's just, in my opinion, it's not perfectly ready for prime time. But I think that's specifically because there's just not enough people that are actually invested in it. This point in time. So >>So what are you gonna take back with you when you head back to Phoenix from from this conference? What are the things that have sparked your interest the most. >>Gosh, I live, I would probably have to say, Really digging in deep on the Ark announcement. I think that's the thing that I'm most interested in, understanding how how we can actually contribute to that and maybe make that plug double for things like open Shift. You know, whether it's open shift on premise, open shit, running in the cloud on another, Well, architecture's, you know, things like insights. Being able to plug into that, I really see us trying to work with Microsoft to start building those things. >>Well, Nicholas, thank you so much for coming on. The cubit was really fabulous conversation. Thank you. I'm Rebecca Knight for Sue minimum. Stay tuned for more of the cubes. Live coverage from Microsoft ignite.

>>live from Orlando, Florida It's the cue covering Microsoft Ignite Brought to you by Cho He City Welcome >>back, everyone to the Cubes Live coverage of Microsoft IC Night. 26,000 people were here. The cube, the middle of the show floor. It's an exciting time. I'm your host. Rebecca Night, along with my co host, Stew Minutemen. We're joined by Barbara Homans. She is the director. Global ecosystem strategy and micro ecosystem lead at HP Thank you so much for coming on the Cube direct from Munich. Yes, Rebecca. Glad to be here. So you have You have two Rolls Global Ecosystem Strategy and Michael Microsoft's ecosystem lead. Explain how those work and how they there is synergy between those two roles. Yeah, I mean, I started >>off with the Microsoft role, but what we figured out is that actually, the world is much bigger than just one alliance, and that's why we call ourselves the Ecosystem. So it's all about driving alliances from different partner speed as I speed Eyes V's or also smaller partners in different segments and build a whole ecosystem play. That's what I'm attempting to do. >>So how do HB and Microsoft worked together. So we've >>seen partnering for 30 years strong, strong relationship with Microsoft and really nice to see. Also today, you know some of the H p e solutions on stage and even deepening our partnership. We have several areas. Probably 34 I can talk about in the next few minutes on how we work together with Microsoft specifically. >>Yeah. So? So Barbara, You know, I think most of us remember back, you know, early if you're talking about windows and office and you know HP here what's now part of HP Inc? Not sure. As many people know about all of the places that H p e Partners, obviously on the server side, it makes sense. But Azure is something. And the Azure arc announcement Help us understand, you know, Azure stack and beyond. Where? HP. Ethan with Microsoft on the Enterprise side. >>Perfect. Absolutely. We have still in Microsoft. Oh, am business where we have actually service attached with licenses. That's not going away rights. We absolutely. It's a strong business class. We work very closely around sequel with Microsoft, and that's also worried this whole azure arc announcement fits in. But it's more than just a sequel right with this as your arc. For me, it's a announcement around deepening relationships. Both. We're interested in a hybrid strategy. I really like Thio here from Satya today. How important hybrid is for Microsoft and this announcement as your ark. That's in public preview now, right? Well, give somewhat details on that. So we'd love to work with customers on that we actually our part of the public review and if anyone is interested, love to hear from customers. Please come to me, Barbara Holman's and we'll hook you up and get into the program. It's really about the hybrid piece, right that we both worked >>in Barbara H. P. E. If my understanding plays on both sides of it, it's not just in the data center with some gear there, but as you said, there's a sequel. The application side, you know, hybrid HP, you know, plays across the board, >>Indeed, So I don't know if you know about HB is actually a expert MSP partner for Azure. We got that last year. We're very proud of what I think we're one of 50 world by its partners. That also means we can actually offer Manage Service's Migration Service is helping people to move to an azure based clout. And that actually came partially because off our position off CTP Cloud Technology Partners, but also read pixie in the UK, and there are no old part off our point. Next service is group, and so as such, we have numerous customers were actually helped into the public cloud. Help them to find the right place. Because if you don't know if you've seen the video from Eric Poodle, that was part of the announcement today as well around as your ark, this is all about finding the right mix off your applications, and this is where we work together and a perfect fit. >>What are some of the biggest challenges you're seeing from your cut from your customers in terms of how you might, how Azure Arc might be the solution for them >>so as your ark? It's hard to say at this >>stage, because I just really don't work for Michael >>Self. So, yeah, we have to ask these people. But again, what I understand division is really that way will be able to manage hybrid environments in a in a better way, and again, this is what HP You know, we have a lot off our tour, of course, but we also announce that our hardware, all of that, will be available as a service within the next two for years. So we're moving in that direction in addition to Azure. And I think this will help customers to take adventures in the end. But it's hard to say Right, So you on this. This is very new. At this stage, the odds are right >>and this is a Microsoft show, not on HP show, but I I read somewhere that you had done a talk. Fear no cloud with H. P m. Our company's afraid. I mean, how would you describe the atmosphere with the companies that you work with? I worked >>in the cloud space, but for the last 10 years or longer, you know, it was on different parts off the industry there and from the early adoption. Really. People looking into you know, should I trust my data in this specific with this cloud provider or which applications am I gonna move? And I think today people have lost the fear a little bit, but they still don't know what to put where and there's applications, you do not want to move in a cloud. There's others that you for your specific company, you don't want to move, and another company may do that. And that's what we're trying to help them, right? So don't you don't have to fear the cloud you can. Actually, we can help you to adopt it at your pace in your way and so that you take most of the advantage out of it. >>But Barbara would love to hear any color you could give from the joint HP, EA and Microsoft customers very much. The announcement today feels like it completely. It's an update on the hybrid message, but A B and Microsoft have been working together on solutions like Azure Stack for a number of years. So what? What's working well today? What do you think you know? This will mean down the road a CZ. Some of these solutions start start to mature even further. >>Maybe moving to another area that HB and Microsoft worked very well together is around the modern workplace practice, and in there we just had a really nice win with Portia thing, actually in Austria, but planning to roll this out no further than that, and h b E's team has helped them to move from the current applicator from the current environment. Thio up two dates. Microsoft 3 65 Environment There's em OD in the UK and it's fast twice if I can talk about M. O D on stage here and they said yes, another customer that we should help to move to a Microsoft 3 65 environment. So there's numerous customers that trust HP with Microsoft in moving their their information to the to the clouds. Yeah, that's one example Asha Stack we have. You know, there's several customers that hard won about ashes. Takis. Difficult to talk about the customers because a lot of them are in the government sector on. So you know, there's a few that we can talk about, but they're mostly service providers, but the really big names, unfortunately, we can talk about because of the conference shit Confidentiality. Yeah, >>trust is one of the things that we keep hearing so much of it about at this conference. Satya Nadella talked about it on the main stage this morning in terms of the relationship that you have and HP standing in the technology world. How do you feel trust with customers? And how do you make sure you are maintaining that? That bond of trust and also the reputation of being a trustworthy partner? >>Yeah, I think I love you know, I love Saturdays, Point on trust because that actually makes the difference between you. Just deliver hardware and you walk away. And this is probably coming back to Azure stack Hop, as it's called now, right? You know, we've been told actually by Microsoft that we've accomplished with the customers from a delivery from a You know, we don't just walk away and say Good luck with the equipment you're on your own really helped them thio and make sure it's working for them. So for me, that's the key that you can come back to a customer afterwards and the customer will actually have you in your office again. >>Well, Barbara, I think back for most of my career what one of the hallmarks of an H. P e solution Was that the turnkey offering we know from, you know, ordering through delivery through, you know, up and running. HP has been streamlining that you know, I think back my entire career cloud has been not necessarily the simplest solutions out there. So maybe give us directionally. How does HPD partner with Microsoft on dhe your customers toe make? I would easier as WeII go through this journey >>S O s aside. Whereas your expert MSP partner a such we have done several of course trainings with Microsoft. We make sure that our people are educated on it way have, you know, with red pixy in the UK it's now part of point next, but I love to say the name because people really associate still with this a specific, strong and trustworthy team. You really build up a very good practice with Microsoft. There's, you know, local deal clinics where we really work in the specific deal. Steal by deal on how we can make it better for the customer. So a lot off local engagement. But for me, that all happens in country. Write me at a global level. I can only help them and steered a little bit. But that's also for me trust. It's a person to person relationship that happens in country. >>And would you say there are big differences country to country in terms of how willingly trust you and and and then how long it takes to build that relationship. >>So I'm gonna get in >>trouble now with some of the country. >>No, I you know the >>somewhere, even your CEO. >>You know, it's no, I mean you and I personally lift in Canada for a while, and so for me, it's some people are harder, you know, you need to get to know them. But then trust is even deeper then some of the others. But I have to say, it's all we're I mean, we're, I would say, from all those who look at h p were really a global company, right? And from this goes from Japan, Thio South Pacific too. You know, many countries in Asia will be very successful with ashes, stack specifically and always in Europe, the Middle East, all the way to North America, South America. So, I mean, that's the nice thing about HPD, I would say for the customers as well that they really get a global view on DA, a global company that can trust. >>So you're here, Ed ignite from Germany. What are the kinds of conversations you're having. And what do you think you're gonna take back with you when you go back to the office next week? So the other piece >>and we have ah, quite big. Both hear it at the event, right? We have a very nice edge line 8000 with us, which is kind of a ruggedized us or a smaller version. It's kindof almost my hand back, kind of to carry along, which has caught a lot of interest from the customers. So just standing there, watching the customers, asking, What is it? Can you tell me more about it? Rest is, you know, I love the bus and I love the actually part of the Microsoft Advisory Council for inspired, which is the partner event, right? But I love the bus to see here what's what's going on and always like to see how other people what they do, what they what they do at these events and then just Microsoft. I think it's wonderful, wonderful company. The inspiration. The story today was just into end a great story with great customer stories as well. So she does to the Microsoft team. Well done. >>Congratulations. Your gear was highlighted in the keynote this morning, so I'm sure that's driving a lot of traffic through for people Thio CC the latest. >>I would >>hope Superdome flex was there and then the actual stick. Both of them were there. So we worked hard for that. Thank you, Michael Self, for giving us the opportunity to be present and the keynote today. Well, >>thank you so much for coming on the Cube. It was a pleasure having you on Barbara. >>Thank you, Rebecca. Thank you. Stupid. >>I'm Rebecca Knight. First to minimum. Stay tuned for more of cubes. Live coverage of Microsoft ignite.

>> live from San Francisco. It's the Cube covering Google Cloud next nineteen, brought to you by Google Cloud and its ecosystem partners. >> Welcome back to San Francisco, everybody. We're here at the Mosconi Center. This is Day one of our three day coverage of Google next twenty nineteen, the second year the Cube has done Google. Next, Google's Big Cloud show, Thomas Curry and up on stage today, the newly minted head of Google Cloud. I'm Dave Volante and this is my co host student, and you're watching the Cube, the leader in live tech coverage. And we're here with Cy Mukundan, who was the director of product management at Cohesive deci. Great to see you again. Thanks for coming back in the queue. >> Thanks, Dave. Thanks. Too nice to be here. >> So if you could show it's hopping. Your clouds were all the action is. But let's talk a little bit about how he city you guys were on fire growing like crazy. What's the quick update on the city? >> Cool. Yeah, cohesive ahs you might have heard last year we had a big funding round way. Heard investment from Softbank. I know it's a result off that we just launched cohesively Japan s. So that's how we're going to market in Japan. So that's expanding our international presence, particularly in Asia. And then here, you know, not America. There's been a growing number off customer acquisition, and I would say, more importantly, repeat customers as well. You know, you you really realize that with enterprises, it's the repeat. Customers help you drive more adoption. That customer case studies on that again gets new customers, right? So that's what you're seeing and cohesive e >> big mega trends that are tail winds and opportunities for Kohi City and other other players in the space. Cloud, obviously, is one of those big ones that changed the way in which we develop applications changed the developer world. But also there's a desire to get Maura out of backups. I want to talk about you know, some of those trends. What is driving your business. What do you guys see? A CZ. The big trends. What's the premise? >> Yeah, So the premises data protection is no longer the insurance policy, so to speak that customers were thinking about they're really thinking about. What else can I do beyond just data protection? Right. So That's where the power ofthe cohesively platform comes in. In terms ofthe, once the data is there on platform, the ability to do other things. Stability to leverage it for tester for disaster recovery for analytics so recently. You know, sometime back we actually launched our APP store, both powered by applications that can know where Bill by Cho Hee City and then also in partnership. It's plunked on a couple of other renders where these APs are now running on the data set that has landed on cohesive. So customers are now truly realizing the vision that we had promised to them in terms of being able to do more with the data. >> So speed a cloud. You guys get hard news, so take us through that. >> Yeah, so today's an exciting day. We actually released our first SAS offering. It's caused. Could cohesively cloud backup service for Google Cloud Platform? So think of it as truly backup. A service broadly speaking, three things right? So it provides that enterprise grade data protection that customers are looking for in G. C. P. So you heard in the main stage today about Google warning to partner with another windows and This is one such partnership. There we provide backup and recovery for applications running on ***, so that's the first one enterprise grade. The second aspect ofthe the solution is the fact that it is truly scalable in nature, but at the same time provides that granular recovery capabilities when the customer needs that data back right on. The last one is really the ease off use and management, because when you're doing things in the cloud, customers are usedto ease off use in terms of consuming the service, right. So here it's integrated with Google both in the marketplace as well as in terms ofthe the building that they get. So everything is all integrated with G C. P. All >> right, so if so, we've talked to all the hybrid multi cloud shows, you know, Big virtual ization show in all three of the Big Cloud shows. What differentiates the SAS offering from what, what cohesive has been offering in the past? >> Yeah, I think so. Up until now, it's bean to major things that we have delivered for customers. One is the Khyber return videos that you guys have alluded to as well and then born in the Cloud Cloud native, their customers still sort of like Do it yourself, you know, deployed the platform from us and then perform all the day today infrastructure management and keep planning around it. This one truly is a different shade or game changer. In the sense start, it's truly backup as a service, so no longer there's a customer need to worry about the infrastructure management aspect ofthe things. They just go into the marketplace as easy as a few clicks, deploy the solution on. Then they're open running in terms ofthe being able to back up and recover. So it's it's really the SAS model. The fact that we're embracing sass on our customers are heading in the direction is what truly differentiates this particular off >> so sight. Why why Google? Let's just start there is to know what you're hearing from customers. Be back. How come this is the first *** offering? Your >> long I think two things right. One is there are enterprises wear hearing more and more enterprises adopting, you know, Google Cloud as well. So this was obviously driven by some customers Summerlee customers asking for such a solution, so that always helps make a business case Right on then. The second one is you heard in the keynote this morning about Google being truly open, winding toward more with partners. And this is the result of one such strategic partnerships a Google sort of collab collaborating with co history and working together to get the solution toe and customer. So >> you see them is more partner friendly. Can you discern the difference between Google and other partners Air, You know, I'm looking for Okay, I heard it on stage. I mean, they're doing so you know, actions speak louder than words, But a za partner, do you discern >> that? I think it resonates well with me for just based on our experience with the whole launch and everything. I'll give you a couple of instances right on. This relates to the fact that you know, Google's acknowledging that they're also learning along with customers, especially the enterprise customers. So we have a number of enterprise customers and knowledge of how to work with them. And to be honest, you know, some of the things on their marketplace and other things required a close collaboration between us. Not everything was there out of the box and Google was a very willing partner. Toe, listen, tow us and collaborate with us on. I make things happen on the second aspect ofthe it really comes down to also the gold market benefits that we're beginning to see as part of that partnership because it's one thing to build a solution. But then taking it to their in customers and our mutual customers is also a big aspect of the partnership. >> Okay, I gotta ask you size. So I hear a lot. I don't have to back up my data. It's in the cloud. Explain our audience. The difference between sort of that statement and what you know, backup recovery, a data protection, modern data protection is all about Why can't I just back it up in the cloud and Google take care of it? >> Yeah, I think not just Google, but with all the clouds. What? What they provide is availability right on the fact that data stays in no multiple regions. But it's essentially the same data set that replicated across different zones are regions a CZ, they call it. But at the end of the day, you know customers want to be able to go back to a certain point in time because there are several reasons for it. One is human errors, you know. That's probably the number one cause of why you know, they they need data protection. But besides that, there's a reason to do step on a certain version ofthe the data is there's a reason John anonymized the data. So a lot of reasons to just, you know, go for a data protection solution beyond what the Cloud Windows offer it offer themselves available. >> One of things we hear is in a hybrid and multi cloud world. I've got my data and a lot of places. So if I can have something that is agnostic tall, those locations that companies like cohesive have done, how does this new SAS offering fit into all of those other environments? If I'm already cohesive customers, they're going to be a similar look and feel. And am I gonna understand that you know what? What? What's the same? What's different? >> Yeah, so we have ah, Helios, which is our SAS management portal. So that's what customers used today. For all they're both on premise as well as crowd deployments on the way it works is it provides you that truly I know single pane of glass is sort of very abuse word, but it really provides us a single view into all your environments across raiders, different deployments off cohesively, whether it's at the edge of the data center or in the cloud. And so in the service, we leverage the same, you know, Helios Banishment portal, but in a much more simply fired format because you're you're taking some off the, you know, administrative aspect away from the customers and having to just provide them just this. The service Functional lady off. Just backup in >> recovery. What is the pricing model for the cloud Backup service is a capacity based usage base monthly. How's it work? >> S Oh, it's truly a consumption based, more like everything else that we're aware off in the clouds. So the way it's priced is it's based on the consumption consumption on the service, the city service, and here's where we provide that benefit back to the inn customer in terms ofthe great deal application and the storage efficiency benefits that we offer provide a lot, you know, lower capacity that actually lands on the service. A supposed to you know what, maybe running in your primary environment. So we provide that benefit back to the customer in terms ofthe charging them on a usage based on consumption based model, in this case, based on the capacity that's landed on the service. And so it's again, like I said earlier, it's integrated with the Google billing. So when a customer looks at their monthly Google infra infrastructure costs, it also includes an additional line item for the cohesively service. So the customer at the end of the day just has to deal with their gcpd. >> So it's a true cloud cloud pricing model, absolute, which is which I say that because much, if not most, of the SAS products that you purchase are not what I would consider to cloud model You'LL you know, make the annual commitment or a multi year commitment. And as the vast majority of the SAS says, the infrastructure guys, they think, got it right. >> You could scale only one way up. Yeah, >> that's good. All right, so I give you closing thoughts on on Google Next your your announcement of the future for the city. >> The one thing that excited me from the keynote this morning was was Antos. I mean, they talked about how that could be a single control plane, not just for G c p, but potentially across other clouds, clouds as well and and even on trim on. That's where I think there is more synergy. There's more partnership because we excel in the data center we excel in the cloud on. So I'm looking forward to this partnership with Google to extend cloud backup service beyond what we have released today. >> Still, what you call the motion for the cloud that powerful concept and we know what the motion did for virtual ization. And so we'll see what at those could do for cloud and cloud management. So thanks very much for coming back And >> thanks for hosting his guys. Really a pleasure to be here. >> Good to see again. All right, keep it right to everybody. He watched the Cube live from Google next twenty eighteen I'm dying day Volante was to minimum John Furry is also here. We'LL be right back after this short break from Mosconi
