Miska's keynote v3 ghosting fix


 

>>Hello. I miss Caribbean, the principal Off Lens Open Source project and senior director off Engineering at Mirandes. I'm excited to be here today at launch back 2020 Virtual conference. I will be your guide, helping you to navigate the rough waters off opportunities and containers and show you the way how to take full advantage off this great new technology with help off lens. The Coburn Edie's idea. It's happening all around us. Containers and Coburn ET is everywhere. Every day, hundreds of thousands off people create new clusters. Develop containerized application on they deploy those applications on top of Cuban Edie's. It has become the golden standard for container orchestration. How did we get here? The industry has been very creative and innovative in ways how to burn it is has been marketed with the help off develops movement, empowering individual development teams leveraging 12 factor model on infrastructure. As a code principles, we have created the need for a system that is able to obstruct everything. That's one a single system to rule them all. Cooper needs has become this system. It has become the operating system for cloud. But hey, people say Coburn Ages is difficult and complex. Absolutely many people on organizations are struggling to adopt kubernetes at scale terrorist complexity on complexity on top of complexity. On top off this, you might need to unlearn some of the things you have used to do in the past. Having had chance to speak with hundreds off, Cooper needs users on operators, from beginners to ninja level hackers. I feel Coburn Edie's is not too difficult or complex. People will get this perception on Lee when they are using primitive or were limited tools for job, or if they have failed to address the needs off all different stakeholders. By using proper quality tools and products, we can truly harness the power of communities on radically improved the speed of business To get there. In my mind, we have deserved at least two important stakeholders. First, mhm. We have hopes and idea means who want to use system for centralized kubernetes cluster creation operations and management in a listen take care a lot about underlying infrastructure, security and conformance. The industry has been serving teas people very well. He has an amazing products for this segment. Dr Enterprise Container Cloud. It's a great example off such a product. Secondly, we have developers who are, in fact the consumers off. The clusters provided by the ops and I T at means they are the people who actually access the clusters on daily basis. Take deploy, run, managed, debug, inspect on observed the workloads running on top of communities. The availability and quality off tools and products for this segment has been lacking. See, very luckily, that's not the case anymore. And that's the focus off my talk today to take away. I want you to have from this simple unless we have quality tools and products for both off these important stakeholders, we might not get all the benefits we were looking for. Docker Enterprise Container Cloud. We'll get you on top and when combined with the product, I'm about to talk. Next. We'll take you where you wanna be. I'm so excited about this lens. The Cooper needs I D. I. D stands for integrated development environment. We could call it in the credit operations environment as well, but let's stick with I D for a little bit longer. No, If you would be doing non virtual conference, I would be as asking how many off you have heard or actually tried using less >>before. It's okay, Let's make make it interactive. We can still do it all right. I'm probably I would see something to 20% of people raising their hands. To be honest, I'm amazed how many people have started using lens already. It's been out on Lee for just six months or so. Lens combines all a sense of tools and technologies >>required for streamlining cloud native applicants and development on Day two operations. It's all you need to take control off Coburn. Edie's clusters on workloads running on top, for example, you might have find hard time trying to understand what is really going on in your clusters with lens. You will have complete situational awareness off all your clusters on work clothes, and you will understand what's going on on quickly. Take actions if needed. Lenses designed for developers who need to work with Cooper needs on a daily basis. If you have somebody who is just getting started, lens will lower the barrier of entry because it will let you explore your clusters on workloads very easy. Take action to try out different things on diesel eyes, everything in a way that makes sense on provides full context. If you are very experienced ninja level heavy user, you will get things done fast. In essence, by using lens, you will become more productive on the quality off life is improved a lot lenses. A stand alone desktop application for Mac OS Windows and Linux operating systems. It's free and fully open. Source under Emmett license. If you want to get started, simply download the lens application from Lens website and start adding your clusters. Now you might wonder. How does lend play together with Mirandes >>offering sheep code faster at Mirandes, we want to convert open source innovation in the customer value. We want to be best in the world. At this. We want to increase developer velocity to continuously deliver code faster for public and private clouds. And in order to do that, we want to put capable person in the center. We want to invest in products and technologies that will improve the developer productivity that speed sheep gold faster. To have speed, we got to get right amount off simplicity. Choice on security simplicity does not mean less features. It means amazing usability on developer experience for using complex on feature rich systems Under the hood. Security means invisible security, something that is built into the system from >>beginning on its part of its DNA, something that is automatically applied to the underlying infrastructure and software running on top without need for developers to worry about too much choice. It's include chance. You should be able to choose the parts you want to use, for example, choice of the infrastructure, cloud providers or even host operating system running on your machines. Everything in here comes to life with talker in the price container cloud. Combined with lens, it's the end to end solution for harnessing the power of kubernetes and radically improving the speed of business. >>All right, I hope you got the idea how lens will play together with Mirandes offering on a highly law. Now I'd like to talk more about lens features in detail. Let's kick off with multi cluster management. Unlike multi cluster management systems designed for hopes and ideas, New people peace is the Monte Cluster management from the developers point of view, take a nap. Any number >>of cabernet, these clusters to provide quick and easy way to switch cluster context on access workloads Running on top thes clusters may be the ones provide provided by their hopes and ideas mean people, but they might be clusters running locally, used in some other projects or use for hobby purposes. As an example, the clusters are added simply simply by importing the cube conflict file and selecting the cluster context. Once added, it's fast and easy to switch between clusters. Since the requirement for acting a cluster is just a cube. Conflict file lens works with any any certified Cooper needs distributions where user might have obtained to keep conflict. Five. For example, Documented price Container Cloud. You see T e. K s G. K. A. K s rancher opens it. Minnick YouTube many, many other flavors off uber Nitties They all work straight out off the box. The creating above lens is that you will get one unified I e across all your clusters. >>No matter what's the flavor on. There is absolutely nothing that you need to install in. Cluster is in itself is great because most off the developers we're talking about in here do not have sufficient right to install anything like this in their clusters. Since we're now talking about access control, let's discuss how the role based access control is taken in account with lens. It's all about uber needs built in role based access control. As you know, clusters may be configured to use any supported identity providers, since lens will authenticate uses the Cooper needs with Cuba conflict file Cooper needs are back is automatically enforced. This is also reflected on the user interface user. Will Onley see those resources they are allowed to access? Lens do not need admin level privileges, service accounts or any other solution that would by bus. The Cooper needs are back. Next. We have a smart terminal less has a built in smart terminal. It comes with bundled common line tools such as cube cattle on help. It's different from your native terminal because the smart terminal will always have cube cattle command available on bond. It will automatically >>switch the version off cube cattle to match the currently selected Cooper Needs Cluster a P I. If FBI compatible version is not found, it will be downloaded automatically in the background. In addition to making sure you are always using the right version off cube kuttel the Smart Terminal will automatically assigned the Cube conflict context to match your currently selected co Bernie. This cluster as a summary. When you use lens with building Smart Terminal, you are always using the right version off cube cattle and context. I feel there is still something more I want to share with you. Visualizations lenses Very diesel on There is a lot of detail in the user experience. One of the great features in Lens is that building in the creation with Prometheus to visualize everything. As you might know, people working on the ups and i d at me inside of things have learned to write complex Primedia Square ease. Most likely, they have created beautiful death sport to look at data. Looking at the cluster's from the bird's eye perspective. If you are a developer, you are interested in your own stuff. Bird side perspective might be nice, but it doesn't help you to debug and trouble. Suit your own application. You don't necessarily have access to or want to learn Prometheus to write your own queries on out of context that sports. That is why lens will provide automatically civilization for all supportive resource types including the aggregated Use it, >>David Little person. Or, to be honest, ops on Idea Means to will get all the data they need, always in the right context. The basic metrics include CPU memory on disk with total capacity actual use. It requests on limits. The unrest metrics include bytes sent success, failure on request and response to race. Both statistics also include network bytes sent and received. Persistent pulling. Unclaimed metrics include disk usage and capacity. Wow, that was a lot on. To be honest, we are just barely scratching the surface off the available features. Let's move on and talk about lens from the community on open source project perspective. We'll start with statistic, not because I like statistics in particular, but because this project has some mind blowing stats to share. Let's remind ourselves that lens was made open source just a half a year ago. Since then, over 600,000 downloads over 50,000 users over >>8000 star gazers on get top. The users come from all around the world. It's one off the fastest training open source projects on git hub and definitely in Cuba needs ecosystem. It's the number one e or u I or whatever you wanna call it for Cuban, it is on. If you are not using it yet, you're probably missing out some something great. What's coming on next? We are working hard every day to make lens better. Our focus as a leader in this open source project is to remain vendor Notre Look Ways for collaboration with other vendors in the cloud Native technology ecosystem on focus on making features that directing most value for our users. Against this background, the near future roadmap includes exciting features like extensive a P I. While the building features off, lens might feel great. It's just the beginning. Lens extensive a p I that is going to be a new feature released as part off Lens 4.0, we'll let you at custom visualizations on functionality to support your preferred development. Work flaws. The Extensions AP I will provide options for extensive creators to but directly into the lens You I we are already working with the number off cloud Native technology ecosystem vendors to get their technology is deeply integrated on therefore more accessible true lens, for example, on extension for a container >>image scanning technology vendor, I might add a warning icon next to a port or a deployment where vulnerable image is detected in a decent. This extension might provide more details about this vulnerability when the port or deployment is clicked. This is just a simple example, but I hope you get the idea on Really, this is just beginning. We want to >>bring entire Coburn Edie's ecosystem together in a listen to extensions. A p I. We will work on features to enhance Cooper needs Developer were close, both locally on remote, enable teamwork and naturally improve the usability on fixed box reported by our users. There are so many great things coming. It's impossible to list everything in here. If you are interested, please take a look at the epics listed on our guitar free ball. Once again, if you're not using lens already, you're probably missing out on something great. Download and get started today. For the most amazing entrant experience, check out the Docker Enterprise Container Cloud as well. I wish you all a great time with Coburn. Edie's I'm looking forward to meet you all in person someday. Take care. Bye bye

Laurie MacCarthy, Qualys | Qualys Security Conference 2019


 

>>from Las Vegas. It's the cues covering quality security Conference 2019. Bike. Wallace. >>Hey, welcome back it. Ready? Geoffrey here with the Q worth the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas for the quality security conference. This thing's been going on for 19 years. I had no idea. It's our first time here, but it's pretty interesting out. Felipe and the team have evolved this security company over a lot of huge technological changes and security changes, and they're still clipping along, doing a lot of cool things in cloud and open source. We're excited of our next guest. She's Laurie McCarthy, the EVP of worldwide field >>operations. Lori, great to see you. >>Thanks. Glad to be here. >>Absolutely. So first off, congratulations in doing some homework for this. I was going through the earnings call. The last turning call, which A was a nice earnings call. You're making money buying back stock. Also, you were promoted or the announcement of your promotion on that call and really some nice, complimentary words from Philippe and the team about the work that you've done actually >>very grateful. Thank you. And >>one of the things we >>talked about, which is unique in your background as you came from a customer. Not It's always a day ago. These shows we have people that I came from customers that went to the vendor, and then we have people that rest of Endor and they went over to the customers. There's a lot of that kind of movement, but he really complimented your execution at CVS as a big reason why you got the promotion that you did. So again. Congrats. But let's talk about, you know, kind of the CVS experience from when you were running it. Not when you're on the quality side. Yeah, that the threats. And CBS is in class nationwide, all kinds of stuff. >>Yeah, well, I mean, you know, just like any other company that's in that health care vertical, you've got so many different things to think about. Additionally, we were also in the retail vertical, so we had a lot of compliance. E's to worry about p c p c i p. I s O. A lot of the programs had been very much, uh, checkbox driven prior to the team that moved in there, including myself, and kind of changed that. So I helped to rebuild the vulnerability program there. And we started to do it in such a way that it was for the sake of security, not just checking a box. And we were really innovated how they do things. A lot of my friends are still there, and they have their own stock now, and we kind of brought everything in house. So a lot of that was outsourced. >>So what was the catalyst to make the change To move from beyond simple compliance and check in the box, Actually making a strategic part of the execution? >>Yeah, at the time and a new sea so had been put into place. And it was someone with that vision, and I think that's what really drove it. I came in just after that and was brought in on the premise that this is what we're going to change and move toward. So I was part of that process from that >>point, right? It clearly, qualities was part of the solution. So what? What did you use calls for their and how is the solution changed? You know, kind of >>so back then when >>you want to call it, >>we're talking. In 9 4010 2011 Right around there. If you opened up the quality platform, you had three things to choose from. Versus today, when you log in, you've got 18 or more, depending. And S O CVS used a little bit of all of that with the mainstay having been the vulnerability management. So I ran to full vulnerability management programs there because we had to keep our pharmacy benefit company and our retail companies separate. So I sort of did double duty, >>Right? So what you doing now on field operations? >>So is the E V p of worldwide for Wallace. I'm running all of the technical account managers for our company way have a unique sales model here, so it's a little different. So everyone in the field to service is our clients rolls up to me, and then that also includes some additional teams, like our federal team, our strategic alliances team and also our subject matter experts >>today. So you said a couple >>times you guys have your account management structure is different than maybe traditional. Kind of >>walk through. Yeah, absolutely. So versus a traditional sales model. We have a salesperson. You have client service person. You have a technical, you know, social architect kind of person. We service our clients all with one person. We have a technical account manager. We break them up into two flavors. We have a presales who are very technical folks that go out and help us get our business. And then those accounts get handed over to our post sales, who are basically the farmers in our business, maintaining and growing our existing clients. What that allows for, which is really special, is we can go in and really build a relationship built on trust and understanding and strategy, because we bring people into our company like myself who have done this, who have sat on that side of the table. So you know, someone comes in and says What? You know, how would you like to buy one of my gizmos? It's a lot different conversation when it's like, Look at what I do with this gizmo like it's amazing. So it's It's kind of a similar feeling that you guys >>have your kind of platform with application strategy enables you to kind of do a land and expand, and in fact you even a something that people can try for free. >>Yeah, absolutely. So we review our model as, like, try and buy. So for both our non clients are freemium service is that we offer our, you know, out of this world for people being able to just log in without even being a client and start to evaluate their environment. And then when they see the value that we bring, it's very easy to translate that into a buy and then likewise, for our clients who sign up for a service or two enabling additional trials and having them work within our new service is as they're being rolled out, is very, very simple, the way our platform is built. So it's just it's a really effortless, very natural progression of business that we that we built. And it's one of the reasons that I work here because as a client, I really enjoyed my relationship with this company because it never felt like I was being sold anything. It always felt like I was being handed solutions to my challenges, and that's what we tried to do. And that's how I lead everyone today is Let's get out, Let's listen, let's strategize and let's see where we fit in with folks, right strategies for, you know, the coming >>future. So must be a team >>approach, though, right? Because one person you know to say, trying to manage the CVS account, that would be, >>Oh, so we have a little bit of a break out in our post side. We have what a new role that I helped get implemented here at the company, which is a major account solution architect they handle are bigger, more complex accounts. So as our platform has matured, so have our clients are bigger. Clients are using more of our platform. They're using it in a more expert way. So we had to answer that with the right kind of people who could speak to that expert level of usage and be able to finance that. So that's a little bit part of it. And on our bigger clients, we do have more of a team approach. We have a product management, a project management organization. The S M E team are subject matter. Experts roll up under me. They're experts in each of our solutions. So it's a sizeable team and they are liaise between product management, engineering our fields and our clients. And that's another support mechanism. And then our support at Wallace is also something that augments our technical account managers jobs on a daily basis. >>So new opportunity with a sure that was recently announced a bundle. Yeah, you're bundled in kind of under the covers, not not really under the covers. So a little bit about how that's gonna work from kind of an account management and and from your kind of point of view, >>So it's It's actually not gonna change much of anything on the way that we are. Mom are our model is a hybrid, right? So we have direct sales that we have indirect sales, even honor in direct sales through partners through relationships like we've just built with azure MSs peas and reach whatever. We still treat every end customer and every partner like a direct customer. So we work very hard to educate her partners, to work with them, to make sure they're successful with our clients. And we're also treating our clients who are through that avenue the same way. So it's it's just gonna blend right in with what we >>d'oh Yeah, that's great, but hopefully it's a sales channel and they get more than they just bought it under the covers and start implementing. >>It's easy for them to jump in with us. And then from there we can build those relationships with perhaps, you know, prospects and folks that aren't our clients now and be able to show them more things that we do. Besides just, you know, the one thing that they might be signing up for at that time, >>right? Right. Okay, great. I want to shift gears a little bit. >>We had windy by front earlier from from Nutanix. When he's a fantastic lady, yes, and she is super super involved in in girls Who Code and women in Tech and trying to drive that kind of forward along a number of parameters everything from the board to getting people jobs, training little girls to staying at staying in the industry. I know that's a big, passionate area of yours. I wonder if you could share some of the activities you guys were doing around women. I could think more specifically, and security is a subset of all tech, but share the some of the activities you have going on. >>So personally, I try to be very involved locally. Four Children. One of them is a daughter. She's too little, quite yet for getting into tact. I have two older sons and s so I try to be really involved in middle school high school. Hey, put me in, Coach, I'll come in and talk to the kids. Generating interest in getting into this field at a young age is what we need to do. They're still aren't enough gals and, honestly, guys heading into our business in college. So I I really take it upon myself as a security professional to try to promote that specifically around women. I'm really pleased that our company supports an organization which I've been a part of for a while, and that's the Executive Woman's Forum, and we sponsor their conference every year, and we sponsor events with them. I personally am part of their mentor program, so that allows me a channel. Thio have ah, unassigned person to work with, and I really enjoy that, and our company itself is just very excellent at promoting and enabling women within our organization. And it's another reason that I really loved working here for the past eight years, >>right? Well, from the top. Because the board, I think, is either for more than half. Yemen, which is certainly half >>women CEO, is very supportive. Our presidents, two men way have a great environment. Thio grow women professionally here in my company, >>right? That's great. So, ah, year from now, when we come back, what are we gonna be talking about? What's kind of on a road map? For the next year, >>we're going to be talking about our data leak efforts, or Sim. We're gonna be talking about our improved Edie, our capabilities that are really gonna put us in the position to be a major player in that market. Um, and who knows? We have such a quick turnaround of innovation here and what we do by the way we do our business. So starting with the technical account manager's boots on the ground with our clients, when we're there listening to all of their challenges, we're also taking that back, and that drives our innovation that the company so we hear what they need, and that's what we provide. So as things changed, we're going to continue to do that digital transformation, of course, is is making that something that we have to be even quicker about. And I think we're doing a good job >>keeping up well. 19 years and counting, making money. Find back, buying back shares to help everyone else's stock delusion. So not that, but nothing but good success. It's all right. Well, Laurie, thanks for taking a few minutes of your day. And again, congratulations on your promotion as well as a terrific event. >>Thank you very much. >>All right. She's Laurie. I'm Jeff. You're watching the Cube with the quality security conference at the Bellagio and lovely >>Las Vegas. Thanks for watching. We'll see you next time.

Gary Cifatte, Candy.com | Boomi World 2019


 

>>live from Washington, D. C. >>It's the Cube >>covering Bumi World 19. Do you buy movie? >>Hey, welcome back to the Cube. We've got candy. That's right. I am Lisa Martin in Washington, D. C. At booming World 19 with John Ferrier and John and I are excited to be talking next with a chief technology officer of candy dot com. Gary, welcome to the Cube. >>Thank you for having me great to be here. >>So tell our audience about candy dot com Guinea all that you want dot com cool stuff. >>It is cool stuff. It is the endless. I'll just like going to the supermarket and never runs. Oh, it's absolutely perfect. That's actually how we started knowing that there was so much candy out there that people wanted in the lines just weren't long enough to put him in, no matter where you checked out, and we started off being the online candy store, which was a foot in the door, but it was a very small opening at that time. >>One of the things you said when I met you today whilst eating candy that you guys brought thank you very much for that was very appropriate. Um, was that candy? Is recession proof? >>It is. It's it's ah, you know, good times, bad times. You know, people are gonna have birthday parties. People get married holidays. They're going to come. You know, you've had a really great day. It's a candy bar. You know, you've had a really bad day. It's the candy bar. That's just it's an impulse buy, but it's an impulse buy with your favorite. I mean, it's something to comfort more than anything else, actually. And the technology side talk about how you guys were organized. What? Some of the challenges and how does Bumi fit in? Take us through the journey. Sure, when we started out, we thought, How hard could it be doing? Data entry will get the orders. They'll come across, we'll have some people. Instrument to the system will start filling up, you know, and then everything else will take care of itself. And within about a few minutes, we realized that that was probably not going to work. It was not scalable because first of all, data entry is air pro. You know, if you have someone actually trying to do with their, it's not gonna work for us. So we realized that there was a mechanism out there with Edie I and we went to 1/3 party provider to help us with the FBI. And that's how we started with the first couple of integrations and it was good. It got us off the ground and got us further into that door. >>So you started with, um, how many different partners trading partners take us back to kind of the last 10 years of candy dot com and how that Trading Partner Network has grown. >>Oh, it's like the journey. It's still we starts with the first step. We had one that was interested, one that wanted to work with Austin, and we started to do the work with them and figure out how to handle it. But they had multiple divisions, so, you know, there was only one that was 32 actual integrations that had to be done on being a traditional brick and mortar. It's very competitive. So once the word got out that they were work with us, there was a couple other. So we had six pretty big ones lined up early on that we needed to have integrated in up and running very quickly. >>And from a digital perspective, what were some of the initial system's applications that you implemented just start being able to manage and track those trading partner interactions to ensure that you're able to deliver? You know what? The candy, the candy demand that you need to fill? >>It was, sadly, a lot of C S V. A lot of email, a lot of phone calls back and forth. There was a lot of hours, and it was one those ones where we would really just bring in temps and try to keep up with it did not really have a repeatable process or a good technical footprint of what we needed to d'oh way didn't know what we didn't know when we started, and we very rapidly came to become aware of what we needed to do. >>So starting with air P Net sweet brought net Sweden two years ago. Tell us about that and what you thought was gonna solve all of our problems. Well, that's why it's >>a great package because it brought us both order management and it brought us here. Pee in. There were so many models and so much technology behind it and they have a warehouse module. There's, like all we could grow forever With this, it will never be bounded. This is gonna be fantastic. But what we forgot is that it was only as good as the data in there. And if we're using as a manual data entry, it's not going to meet our needs. We needed to come up with a better way in a more efficient way to get the data in. And this was still back in the day when we're trying to fulfill something within a week, much less where we're at today. >>Okay, so where does Bumi fit into play? >>We realized, unfortunately that even when you have an integration up and running and as good as the integration is, some of your trading partners will have changes. They're going to give you a different reference number. They're gonna give you a different requirement. They're gonna make something that was optional now mandatory. So we had problems because it wasn't just also that was impacting everyone that was doing an integration with that trading partner had it. So if I had outsourced it and there was 100 people that had that map. We were one of 100. Sometimes we were one, and sometimes we were as far away from one is possible and you understand that, and you appreciate it because there's only a finite number of hours to get things done. So we understood that to be really profitable and get to the level of service we needed to control the data. And that's when we decided that we needed to bring the E. D I and house. >>So when you were looking for the right integration partner, what was it about Bhumi from a technology perspective and a business perspective that really differentiated it. >>First and foremost, the number one requirement had to talk to nets. We had a have a native nets. We'd integration if it did not talk to net sweet. It wasn't gonna make it onto our plate because we weren't gonna spend the time to reinvent the wheel when obviously the wheel was out there. We had actually done that once before, and it was successful but painful. And there's people out there who build a connection and work to silver partners like blooming in the platinum partners that can go out and they can actually keep up with the release before it comes out. And you're being proactive by the reactive from a business need. It was We can't drop data. We need to be efficient. We need to be timely. We need visibility. And looking at Bumi, it met all those needs. We had a connection into nets. We had a reporting tool. We had error messages coming back. We had everything that we needed to manage our own world and take control of it. Or so we thought >>that look. Okay, so get this implemented. What sort of opportunities is the start opening up? You talked about control there, or so we thought. What have you been able to unlock where control is concerned? In the last few years, >>what we didn't realize with what we were doing is that way. We're just basically turning on everything and trying to run this efficiently and fast as possible. And that was really the wrong approach to take what we needed to do it as some governance to it as some logic to it, too, you know, not compete with jobs. There's there's a finite number of avenues into the back end system, you need to utilize it. But there was also tools that we found out inside this system that handled things like error trapping and retrial, logic and time outs and stuff like that. And as we worked with the subject matter experts at Boom, as we worked with the people at Nets, we in our account managers who would show us things and help us long. We learned a lot more about him. When we went live back in February of 2016 we were very excited. We did 1000 orders into our system and one day and we thought, How phenomenal is this? I mean, 1000 orders. How many more orders could you actually look for? And we very soon realized that there was a lot more orders willing to come into our system if we could handle it. >>So what? So when you first started with Bhumi went from some number 2 1000 orders today. What was that original number that you guys were able to handle when it was more of a manual process? >>It depend on how many attempts we could hire that sometimes it was 100 orders we got in. Sometimes it was 100% dependent on people. Also depend on someone, Remember, understands the spreadsheet. >>The Sun's painful, >>painful and not really easy to plan for. >>But you discovered pretty quickly you went from I won't say 0 to 1000. But somewhere in between that realized tha the capabilities, though of this system was gonna allow you to get 20,000 orders per day. Where was the demand coming from? Was it coming from trading partners was coming from their customers? Was it coming from your internal team seeing Hey, guys, I think there's a lot more power here than we originally thought. >>Well, success begets success because we were able to get an order in now in a timely fashion and ship it out there. All of a sudden, I realized we were shipping orders within 48 to 72 hours. It wasn't taking 10 days anymore, so we had repeat customers, which obviously makes your numbers go up. And then, as you know, your experience is good and you share it because social media is the weight of the world All the sudden, you know if if you tell two friends and they tell two friends we start getting more volume. Damn white starts happening is someone realizes they're losing market share of their brick and mortar website. And who was fulfilling the orders for them if they're doing so well and we're losing business and they start knocking on the door saying what? We'd like to work with you as well. And the other thing, too, is just timing. In the United States, it's pretty warm between April and October, and the bulk of perishable and heat sensitive product will ship through one of our warehouses because we have the thermal controls in the programs in place to give a good experience to make sure the product arrives the way it's supposed to be treated. >>Yeah, you were mentioning that when you were on stage this morning with Mandy Dolly Well, Mami CMO and Jason Maynard from Net Sweet that there are obviously, if you order some chocolate. I wanted to get there in the exact state in which I saw it online, right? But there's you've gotta have a lot of access, invisibility and systems to be able to help you facilitate that temperature control, depending on the type of product. >>Absolutely. So we're very proud of the fact that, you know, we're temperature controlled where humidity controlled were suf certified. We've done everything the right way to make sure that what we do is gonna be the best experience that your food is safe. Because, Paramount, the last thing we ever want to do is to keep a product of someone's gonna make your child sex because, you know, you don't want anyone to get sick. But the worst feeling is apparent is when your kid doesn't feel well. So we understand that Andi have a phenomenal staff. Are Q A team will go through and we have ways to test the product to get to the melting point. And we know different products melted different temperatures, and we determine what those temperatures are. We build those thresholds we do calls out to get the weather. No, I'm shipping it from my location to you. What's the temperature of my It doesn't matter if it's cold at your place. It is 90 where I'm shipping it from. So we look at what is it now? Where is it going? What's it gonna be the next few days? How big is it? You know how much product is in there with that? That isn't heat sensitive. And we have a pretty complex algorithm that we put in place That has really enabled us to handle the summer months and give a good product because, I mean a lot of people like s'mores, but they don't want the pre melted chocolate showing up at their house. >>Would agree. That takes the fun out of the bonfire part, right? Exactly. So let's talk about the people transformation because you were saying your 100% dependent on manual Somebody even sending the spreadsheet little into star inputting data to process X number of orders per day went from almost 0 to 1000 overnight with Bhumi, then saw this capacity for 20,000. How have has your team has other business units within candy like finance? How are they benefiting from all of this? What a presume is massive workforce productivity gains that you're giving everybody? >>Absolutely. It was a great problem tohave because as we got bigger and we started getting more and more orders than we got more and more invoices and you know, we got more and more checks in which we always think it's a good thing, but those checks need to be reconciled. They have to be reconciled against the transaction Inside the Nets week. It's no exaggeration that we would have pages printed out with a ruler going down and highlighting one by one on the invoice to make sure nothing was omitted. And we were spending an individual spent an eight hour day, three days a week, just going through direct missile. One invoice that was coming in and we would get two or three a week from them. So it was painful and again also error prone. And these people are very creative, very smart, and they offer so much more to the business that it was a waste of their time in a waste of their intellect. S o del. Booming, we found out, is not just any eyes phenomenal, Aditi, I but it has all these other tools and won. The tools we had was to be able to take the remittance file from the financial institution, reconcile it against the invoice is in the system and create a C S V import that would run that we have a script for that created a cash payment in our system that would actually close out the invoices and be paid so that we don't take care of it. It was done, and finance would basically get the file and e mail to us. We would file it back and they'd run an import. So instead of 250 hours a week, it was five minutes of file. >>That's a dramatics saving hundreds of hours a month, but also faster time to revenue recognition. >>That's a big one, you know, because when you try to get people discounts or give them brakes or if your terms are out there, it's nice to get it in there and keep your system's clean, because you also have to answer to the end of the month. You know you want to close the books and everything in manual processes. Air one the few things that you can't just throw more horsepower at. >>I'm glad you brought up, though from a resource kind of reallocation. Perspective is, these folks, in particular areas of the business, have value that they're not able before weren't able to really unlock and deliver. Now, with the technology in place, they're able to probably focus on more strategic areas of the business or more strategic projects. I also imagine your sales. We said faster time to revenue in revenue recognition, but big boost to candy dot comes sales. Since you've implemented the technology >>direct, I mean the sales numbers have just grown. I mean, as much as we do. No do are forecasting and think where it's going to go. Wee wee drastically underestimated this year. The summer was very, very good to us. Our first year under booming, we ran for 11 months. We did a little over 600,000 orders for that first year. In comparison, in June, July and August this year, we did over a 1,000,000 orders. That's a lot of chocolate. So a >>lot of candy, >>most certainly >>busier time, period. I mean Halloweens in a few weeks, Christmas is coming. How does that compare in terms of like the Flux >>way? Have a peek? Obviously, Halloween Halloween is obviously the time, of course. November 1st, our orders are zero because everyone walks in with a pillowcase of candy from their kids to the office, so it literally goes from a 1,000,000 miles an hour or two nothing, and it's it's kind of eerie. But throughout the summer we stay very, very busy because a lot of the market places don't have the facility and listen, they're great, you know, it's one stop shopping. They have everything, but everything is in a warehouse in that entire warehouse is not properly controlled to handle food products. So they decided it was an advantageous for them to ship, you know, during the summer, and it's poorly monitored as a summer Shipp program. But it's really more of a heat sensitive program because we'll add the thermal product to protect the thermal packaging to protect the product, even in February. I mean, there's some spots in Florida in Texas at a pretty one that you want to protect the item. So it's a heat sensitive program that we're very proud of, and we keep advancing and we keep growing. And, you know, I have. I'm very fortunate. I have a great team. I mean, we're not gonna call out, you know, like Jim and Scott, because that would be wrong to deal with. These guys have been with me from the start, and they put the E. T. I in place. They put the scripting in place that the guys were just, you know, rock stars on. Do I look good because of their effort? And I'm very, very proud of the team we've assembled that does this to make sure that you're and satisfaction is always met. >>Awesome story. So I imagine you know, when we hear like, four out of five dentists recommend this kind of bet. Is the fifth dentist recommending candy dot com? Is that where that guy's been? >>Yeah, he's got four kids >>going through college and >>everything, so he figures candy dot com to go. Way to make the money to make sure those tuition skip. >>All right. Well, Gary, it's been a pleasure to have you on the keys. Thank you for sharing what you're doing with bhumi at candy dot com. We appreciate and thanks for all the candy. >>Oh, our pleasure. Thank you very much for having been a great couple of days. I'm glad to be part of it. >>All right. Our pleasure for John Ferrier. I'm Lisa Martin. You're watching the Cube from Bhumi World 19. Thanks for watching

Prasad Sankaran & Larry Socher, Accenture | Accenture Cloud Innovation Day 2019


 

>> from atop the Salesforce Tower in downtown San Francisco. It's the Q covering Accenture Innovation Date brought to you by ex center >> Hey, welcome back Your body jefe Rick here from the Cube were high atop San Francisco in the essential innovation hub. It's in the middle of the Salesforce Tower. It's a beautiful facility. They think you had it. The grand opening about six months ago. We're here for the grand opening. Very cool space. I got maker studios. They've got all kinds of crazy stuff going on. But we're here today to talk about Cloud in this continuing evolution about cloud in the enterprise and hybrid cloud and multi cloud in Public Cloud and Private Cloud. And we're really excited to have a couple of guys who really helping customers make this journey, cause it's really tough to do by yourself. CEOs are super busy. They worry about security and all kinds of other things. So centers, often a trusted partner. We got two of the leaders from center joining us today's Prasad Sankaran. He's the senior managing director of Intelligent Cloud infrastructure for Center Welcome and Larry Soccer, the global managing director. Intelligent cloud infrastructure offering from central gentlemen. Welcome. I love it. It intelligent cloud. What is an intelligent cloud all about? Got it in your title. It must mean something pretty significant. >> Yeah, I think First of all, thank you for having us, but you're absolutely Everything's around becoming more intelligent around using more automation. And the work that, you know we delivered to our clients and cloud, as you know, is the platform to which all of our clients are moving. So it's all about bringing the intelligence not only into infrastructure, but also into cloud generally. And it's all driven by software, >> right? It's just funny to think where we are in this journey. We talked a little bit before we turn the cameras on and there you made an interesting comment when I said, You know, when did this cloud for the Enterprise start? And you took it back to sass based applications, which, >> you know, you were sitting in the sales force builder. >> That's true. It isn't just the tallest building in here, and everyone all right, everyone's >> had a lot of focus on AWS is rise, etcetera. But the real start was really getting into sass. I mean, I remember We used to do a lot of Siebel deployments for CR M, and we started to pivot to sales, for some were moving from remedy into service. Now I mean, we went through on premise collaboration, email todo 360 5 So So we've actually been at it for quite a while in the particularly the SAS world. And it's only more recently that we started to see that kind of push to the, you know, the public pass, and it's starting to cloud native development. But But this journey started, you know, it was that 78 years ago that we really start to see some scale around it >> and tell me if you agree. I think really, what? The sales forces of the world and the service now is of the world off. 3 65 kind of broke down some of those initial barriers which were all really about security and security. Security secure. It's always too here where now security is actually probably an attribute >> and loud can brink Absolutely. In fact, I'm in those barriers took years to bring down. I still saw clients where they were forcing salesforce tor service. Now to put you know instances on Prime, and I think I think they finally woke up toe. You know, these guys invested ton in their security organizations. You know, there's a little of that needle in the haystack. You know, if you breach a data set, you know what you're getting after. But when you happen to sail sports, it's a lot harder. And so you know. So I think that security problems, I've certainly got away. We still have some compliance, regulatory things, data sovereignty. But I think security and not not that it's all by any means that you know, it's always giving an ongoing problem. But I think they're getting more comfortable with their data being up in the public domain, right? Not public. >> I think it also help them with their progress towards getting cloud native. So, you know, you pick certain applications which were obviously hosted by sales force and other companies, and you did some level of custom development around it. And now I think that's paved the way for more complex applications and different workloads now going into, you know, the public cloud and the private cloud. But that's the next part of the journey, >> right? So Let's back up 1/2 a step cause then, as you said, a bunch of stuff then went into Public Cloud, right? Everyone's putting in AWS and Google. Um, IBM has got a public how there was a lot more. They're not quite so many as there used to be. Um, but then we ran into a whole new home, Those of issues, right, Which is kind of opened up this hybrid cloud. This multi cloud world, which is you just can't put everything into a public clouds there certain attributes that you need to think about and yet from the application point of view, before you decide where you deploy that. So I'm just curious. If you can share now, would you guys do with clients? How should they think about applications? How, after they think about what to deploy where I >> think I'll start in the, You know, Larry has a lot of expertise in this area. I think you know, we have to obviously start from an application centric perspectives. You got to take a look at you know where your applications have to live water. What are some of the data implications on the applications or do you have by way of regulatory and compliance issues? Or do you have to do as faras performance because certain applications have to be in a high performance environment? Certain other applications don't think a lot of these factors will then drive where these applications need to recite. And then what we're seeing in today's world is really accomplish. Complex, um, situation where you have a lot of legacy, but you also have private as well as public cloud. So you approach it from an application perspective. >> Yeah. I mean, if you really take a look at Army, you look at it centers clients, and we were totally focused on up into the market Global 2000 savory. You know, clients typically have application portfolios ranging from 520,000 applications. And really, I mean, if you think about the purpose of cloud or even infrastructure for that, they're there to serve the applications. No one cares if your cloud infrastructure is not performing the absolute. So we start off with an application monetization approach and ultimately looking, you know, you know, with our tech advisory guys coming in, there are intelligent engineering service is to do the cloud native and at mod work our platforms. Guys, who do you know everything from sales forward through ASAP. They should drive a strategy on how those applications going to evolve with its 520,000 and determined hey, and usually using some like the six orders methodology. And I'm I am I going to retire this Am I going to retain it? And I'm gonna replace it with sass. Am I gonna re factor in format? And it's ultimately that strategy that's really gonna dictate a multi in and, you know, hybrid cloud story. So it's based on the applications data, gravity issues where they gonna reside on their requirements around regulatory, the requirements for performance, et cetera. That will then dictate the cloud strategies. I'm you know, not a big fan of going in there and just doing a multi hybrid cloud strategy without a really good up front application portfolio approach, right? How we're gonna modernize that >> it hadn't had a you segment. That's a lot of applications. And you know, how do you know the old thing? How do you know that one by that time, how do you help them pray or size? Where they should be focusing on. Yes, >> it. Typically, what we do is work with our clients to do a full application portfolio analysis, and then we're able to then segment the applications based on, you know, important to the business and some of the factors that both of us mentioned. And once we have that, then we come up with an approach where certain sets of applications have moved to sass certain other applications you moved past. So you know, you're basically doing the re factoring and the modernization, and then certain others, you know, you can just, you know, lift and shift. So it's really a combination off both modernization as well as migration. It's a combination off that, but to do that, you have initially look at the entire set of applications and come up with that approach. >> I'm just curious where within that application assessment, where is cost savings? Where is, uh, this is just old and where is opportunities to innovate faster? Because we know a lot of lot of talk really. Days has cost savings, but what the real advantages is execution speed if you can get it. >> If >> you could go back three or four years and we had there was a lot of CEO discussions around cost savings. I'm not really have seen our clients shift. It costs never goes away, obviously right. But there's a lot greater emphasis now on business agility. You know, howto innovate faster, get, get new capabilities, market faster to change my customer experience. So it's really I t is really trying to step up and, you know, enabled the business toe to compete in the marketplace. So we're seeing a huge shift in emphasis or focus at least starting with, you know, how do I get better business agility outta leverage to cloud and cloud native development to get there upper service levels? Actually, we started seeing increase on Hey, you know, these applications need to work. It's actress, So obviously cost still remains a factor, but we seem much more, you know, much more emphasis on agility, you know, enabling the business on giving the right service levels of right experience to the user. Little customers. Big pivot there, >> Okay. And let's get the definitions out because you know a lot of lot of conversation about public clouds. Easy private clouds, easy but hybrid cloud and multi cloud and confusion about what those are. How do you guys define them? How do you help your customers think about the definition? Yes, >> I think it's a really good point. So what we're starting to see is there were a lot of different definitions out there. But I think as I talk to my clients and our partners, I think we're all starting to come toe. You know, the same kind of definition on multi cloud. It's really about using more than one cloud. But hybrid, I think, is a very important concept because hybrid is really all about the placement off the workload or where your application is going to run on. And then again, it goes to all of these points that we talked about data, gravity and performance and other things. Other factors. But it's really all about where do you place the specific workload >> if you look at that, so if you think about public, I mean obviously gives us the innovation of the public providers. You look at how fast Amazon comes out with new versions of Lambda etcetera, so that's the innovations. There obviously agility. You could spend up environments very quickly which is, you know, one of the big benefits of it. The consumption economic models. So that is the number of drivers that are pushing in the direction of public. You know, on the private side, they're still it's quite a few benefits that don't get talked about as much. Um, so you know, if you look at it performance, you know, if you think the public world, you know, although they're scaling up larger T shirts, et cetera, they're still trying to do that for a large array of applications on the private side, you can really Taylor somethingto very high performance characteristics. Whether it's you know, 30 to 64 terabyte Hana, you can get a much more focused precision environment for business critical workloads like that article, article rack. You know, the Duke clusters everything about fraud analysis. So that's a big part of it. Related to that is the data gravity that Prasad just mentioned. You know, if I've got a 64 terrified Hana database, you know, sitting in my private cloud, it may not be that convenient to go and put get that data shared up in red shift or in Google's tensorflow. So So there's some data gravity out. Networks just aren't there. The Laden sea of moving that stuff around is a big issue. And then a lot of people of investments in their data centers. I mean, the other piece, that's interesting. His legacy, you know, You know, as we start to look at the world a lot, there's a ton of Could still living in, You know, whether it's you, Nick system, that IBM mainframes. There's a lot of business value there, and sometimes the business cases aren't aren't necessarily there toe to replace them. Right. And in world of digital, the decoupling where I can start to use micro service is we're seeing a lot of trends. We worked with one hotel to take the reservation system. You know, Rapid and Micro Service is, um, we then didn't you know, open shift couch base, front end. And now when you go against, you know, when you go and browsing properties, you're looking at rates you actually going into distributed database cash on, you know, in using the latest cloud native technologies that could be dropped every two weeks or every three or four days for my mobile application and It's only when it goes, you know, when the transaction goes back, to reserve the room that it goes back there. So we're seeing a lot of power with digital decoupling, but we still need to take advantage of, you know, we've got these legacy applications. So So the data centers air really were trying to evolve them. And really, just, you know, how do we learn everything from the world of public and struck to bring those saints similar type efficiencies to the to the world of private? And really, what we're saying is this emerging approach where I can start to take advantage of the innovation cycles that land is that you know, the red shifts the azure functions of the public world. But then maybe keep some of my more business critical regulated workloads. You know, that's the other side of the private side, right? I've got G X p compliance. If I've got hip data that I need to worry about GDP are you know, the whole set of regular two requirements Over time, we do anticipate the public guys will get much better and more compliant. In fact, they made great headway already, but they're Still not a number of clients are still, you know, not 100% comfortable from rail client's perspective. >> Gotta meet Teresa Carlson. She'll change him. Who runs that AWS Public Sector is doing amazing things, obviously with big government contracts. But but you raise real inching point later. You almost described what I would say is really a hybrid application in this thing. This hotel example that you use because it's is, you know, kind of break in the application and leveraging micro service is to do things around the core that allowed to take advantage of some this agility and hyper fast development, yet still maintain that core stuff that either doesn't need to move Works fine. Be too expensive. Drea Factor. It's a real different weight. Even think about workloads and applications into breaking those things into bits. >> And we see that pattern all over the place. I'm gonna give you the hotel Example Where but finance, you know, look at financial service. Is retail banking so open banking a lot. All those rito applications are on the mainframe. I'm insurance claims and and you look at it, the business value, replicating a lot of like the regulatory stuff, the locality stuff. It doesn't make sense to write it. There's no rule inherent business values of I can wrap it, expose it and you know the micro service's architecture now. D'oh cloud native front end. That's gonna give me a 360 view a customer, Change the customer experience. You know, I've got a much you know, I can still get that agility. The the innovation cycles by public. Bye bye. Wrapping my legacy environment >> in person, you rated jump in and I'll give you something to react to, Which is which is the single glass right now? How do I How did I manage all this stuff now? Not only do I have distributed infrastructure now, I've got distributed applications and the thing that you just described and everyone wants to be that single pane of glass Everybody wants to be the app that's upon everybody. Screen. How are you seeing people deal with the management complexity of these kind of distributed infrastructures? If you will Yeah, >> I think that that's that's an area that's, ah, actually very topical these days because, you know, you're starting to see more and more workers. Goto private cloud and so you've got a hybrid infrastructure you're starting to see move movement from just using the EMS to, you know, the cantinas and Cuban Edie's. And, you know, we talked about Serval s and so on. So all of our clients are looking for a way, and you have different types of users as well. Yeah, developers. You have data scientists. You have, you know, operators and so on. So they're all looking for that control plane that allows them access and a view toe everything that is out there that is being used in the enterprise. And that's where I think you know, a company like Accenture were able to use the best of breed toe provide that visibility to our clients. >> Yeah. I mean, you hit the nail on the head. It's becoming, you know, with all the promise of cloud and all the power. And these new architectures is becoming much more dynamic, ephemeral, with containers and kubernetes with service computing that that one application for the hotel, they're actually started, and they've got some actually, now running a native us of their containers and looking at serverless. So you gonna even a single application can span that and one of things we've seen is is first. You know, a lot of our clients used to look at, you know, application management, you know, different from their their infrastructure. And the lines are now getting very blurry. You need to have very tight alignment. You take that single application. You know, if any my public side goes down or my mid tier with my you know, you know, open shipped on VM where it goes down on my back and mainframe goes down. Or the networks that connected to go down the devices that talked it. It's a very well, despite the power, very complex environment. So what we've been doing is first we've been looking at, you know, how do we get better synergy across what we you know, application service is teams that do the application manager an optimization cloud infrastructure, you know, how do we get better alignment that are embedded security, You know, how do you know what are managed to Security Service's and bringing those together? And then what we did was we looked at, you know, we got very aggressive of cloud for a strategy and, you know, how do we manage the world of public. But when looking at the public providers of hyper scale er's and how they hit incredible degrees of automation, we really looked at, said and said, Hey, look, you gotta operate differently in this new world. What can we learn from how the public guys they're doing that? We came up with this concept We call it running different. You know, how do you operate differently in this new multi speed? You know, you know, hot, very hybrid world across public, private demon, legacy environment and started looking say OK, what is it that they do? You know, first they standardize, and that's one of the big challenges you know, going to almost all of our clients in this a sprawl. And you know, whether it's application sprawl, its infrastructure, sprawl and >> my business is so unique. The Larry no business out there has the same process that we have. So we started make you know how to be >> standardized like center hybrid cloud solution apart with HP. Envy em where we, you know, how do we that was an example. So we can get thio because you can't automate unless you standardise. So that was the first thing you know, standardizing service catalog. Standardizing that, um, you know, the next thing is the operating model. They obviously operate differently. So we've been putting a lot of time and energy and what I call a cloud and agile operating model. And also a big part of that is truly you hear a lot about Dev ops right now, but truly putting the security and and operations into Deb set cops of bringing, you know, the development in the operations much tied together. So spending a lot of time looking at that and transforming operations re skilling the people you know, the operators of the future aren't eyes on glass there. Developers, they're writing the data ingestion, the analytic algorithms, you know, to do predictive operations. They're writing the automation script to take work, you know, test work out. Right. And over time, they'll be tuned in the air. Aye, aye. Engines to really optimize the environment and then finally has presided. Looted thio. Is that the platforms that control planes? That doing that? So, you know, we What we've been doing is we've had a significant investments in the eccentric cloud platform, our infrastructure automation platforms and then the application teams with it with our my wizard framework, and we've been starting to bring that together. You know, it's an integrated control plane that can plug into our clients environments to really manage seamlessly, you know, and provide, you know, automation Analytics. Aye, aye. Across APS, cloud infrastructure and even security. Right. And that, you know, that really is a iob is right. I mean, that's delivering on, you know, as the industry starts toe define and really coalesce around, eh? I ops, that's what we use. >> So just so I'm clear that so it's really your layer your software layer kind of management layer that that integrates all these different systems and provides kind of a unified view. Control, I reporting et cetera. Right >> Exactly. Then can plug in and integrate, you know, third party tools. I had to do some strategic function. >> I'm just I'm just >> curious is one of the themes that we here out in the press right now is this is this kind of pull back of public cloud app. Some of them are coming back. Or maybe it was, you know, kind of a rush. Maybe a little bit too aggressively. What are some of the reasons why people are pulling stuff back out of public clouds, that just with the wrong it was just the wrong application? The costs were not what we anticipated to be. We find it, you know, what are some of the reasons that you see after coming back in house? Yeah, >> I think it's >> a variety of factors. I mean, it's certainly cost, I think is one. So as there are multiple private options and you know, we don't talk about this, but the hyper skills themselves are coming out with their own different private options, like Aunt Ours and out pulls and other stack and on. And Ali Baba has obsessed I and so on. So you see a proliferation of that and you see many more options around private cloud. So I think the cost is certainly a factor. The second is I think data gravity is, I think, a very important point because as you're starting to see how different applications have to work together, then that becomes a very important point. The third is just about compliance, and, you know, the regulatory environment. As we look across the globe, you know, even outside the U. S. We look at Europe and other parts of Asia as clients and moving more to the cloud. You know, that becomes an important factor. So as you start to balance these things, I think you have to take a very application centric view. You see some of those some some maps moving back, and and I think that's the part of the hybrid world is that you know, you can have a nap running on the private cloud and then tomorrow you can move this. Since it's been containerized to run on public and it's, you know, it's all managed that look >> e. I mean, cost is a big factor if you actually look at it. Most of our clients, you know, they typically you were big cap ex businesses, and all of a sudden they're using this consumption consumption model. And they weren't really They didn't have a function to go and look at the thousands or millions of lines of it, right? You know, as your statement, exactly think they misjudged, you know, some of the scale on B e e. I mean, that's one of the reasons we started. It's got to be an application lead modernization that really that will dictate that. And I think in many cases, people didn't may not have thought through which application. What data? There The data, gravity data. Gravity's a conversation I'm having just by with every client right now. You know, I've got a 64 terabyte hana, and that's the core. My crown jewels. That data, you know, how do I get that to tensorflow? How'd I get that >> right? But if Andy was >> here, though, Andy would say, we'll send down the snow. The snow came from which virgin snow plows Snowball snowball. Well, they're snowballs. But we've seen the >> hold of a truck killer >> that comes out and he'd say, Take that and stick it in the cloud. Because if you've got that data in a single source right now, you can apply multitude of applications across that thing. So they you know they're pushing. Get that date end in this single source course than to move it, change it, you know you run it. All these micro lines of billing statement take >> the hotel. I mean, their data stolen the mainframe. So if they may want need to expose it? Yeah, they have a database cash, and they move it out. You know, the particulars of data sets get larger, it becomes, you know, the data. Gravity becomes a big issue. Because no matter how much you know, while Moore's law might be might have elongated from 18 to 24 months, the network will always be the bottle, Mac. So ultimately, we're seeing, you know, a CZ. We proliferate more and more data, all data sets get bigger and better than network becomes more of a bottleneck. Conned. That's a lot of times you gotta look at your applications. They have. I've got some legacy database I need to get. Thio. I need this to be approximately somewhere where I don't have, you know, high bandwith o r. Right Or, you know, highlight and see type or so egress costs a pretty big deals. My date is up in the cloud, and I'm gonna get charged for pulling it off. You know that That's been a big issue. >> You know, it's funny, I think, and I think a lot of the issue, obviously complexity building. It's a totally different building model, but I think to a lot of people will put stuff in a public cloud and then operated as if they bought it. And they're running in the data center in this kind of this. Turn it on, turn it off when you need it. Everyone turns. Everyone loves to talk about the example turning it on when you need it. But nobody ever talks about turning it off when you don't. But but the kind of clothes on our conversation I won't talk about a I and applied a I. CoSine is a lot of talk in the market place, but a time machine learning. But as you guys know pride better than anybody, it's the application of a I and specific applications, which really on unlocks the value. And as we're sitting here talking about this complexity, I can't help but think that, you know, applied a I in a management layer like your run differently, set up to actually know when to turn things on, when to turn things off when you moved in but not moved, it's gonna have to be machines running that right cause the data sets and the complexity of these systems is going to be just overwhelming. Yeah, yeah, >> absolutely completely agree with you in fact. Ah, essential. We actually referred to the Seoul area as Applied intelligence. Ah, and that's our guy, right? And, uh, it is absolutely to add more and more automation Move everything Maur toe where it's being run by the machine rather than, you know, having people really working on these things >> yet, e I mean, if you think you hit the nail on the head, we're gonna a eyes e. I mean, given how things getting complex, more ephemeral, you think about kubernetes et cetera. We're gonna have to leverage a humans or not to be able to get, you know, manage this. The environment is important, right? What's interesting way we've used quite effectively for quite some time. But it's good at some stuff, not good at others. So we find it's very good at, like, ticket triage, like ticket triage, chicken routing, et cetera. You know, any time we take over account, we tune our AI ai engines. We have ticket advisers, etcetera. That's what probably got the most, you know, most bang for the buck. We tried in the network space. Less success to start even with, you know, commercial products that were out there. I think where a I ultimately bails us out of this is if you look at the problem. You know, a lot of times we talked about optimizing around cost, but then performance. I mean, and it's they they're somewhat, you know, you gotta weigh him off each other. So you've got a very multi dimensional problem on howto I optimize my workloads, particularly. I gotta kubernetes cluster and something on Amazon, you know, sums running on my private cloud, etcetera. So we're gonna get some very complex environment. And the only way you're gonna be ableto optimize across multi dimensions that cost performance service levels, you know, and then multiple options don't do it public private, You know, what's my network costs etcetera. Isn't a I engine tuning that ai ai engines? So ultimately, I mean, you heard me earlier on the operators. I think you know, they write the analytic albums, they do the automation scripts, but they're the ultimate ones who then tune the aye aye engines that will manage our environment, right. And I think it kubernetes will be interesting because it becomes a link to the control plane optimize workload placement between >> when the best thing to you. Then you have dynamic optimization can. You might be up to my tanks at us right now, but you might be optimizing for output the next day. So exists really a you know, kind of Ah, never ending >> when you got you got to see them >> together with it. And multi dimension optimization is very difficult. So I mean, you know, humans can't get their head around. Machines can, but they need to be trained. >> Well, Prasad, Larry, Lots of great opportunities for for centuries bring that expertise to the table. So thanks for taking a few minutes to walk through some of these things. Our pleasure. Thank you. Raise Prasad is Larry. I'm Jeff. You're watching the Cube. We are high above San Francisco in the Salesforce Tower. Theis Center. Innovation have in San Francisco. Thanks for watching. We'll see you next time

SUMMARY :

covering Accenture Innovation Date brought to you by ex center They think you had it. you know we delivered to our clients and cloud, as you know, is the platform to which all of our clients are moving. And you took it back It isn't just the tallest building in here, and everyone all right, everyone's you know, the public pass, and it's starting to cloud native development. and tell me if you agree. and not not that it's all by any means that you know, it's always giving an ongoing problem. So, you know, you pick certain applications which were obviously hosted by sales force and other companies, attributes that you need to think about and yet from the application point of view, before you decide where I think you know, we have to obviously start from an application centric you know, you know, with our tech advisory guys coming in, there are intelligent engineering And you know, and then certain others, you know, you can just, you know, lift and shift. is execution speed if you can get it. So it's really I t is really trying to step up and, you know, enabled the business toe to compete in How do you help your customers think about the definition? But it's really all about where do you place the specific workload cycles that land is that you know, the red shifts the azure functions of the public world. is, you know, kind of break in the application and leveraging micro service is to do things around the core You know, I've got a much you know, I can still get that agility. now, I've got distributed applications and the thing that you just described and everyone wants to be that single And that's where I think you know, that do the application manager an optimization cloud infrastructure, you know, So we started make you know how to be So that was the first thing you know, standardizing service catalog. So just so I'm clear that so it's really your layer your software layer kind Then can plug in and integrate, you know, third party tools. We find it, you know, what are some of the reasons and and I think that's the part of the hybrid world is that you know, you can have a nap running on the private you know, some of the scale on B e e. I mean, that's one of the reasons we started. But we've seen the to move it, change it, you know you run it. So ultimately, we're seeing, you know, a CZ. And as we're sitting here talking about this complexity, I can't help but think that, you know, applied a I rather than, you know, having people really working on these things I think you know, they write the analytic albums, they do the automation scripts, So exists really a you know, kind of Ah, So I mean, you know, We'll see you next time

David Raymond, Virginia Tech | AWS Imagine 2019


 

>> from Seattle WASHINGTON. It's the Q covering AWS Imagine brought to you by Amazon Web service is >> Hey, welcome back already, Jeffrey. Here with the cue, we're in downtown Seattle at the AWS. Imagine, Edie, you event. It's a small conference. It's a second year, but it'll crow like a weed like everything else does the of us. And it's all about Amazon and a degree. As for education, and that's everything from K through 12 community college, higher education, retraining vets coming out of the service. It's a really big area. And we're really excited to have fresh off his keynote presentations where he changed his title on me from what it was >> this morning tow. It was the senator duties >> David Raymond, the director of what was the Virginia Cyber Range and now is the U. S. Cyber range. Virginia Tech. David, Great to see you. >> Yeah, Thank you. Thanks. So the Virginia cyber age actually will continue to exist in its current form. Okay, Well, it'll still serve faculty and students in the in the Commonwealth of Virginia, funded by the state of Virginia. Now the U. S. Cyber Angel fund will provide service to folks outside over, >> so we jumped ahead. So? So it's back up. A step ladder is the Virginia, >> So the Virginia Cyber Range provides courseware and infrastructure so students could do hands on cyber security, educational activities in Virginia, high schools and colleges so funded by the state of Virginia and, um provides this service at no charge to the schools >> and even in high school, >> even in high school. Yes, so now that there are now cybersecurity courses in the Virginia Department of Education course catalogue as of two years ago, and I mean they've grown like wildfire, >> I'm just so a ton of talk here about skills gap. And there's tremendous skills gap. Even the machine's gonna take everybody's job. There's a whole lot of jobs are filled, but what's interesting? I mean, it's the high school angle is really weird. I mean, how do you Most high school kids haven't even kind of clued in tow, privacy and security, opting in and opting out. It's gotta be a really interesting conversation when now you bring security into that a potential career into that and directly reflects on all those things that you do on your phone. >> Well, I would argue that that's exactly the problem. Students are not exposed to cyber security, you know. They don't want the curia potentials are they really don't understand what it is we talked about. We talked about teenagers being digital natives. Really? They know how to use smartphones. They know how to use computers, but they don't understand how they work. And they don't understand the security aspects that go along with using all this technology. And I would argue that by the time a student gets into college they have a plan, right? So I have a student in college. He's he's gonna be a doctor. He knows what a doctor is. He heard of that his whole life. And in high school, he was able to get certified as a nursing assistant. We need cyber security in that same realm, right? If we start students in high school and we and we expose them to cybersecurity courses, they're all elective courses. Some of the students will latch onto it, and I'll say, Hey, this is what I want to be when I grew up. And in Virginia, we have we have this dearth of cyber security expertise and this is true across the country. In Virginia, right now, we have over 30,000 cyber security jobs that are unfilled. That's about 1/3 of the cyber security jobs in this state. And I mean, that's a serious problem, not only in Virginia but nationwide. And one of the ways to fix that is to get high school students exposed to cybersecurity classes, give them some real hands on opportunities. So they're really doing it, not just learning the words and passing the test, and I mean really again in Virginia, this is this is grown like wildfire and really thinks revolutionized cybersecurity education in the state. >> And what are some of the topics that say, a high school level, where you know you're kind of getting versed on the vocabulary and the terminology vs when they go into into college and start to take those types, of course, is >> yeah, so in Virginia, there's actually cybersecurity courses across the C T E career pathways. And so SETI is the career and technical education curricula. And so there are courses like cyber security and health care, where students learn about personal health data and how to secure that specific specific kinds of data, they learn about the regulations behind that data. There's healthcare in manufacturing, where students learn about industrial control systems and you know how those things need to be secured and how they're different from a laptop or a phone. And the way those air secured and what feeds into all of those courses is an introductory course. Cyber security fundamentals, where students learn some of the very basics they learn the terminology. They learn things like the C I. A. Triad right, confidentiality, integrity and availability of the three basic components of security that you try to maintain for any system. So they start out learning the basics. But still they're doing that hands on. So they're so they're in a network environment where they see that you know that later on in the course during Capstone exercises, they might see someone trying to attack a computer that they're that they're tasked to defend and a defender of what does that look like? What are the things that I'm going to do? That computer? You know, I might install anti virus. I might have a firewall on the computer. And how do I set that up and etcetera etcetera. So high school start with the basics. As as students progressed through their high school years, there are opportunities to take further more advanced classes in the high schools. And then when they get to college, some of those students are gonna have latched onto cyber security as a potential career field. Now, now we've got him right way, get him into the right into the right majors and into the right courses. And our hope is that that's gonna sort of kick start this pipeline of students in Virginia colleges, >> right? And then I wonder if you could >> talk a little bit about the support at the state level. And it's pretty interesting that you had him from the state level we heard earlier today about supported the state level. And it was Louisiana for for another big initiative. So you know that the fact that the governor and the Legislature are basically branding this at the state level, not the individual school district level, is a pretty strong statement of the prioritization that they're putting on this >> that has been critical to our success. If we didn't have state level support, significant state level support, there's no way we could be where we are. So the previous governor of Virginia, Terry McAuliffe, he latched on to cyber security education as one of his signature initiatives. In fact, he was the president of the State Governors Association, and in that role he cybersecurity was one of his condition. So so he felt strongly about educating K 12 education college students feeding that cybersecurity pipeline Onda Cyberangels one of one of a handful of different initiatives. So they were veterans scholarships, and there were some community college scholarships and other other initiatives. Some of those are still ongoing so far are not. But but Cyber Range has been very successful. Funded by the state provides a service at no cost to high schools and colleges on Dad's Been >> critically, I can't help. We're at our say earlier this year, and I'm just thinking of all the CEOs that I was sitting with over the course of a couple of days that are probably looking for your phone number right now. Make introduction. But I'm curious. Are are the company's security companies. I mean, Arcee is a huge show. Amazon just had their first ever security conference means a lot of money being invested in this space. Are they behind it? Have you have you looked for in a kind of private company participation to help? Because they desperately need these employees? >> Definitely. So we've just started down that road, Really? I mean, our state funding has kept us strong to this point in our state funding is gonna continue into the foreseeable future. But you're right. There are definitely opportunities to work with industry. Certainly a DBS has been a very strong partner of our since the very beginning. They really I mean, without without the help of some, some of their cloud architects and other technical folks way could not have built what we built in the eight of us. Cloud. We've also been talking to Palo Alto about using some of their virtual appliances in our network environments. So yeah, so we're definitely going down the road of industry partners and that will continue to grow, I'm sure >> So then fast forward today to the keynote and your your announcement that now you taking it beyond just Virginia. So now it's the U. S. Cyber range. Have that come apart? Come about. What does that mean? >> Yes, So we've been We've been sharing the story of the Virginia cyber range for the last couple of years, and I goto national conferences and talk about it. And, um, just to just sort of inform other states, other other school systems what Virginia's doing. How could you? How could you potentially match what we're doing and what The question that I keep getting is I don't want to reinvent the wheel. How can I buy what you have? And that's been sort of a constant drumbeat over the last couple of years. So we decided fairly early on that we might want to try to expand beyond Virginia, and it just sort of the conditions were right about six months ago. So we set a mark on the wall, he said. In Summer of 2019 we're gonna make this available to folks outside of Virginia. And so, so again, the Virginia Cyberangels still exist. Funded by the Commonwealth of Virginia, the U. S cyber range is still part of Virginia Tech. So within Virginia Tech, but we will have to we will have to essentially recoup our costs so we'll have to spend money on cloud infrastructure and We'll have to spend salary money on folks who support this effort. And so we'll recoup costs from folks that are outside of Virginia using our service. But, um, we think the costs are gonna be very competitive compared to similar efforts. And we're looking forward to some successes here. >> And do you think you're you're kind of breakthrough will be at the high school level, the You know, that underground level, you know, where do you kind of see the opportunities? You've got the whole thing covered with state support in Virginia. How does that get started in California? How's that get started here? Yeah, that's a Washington state. >> That's a great question. So really, when we started this, I thought we were building a thing for higher ed. That's my experience. I've been teaching cyber security and higher ed for several years, and I knew I knew what I would want if I was using it, and I do use it. So I teach classes at Virginia Tech Graduate program. So I I used the Virginia side in my class, and, um, what has happened is that the high schools have latched onto this as I mentioned, and Most of our users are high schools. In Virginia, we have 180. Virginia High School is using the Virgin Cyber. That's almost >> 188 1 >> 180. That's almost half the high schools in the state using the Virginia cyber age. So we think. And if you think about, you know, higher. Ed has been teaching cybersecurity classes that the faculty members who have been teaching them a lot of them have set up their own network infrastructure. They have it set up the way they want it, and it ties into their existing courseware, and you know they're going to use that, At least for now. What we provide is is something that makes it so that a high school or a community college doesn't have to figure out how to fund or figure out how to actually put this network architecture together. They just come to us. They have the flexibility of the flexibility to use, just are very basic plug and play network environments, or they have flexibility to, um, make modifications depending on how sophisticated they themselves are with with, you know, manipulating systems and many playing the network so so Our expectation is that the biggest growth is going to be in the high school market, >> right? That's great, because when you say cyber range God, finally, Donna me use it like a target range. It's like a place to go practice >> where the name comes from, right? >> Absolutely. If I finally like okay, I get it. So because it's not only the curriculum and the course where and everything else but it's actually an environment, it depends on the stage things and do things exactly >> So students could d'oh offensive, offensive and defensive cybersecurity activities. And so early on, when we were teaching students howto hack essentially in colleges, you know, there were people who were concerned about that on the military case we make for that is you can't teach somebody how to defend unless they understand how they're gonna be attacked. The same is true in this case. So all of our all of our course, where has lots of ethics and no other legal and other other discussions embedded throughout. So students understand the implications of what their actions would be if they do it somewhere else. And, um, right, these are all isolated network environments their places where students can get hands on in a place where they can essentially do whatever they want without causing trouble on the school network or on the Internet. And it's very much akin to a rifle range, >> right? Like you said, you can have different scenarios. And I would imagine there's probably gonna be competitions of you think. Fact. You know what's going on in the robotics world for lots of all these things, right? Like white hat, black hat hacker. Well, very, very exciting. David, Congratulations. And it sounds like you're well on your way. Thanks. Great. Alright, >> He's David. I'm Jeff. You're watching The Cube were at Washington State Convention Centre just across the street at a W s. Imagine. Thanks for watching. We'll see you next time. >> Thanks.

So the Virginia cyber age actually will continue to exist in its current form. A step ladder is the Virginia, Yes, so now that there are now cybersecurity courses in the Virginia Department of Education I mean, it's the high school angle is really weird. That's about 1/3 of the cyber security jobs in this state. And the way those air secured and what feeds into all of those courses is And it's pretty interesting that you had him from the Funded by the state provides a service at no cost to high schools and colleges on Dad's Been all the CEOs that I was sitting with over the course of a couple of days that are probably looking in our state funding is gonna continue into the foreseeable future.

Ignasi Nogués, Clickedu | AWS Imagine 2019


 

>> from Seattle Washington It's the Q covering AWS Imagine brought to you by Amazon Web service is >> Hey, welcome back there, buddy Geoffrey here with the Cube. We're in downtown Seattle Day Ws Imagine Edie, you event. It's their education event and every education Everything from K through 12. The higher education community College Retraining after service is a really great show. It's a second year. We're happy to be here. We've got somebody has come all the way from Spain to talk about his very special company. It's Ignasi. Nuclear is he is >> the CEO of click dot edu. Yeah, nice. You see? Welcome. >> Thank you are way really pleased to be with you. >> Great. So tell us, kind of what is clicky? Do you What? What is kind of your core value? >> It's ah, platform that makes all the things that the school needs seeing atleast in Spain. So it's a miss system also on elements also the communication with the family that Petra is Ah Wei Tau financial the school and also a lot of things that they are related on >> right? And you've been around for a while. So when did the company started? How was kind of some basic numbers on how many customers do you have? Could you operate in a lot of countries? A lot of schools? >> The as we have schools working with us already in all of Spain, Also in Chile, Colombia, Arneson, UK. On also in a little country in Europe that is called Andorra. So we're really happy because you have more than 1,000,000 off users working with us. >> 1,000,000. Congratulations. And is it mainly do you specialize between, say, K through 12 or higher education? Or we're kind of all over the place? >> Yes, we're focusing K 12 schools. So the one off the important parts are the communication with parents on dhe to follow all the things that the student. That's >> right. So you guys have a very special thing that you're announcing here at the show is really focusing on Alexa for K through 12 which nobody else is doing. That's really something unique that you guys, How did you get in that? What did you see in voice communication and Alexa that you couldn't do in the platform before that? You really saw the opportunity? >> Yes. All the people say is that >> the future or the present Now is the voice on all we will communicate by boys in the future over Internet. You see a lot off young guys doing all the things my boys know, right? Texting, etcetera. So we thought that it could be a nice idea that the communication between parents and also for a students to the school and be on in the other way, could be could be by boys. So we imagine how to do >> it on. We did it. It's really knew. >> When did you start it? When did you start that project? >> This project we began three months ago, >> three months ago. So, >> yeah, it's really, really knew the boy's idea, right? It was in >> a show that I have seen. Ah ah, law. A lot of people were talking about that, but there were, at least in Spain, in the Spanish. Nothing about so with it, we can be the first. So >> we leave. That's >> great. So before we turn the >> cameras on, we're talking about some of the issues that you have in one of the ones is integration to all these systems because, you know, I have kids. I might have multiple kids in a couple different grades. You have kids and a fine looking for access on their homework or their test scores. You know he's got integrate with all those different back ends to keep things private. But you're kind of in a good spot because your system is the one that's on the back end, right? Yeah, so that worked pretty well. And then the other piece, he talked about his two way voice. I don't think a lot of people think in voice communication, yet it's still more of an ask and get a reply asking and get a reply. But you guys are actually pushing notice vacations from the school, out to the families using voice. How's that working out? You know what are some of the use cases? Yeah, >> it's like it's like the parent can ask Toe elixir, for example, What's a home or for tomorrow for one of your son or daughter on DA on The Echo tell you about that. So it's really impressive, because in that moment the system goes to the school system to get that information on our system. Yeah, on Alexa translating voice So it's It's It's funny >> I just think it's funny that I get e mails from all my digital assistants telling me, suggesting things that I should ask them because it's really not native yet as as an interface to work with these machines. But, well, he's mentioned that the young people voices much more natural. So I wonder if there's been some surprises or some things you didn't expect in terms of people comfort level with voice as a way to communicate with me. >> Say, I think it's, ah most natural way also for us that we are not not if but off course. So we communicate better by boys and writing or texting. So, so off course. It's the future because it's another away. So the use off that systems goes up because off that. So I think it's the most the most thing that for for causes more surprising, >> right? And so will you guys supply the Alexa? It's for people's homes. Or is it something they can tap into their existing Alexa Yeah, >> uh, usually, ah, the case for using that is in your home or else on your phone so you can install licks on your phone and you can ask them. I'll see if the UK fun ankle, >> but handle it. But how do I look? How do I hook my existing echo? Yeah, yes, I bought into the school system. >> Yes, because sometimes some universities are They pulled their A coin. I don't know in the university, or but you can use your echo that you are using it for other things. Listen, music me Listen, missing music or whatever >> and you >> can use the >> same. Yeah, you can. You >> only have to, like, download an >> app for >> your phone. There >> is more less is the same us Alexa to >> install, click in the Web or a skill that it's cow. It's called right, and then you >> have it. So what's next? What's on the road? Map on the voice specifically, Where do you see this kind of evolving over the next little while? >> Yes, our our next goal in the parties that they can use the teachers in the school. The boy systems also so for doing what they do every day in ah Maur writing or whatever, we can do it by voice. For example, interview with the parents, a transcript or, for example, to say that somebody hasn't come to the school or toe tell to the Transportacion that something is company. These kind of things is what we are. Imagine it's in our next things that we will do it with voice. >> It'll be Lexa in the classroom, hoping, thinking, Yeah, right. What about privacy? I would imagine knows funny. In the early days of Cloud, security was a was was not good of the show stopper. People were concerned about 10 years later. Now security is a strength of cloud, right? It's probably more secure than most people's data centers or disgruntled employees. I would imagine privacy and security. This is probably pretty top of mind in the school district as well as a lot of personal information. Are they comfortable? Do they kind of get the security of cloud and cloud infrastructure, or is that still sticking point? >> You know that in Europe there are really strict low of our protection off that right, so we are really concerned about that. So we are talking with the school's what kindof systems. They will be comfortable because you want to use it, so we'll have to find >> the clue to do that. But It's really >> important, I think, all over the world, but in the stage or in Europe who are really concerned about that. So we'll see how to find it. But we can create a private skill, right? Yes, because there are birds shown off, Alexa, that is for business. So you can create your provide things on. You don't have to be for that. Somebody's listening. You >> right? All right. So the last last question here at the conference and you come last year? >> No. So what do >> you know? Just your impressions of the conference Has it nice to be with a bunch of like minded, you know, kind of forward thinking educators because because education doesn't always get the best reputation being kind of forward looking. But here you're surrounded. So I just wonder you could share some of your thoughts of the of the event so far. Yeah, >> I think this guy no five ins give you more motivation on you. Increase your you're way t to see that there are a lot of people that is pushing to innovate and do the things different. So really, really interesting to goto some machine learning. Ah, suppose is shown about California. What? They are doing that right? So I'm really interested. >> Good. Get all right. Look Nazi. Thanks for taking a few minutes. And, uh, congratulations on that project. That's really crazy. Thank >> you for your interest in. >> All right, >> Jeff, you're watching the Cube. Where it aws Imagine in downtown Seattle. Thanks for watching. We'll see you next time.

Victoria Hurtado, Kern Health Systems | Nutanix .NEXT Conference 2019


 

>> Live from Anaheim, California It's the queue covering nutanix dot next twenty nineteen. Brought to you by Nutanix >> Welcome back, everyone to the Cubes Live coverage of nutanix dot Next here in Anaheim, I'm your host, Rebecca Night, along with my co host, John Furrier. We are joined by Victoria Hurtado. She is the director I t operations at current Health Care System's Welcome, Victoria. I think >> you've having me >> So for our viewers that are not familiar with current to tell us a little bit about what you do and what you're all about. >> Sure. So we're a health payer provider. So we are managed care medical plan. We have a contract with the state of California to provide medical services. Teo, about two hundred fifty five thousand members, and Kern County, located in Bakersfield, California s. So if you really think no one to know more about this like a Kaiser without the provider network and so we pay, uh, the services, the bills that come in a swell is authorized the services that need to be rendered for members. >> So talk about your decision to move from traditional storage to H. C. I. >> So really, where decisions stemmed from was our road map. And over the last several years we have had a three tier traditional storage, Um, and the daily task of our system administrators have increased over time with integration and as technology increases, there's more integration. And so we really wanted to focus on how do we decrease that as well as increased efficiencies so that we can for her by the services that we need Teo, for our internal customers as well as our external customers are members and providers >> and and the efficiency. Suppose the project plan. How did you go? Proud. You approach it? >> Sure, So her strategy was really a three phase approach. So we wanted to implement VD I for our internal employees. So we started off with VD. I Once we have transition to that, we will be migrating or in the process of right now, our core claim system, which is that are our bread and butter really on DH? So we'll do a six plant a month plan on that, see how that goes and then once that is successful, which I feel will be successful, we will migrate our entire infrastructure over >> and you're happy with the new tactics so far? >> Yes. So the first deployment was nutanix with Citrix and VM Where that entire combination I've had a few consultants come in and they're like, Oh, you've got the Ferrari of Edie I. And I'm like, Yes, we absolutely dio s Oh, yes, >> when you're thinking about efficiencies. I mean, one of the things Before the cameras were rolling, you were talking a little bit about what it means for employees. Can you talk a little bit about how they then structure of their day? They structure how which projects they work on and how they are more productive given these different changes? >> Sure. So unorganised ation like us, we are always challenged with guidelines changing from the state. They have a tendency to want to change things very frequently. So we often have a lot of critical projects that were doing on an everyday basis, and that work really gets them consumed. And so what we're able to do with nutanix is alleviate those responsibility so that we can focus on the more critical, you know, impacting scenarios versus, you know, managing alone and moving a volume and making sure the system is up and running. We're really focused on providing care to our members because our members or what count, Um and, you know, it also allows for, you know, a member to get the services that they need while they're sitting in the doctor's office waiting for a response from our organization. >> How's the cops world these days? Because there's so much tech out there. When you look at the landscape because you got you got unique situation, you got care and you got payments were relying on this so you don't have a lot of room for mistakes. Crap. What do you guys see in that Operations suppliers out there, Other people you looked at, what was some of the solutions and why need nutanix? >> So it actually took us a while to make that decision. We made a collaborative decision with our engineers, uh, my CEO and some of our business units. We compared different technologies that were out in the landscape of both storage and hyper converged. What was the right path for us? We did a very thorough cost analysis of five year ten year what that road map looks like for us. And, um, like you said. Mistakes. We can't make mistakes. And with growing security risk and healthcare industry and more people wanting that data, it's really important for us to protect it and have it secure. Eso nutanix really offered us a lot of the key components that we were looking for in our grading system. When we you know, we're looking for a storage solution, >> how's the event here? What's what you would have you learned? Tell us your experience. Nutanix next. >> Sure. So coming to this event, I really thought that we would be looking into new technologies. What other integration? Like typical conferences, I think. Sitting in the initial Kino, I heard a lot of great positive things that are aligned with the industry. The buzz words right now in technology as well as our own road mount for technology going to the cloud convergence, using multiple technologies for integration so really kind of paved what this conference was going to be. In addition, I think the sessions having thie cheered approach of you can follow a pathway throughout the conference was a brilliant idea and planning. Um, so I think there's much to learn about how this conference was put on. So >> I want to ask you about your role as the as the director of operation. I mean, somewhere. So you're hearing so much that these roles air really being dramatically transformed that it's not just about keeping the lights on, it really is. You're taking a much more strategic role in the business. How would you say you approach your job differently? How would you say it is changed? Your leadership style And And how much? How much time do you spend thinking about being more visionary? More forward? Thinking versus this is what we're doing each day. >> Yeah, s o I think Historically traditional technology departments and and management within technology of really focused on technology on Lee. Um, over the last several years, I've made it a point to learn our business units so that we can apply good technology, Teo, a good process. I'm a true believer in an advocate for our technology department and our staff to really know the business so that we're not putting technology on a bad process and because that doesn't really help anyone to be successful. So I would say the shift in transition is being merged and converges ight hee in business entity a ce faras approach Getting the business to come uphill with us has been really important. I'm not on ly for technology for the the underlying infrastructure, but systems today systems there so much ability to customize it to your heart's content, which also leads to different issue. So using technology with business process to gain efficiencies is really the road that is ahead of us. >> One of the things that the senior execs that nutanix talk about it their value propositions about, you know, helping consolidate little bit. Here is one of the side benefits. But there's a new role in the kind of looking for spent the new kind of persona person with nutanix solution is a new kind of operator. Yes. What? What? What do you think he means by that? >> So I really think it means And I had this challenge internally, actually, a cz You know, we we have a lot of technical engineers that have grown up with the mentality that I have to know everything about this one silo topic. Right? I need to be the expert in this Andre. Really? Where we're going is you don't have to worry about that. I need you to know about the business. I need you to know about how you can make change, inefficiencies, to help us be successful. And that is a transition for a lot of technologist. And we will get there. I truly believe that because we have Tio. >> It's a cultural thing. >> It is definitely a culture >> of an old dog. New tricks? Kind of >> Yes, Absolutely. How do you hire? I mean, look, what's weirder that what air to you? An applicant comes into your office. What? What do you want to see? >> So technology has historically been the focus of what do you know? How well can you do it? To what experience? You have enterprise grade level experience and now that's really shifting. Teo, are you able to participate on our project? Can you build requirements? Do you understand what your customers asking for? A swell is asking the questions of Is this the right thing to Dio? I'm not just doing what our customer asked us to dio. Does it make sense? If we're going archive data Do we need to secure it when we're transferring that in and out of the organization. Uh, does that make sense? And so they were looking for people that are going to be out spoken a little bit and ask those hard questions. >> Now, we have always talk about Ransomware because healthcare's been targeted. You got your mission's security earlier. Thinking broadly. You got data? Yes. Got the crown jewels, bread in butter. As you said, the data are you Have you experience ransom? Where you guys ready for it? What's the strategy? >> So we've actually take a layered approach to security. Obviously, in health care, there is no single pane of glass for security. We've really stepped into the world of having our data encrypted at rest in transit. Uh, multi layers. We do audits every >> year >> to make sure that we're compliance. We pay people to try to hack us, you know, legally because we want to know where are our possibilities are s o wait. Do that purposefully with intent to make sure that we have the technologies and place that are going to provide us what we need for our data. >> Fascinating. Victoria, Thank you so much for coming on the Cube. It was a pleasure having you. Thank you. I'm Rebecca Knight for John Farrier. You are watching the Cube

So talk about your decision to move from traditional storage to H. and the daily task of our system administrators have increased over time with integration How did you go? So we started off with VD. And I'm like, Yes, we absolutely dio s Oh, yes, I mean, one of the things Before the cameras were rolling, you were talking a little bit about the more critical, you know, impacting scenarios versus, What do you guys see in that Operations suppliers out there, Other people you looked at, When we you know, What's what you would have you learned?

Ed Yardumian & Kunal Ruvala, Dell EMC | Dell Technologies World 2019


 

live from Las Vegas it's the queue covering del technology's world 2019 on to you by del technologies and its ecosystem partners welcome back everyone to day two of the cubes live coverage of del technologies world here in Las Vegas at the sands Expo I'm your host Rebecca night along with my co-host stu minimun we have two guests for this segment we have Kunal Rove Allah he is the SVP software engineering Dell EMC and yet edie your your Dominion SVP product development Dell EMC thank you both so much for coming on the queue thank you thank you thank you so as we know customers are dealing with a tsunami of and apps this is what from Michael Dell from his words it is it is it is exceedingly complex there is so much to manage can you just lay the foundation and just tell our viewers what you're hearing from customers and the specific challenges they're facing I think customers have been pretty specific with us and they've been very consistent about it their business is being disrupted by digital transformation data is exploding and it's hard to manage and then on top of it they're they're working as hard as they can to cope with that growth best they can but that's often causing them unintended consequences in making things either less efficient or harder to manage in their data centers and in their operation so our job is and that and that those factors are making it difficult for them to realize that your benefit of all the data that they have so our job is to help them unlock all of that potential that's sort in their data alright so Kunal data protection got some good call outs in the keynote new brandings power protect can you walk us through you know what's new what to rebrand and you know what we should be taking away absolutely still so it's been an exciting morning already as you heard we've announced Dell EMC pulpit that software and Dell UMC power protect X 400 it is our new next-generation data management software platform and the new next-generation multi-dimensional data management appliance and with power protect we believe that it will help midsize and large enterprise organizations transform from what is traditionally been a traditional form of data protection - more of a data management space and their management solutions so that's what happens with power protect protect comes as you have heard in different form factors you can deploy it as a software or it can come as an appliance but it gives you the ability to set up policies and manage the data where you can create the backups you can create the restores and restore the data that you need at the same time have other use cases to help with data management problems that customers are running into today so as we know that the landscape is really changing there are new threats there are new requirements that companies need to abide by what are the sort of can you walk us through some of the specs of this and exactly what it does yeah absolutely so it is it is a based on a modern architecture it is software-defined and we see that a lot of the transformation that we're seeing in the industry is driving towards software-defined we do see that there is a need for data protection to reside closest to where the data is or where the application owners are so if you think of customers that have thought about data protection in the past is sometimes as an afterthought they've run into challenges when they've had incidents or they've lost data if you think about how do you best protect some of this data if you give the powers to the customers that are closest to the data or the data owners there's a good chance of success with data protection strategies so having self service driven architectures as well as capabilities to help with centralized IT management are key parts of what we do with power protect and then if you think about just the explosion of data that we've seen and the usage and the widespread usage of cloud it is cloud enabled multiple ways of using power protect in the cloud storing to the cloud clout hearing to the cloud so there are a lot of things that we can do with multi cloud environments that customers have as well as having simplicity of management so these are some of the key pillars that come together as you think about power protect software as well as the appliances yeah so I'm wondering if you can just bring us in a little bit cuz I look at the challenges out there we know one of the one of the biggest things in IT is nothing ever dies you know I've got old environments out there that I need to be able to manage that data protection layer is something that it you know it can sometimes be you have to be able to do it over time because it needs to work with so many different environment so I've got everything from you know boy my mainframe and you know my make legacy applications to the latest cloud native wonderful multi cloud things like you know we saw Microsoft up on stage talking about can you give us you know what you're hearing from customers what are they finally you know moving forward and how do you manage that breadth of you know data that you need to be able to deal with the diversity both of their workloads that are being protected in the environments and the distributed data centers that they have in the operational towns they have is tremendous that's why we have a portfolio products so we have a portfolio both in the software side as well as the appliance side that deal with the different challenges that they have whether it's on the edge with our virtual edition in in larger data centers with things like data domain and some of our data suite product a to protection suite products as well as in this modern data protection space and the new products that we're introducing today so we need they customers need diversity and how we protect their data and then they need different options for for how and where that they they do that anything specifically you know that you know is different now than it would have been five years ago when it talked about diversity of environments or media that they're working on we talked about tape earlier and one of the challenging things is we keep you know building new products that don't have some of these features because we think that's not where the markets going but even on our entry data domain appliance we just added tape capability to it because that's what customers feedback is they said even in the smallest case we still have a need for that in our in our environment all right so so 2019 is not the year that tape finally dies obviously there's not new tape probably being deployed but customers still have tape in their environment and they need a way to protect but also be able to access and leverage the data that's in their tapes we had a customer we're talking about big data and then they said you know the biggest data is on our tapes but it's locked up so we need a way to have accessibility for that data and bring it into our business and our transformation unlocking the data no matter where it resides whether it's on the tape whether it's on disk whether it's in the cloud no matter how far it is from where the applications are and being able to provide a solution that helps unlock the data bring it to where it is required and be but to use it again is acting a key part of what we're trying to solve I know that so many people are eager to memorialize tape but I what I'm trying to what I'm trying to think about is how are you talking with customers about these these things because there are there is sort of an unease with we've had data over here and we're not ready to migrate it over it this way and how are you sort of holding your customers hand and when walking them through these decisions I mean it's there's no cookie cutter answer because it is different for every organization so how do you help a customer think through these very big challenges I think one of the key parts of this is having conversations with the customers to think about what their objectives are what their standard objectives are for their environments now in certain cases we've seen customers that have governance or compliance requirements because of the industries that they play in one customer for example is talking about backups being required for 50 years so there are customers that have long term retention needs or situations where they want to have backups or data stored for different purposes as you think about what these s loz are and as you talk about the top two customers about what problems they want to solve defining what the solution is and how that solution helps them meet their SLA or meet their business objectives is a good way that customers understand what we can present and how we can help them and I think one thing I'd add is we can also approach it from a portfolio perspective so when we talk about solving their problems we don't need to talk about it just as data protection but as a portfolio so we can bring in VX rail discussion and power edge and different storage options and we can build them a solution that is encompassing all the different things that will really solve their problem yeah let's get underneath the covers here for a second you brought up some of the platform pieces what's the update on the appliance piece you know as that fits into the power project family yeah so we have an appliance instantiation that both is a hybrid so a combination of spending media and flash as well as in all flash appliance we needed and that was kind of one key tenant as having the performance options available at different cost points another option another requirement was scale out so we needed we have customers that need starting at a half to buy it or even a petabyte but we also have customers that want to start 6,400 TBS and and that's what our appliances allows not only to scale in place so they can buy one and then they can grow it in place or they can actually add nodes and scale out as another way to deal with the data the data explosion so I think the appliance is offering both this penomet and earlier software to find it is scale out and it has cloud you know coverage in that it's object aware it's loud aware and I think with the software platform that we build that integrates seamlessly with the appliance we have the ability to drive automation that helps with customers deployments as the environments continue to change one thing that's consistent with every customer that we speak to is that environments aren't stagnant they keep evolving they keep changing and it's not just an expansion of the environments but there are different types of workloads that come in there are different types of deployment models that they have and with the automation that we built-in it's easy for customers to use the automated policies to help with the data protection that we provide so let's talk about the data for a second you know one of the objectives I love you talking about how much data they have on tape they want to unlock that how much are you having conversation with the customer about the value of data and how important that is to their business and where you know your solution set really helps to be able to business unlock that value sure so I think it is very clear to us in all of our conversations that I think data is becoming the new currency I think data is the center of all of the decisions that are getting made within organizations identifying what the critical data is what the critical applications are where the data is important for continuous operations of a business in a lot of cases data is continuously required for all businesses now but what are some of the data what is some of the data that helps with the decision making that is required for businesses succeed is important so once there has been an identification of what this data is what the classification is for the data having different strategies to protect that data to help restore from that data backups is a critical part of what we have worked with customers yes not all data is created equal and then different different workloads DIF data needs a different strategy to make sure that it's weather well-protected it's resilient and accessible anything in the modern work workloads that are impacting you think kind of the a IML you know IOT type environment where there's a lot of data and when you talk about not data it's a very created equal it's like okay sometimes there's a lot of data but you know I don't necessarily want to spend as much on some of these classes data I want to be able to use them how does that fit into the discussion so as we think about how we built the architecture we build an architecture where there are services that help with collecting more data and more information that can help with decision making within the product if you think about different forms of modern data that is available whether it be containers whether it be applications that are residing on Prem more seamlessly transition to the cloud bringing the right amount of data back having analysis on that data and have been protected is critical so I think those are key key components of how we solve the data protection problem yeah that that and having patented industry-leading efficiency and data reduction technology - it's gonna cost money wherever you save the data but if we can optimize and reduce that provide a great total cost of ownership that's that's key for these customers is because a lot of a lot of it seems easy upfront but then long term those costs can escalate whether it's on Prem or in cloud and we have to make sure that they they maintain a good TCO and I think to add to that also the application owners understand their data better than anyone else does giving the power to the application owners on when they need to protect the data what they need to do with the data when they need to restore from that data is a critical part of driving success for the customers while we do that it is important that the central IT teams are able to enforce the compliance and governance across the entire environment as well whether it be existing workloads new workloads new applications but we want to provide the central IT team the ability to have that SLO driven compliance framework and that's what the platform presents as well I want to ask you to sort of look into the future a little bit and we're talking a lot about as you said there are companies organizations their data needs are not stagnant they are always changing that is really the one true constant of this technological world that we live in what do you think we're going to be talking about in 2020 and 20 20 25 when we heard from the keynote there's going to be enough data to fill the Empire State Building 13 times our change is just staggering in and of itself I mean what are some of the the things that organizations need to be thinking about to make sure that they are preparing for the future I think we talked a little bit about AI in ml I think integrating more and more of those technologies into the product so that they're they're making decisions and they're being smart without the user intervention and they're even understand the quality of service quality of data and making those decisions we integrated ml into the new appliance product to help one of the biggest challenges our customers face is managing the capacity and maintaining good d-do performance and we integrated ml in order to decide where to put that data both for capacity and performance I think we're gonna further see the integration of that technology on our end as well as the customers end all right so bring us on home power protected new branding new products I hear the power name I'm sure Jeff Clark's happy when we talk about you know getting alignment across the portfolio I've talked a lot of the other power groups this week you know what's your customers you know take away as to why this is different yet you know the comfort of the history and experience that EMC and Ella brought in this space for many years so it for all of us it's a very exciting announcement it is our new modern data management platform that we've launched with power protect you get the ease of the simplicity of deployment you get the full integrated start if you have the appliance deployment form factor if you have the flexibility with the software deployment that you need you have the ability to protect and do all of your data management use cases or drive the deer management use cases for critical workloads and I think that's the that's the key problem the customers are trying to solve it's also the platform that's built with our trusted architectures and it's built on on what we've we've done very well with the trusted architectures we built so I think with that power protect gives you from that customers will be able to use and will be able to expand the businesses in the future as well I think well said I think we saw in the demos today of the many of the storage products and data protection products you see a very consistent UX across those products and we want we want as can all was saying bringing the trusted technologies that we've had but bring them in a modern usable way and if you know a little bit about using a power edge or VX rail or an e CS product as soon as you get this new power protect product actually we've been bringing that technology to some of our other products it'll feel familiar and it'll be easy to use so that's a great note to end on Edie canal thank you so much for coming on with you thank you thank you we will have so much more coming up on day two of the cubes live coverage of Dell technologies world in just a little bit I'm Rebecca Knight force to minimun

Ernesto China, VMware & Brent Collins, WWT | VMworld 2018


 

>> lie for Las Vegas. It's the queue covering VM World twenty eighteen, brought to you by IBM Wear and its >> ecosystem partners. Welcome back to Las Vegas were here of'Em World twenty eighteen Number. We've heard from BM, where for many years is you know, they've got five hundred thousand customers this morning on stage. Pat Gelsinger said that now over fifteen thousand of those customers are using v san. Hi, I'm Stew Minutemen. With me is John Troyer. We're gonna dig into a little bit of a V San discussion here, joining the first time guests on the program. We have Ernie China, who's the director of the San Worldwide product marketing with the M where and also Brent Collins, who's a global practice director with W. W. T. Who is part of the distribution channel partner of V M wear and many others in the ecosystem. Gentlemen, thanks so much for joining us. Thank you very much for having us. All right, Ernie, let's start charging V san. Uh, I would be San was first announced. I said this was the rising tide that will really lift on launch what we called hyper converge infrastructure. Right? Number of interesting announcement. Maybe, you know, give us a thumbnail of what >> happened. S so there's great. So we actually made some big announcements. First of all, we talked about how the moment, um, we've had two to your point right. Huge amount of adoption by our customers, especially elope sphere customers adopting descend on the marketplace today and then we kind of added to a lot of the things they like about the sand by announcing a few things around the product with a current update one which basically prevented two categories of capabilities. One is some management capabilities and make it much easier to administer to manage a visa and deployment. So being able to, uh, recapture any type of capacity that's not being used, for instance is a great thing for administrators are trying to manage also when they're doing trying to do any trouble shooting or trying to do any management. They also have some great trouble shooting capabilities that we announced this well. And then I think, for tea and of the other partners Way also announced new incentives to allow them to be more profitable, especially as they start selling more visa and compared to traditional storage. Some great ways for them to be profitable with Decenas. Well, >> all right, we've We've had a few guest from W W t on our program in the nine years we've been doing it, but it helped. The company I know has gone through a lot of changes, just like everybody else in this industry. So I want you to talk about the visa and stuff, but give us for a second, you know? W w a d T. How should we think of W W T? How do you differentiate from your peers in the marketplace? >> Yes, so I think you know W Vt. Is about a ten and a half billion dollar technology integration firm. We started off a little bit smaller, so a lot of if you haven't been around in awhile. We've grown quite a bit in the last few years but really have built a company or in around speed. So it's, uh, how do we help customers get things moving a lot faster? So it's speed to an informed decision with our advanced technology center. So it's, uh, it's about a two hundred million dollars playground that we used for everything from demos to proof of concept. So what we call lab is a service which is a longer term proof of concept. Um, we also have an integration facility. So we take that informed decision we make maybe a blueprint, So talk a lot about the sand, but it's indifferent consumption models. We might package that together with servers, top Iraq, switching in the rack and really stamp that out multiple times for larger clients. So we take that to the immigration facility, and we also have a world class global supply chains. So we started as a supply chain company. Not a lot of people know that, but you take that, you prove it out, you run it through immigration facility, and then you put it anywhere in the world. It's a really powerful set of capabilities for big customers. >> Well, Brit, I wanted to ask specifically around Lisa. Uh, and you talked about the consumption models. One of the interesting parts about the sand, right. You can roll your own, take the software, roll your own piece and ready notes, or buy it from, you know, from somebody already fully assembled in baked. What do you mean? You're obviously you're working with customers at a range of sizes and use cases. But I mean, can you talk about what? What in twenty eighteen, whether some of the common consumption models to people you know? Are you pulling it all together with the full rack and rolling it in? Or how what people look to W. W. T. And as a V San partner for >> sure, It's a great question. So we actually get all of the above. So we focus on the enterprise space, the larger clients and they a lot of them want custom solution. So we go prove out whatever they want toe have in there and again to the model I talked about earlier. We stamp that out and put it in their data centers. Now, some of them wanted in a V San rule your own. These others want VX rail, and then others want a full stack like the extract std. See, so way I see it for different use cases, right? So we look at it, uh, the sand in and of itself is an easy button, but when you package it in with the reference architecture, it's even easier for people to go, go roll that out and support different models. Whether that's VD, I or general purpose, virtual ization or even enterprise applications so way really like the the ability to customize that, depending on what the customer is looking for. >> All right, Ernie, which one of these things are is everything g et that we've talked about here, you know, how are their customers that have lined up and done? Some of these may be unpacked for us a little bit as toe. What's hitting the door? The door Which one's already rolled out as toe? What piece of those? You know, >> things have hit the door already. They're already out for a lot of customers. A lot of customers, actually, as we do a lot of times have them tested out beforehand. So many customers are already actually using a lot of these capabilities today. Some of them are actually being at the show, talking about some of the things that we've done here. Yeah, >> so what? One thing I love both of you to give us some commentary on when we look at the difference between kind of my data center and the public cloud is the public cloud. Nobody calls you and says, Hey, what version of eight of us are azure? You running right, as opposed to we know the history with these here. It's like, Well, what version of easier? Well, you know, I've got my little lab. Yeah, they're they're testing, you know, six, six, six, seven things like that. But I still got that five five deployment that you no way have plans, but it's gonna take awhile. How does the sensitive into that picture? And, you know, how do you help customers stay on the rev Upgrader to you once you want to sell it or you kind of done and they deal with GM wear? How does that dynamic work? >> I think the value The channel is really making it easier for customers to buy easier Teo deploy and easier to manage. So we do all the above. I think one of the things that we were talking about earlier is I think people look at cloud is the easy button and it is. But there's an interim step there. So for customers to say, Hey, I want it easy. You have the option to do it on Prem as well as in the clouds. So it's really, you know, when I look at my business, it's I'm in the computation of data management business, and V San fits into the really that data management side. The different question when you incorporate Cloud is it's not a question of, you know, Are we still doing the same thing? It's it's Where is it? How do I buy it? So I really like h c. I think it's it really is that interim easy button for people that say I want the simplicity a cloud, but I wanted on prom So >> we're going to get a commentary on kind >> of the management from the manager perspective. We're making it very, very easy for customers to go from whatever version they need to. Obviously the fact that we have all these great new features coming in, it really gets sense a lot of customers to want to move to the latest capabilities, but in general, for them, for customers who make it really easy for them to be able to move up to whatever whatever level they need to >> Nice Brian, I wanted to ask you talk about H I V and the easy. But in a couple of years ago, when a chai architectures we're just coming in, it was The industry always has a little bit black and white. It's either gonna destroy everything or save everything, and it's gonna be one hundred percent one way or the other. Turns out, you know, there's a mix of use cases for traditional storage as well as a C I What? What do you particularly like a CZ use cases for for bee san, uh, your customer base that you roll out? When do you When do you really say you know what? You should really look at this hyper converged infrastructure that we can build you first is, um or, you know, a traditional, bigger, different ray. Bigger array, separate array, sort of storage. >> I'LL give you the answer to everybody hates, which is It depends, right? So I think you know the sands a great platform, and we see it for a lot of different use cases. A lot of it depends on you know, what's the customer looking to do, what's there, what investments that they already made and then where is the fifth best? So from a technical perspective, I mean, I think we all know that general purpose virtual ization of Edie I make their great use cases were v san, but we're starting to see that creep into other use cases. So you start here and then you could say, Well, you know what? I'm refreshing over here. Maybe it makes more sense to take a look at something different a same time. Some people say, Hey, maybe a traditional storage array still makes sense for us, so we kind of see it both ways. But again, as people turn Estes comment as people start with the sand, they try it out. The simplicity, the ease of management and the cost effectiveness they really look at it and also the integration. We don't talk about a lot, but the integration with all the other virtualization tools makes it really easy all in. So because of some reasons why people might take a hard look at that versus a traditional storage array. >> Just add to that start off with media. Everyone was in that particular use case. Then remote office came in, so the edge was a big one that started to grow. Now, majority of our use cases around business Critical lapse. Most of the customers Air sequel Oracle. They're starting to deploy their so actually expanding quite a bit. And the nice thing, actually for partners is in many cases, the services are now starting to catch up. As you start going to these, this is critical APS. Actually, the services get bigger. So going back to that hole profitability element, it makes it more profitable foreigners as well. Right? >> Front V san isn't just a standalone product or, you know it is, obviously is always with the hyper visor. But it's an important piece of the Via MacLeod Foundation is W W t involved in any of those solutions that you know, Uh, yeah, way Don't do anything. Okay? Yeah, that's real straight for itself. But somewhere, cloud Is that something You talk to your customers about her, >> Of course Way. Do all of the above and you know, significant investments in the cloud in general. So a lot of over finding actually not to pivot too hard off of what we're talking about today. But you know, when we look at, uh, v r automation, for example, a lot of customers of purchase it but aren't taken advantage all the different features. So when we look at the entire stack, part of our methodology is working with customers to figure out, what do you have? And then how do we deploy and help you take advantage of what you have and then come back to the real question, which is? Let's take a holistic view out of all of those things and figure out how to maximize it. So it might be vee are a might be vey san. But in general, let's style those things together into something that makes more sense as a platform for what that customers looking to do. >> Okay, Ernie, wanna give you the final word? You know a lot of pieces. People are always trying to do it through. What's one thing that people should look at from the sand that they might have missed? >> So I think, from from the sand perspective, as they start to look at modernizing their infrastructure, they started looking at this whole idea of digital business and how we've become more agile, I think, actually, kind of pivoting a litte bit off. The point that was just made decent is a great way to get started, so it's a great way to be able to bring in some of those capabilities. And then it's a great start than to bring in the rest of our portfolio. That really adds a whole stack solutions. I really make that a reality. And along the way we make it very easy for especially the Spear customers to be able to deploy that >> real important point. Thank you, Ernie. China Front. Collins. Appreciate all the updates and, uh, the user perspective for John Troyer on student and back with lots more content from Veum World twenty eighteen. Thanks for watching the cue. Thank you.

SUMMARY :

VM World twenty eighteen, brought to you by IBM Wear and its We've heard from BM, where for many years is you know, lot of the things they like about the sand by announcing a few things around the product with a current update one which So I want you to talk about the visa and stuff, but give us for a second, Not a lot of people know that, but you take that, One of the interesting parts about the sand, right. So we look at it, uh, the sand in and of itself is an easy button, but when you package it in with that we've talked about here, you know, how are their customers that have lined up and done? A lot of customers, actually, as we do a lot of times have them tested out beforehand. And, you know, how do you help customers stay on the rev Upgrader to you once you want to sell it So it's really, you know, when I look at my business, it's I'm in the computation of data management of the management from the manager perspective. infrastructure that we can build you first is, um or, you know, a traditional, bigger, A lot of it depends on you know, actually for partners is in many cases, the services are now starting to catch up. solutions that you know, Uh, yeah, way Don't do anything.
