>> Narrator: From theCUBE Studios in Palo Alto, in Boston bringing you data-driven insights from theCUBE and ETR. This is "Breaking Analysis" with Dave Vellante. >> The next 10 years of cloud, they're going to differ dramatically from the past decade. The early days of cloud, deployed virtualization of standard off-the-shelf components, X86 microprocessors, disk drives et cetera, to then scale out and build a large distributed system. The coming decade is going to see a much more data-centric, real-time, intelligent, call it even hyper-decentralized cloud that will comprise on-prem, hybrid, cross-cloud and edge workloads with a services layer that will obstruct the underlying complexity of the infrastructure which will also comprise much more custom and varied components. This was a key takeaway of the guests from theCUBE on Cloud, an event hosted by SiliconANGLE on theCUBE. Welcome to this week's Wikibon CUBE Insights Powered by ETR. In this episode, we'll summarize the findings of our recent event and extract the signal from our great guests with a couple of series and comments and clips from the show. CUBE on Cloud is our very first virtual editorial event. It was designed to bring together our community in an open forum. We ran the day on our 365 software platform and had a great lineup of CEOs, CIOs, data practitioners technologists. We had cloud experts, analysts and many opinion leaders all brought together in a day long series of sessions that we developed in order to unpack the future of cloud computing in the coming decade. Let me briefly frame up the conversation and then turn it over to some of our guests. First, we put forth our view of how modern cloud has evolved and where it's headed. This graphic that we're showing here, talks about the progression of cloud innovation over time. A cloud like many innovations, it started as a novelty. When AWS announced S3 in March of 2006, nobody in the vendor or user communities really even in the trade press really paid too much attention to it. Then later that year, Amazon announced EC2 and people started to think about a new model of computing. But it was largely tire kickers, bleeding-edge developers that took notice and really leaned in. Now the financial crisis of 2007 to 2009, really created what we call a cloud awakening and it put cloud on the radar of many CFOs. Shadow IT emerged within departments that wanted to take IT in bite-sized chunks and along with the CFO wanted to take it as OPEX versus CAPEX. And then I teach transformation that really took hold. We came out of the financial crisis and we've been on an 11-year cloud boom. And it doesn't look like it's going to stop anytime soon, cloud has really disrupted the on-prem model as we've reported and completely transformed IT. Ironically, the pandemic hit at the beginning of this decade, and created a mandate to go digital. And so it accelerated the industry transformation that we're highlighting here, which probably would have taken several more years to mature but overnight the forced March to digital happened. And it looks like it's here to stay. Now the next wave, we think we'll be much more about business or industry transformation. We're seeing the first glimpses of that. Holger Mueller of Constellation Research summed it up at our event very well I thought, he basically said the cloud is the big winner of COVID. Of course we know that now normally we talk about seven-year economic cycles. He said he was talking about for planning and investment cycles. Now we operate in seven-day cycles. The examples he gave where do we open or close the store? How do we pivot to support remote workers without the burden of CAPEX? And we think that the things listed on this chart are going to be front and center in the coming years, data AI, a fully digitized and intelligence stack that will support next gen disruptions in autos, manufacturing, finance, farming and virtually every industry where the system will expand to the edge. And the underlying infrastructure across physical locations will be hidden. Many issues remain, not the least of which is latency which we talked about at the event in quite some detail. So let's talk about how the Big 3 cloud players are going to participate in this next era. Well, in short, the consensus from the event was that the rich get richer. Let's take a look at some data. This chart shows our most recent estimates of IaaS and PaaS spending for the Big 3. And we're going to update this after earning season but there's a couple of points stand out. First, we want to make the point that combined the Big 3 now account for almost $80 billion of infrastructure spend last year. That $80 billion, was not all incremental (laughs) No it's caused consolidation and disruption in the on-prem data center business and within IT shops companies like Dell, HPE, IBM, Oracle many others have felt the heat and have had to respond with hybrid and cross cloud strategies. Second while it's true that Azure and GCP they appear to be growing faster than AWS. We don't know really the exact numbers, of course because only AWS provides a clean view of IaaS and passwords, Microsoft and Google. They kind of hide them all ball on their numbers which by the way, I don't blame them but they do leave breadcrumbs and clues on growth rates. And we have other means of estimating through surveys and the like, but it's undeniable Azure is closing the revenue gap on AWS. The third is that I like the fact that Azure and Google are growing faster than AWS. AWS is the only company by our estimates to grow its business sequentially last quarter. And in and of itself, that's not really enough important. What is significant is that because AWS is so large now at 45 billion, even at their slower growth rates it grows much more in absolute terms than its competitors. So we think AWS is going to keep its lead for some time. We think Microsoft and AWS will continue to lead the pack. You know, they might converge maybe it will be a 200 just race in terms of who's first who's second in terms of cloud revenue and how it's counted depending on what they count in their numbers. And Google look with its balance sheet and global network. It's going to play the long game and virtually everyone else with the exception of perhaps Alibaba is going to be secondary players on these platforms. Now this next graphic underscores that reality and kind of lays out the competitive landscape. What we're showing here is survey data from ETR of more than 1400 CIOs and IT buyers and on the vertical axis is Net Score which measures spending momentum on the horizontal axis is so-called Market Share which is a measure of pervasiveness in the data set. The key points are AWS and Microsoft look at it. They stand alone so far ahead of the pack. I mean, they really literally, it would have to fall down to lose their lead high spending velocity and large share of the market or the hallmarks of these two companies. And we don't think that's going to change anytime soon. Now, Google, even though it's far behind they have the financial strength to continue to position themselves as an alternative to AWS. And of course, an analytics specialist. So it will continue to grow, but it will be challenged. We think to catch up to the leaders. Now take a look at the hybrid zone where the field is playing. These are companies that have a large on-prem presence and have been forced to initiate a coherent cloud strategy. And of course, including multicloud. And we include Google in this so pack because they're behind and they have to take a differentiated approach relative to AWS, and maybe cozy up to some of these traditional enterprise vendors to help Google get to the enterprise. And you can see from the on-prem crowd, VMware Cloud on AWS is stands out as having some, some momentum as does Red Hat OpenShift, which is it's cloudy, but it's really sort of an ingredient it's not really broad IaaS specifically but it's a component of cloud VMware cloud which includes VCF or VMware Cloud Foundation. And even Dell's cloud. We would expect HPE with its GreenLake strategy. Its financials is shoring up, should be picking up momentum in the future in terms of what the customers of this survey consider cloud. And then of course you could see IBM and Oracle you're in the game, but they don't have the spending momentum and they don't have the CAPEX chops to compete with the hyperscalers IBM's cloud revenue actually dropped 7% last quarter. So that highlights the challenges that that company facing Oracle's cloud business is growing in the single digits. It's kind of up and down, but again underscores these two companies are really about migrating their software install basis to their captive clouds and as well for IBM, for example it's launched a financial cloud as a way to differentiate and not take AWS head-on an infrastructure as a service. The bottom line is that other than the Big 3 in Alibaba the rest of the pack will be plugging into hybridizing and cross-clouding those platforms. And there are definitely opportunities there specifically related to creating that abstraction layer that we talked about earlier and hiding that underlying complexity and importantly creating incremental value good examples, snowfallLike what snowflake is doing with its data cloud, what the data protection guys are doing. A company like Loomio is headed in that direction as are others. So, you keep an eye on that and think about where the white space is and where the value can be across-clouds. That's where the opportunity is. So let's see, what is this all going to look like? How does the cube community think it's going to unfold? Let's hear from theCUBE Guests and theCUBE on Cloud speakers and some of those highlights. Now, unfortunately we don't have time to show you clips from every speaker. We are like 10-plus hours of video content but we've tried to pull together some comments that summarize the sentiment from the community. So I'm going to have John Furrier briefly explain what theCUBE on Cloud is all about and then let the guests speak for themselves. After John, Pradeep Sindhu is going to give a nice technical overview of how the cloud was built out and what's changing in the future. I'll give you a hint it has to do with data. And then speaking of data, Mai-Lan Bukovec, who heads up AWS is storage portfolio. She'll explain how she views the coming changes in cloud and how they look at storage. Again, no surprise, it's all about data. Now, one of the themes that you'll hear from guests is the notion of a distributed cloud model. And Zhamak Deghani, he was a data architect. She'll explain her view of the future of data architectures. We also have thoughts from analysts like Zeus Karavalla and Maribel Lopez, and some comments from both Microsoft and Google to compliment AWS's view of the world. In fact, we asked JG Chirapurath from Microsoft to comment on the common narrative that Microsoft products are not best-to-breed. They put out a one dot O and then they get better, or sometimes people say, well, they're just good enough. So we'll see what his response is to that. And Paul Gillin asks, Amit Zavery of Google his thoughts on the cloud leaderboard and how Google thinks about their third-place position. Dheeraj Pandey gives his perspective on how technology has progressed and been miniaturized over time. And what's coming in the future. And then Simon Crosby gives us a framework to think about the edge as the most logical opportunity to process data not necessarily a physical place. And this was echoed by John Roese, and Chris Wolf to experience CTOs who went into some great depth on this topic. Unfortunately, I don't have the clips of those two but their comments can be found on the CTO power panel the technical edge it's called that's the segment at theCUBE on Cloud events site which we'll share the URL later. Now, the highlight reel ends with CEO Joni Klippert she talks about the changes in securing the cloud from a developer angle. And finally, we wrap up with a CIO perspective, Dan Sheehan. He provides some practical advice on building on his experience as a CIO, COO and CTO specifically how do you as a business technology leader deal with the rapid pace of change and still be able to drive business results? Okay, so let's now hear from the community please run the highlights. >> Well, I think one of the things we talked about COVID is the personal impact to me but other people as well one of the things that people are craving right now is information, factual information, truth, textures that we call it. But here this event for us Dave is our first inaugural editorial event. Rob, both Kristen Nicole the entire cube team, SiliconANGLE on theCUBE we're really trying to put together more of a cadence. We're going to do more of these events where we can put out and feature the best people in our community that have great fresh voices. You know, we do interview the big names Andy Jassy, Michael Dell, the billionaires of people making things happen, but it's often the people under them that are the real Newsmakers. >> If you look at the architecture of cloud data centers the single most important invention was scale-out. Scale-out of identical or near identical servers all connected to a standard IP ethernet network. That's the architecture. Now the building blocks of this architecture is ethernet switches which make up the network, IP ethernet switches. And then the server is all built using general purpose x86 CPU's with DRAM, with SSD, with hard drives all connected to inside the CPU. Now, the fact that you scale these server nodes as they're called out was very, very important in addressing the problem of how do you build very large scale infrastructure using general purpose compute but this architecture, Dave is a compute centric architecture. And the reason it's a compute centric architecture is if you open this, is server node. What you see is a connection to the network typically with a simple network interface card. And then you have CPU's which are in the middle of the action. Not only are the CPU's processing the application workload but they're processing all of the IO workload what we call data centric workload. And so when you connect SSDs and hard drives and GPU is everything to the CPU, as well as to the network you can now imagine that the CPU is doing two functions. It's running the applications but it's also playing traffic cop for the IO. So every IO has to go to the CPU and you're executing instructions typically in the operating system. And you're interrupting the CPU many many millions of times a second. Now general purpose CPU and the architecture of the CPU's was never designed to play traffic cop because the traffic cop function is a function that requires you to be interrupted very, very frequently. So it's critical that in this new architecture where does a lot of data, a lot of these stress traffic the percentage of workload, which is data centric has gone from maybe one to 2% to 30 to 40%. >> The path to innovation is paved by data. If you don't have data, you don't have machine learning you don't have the next generation of analytics applications that helps you chart a path forward into a world that seems to be changing every week. And so in order to have that insight in order to have that predictive forecasting that every company needs, regardless of what industry that you're in today, it all starts from data. And I think the key shift that I've seen is how customers are thinking about that data, about being instantly usable. Whereas in the past, it might've been a backup. Now it's part of a data Lake. And if you can bring that data into a data lake you can have not just analytics or machine learning or auditing applications it's really what does your application do for your business and how can it take advantage of that vast amount of shared data set in your business? >> We are actually moving towards decentralization if we think today, like if it let's move data aside if we said is the only way web would work the only way we get access to various applications on the web or pages to centralize it We would laugh at that idea. But for some reason we don't question that when it comes to data, right? So I think it's time to embrace the complexity that comes with the growth of number of sources, the proliferation of sources and consumptions models, embrace the distribution of sources of data that they're not just within one part of organization. They're not just within even bounds of organizations that are beyond the bounds of organization. And then look back and say, okay, if that's the trend of our industry in general, given the fabric of compensation and data that we put in, you know, globally in place then how the architecture and technology and organizational structure incentives need to move to embrace that complexity. And to me that requires a paradigm shift a full stack from how we organize our organizations how we organize our teams, how we put a technology in place to look at it from a decentralized angle. >> I actually think we're in the midst of the transition to what's called a distributed cloud, where if you look at modernized cloud apps today they're actually made up of services from different clouds. And also distributed edge locations. And that's going to have a pretty profound impact on the way we go vast. >> We wake up every day, worrying about our customer and worrying about the customer condition and to absolutely make sure we dealt with the best in the first attempt that we do. So when you take the plethora of products we've dealt with in Azure, be it Azure SQL be it Azure cosmos DB, Synapse, Azure Databricks, which we did in partnership with Databricks Azure machine learning. And recently when we sort of offered the world's first comprehensive data governance solution and Azure overview, I would, I would humbly submit to you that we are leading the way. >> How important are rankings within the Google cloud team or are you focused mainly more on growth and just consistency? >> No, I don't think again, I'm not worried about we are not focused on ranking or any of that stuff. Typically I think we are worried about making sure customers are satisfied and the adding more and more customers. So if you look at the volume of customers we are signing up a lot of the large deals we did doing. If you look at the announcement we've made over the last year has been tremendous momentum around that. >> The thing that is really interesting about where we have been versus where we're going is we spend a lot of time talking about virtualizing hardware and moving that around. And what does that look like? And creating that as more of a software paradigm. And the thing we're talking about now is what does cloud as an operating model look like? What is the manageability of that? What is the security of that? What, you know, we've talked a lot about containers and moving into different, DevSecOps and all those different trends that we've been talking about. Like now we're doing them. So we've only gotten to the first crank of that. And I think every technology vendor we talked to now has to address how are they are going to do a highly distributed management insecurity landscape? Like, what are they going to layer on top of that? Because it's not just about, oh, I've taken a rack of something, server storage, compute, and virtualized it. I know have to create a new operating model around it in a way we're almost redoing what the OSI stack looks like and what the software and solutions are for that. >> And the whole idea of we in every recession we make things smaller. You know, in 91 we said we're going to go away from mainframes into Unix servers. And we made the unit of compute smaller. Then in the year, 2000 windows the next bubble burst and the recession afterwards we moved from Unix servers to Wintel windows and Intel x86 and eventually Linux as well. Again, we made things smaller going from million dollar servers to $5,000 servers, shorter lib servers. And that's what we did in 2008, 2009. I said, look, we don't even need to buy servers. We can do things with virtual machines which are servers that are an incarnation in the digital world. There's nothing in the physical world that actually even lives but we made it even smaller. And now with cloud in the last three, four years and what will happen in this coming decade. They're going to make it even smaller not just in space, which is size, with functions and containers and virtual machines, but also in time. >> So I think the right way to think about edges where can you reasonably process the data? And it obviously makes sense to process data at the first opportunity you have but much data is encrypted between the original device say and the application. And so edge as a place doesn't make as much sense as edge as an opportunity to decrypt and analyze it in the care. >> When I think of Shift-left, I think of that Mobius that we all look at all of the time and how we deliver and like plan, write code, deliver software, and then manage it, monitor it, right like that entire DevOps workflow. And today, when we think about where security lives, it either is a blocker to deploying production or most commonly it lives long after code has been deployed to production. And there's a security team constantly playing catch up trying to ensure that the development team whose job is to deliver value to their customers quickly, right? Deploy as fast as we can as many great customer facing features. They're then looking at it months after software has been deployed and then hurrying and trying to assess where the bugs are and trying to get that information back to software developers so that they can fix those issues. Shifting left to me means software engineers are finding those bugs as they're writing code or in the CIC CD pipeline long before code has been deployed to production. >> During this for quite a while now, it still comes down to the people. I can get the technology to do what it needs to do as long as they have the right requirements. So that goes back to people making sure we have the partnership that goes back to leadership and the people and then the change management aspects right out of the gate, you should be worrying about how this change is going to be how it's going to affect, and then the adoption and an engagement, because adoption is critical because you can go create the best thing you think from a technology perspective. But if it doesn't get used correctly, it's not worth the investment. So I agree, what is a digital transformation or innovation? It still comes down to understand the business model and injecting and utilizing technology to grow our reduce costs, grow the business or reduce costs. >> Okay, so look, there's so much other content on theCUBE on Cloud events site we'll put the link in the description below. We have other CEOs like Kathy Southwick and Ellen Nance. We have the CIO of UI path. Daniel Dienes talks about automation in the cloud and Appenzell from Anaplan. And a plan is not her company. By the way, Dave Humphrey from Bain also talks about his $750 million investment in Nutanix. Interesting, Rachel Stevens from red monk talks about the future of software development in the cloud and CTO, Hillary Hunter talks about the cloud going vertical into financial services. And of course, John Furrier and I along with special guests like Sergeant Joe Hall share our take on key trends, data and perspectives. So right here, you see the coupon cloud. There's a URL, check it out again. We'll, we'll pop this URL in the description of the video. So there's some great content there. I want to thank everybody who participated and thank you for watching this special episode of theCUBE Insights Powered by ETR. This is Dave Vellante and I'd appreciate any feedback you might have on how we can deliver better event content for you in the future. We'll be doing a number of these and we look forward to your participation and feedback. Thank you, all right, take care, we'll see you next time. (upbeat music)

our studios in the heart of Silicon Valley Palo Alto California this is a cute conversation welcome to another wiki bond digital community event this one's sponsored by Columbia I'm your host Peter Burris any business that aspires to be a digital business needs to think about its data differently it needs to think about how data can be applied to customer experience value propositions operations that improve profitability and strategic options for the business as it moves forward but that means openly either we're thinking about how we embed data more deeply into our operations that means we must also think about how we're going to protect that data so the business does not suffer because someone got a hold of our data or corrupted our data or that a system just failed and we needed to restore that data very quickly now what we want to be able to do is we want to do that in a way that's natural and looks a lot like a cloud because we want that cloud experience in our data protection as well so that's we're going to talk about with clue Meo today a lot of folks think in terms of moving all the data into the cloud we think increasingly we have to recognize a cloud is not a strategy for centralizing data but rather distributing data and being able to protect that data where it is utilizing a simple common cloud like experience it's becoming an increasingly central competitive need for a lot of digital enterprises the first conversation we had was with a puja and Kumar who John is a CEO and co-founder of comeö let's hear a puja I had to say about data value data services and clue me oh who john welcome to the show Thank You Bertram nice to be here so give us the update in Colombia so Tomio is a two year old company right we just recently launched out of stealth so so far you know we we came out with the innovative offering which is a SAS solution to go and protect on premises you know VMware and BMC environments that's what we launched out of style two months ago we our best of show when we came out of stealth in in VMware 2019 well ultimately we started with a vision about you know protecting data irrespective of where it resides so it was all about you know you know on-premises on cloud and other SAS services so one single service that protects data irrespective of where it resides so far we executed on on-premises VMware and VM see today what we are announcing for the first time is our protection to go and protect applications natively built on AWS so these are applications that an aptitude natively built on AWS that clue me or as a service will protect irrespective of you know them running you know in one region or cross region cross accounts and a single service that will allow our customers to protect native AWS applications the other big announcement we are making is a new round of financing and that is testament to the interest in the space and the innovative nature of the platform that we have built so when we came out of stealth we announced we had raised two rounds of financing 51 million dollars in series a and Series B rounds of financing today what we are announcing is a Series C round of financing of 135 million dollars the largest I would say Series C financing for a SAS enterprise company especially a company that's a little over two years old Oh congratulations that's gonna buy a lot of new technology and a lot of customer engagement but what customers as I said up from where customers are really looking for is they're looking for tooling and methods and capabilities that allow them to treat their data differently talk a little bit about the central importance of data and how it's driving decisions of Cluny oh yes so fundamentally you know when we built out the the data platform it was about going after the data protection as the first use case in the platform longer term the journey really is to go from a data protection company to a data management company and this is possible for the first time because you have the public cloud on your side if you truly built a platform for the cloud on the public cloud you have this distinct advantage of now taking the data that you're protecting and really leveraging it for others that you can enable the enterprise for and this is exactly what enterprises are asking for especially as they you know you know make a transition from on-premises to the public cloud where they are powering on more and more applications in the public cloud and they really you know sometimes have no idea in terms of where the data is sitting and how they can take advantage of all these data sources that ultimately Klum is protecting well no idea where the data is sitting take advantage of these data sources presumably facilitate new classes of integration because that's how you generate value out of data that suggests that we're not just looking at protection as crucially important as it is we're looking at new classes of services they're going to make it possible to alter the way you think about data management if I got that right and what are those new services yes it's it's a journey as I said right so starting with you know again data protection it's also about doing data protection across multiple clouds right so ultimately we are a platform even though we are announcing you know AWS you know application support today we've already done VMware and VM C as we go along you'll see us kind of doing this across multiple clouds so an application that's built on the cloud running across multiple clouds AWS asher and GC p or whatever it might be you see as kind of doing data protection across in applications in multiple clouds and then it's about going and saying you know can we take advantage of the data that we are protecting and really power on adjacent use cases you know they could be security use cases because we know exactly what's changing when it's changing there could be infrastructure analytics use cases because people are running tens of thousands of instances and containers and n VMs in the public cloud and if a problem happens nobody really knows what caused it and we have all the data and we can kind of you know index it in the backend analyze in the backend without the customer needing to lift a finger and really show them what happened in their environment that they didn't know about right so there's a lot of interesting use cases that get powered on because you have the ability to index all the data here you have the ability to essentially look at all the changes that are happening and really give that visibility to the end customer and all of this one-click and automating it without the customer needing to do much I will tell you this that we've talked to a number of customers of Cuneo and the fundamental choice the clue mio choice was simplicity how are you going to sustain that even as you add these new classes of services yes that is the key right and that is about the foundation we have built at the end of the day right so if you look at all of our customers that have you know on-boarded today it's really the experience where in less than you know 15 minutes they can essentially start enjoying the power of the platform and the backend that we have built and the focus on design that we have is ultimately why we are able to do this with simplicity so so when we when we think about you know all the things we do in the backend there's obviously a lot of complexity in the backend because it is a complex platform but every time we ask ourselves the question that okay from a customer perspective how do we make sure that it is one click and easy for them so that focus and that attention to detail that we have behind the scenes to make sure that the customer ultimately should just consume the service and should not need to do anything more than what they absolutely need to do so that they can essentially focus on what adds value to their business takes a lot of Technology a lot of dedication to make complex things really simple absolutely whoo John Kumar CEO and co-founder of Clue leo thanks very much for being on the cube Thank You bigger great conversation with poo John data value leading to data services now let's think a little bit more about how enterprises ultimately need to start thinking about how to manifest that in a cloud rich world Chad Kenny is the vice president and chief technologist at Kumi oh and Chad and I had an opportunity to sit down and talk about some of the interesting approaches that are possible because of cloud and very importantly to talk about a new announcement that clew mios making as they expand their support of different cloud types let's see what Chad had to say the notion of data services has been around for a long time but it's being upended recast reformed as a consequence of what cloud can do but that also means that cloud is creating new ways of thinking about data services new opportunities to entry and drive this powerful approach of thinking about digital businesses centralized assets and to have that conversation about what that means we've got Chad Kenny who's a VP and chief technologist of comeö with us today Chad welcome to the cube thanks so much for having me okay so let's start with that notion of data services and the role the clouds gonna play loomio has looked at this problem with this challenge from the ground up what does that mean so if you look at the the cloud as a whole customers have gone through a significant journey we've seen you know that the first shadow IT kind of play out where people decided to go to the cloud IT was too slow it moved into kind of a cloud first movement where people realize the power of cloud services that then got them to understand a little bit of interesting things that played out one moving applications as they exist were not very efficient and so they needed to react exort anapa second SAS was a core way of getting to the cloud in a very simplistic fashion without having to do much of whatsoever and so for applications that were not core competencies they realized they should go SAS and for anything that was a core competency they needed to really reaaargh attack to be able to take advantage of those you know very powerful cloud services and so when you look at it if people were to develop applications today cloud is the default that you'd go towards and so for us we had the luxury of building from the cloud up on these very powerful cloud services to enable a much more simple model for our customers to consume but even more so to be able to actually leverage the agility and elasticity of the cloud think about this for a quick second we can take facilities break them up expand them across many different computer resources within the cloud versus having to take kind of what you did on Prem in a single server or multitudes of servers and try to plant that in the cloud from a customer's experience perspective it's vastly different you get a world where you don't think about how you manage the infrastructure how you manage the service you just consume it and the value that customers get out of that is not only getting their data there which is the on-ramp around our data protection mechanisms but also being able to leverage cloud native services on top of that data in the longer term as we have this one common global index and path and what we're super excited today to announce is that we're adding in AWS native capabilities to be able to date and protect that data in the public cloud and this is kind of the default place where most people go to from a cloud perspective to really get their applications up and running and take advantage of a lot of those cloud native services well if you're gonna be cloud native and promised to customers as you can support their workloads you got to be obviously on AWS so congratulations on that but let's go back to this notion of user word powerful mm-hmm 80 of us is a mature platform GCPs coming along very rapidly asher is you know also very very good and there are others as well but sometimes enterprises discover that they have to make some trade-offs to get the simplicity they have to get less function to get the reliability they have to get rid of simplicity how does ku mio think through those trade-offs to deliver that simple that powerful that reliable platform for something as important as data protection and data services in general so we wanted to create an experience that was single click discover everything and be able to help people consume that service quickly and if you look at the problem that people are dealing with a customer's talked to us about this all the time is the power of the cloud resulted in hundreds if not thousands of accounts within AWS and now you get into a world where you're having to try to figure out how do I manage all of these for one discover all of it and consistently make sure that my data which as you've mentioned is incredibly important to businesses today as protect it and so having that one common view is incredibly important to start with and the simplicity of that is immensely powerful when you look at what we do as a business to make sure that that continues to occur is first we leverage cloud native services on the back which are complex and and and you know getting those things to run and orchestrate are things that we build on the back end on the front end we take the customer's view and looking at what is the most simple way of getting this experience to occur for both discovery as well as you know backup for recovery and even being able to search in a global fashion and so really taking their seats to figure out what would be the easiest way to both consume the service and then also be able to get value from it by running that service AWS has been around well AWS in many respects founded the cloud industry it's it's you know certainly Salesforce and the south side but AWS is the first company to make the promise that it was going to provide this very flexible very powerful very agile infrastructure as a service and they've done an absolutely marvelous job about it and they've also advanced the state of the art of the technology dramatically and in many respects are in the driver's seat what trade offs what limits does your new platform face as it goes to AWS or is it the same coolio experience adding now all of the capabilities of AWS it's a great question because I think a lot of solutions out there today are different parts and pieces kind of klom together well we built is a platform that these new services just get instantly added next time you log into that service you'll see that that available to you and you can just go ahead and log in to your accounts and be able to discover directly and I think that the Vout the power of SAS is really that not only have we made it immensely secure which is something that people think about quite a bit with having you know not only data in flight but data at rest encryption and and leveraging really the cloud capabilities of security but we've made it incredibly simple for them to be able to consume that easily literally not lift a finger to get anything done it's available for you when you log into that system and so having more and more data sources in one single pane of glass and being able to see all the accounts especially in AWS where you have quite a few of those accounts and to be able to apply policies in a consistent fashion to ensure that you're you know compliant within the environment for whatever business requirements that you have around data protection is immensely powerful to our customers Chad Kenney chief technologist plumie Oh thanks very much for being on the tube thank you great conversation Chad especially interested in hearing about how klum EO is being extended to include AWS services within its overall data protection approach and obviously into Data Services but let's take a little bit more into that Columbia was actually generated and prepared a short video that we could take a look at that goes a little bit more deeply into how this is all going to work [Music] enterprises are moving rapidly to the cloud embracing sass for simplified delivery of key services in this cloud centric world IT teams can focus on more strategic work accelerating digital transformation initiatives when it comes to backup IT is stuck designing patching and capacity planning for on-premise systems snapshots alone for data protection in the public cloud is risky and there are hundreds of unprotected SAS applications in the typical enterprise the move to cloud should make backup simpler but it can quickly become exponentially worse it's time to rethink the backup experience what if there were no hardware software or virtual appliances to size configure manage or even buy it all and by adding Enterprise backup public cloud workloads are no longer exposed to accidental data deletion and ransomware at Clube o we deliver secure data backup and recovery without any of that complexity or risk we provide all of the critical functions of enterprise backup d dupe and scheduling user and key management and cataloging because we're built in the public cloud we can rapidly deliver new innovations and take advantage of inherent data security controls our mission is to protect your data wherever it's stored the clew mio authentic SAS backup experienced scales on-demand to manage and protect your data more easily and efficiently and without things like cloud bills or egress charges pluto gives you predictable costs monitoring global backup compliance is far simpler and the built-in always-on security of Clue mio means that your data is safe take advantage of the cloud for backup with no constraints clew mio authentic SAS for the enterprise great video as we think about moving forward in the future and what customers are trying to do we have to think more in terms of the native services that cloud can provide and how to fully exploit them to increase the aggregate flexible both within our enterprises but also based on what our supplies have to offer we had a great conversation with wounds Young who is the CTO and co-founder of Clue mio about just that let's hear it wound had to say everybody's talking about the cloud and what the cloud might be able to do for their business the challenge is there are a limited number of people in the world who really understands what it means to build for the cloud utilizing the cloud it's a lot of approximations out there but not a lot of folks are deeply involved in actually doing it right we've got one here with us today woo Jung is the CTO and co-founder of Cluny o moon welcome to the cube how they tittie here so let's start with this issue of what it means to build for the cloud now loomio has made the decision to have everything fit into that as a service model what is that practically mean so from the engineering point of view building our SAS application is fundamentally different so the way that I'll go and say is that at Combe you know we actually don't build software and ship software what we actually do it will service and service is what we actually ship to our customers let me give you an example in the case of chromium they say backups fail like software sometimes fails and we get that failures too the difference in between criminal and traditional solutions is that if something were to fail we are the one detecting that failure before our customers - not only that when something fails we actually know exactly why you fail therefore we can actually troubleshoot it and we can actually fix it and upgrade the service without the customer intervention so it's not about the bugs also or about the troubleshooting aspect but it's also about new features if you were to introduce our new features we can actually do this without having customers upgraded code we will actually do it ourselves so essentially it frees the customers from actually doing all these actions because we will do them on behalf of them at scale and I think that's the second thing I want to talk about quickly is that the ability to use the cloud to do many of the things that you're talking about at scale creates incredible ranges of options that customers have at their disposal so for example AWS customers have historically used things like snapshots to provide a modicum of data protection to their AWS workloads but there are other new options that could be applied if the system's are built to supply them give us a sense of how kkumeul is looking at this question of you know snapshots versus something else yeah so basically traditionally even on the on print side of the things you have something called a snapshot and you had your backups right and they're they're fundamentally different but if you actually shift your gears and you look at what they WS offers today they actually offers the ability for you to take snapshots but actually that's not a backup right and they're fundamentally different so let's talk about it a little bit more what it means to be snapshots and a backup right so let's say there's a bad actor and your account gets compromised like your AWS account gets compromised so then the bad actor has access not only to the EBS volumes but also to the EBS snapshots what that means is that that person can actually go ahead and delete the EBS volume as well as the EBS snapshots now if you had a backup let's say you actually take a backup of that EBS volume to Kumu that bad actor will have access to the EBS volumes however you won't be able to delete the backup that we actually have in Kumu so in the whole thing the idea of Kumi on is that you should be able to protect all of your assets that being either an on-prem or an AWS by setting up a single policies and these are true backups and not just snapshots and that leads to the last question I have which is ultimately the ability to introduce these capabilities at scale creates a lot of new opportunities that customers can utilize to do a better job of building applications but also I presume managing how they use AWS because snapshots and other types of service can expand dramatically which can increase your cost how is doing it better with things like native backup services improve a customer's ability to administer their AWS spend and accounts great question so essentially if you look at the enterprise's today obviously they have multiple you know on-premise data centers and also a different cloud providers that the you like AWS and Azure and also a few SAS applications right so then the idea is for kkumeul is to create this single platform where all of these things can actually be backed up in a uniform way where you can actually manage all of them and then the other thing is all doing it in the cloud so if you think about it if you don't solve the poem fundamentally in the cloud there's things that you end up paying later on so let's take an example right moving bytes moving bytes in between one server to the other traditionally basically moving bytes from one rack to the other it was always free you never had to pay anything for that certainly in the data center alright but if you actually go to the public cloud you cannot say the same thing right basically moving by it across aw s recent regions is not free anymore moving data from AWS to the on premises that's not free either so these are all the things that any you know car provider service provider like ours has to consider and actually solve so that the customers can only back it up into Kumu but then they actually can leverage different cloud providers you know in a seamless way without having to worry all of this costs associated with it so kkumeul we should be able to back it up but we should be able to also offer mobility in between either AWS backup VMware or VNC so if I can kind of summarize what you just said that you want to be able to provide to an account to an enterprise the ability to not have to worry about the backend infrastructure from a technical and process standpoint but not also have to worry so much about the backend infrastructure from a cost and financial standpoint that by providing a service and then administering how that service is optimally handled the customer doesn't have to think about some of those financial considerations of moving data around in the same way that they used to oh I got that right I absolutely yes basically multiple accounts multiple regions multiple providers it is extremely hard to manage what Cuneo does it will actually provide you a single pane of glass where you can actually manage them all but then if you actually think about just and manageability this actually you can actually do that by just building a management layer on top of it but more importantly you and we need to have a single data you know repository for you for us to be able to provide a true mobility in between them one is about managing but the other thing is about if you're done if you're done it the real the right way it provides you the ability to move them and it leverages the cloud power so that you don't have to worry about the cloud expenses but kkumeul internally is the one are actually optimizing all of this try our customers wound jeong CTO and co-founder of Kaleo thanks very much for being on the queue thank you thanks very much moon I want to thank chromeo for providing this important content about the increasingly important evolution of data protection and cloud now here's your opportunity to weigh in on this crucially important arena what do you think about this evolving relationship how do you foresee it operating in your enterprise what comments do you have what questions do you have of the thought leaders from Cluny oh and elsewhere that's what we're gonna do now we're gonna go into the crowd chat and we're gonna hear from each other about this really important topic and what you foresee in your enterprise as your digital business transforms let's crouch at

and II just think about how data could be customer experience value propositions operations that improve profitability and strategic options for the business as it moves forward but that means openly either we're thinking about how we embed data more deeply into our operations that means we must also think about how we're going to protect that data so the business does not suffer because someone got a hold of our data or corrupted our data or that a system just failed and we needed to restore that data very quickly now what we want to be able to do is we want to do that in a way that's natural and looks a lot like a cloud because we want that cloud experience in our data protection as well so that's we're going to talk about with Klum you know today a lot of folks think in terms of moving all the data into the cloud we think increasingly we have to recognize a cloud is not a strategy for centralizing data but rather distributing data and being able to protect that data where it is utilizing a simple common cloud like experience it's becoming an increasingly central competitive need for a lot of digital enterprises the first conversation we had was with pooja Kumar who John is a CEO and co-founder of Kaleo let's hear a pooja I had to say about data value data services and Kumi Oh poo John welcome to the show thank you Peter nice to be here so give us the update in clue so comeö is a two year old company right we just recently launched out of stealth so so far you know we we came out with innovative offering which is a SAS solution to go and protect on premises you know VMware and BMC environments that's what we launched out of style two months ago we won our best of show when we came out of stealth in in VMware 2019 but ultimately we started with a vision about you know protecting data irrespective of where it resides so it was all about you know you know on-premises on cloud and other SAS services so one single service that protects data irrespective of where it resides so far we executed on on-premises VMware and BMC today what we are announcing for the first time is our protection to go and protect applications natively built on AWS so these are applications that are natively built on AWS that loomio as a service will protect irrespective of you know them running you know in one region or cross region cross accounts and a single service that will allow our customers to protect native AWS applications the other big announcement we are making is a new round of financing and that is testament to the interest in the space and the innovative nature of the platform that we have built so when we came out of stealth we announced we had raised two rounds of financing 51 million dollars in series a and Series B rounds of financing today what we are announcing is a Series C round of financing of 135 million dollars the largest I would say Series C financing for a SAS enterprise company especially a company that's a little over two years old Oh congratulations that's gonna buy a lot of new technology and a lot of customer engagement but what customers as I said up from what customers are really looking for is they're looking for tooling and methods and capabilities that allow them to treat their data differently talk a bit about the central importance of data and how it's driving decisions of Cluny oh yes so fundamentally you know when we built out the the data platform it was about going after the data protection as the first use case on the platform longer term the journey really is to go from a data protection company to a data management company and this is possible for the first time because you have the public cloud on your side if you truly built a platform for the cloud on the public cloud you have this distinct advantage of now taking the data that you're protecting and really leveraging it for other services that you can enable the enterprise for and this is exactly what enterprises are asking for especially as they you know you know make a transition from on-premises to the public cloud where they're powering on more and more applications in the public cloud and they really you know sometimes have no idea in terms of where the data is sitting and how they can take advantage of all these data sources that ultimately protecting well no idea where the data is sitting take advantage of these data sources presumably facilitate new classes of integration because that's how you generate value out of data that suggests that we're not just looking at protection as crucial and important as it is we're looking at new classes of services they're going to make it possible to alter the way you think about data management if I got that right and what are those new services yes it's it's a journey as I said right so starting with you know again data protection it's also about doing data protection across multiple clouds right so ultimately we are a platform even though we are announcing you know AWS you know application support today we've already done VMware and BMC as we go along you'll see us kind of doing this across multiple clouds so an application that's built on the cloud running across multiple clouds AWS ashore and GCP or whatever it might be you see as kind of doing data protection across in applications in multiple clouds and then it's about going and saying you know can we take advantage of the data that we are protecting and really power on adjacent use cases you know there could be security use cases because we know exactly what's changing when it's changing there could be infrastructure analytics use cases because people are running tens of thousands of instances and containers and VMs in the public cloud and if a problem happens nobody really knows what caused it and we have all the data and we can kind of you know index it in the backend analyze in the backend without the customer needing to lift a finger and really show them what happened in their environment that they didn't know about right so there's a lot of interesting use cases that get powered on because you have the ability to index all the data here you have the ability to essentially look at all the changes that are happening and really give that visibility to the end customer and all of this one-click and automating it without the customer needing to do much I will tell you this that we've talked to a number of customers of Cuneo and the fundamental choice the clue Meo choice was simplicity how are you going to sustain that even as you add these new classes of services that is the key right and that is about the foundation we have built at the end of the day right so if you look at all of our customers that have you know on boarded today it's really the experience we're in less than you know 15 minutes they can we start enjoying the power of the platform and the backend that we have built and the focus on design that we have is ultimately why we are able to do this with simplicity so so when we when we think about you know all the things we do in the back end there's obviously a lot of complexity in the back end because it is a complex platform but every time we ask ourselves the question that okay from a customer perspective how do we make sure that it is one click and easy for them so that focus and that attention to detail that we have behind the scenes to make sure that the customer ultimately should just consume the service and should not need to do anything more than what they absolutely need to do so that they can essentially focus on what adds value to their business takes a lot of technology a lot of dedication to make complex things really simple absolutely whoo John Kumar CEO and co-founder of coolio thanks very much for being on the cube Thank You bigger great conversation with poo John data value leading to data services now let's think a little bit more about how enterprises ultimately need to start thinking about how to manifest that in a cloud rich world Chad Kenney is the vice president and chief acknowledges of Cuneo and Chad and I had an opportunity to sit down and talk about some of the interesting approaches that are possible because of cloud and very importantly to talk about a new announcement that clue miios making as they expand their support of different cloud types let's see what Chad had to say the notion of data services has been around for a long time but it's being upended recast reformed as a consequence of what cloud can do but that also means that cloud is creating new ways of thinking about data services new opportunities to introduce and drive this powerful approach of thinking about digital businesses centralized assets and to have that conversation about what that means we've got Chad Kenny who's a VP and chief technologists of comeö with us today Chad welcome to the cube thanks so much for having me okay so let's start with that notion of data services and the role the clouds going to play Kumi always looked at this problem this challenge from the ground up what does that mean so if you look at the the cloud as a whole customers have gone through a significant journey we've seen you know that the first shadow IT kind of play out where people decided to go to the cloud IT was too slow it moved into kind of a cloud first movement where people realize the power of cloud services that then got them to understand a little bit of interesting things that played out one moving applications as they exist were not very efficient and so they needed to react attack certain applications second SAS was a core way of getting to the cloud in a very simplistic fashion without having to do much of whatsoever and so for applications that were not core competencies they realized they should go SACEM for anything that was a core competency they needed to really reaaargh attack to be able to take advantage of those you know very powerful cloud services and so when you look at it if people were to develop applications today cloud is the default that you'd go towards and so for us we had the luxury of building from the cloud up on these very powerful cloud services to enable a much more simple model for our customers to consume but even more so to be able to actually leverage the agility and elasticity of the cloud think about this for a quick second we can take facilities break them up expand them across many different compute resources within the cloud versus having to take kind of what you did on prim in a single server or multitudes of servers and try to plant that in the cloud from a customer's experience perspective it's vastly different you get a world where you don't think about how you manage the infrastructure how you manage the service you just consume it and the value that customers get out of that is not only getting their data there which is the on-ramp around our data protection mechanisms but also being able to leverage cloud native services on top of that data in the longer term as we have this one common global index and platform what we're super excited today to announce is that we're adding in AWS native capabilities to be able to date and protect that data in the public cloud and this is kind of the default place where most people go to from a cloud perspective to really get their applications up and running and take advantage a lot of those cloud native services well if you're gonna be cloud native and promise to customers as you're going to support their workloads you got to be obviously on AWS so congratulations on that but let's go back to this notion of user word powerful mm-hmm AWS is a mature platform GCPs coming along very rapidly asher is you know also very very good and there are others as well but sometimes enterprises discover that they have to make some trade-offs to get the simplicity they have to get less function to get the reliability they have to get rid of simplicity how does qu mio think through those trade-offs to deliver that simple that powerful that reliable platform for something as important as data protection and data services in general so we wanted to create an experience that was single click discover everything and be able to help people consume that service quickly and if you look at the problem that people are dealing with a customer's talked to us about this all the time is the power of the cloud resulted in hundreds if not thousands of accounts within AWS and now you get into a world where you're having to try to figure out how do I manage all of these for one discover all of it and consistently make sure that my data which as you've mentioned is incredibly important to businesses today as protect it and so having that one common view is incredibly important to start with and the simplicity of that is immensely powerful when you look at what we do as a business to make sure that that continues to occur is first we leverage cloud native services on the back which are complex and and and you know getting those things to run and orchestrate are things that we build on the back end on the front end we take the customer's view and looking at what is the most simple way of getting this experience to occur for both discovery as well as you know backup for recovery and even being able to search in a global fashion and so really taking their seats to figure out what would be the easiest way to both consume the service and then also be able to get value from it by running that service AWS has been around well AWS in many respects founded the cloud industry it's it's you know certainly Salesforce and the south side but AWS is that first company to make the promise that it was going to provide this very flexible very powerful very a a July infrastructure as a service and they've done an absolutely marvelous job about it and they've also advanced the state of your technology dramatically and in many respects are in the driver's seat what trade offs what limits does your new platform face as it goes to AWS or is it the same Coolio experience adding now all of the capabilities of AWS it's a great question because I think a lot of solutions out there today are different parts and pieces kind of clump together well we built is a platform that these new services just get instantly added next time you log into that service you'll see that that available to you and you can just go ahead and log in to your accounts and be able to discover directly and I think that the vow the power of SAS is really that not only have we made it immensely secure which is something that people think about quite a bit with having you know not only data in flight but data at rest encryption and and leveraging really the cloud capabilities of security but we've made it incredibly simple for them to be able to consume that easily literally not lift a finger to get anything done it's available for you when
