>> live from San Francisco, celebrating 10 years of high tech coverage. It's the Cube covering Veum World 2019 brought to you by IBM Wear and its ecosystem partners. >> Oh, good afternoon and welcome back as we continue our coverage live here on the cue from Mosconi North in beautiful San Francisco. Clouds of melted away In a way, of course, we're still talking about hybrid Multi. They're not going anywhere. In fact, there are very much entrenched into this show. John Wall's Justin Warren. Glad to have You with us. Joined now by Kevin Chats. Camera. Who's the vice president of Product management Enterprise and SP Solutions of Dental Technologies. Kevin. Good to see you again, sir. Nice to see you, too. Two shots in one week on the Q. We love that and Wait Holmes, who's the director of technical product management at Veum? Where? Wade, Good to see you this afternoon. >> But if you also >> so this this is kind of your party here, VM where? I mean, just give me your impression so far. First off, just kind of what you're sensing that the vibe here of the show and, ah, the kind of work that you're getting done. >> So the vibe here is excitement. I mean, I think everyone's excited about a lot of the announcements around either probably Pacific and how we're redefining the V's Fair platform and Tan Xue and now these capabilities on how these capabilities are going to be able to enhance our capabilities of our cloud provider partners. So I'm part of our club fighter salt for business unit, who specifically makes products and solutions for our cloud provider V, C P P program. And I think couldn't beam or excitement. And they've been a crescendo the past few years and be anywhere and b m world. And I think this has been one of the best ever. >> If the waves hitting the shore big time now. So you you talk about cloud providers about service providers. I mean, one of the same. Or Or how do you guys define that now? Or how do you separate that? >> Yeah, I think these terms are largely used interchangeably. To a large degree, I think if we look att at the cloud industry in the provider industry over the last several years, maybe about 5 to 7 years ago, there was a belief from every single cloud provider that they needed to build a scaled platform like a W s like Microsoft Azure like Google Compute. And that they were all in the business of a race to building the most robust, most scalable, most feature rich, most differentiated cloud that was largely erased the bottom from an economics perspective. And I think just about all of all of the service providers and now these cloud providers that we work with have really moved to a different model. What they've recognized is first off. The race to the hyper scale is not a profitable business that you want to race against. Number two. Ah, the transition for large enterprise I t small enterprise medium business to the cloud is so complex that it's not a game of building clouds and not a game of building platforms. It's a game of building practices at this point and cloud providers or building practices that allow them to find their own niche and differentiation off differentiated offerings. Whether that be on Prem Private Cloud hosted Private Cloud and then partnering with the hyper scale er's for the massively scaled multi tenant cloud world. And when we start to realize that this managed offering these cloud practices are there to help the enterprise and small medium business in their transition to the public cloud in transition to cloud and moving towards more managed I t offerings. What we're finding is the reemergence of these cloud providers in a meaningful way, starting to bridge the gap of skill, set, mismatches and expertise. Mismatches at Enterprise I t just doesn't have to embrace cloud technology. >> Yeah, for a long time there, there was the cloud Geraghty, who were saying that the public cloud is the only way this is gonna happen. Everything's going to be there. And some some of us I would count myself among them was a little bit skeptical about that. That approach to things and a lot of it with a lot of the pressure on on service providers was you don't even bother getting into the cloud business. Just shut up shop and go home. This is never going to be a good idea for you to compete in this at all. And it sounds like that that some of these providers have actually gone. You know what we've We've got a viable business here. There are customers here who need things done that we do really well that are not available out in public Cloud. So what are some of the things that some of the things that you're hearing from these cloud cloud providers, that that they are finding from customers that they value, that they not finding anywhere else? >> So I grew 100% that the club wider there, find their business is still growing, and it's due to their expertise. Is Kevin said, that the building practices they understand enterprise customers? Veum, Where business? They understand the platform that they're running the enterprise and are able to provide additional differentiated service's while leverage in the technology that the enterprise they're utilizing in their own data centers. So it's able to pride value out of service is with the same platform that air using in their own premises and providing those capability of same platform in a cloud model. So, given a pragmatic way for enterprises to be able to migrate to a cloud in a hybrid cloud, >> are there specific practices you noticing that is that kind of stand out as being particularly common? >> Yeah, s so I think that through the answer is yes, right? And the answer is that vertical expertise is king here, right? Understanding the industries in which the cloud platforms get deployed and how those industries consume. Resource is the use cases. How they monetize their business is key for success. But I think that what we where we've lived over the last several years is that the building blocks for all of these vertical industries, the only uniform way you had to do it was with the massively scaled public cloud providers. The hyper scale er's what we're doing now, Adele Technologies Cloud is we're enabling a consistent set of building blocks for all of these vertical industries that all of these vertical X three experts in the vertical industries across the cloud providers can then bring a common building block and go address the complex problems of building the use cases, building the monetization models, building the differentiated feature set. >> So I mean, can you give me an example? I mean, what you talking about? It's like if you're going about health care versus transportation versus manufacturing, some things that were going to a different way, we're going to slice this That's right. It's a different >> set of ecosystem partners. It's a different set of vertical applications, a different set of problems. It's different set of monetization models across the board, right? You know, retail has very specific requirements around Leighton See sensitivity and the need to be able to address micro transactions. Security capabilities of those transactions or what not, Health care is governed by hip on various other legislative. When you build in Europe, you have, ah, various data protection and privacy implications to keep in mind. It's right, so all of this is not typically available in public Cloud Public Cloud is built for a lowest common denominator. One size fits all, and then you come bring differentiation. On top of that now is enterprise. I T organizations start to migrate their workloads to Public Cloud. They're looking for consistency in terms of how they've lived before and how they work before how they've operated before. How do they migrate those applications, right? It's not I'm building everything natively for public cloud is that I have an entire set of applications that were designed in my enterprise i d environment that I just want to find a new way to operate in VM wears a consistent abstraction. Layers is really the path forward, So DT Cloud on Deli emcee and TT Cloud leveraging the public cloud providers in the V M wear abstraction with both feet spheres. Well, it's vey cloud foundations, eyes really a commonality that they can now the uses a foundational building block for all their service is >> yes. So where one of the things that a lot of customers have invested over a decade or Maur envy em where? And they have a lot of processes and tools and skills that they have invested in. And it sounds like for some of these cloud providers specializing in a particular industry, that there's a risk there that you will end up with building blocks that, yes, they're customized for one particular thing. But now I have to operate them a little bit differently. And now I've got a lot of different ways of doing things, and particularly as a provider, then that that adds cost. And I want to try to get some of those costs out there because they think that influences my margin. So is the choice. Of'em were one way of dealing with that because I can maintain that same consistent way of managing things. >> Absolutely. And that's key to some of the work that VM wear and Dell has been working together on two. Allow for Kevin Mention, Adele Technology Cloud Platform, which the baseline of that is being more cloud foundation. So been ableto have that homogeneous operational model, and Mona's data plane set is the same V sphere and XXV sand based originality perspective. So the operational model, whether it's in the providers infrastructure or whether it's on premises within enterprise is similar. >> And I think there's even 1/3 vector to this, which is, um, yeah, one public cloud provider is not gonna win. All of the public cloud providers are going to exist, and the scale of a Microsoft azure and the scale of an AWS on a scale of a Google compute put them in position to continue to lead this industry forward. And it's it's difficult to bet on one horse, right? So the GMC model on the DT Cloud model allows us to be able to scale across all of these different cloud providers and as an enterprise organization that's making specific decisions based on region or based on other financials that some of these workloads are going to say in AWS, and some of them are going to sit in Microsoft Azure, etcetera, etcetera is a common abstraction across all of them. >> But at that point, I mean the fact that you're talking about, um, vertical practices, right? Verticals having practices that might be unique to their particular industry. And now you're talking about them deciding that they might all flowed work Thio, maybe an azure. Maybe in Google. Maybe I'd be it. Whatever, Um, I mean multiple complexities for you in dealing with that because you're gonna be the translator, right? You've got to be. You've got to be multi lingual, not only within in the cloud world, but also in a vertical world too. Right? So tough road for you guys to provide that kind of flexibility and that kind of knowledge. >> Oh, I mean, that's the key to the software and solutions that GM was providing and allowing for solutions and sat space capabilities to provide a modernise, softer, defined capabilities across clouds or a and be able to manage things across, such as cost in via cloud health and other manage service's capabilities by our software platform and then be ableto have this. These capabilities in the Bean Imlay consumed by providers and turnkey fashion by utilizing del technologies, bx rail are and VCF one VX rail and having us all package together, and so that providers no longer have to focus on building a core infrastructure. But they're now able to focus on that integration layer. Focus on the additional higher level service is that are able to stitch together the use this multi cloud environment >> decision logic that our customers have. It's just so complex, and I think that the message that we've heard loud and clear from them is that they feel like once they're in particular ecosystem, they're locked into that ecosystem. And the more that we can do that give them flexibility to bring these ecosystems together and leverage the benefits and the capabilities and the regional and geo location of just about all the different ecosystems that exists and build their own ecosystems. On top of that, especially if you're a cloud provider, is really what they're looking to do. And when the foundational building blocks all look different, the integration look different the automation look different. The orchestration look different in the storage. Later look different. It's just It was impossible, right? It's really on us to provide an abstraction to make that easy for them to accomplish their business. >> Consistent foundation is critical, and that's what we're bringing through the cloud provider today. >> One thing that has changed from from technology of 12 12 15 20 years ago is the consumption model that cloud has provided. S. So what are you seeing around service providers, providing that pretty much you have to provide if your cloud provided you have to provide some kind of consumption model because that's what people have in their minds when they think about about Cloud it is. It's not just about the technology side of things. Actually, we're out the business operations about, you know, the financing and the funding models of things. What are you seeing with the cloud providers and service providers? How are they changing the way that they allow people to finance the buy of this infrastructure? >> So that's one of the pieces that, in being where Rendell is working together to allow for not just software, which through the visa program all of our software solutions are consumed through a subscription like model. So it's pay as you go, but also be able to consume hardware and consume the turnkey patches package so that VCF on Vieques rail and the Cloud Provider platform can be consumed in a pay as you go subscription model, which is a way that providers want to be able to then provides software and capabilities to their enterprise customers. >> Have they completely changed across to being purely consumption? Or do we still have a lot of industries that preferred by things that with Catholics >> it would be fantastic if the world converged on one answer? Everything is always easier when there's one answer. But I think, ah, one of the things we recognize is that, ah, and it's true and technology. It's true in business models. It's true. In operational models, there's never in. It's never just a or answer right. It's always an end, and there's a need for us to embrace multiple different models in order to meet the needs of our customers. And even a single service provider will find particular areas that they wanted, consumption based model and others that they realize that it's a well entrenched business for them, and the risk is a little bit lower, and they're willing to take on that risk and look at a Cap IX base model right there. Certainly financial implications to both an Op X and the Catholics model. There's tax implications, and you know where. We're still a little bit all over the map in terms of their preferences. >> Hopefully, we'll see that shake out a little bit and we'll have some standard patents to match the practices that will just make it a little bit easier to design the solution. >> I think the Saturn standard pattern that I expect to emerge is that we have to do everything >> for everyone >> in every way that they want to see. >> Oh, you left there, Kevin. I can't imagine that being too difficult. Everything. Everyone it all at every time. That's right. All right. Hey, thanks for the time of and the discussion and good luck with handling that. I know. That's a that's a big lift on. I know we're joking, but, uh, it's a great world for you. Certainly exciting time. And we thank you for your time here. >> Thank you. Thank you guys appreciate the time. >> I appreciate being World 2019. Coverage continues right here on the Cube. We're live and we're in San Francisco.

>> live from San Francisco, celebrating 10 years of high tech coverage. It's the Cube covering Veum World 2019 brought to you by the M wear and its ecosystem partners. >> Welcome back. I'm Stew Minuteman here with John Troyer. We're have three days, Walter Wall coverage here at VM World 2019 with lobbying Mosconi North and happy to welcome to the program. To my right is Tom Burns, who is the senior vice president general manager of networking and Solutions at Delhi Emcee and sitting to his right. Another Tom. We have Tom Gillis, who's the S V p and general manager of networking of Security inside VM wear. So I'm super excited. Go back to my roots of networking. Tom and Tom thanks so much for joining us. >> Thanks for having us. Thanks for All >> right. So, you know, Tom, you and I have talked for years now about you know, it was not just s t n, but you know, the changes in the environment. Of course, you know, networking and compute, you know, smashing together and where the role of software in this whole environment has changed. So, you know, let's start, you know, there's some news. Let's get that cover the hard news first. VM Where has the networking pieces? Dell has some software networking pieces also, and there's some more co mingling of those. So maybe walk us through that. >> Absolutely. I think the story this week is about the collaboration that's happening between Tom's team and my team in kind of innovating and disrupting in the traditional networking world. You know, Tom Sad NSX around micro segmentation network virtualization lot going on with analytics and capability to really see what's going on. The network from Cord Out EJ to cloud the acquisition of RV, which is outstanding. Other things that are going on in Vienna, where deli emcee disrupting around the segregation of hardware and software, giving customers that capability to run the nasty need for the connective ity they need, depending upon where the network is sitting. So this week we got two announcements. One is we've got worldwide shipment of the Delhi M CST Land solutions powered by being more great, you know better than none. Software combined with better than none. Hardware coming from del you see, on a global basis worldwide, you know, secure supply chain plus professional service worldwide is a parameter there, right? >> And Tom, maybe bring us in. You know, we'd watch Fellow Cloud before the acquisition esti weigh on. You know, there's a lot of solutions that fit in a couple of different markets. It's not a homogeneous market there. Maybe give us just kind of the camp point from Avella Clubs. Esty Esty. >> Wind is a white Hart market on because it has the classic combination a better, faster, cheaper. It delivers a better end user experience. It is so easy to deploy this and it saves money, NPLs, circuits and back hauling traffic those that was, ah, 19 nineties idea. It was a good idea back then, but it's time for a different approach. >> And just when I've talked to some customers and talk to them about their multi cloud environment, SD Wind, one of those enabling technologies that you know they will bring up to a mad allowed them to actually do that. >> It was it was the movement really >> office 3 65 and sass applications that drove the best human revolution and that back hauling all this traffic to headquarters and then going out to office for 65 when a user might be in, You know, Des Moines, that doesn't make any sense. And so so with us, the win we intelligently route the traffic where it needs to go delivers a better end user experience, and it saves a bunch of money. It's not hard to imagine that cheap broadband links are on order of magnitude lower than these dedicated mpls circuits. And the interesting math is that you could take two or three low cost links and deliver a better experience than with a single dedicated circuit. >> I'm kind of interested in the balance between hardware and software, right? The family trees of networking and compute kind of were different because if they had specialized needs in silicon, so where are we now? It's 2019. Where are we now? With with line speeds and X 86 then the hardware story. >> I think it'll let Tom join the discussion around speeds and feeds is not dead, but it should be dying to get a quick right. You know, it's around virtual network functions and everything really moving to the software layer. Sitting on top of commoditized X 86 based you know, hardware and the combination of these two factors help our customers a lot more with flexibility, agility, time to deploy, return on investment, all these types of things. But I mean, that's my view is a recurring theme you're gonna hear. Is that in networking? And think you're alluding to this You needed these dedicated kind of magical black boxes that had custom hardware in order to do some pretty basic processing. Whether it be switching, routing, advanced security, you had to run things like, you know, hardware. Regular expression, matching et cetera was about three years ago that Intel introduced a technology called D P D. K, which is an acceleration that allowed VM wear to deliver in software on a single CPU. You know, we could push traffic at line rates, and so so or, you know, faster than one rates. And so that was sort of like there wasn't the champagne didn't go off in the, you know, the bald in drop in Times Square. But it's a really important milestone because all of a sudden it doesn't make any sense to build these dedicated black boxes with custom hardware. Now, general purpose hardware, when you have a global supply chain and logistics partner like Dell, coupled with distributed software, can not only replace these network functions, but we can do things completely differently. And that's really you know, we're just beginning this journey because it's only recently that we've been able to do that. But I think you're gonna see a lot more that in the future. >> So we talked about SD win. Uh, there was a second announcement >> that goes back into the court. You know, the creation of a fabric inside of the data center is still a bit difficult. I mean, I've heard quotes saying It's something like 120 lines of cli, you know, per switch. So let's say 4 to 6 Leafs pitches, switches and two spine switches could take days to set up a fabric. What we've announced is the smart Fabric Director, which is a joint collaboration and development between Veum Wear and Delhi emcee that creates this capability to tightly integrate NSX envy Center into the deli emcee power switch, family of data center switches, really eliminating several cases and in fact, setting up that same fabric in less than two minutes. And we're really happy about not just the initial release. But Tom and I have a lot of plans for this particular product and in the road map for, you know, quarters and years to come about really simplifying again, the network automating it. And then, really, our version of intent based networking is the networking operating the way you configured it, you know, when you set it up and I think not just not just on day one, but two, you know and a N and you know you hit the nail on the head. Networking has changed, is no longer about speeds and feeds. It's about availability and simplicity. And so, you know, Del and GM, where I think are uniquely positions to deliver a level of automation where this stuff just works, right? I don't need to go and configure these magic boxes individually. I want to just right, you know, a line of code where my infrastructure is built into the C I. C. D pipeline. And then when I deploy workload, it just works. I don't need an army of people to go figure that out right, and and I think that's the power of what we're working together to unleash. >> So when something technology comes up like like SD win. Sometimes there's a lot of confusion in the marketplace. Vendors going out one size fits all. This will do everything Course. Where are we in the development of SD win and what is the solution? Who should be looking at taking a look at the solution now? >> SD win market, as I said, is growing depend on whose estimate you look at between 50 and 100% a year. And the reason is better, faster, cheaper. Right? So everyone has figured out, you know, like maybe it's timeto think differently about about architecture and save some money. Eso we just announced it on the PM or side, an important milestone. We have more than 13,000 network virtualization customers that includes our data center as well as yesterday, and we don't report them separately. But 13,000 is, you know, that's almost double where it was a year ago. So significant customer growth we also announced were deployed together with our partner from Del 130,000 branches around the world. So by many metrics, I think of'em, where is the number one vendor in this space to your point it is a crowded, noisy space. Everybody's throwing their hat in the Rangel. >> We do it too. >> But I think the thing that is driving the adoption and the sales of our product is that when you put this thing in, it fundamentally changes the experience for the end user. There's not a lot of networking products that do that. Like I meet customers like this thing is magic. You plug it in and all this and streaming just works, you know, like Google hangouts or Web X is like they just work and they worked seamlessly all the time that there's something there that I think it's still unique to the PM or product, and I think it's gonna continue to drive sales in the future. So I think the other strong differentiation when it comes to Del Technologies bm where in Delhi emcee combined is we have this vision around the cloud. You know, EJ core cloud and you know this hybrid multi cloud approach. And obviously SD Ram plays a critical part as one of the stepping stones as relates toe, you know, creating the environment for this multi cloud environment. So, you know, fantastic market opportunity huge growth. As Tom said, markets probably doubling in size each year. I don't know what the damn numbers are. I hate to quote, but you know, we really feel is, though now having this product in this capability inside a deli emcee, again combining our two assets, it could be the next VX rail. We're really good way. Believe the esteem and it's gonna be a gigantic market. And I think that what's interesting about our partnership is that we can reach different segments of the market in a V M, where we tend to focus on the very high end, large enterprise customers. Technically very sophisticated, delicate, rich customers we don't even know we don't even talk to, And a product is simple enough that it works in all segments. We win the very, very biggest, and we win these. You know, smaller accounts where the simplicity of a one quick deployment really really matters. >> Tom. One of the things that excited me a year ago at this show was the networking vision for a multi cloud world reminded to be of nice syrup. React. You know, when we look at networking today, most remote network admin a lot of the network they need to manage. They don't touch the gear. They don't know where it lives, but they're still responsible. Keep it up and running. And if something goes wrong, it's there. It is the update as to where we stand with that where your >> customers are asking the question, right? So our mantra is infrastructure is code, and so no one should ever have to log in with switch. No one should have to look into a Q. And you know, we should have to be like trying to move packets from here. They're just It's very, very difficult. I'm not really feasible. And so So as networking becomes software and those general purpose processors I talk about are giving us the ability to to think about not just a configuration of the network but the operation of the network in ways that were never before possible. So, for example, we announce that the show today with our monitoring product ve realise network in sight. We call it Bernie, not always such clever with the names that were really good at writing code, Vernon gives us the ability to measure application response time from the data center all the way out to the edge. So a single pane of glass we can show you. Oh, here's where it's broken whether it's in the network, whether it's in the server, whether it's the database, that's that's not responding. And we do this all without agents, right? So it's like when the infrastructure gets smart enough to be able to provide that inside, it changes the way the customer operates on. That translates into real savings and real adoption. And that's what's driving all of this momentum, right? That 7 500 to more than 13,000 customers, something has to be behind that. I think it's It's the simplicity of automation. >> CLI has come up a couple times here, and so that's kind of a dirty word. Maybe even these days, it kind of depends on who you're talking with, I think Veum Way. Rendell both spent a lot of time and effort educating the networking engineering market and also educating the kind of data center you know, the rest of the data center crew about, you know, about each other's worlds. Where again, where are we at now? It sounds like with director on with the innocent. The NSX whole stack? Yes. Uh, the role is changing of a network engineer. But again, where are we in that? In that evolution? >> I think you know, we're early on, but it's moving quite rapidly. I think the traditional network in engineer and networking admin is gonna need to evolve. You know more to this, Dev Ops. How do I bring applications? How do I manage the infrastructure? More like a platform. I mean, Tom and I truly believe that the difference between cute and network infrastructure is really going to start to dissolve over time. And why shouldn't it? I mean, based upon what's happening with the commoditization and speeds of the CPU versus the MP use coming from Mersin silicon, it's really beginning to blur. So I think, you >> know, we're in the early >> stages. I mean, certainly from a deli, see perspective. We still, at times, you know, have those discussions and challenges with traditional networking people. But let's face it, they have a tough job. When something's not working, the network administrator usually gets blamed, And so I think it's a journey, uh, and things such as the del Technology Cloud Open networking, NSX, and now SD when it will continue to drive that. And I think we're going to see a rapid change in networking over the next 12 18 to 24 months. I talked to a number of customers that has said, You know, this journey that Tom was talking about is this is a challenge because the skill set is different. My developers need to learn software, and so what? We're working with the M where is trying t o make that software easier and easier to use it actually approach like English language. So latest versions of NSX have these very simple, declarative AP eyes that you can say, Oh, server A talk to server be but not server see, Click Don Deploy. And now, in our partnership with L, we can take that Paulson push it right down into the metal, right down into the silicon. And so so. Simplification and automation are the name of the game, but it is definitely a fundamental change in the skill set necessary to do Networking. Networking is becoming more like software as opposed to, you know, speeds and feeds and packet sniffers and more the old traditional approaches. >> Tom, I don't want to give you the final word as to Ah, you know what people should be taken away from Dell in and Veum wear in the networking space. Well, >> I think across deli emcee and in being work, there's a great amount of collaboration, whether it's the Del Technology Cloud with of'em were really taking the leadership from from that perspective with this multi hybrid cloud. But in the area of networking, you know, Trudeau. Five years ago, when we announced the desegregation of hardware and software, I am in this to disrupt a networking business and to make networking very different tomorrow and in the future than it has been in the past for our customers around. He's deployment, automation and management, and I think that's a shared vision with Tom and his team and the rest of BM, where >> Tom Gillis, Tom Burns, thank you so much faster. Having eight, we'll be back with more coverage here from VM 2019 for John Troyer on stew. Minutemen as always. Thanks for watching the Cube

>> live from Las Vegas. It's the queue covering del Technologies. World twenty nineteen. Brought to you by Del Technologies and its ecosystem partners. >> Hello and welcome to Del >> Technologies with Cubes Coverage Our tenth year covering DMC World del World Here >> Pat Kelsey who test Not your time yet, but you're going to be coming on later. >> Great key note. Thanks for coming by. >> I appreciate it. Explored back tomorrow. You later. All right. >> Not Kelson. You're kicking off the cube coverage. Three days. The wall, the wall colors. Got two sets. Shotgun of content. We got to cube cannons blowing out the content. I'm John Force to minimum David. Want a key note? Uh, really kind of the tectonic plates in the industry. Kind of coming together you had on stage is something. The Tele CEO of Microsoft, Michael Dell, CEO of Down, founder of Del Technology and Pat Gayle Sr. Legends in the industry Captains of the industry. Really a critical juncture for Del technology worlds and a slew of other announcements. But the Del Cloud unified workspace but showing Microsoft on stage. This is a game changing move for Del technology world sure del del Technologies. But also of'Em. Where. Bm where in bed with eight of us. We know that cover that relationship now, going multi cloud all the way with Azure and seeing the CEO on stage Pretty incredible days. >> I think you nailed it. It's a V m wear story, John, and the numbers tell it. VM wears market value's eighty three billion Del owns eighty percent of it. That's sixty >> six billion. What's left. Dell's market value is forty seven billion. That says, the Del Cores worth negative nineteen billion. If it weren't for VM, where Satya Nadella wouldn't be here and you're seeing Michael Dell really drive the integration? He said that several times on stage today. How much collaboration? I love the collaboration across the divisions. You saw Jeff Clarke with Pack yell Sigur talking about new desktop management, talking about VM wear Cloud on del. It's of'Em were story You're right on >> and pack. Kelsey is to really key message up their simplicity, simplifying I t. The Common operate. I felt like we were in a Cube interview four years ago because that's was the basis of hybrid cloud now kind of coming to fruition. Clear visibility, at least on the tech stack side on the operating side, this is an operator world in a developer world, and simplicity and ease of operations is going to be the critical differentiated for the winners. >> Yeah, so So, John. First of all, I think we're getting some clarity on this multi cloud world. Look, one of the things that Veum where did so? Well, not just that wave, A virtual ization, but V Centre was the centre of I t management. And the question is, can they extend that into multi cloud world? When Veum where made the partnership with a W s. It's like, Oh my gosh, what does that mean to Del We got the answer today. What? That means Adele Veum were cloud on Del AMC hardware for me personally. That relationship between VM Rendell I think it's closer from the top executive all the way on down to the field go to market than it ever was. I was one of the first people working with VM where a DMC I watched that relationship emcee always kept them is kind of the way own you, But you're gonna be independent work across the board across the board. You hear. You know V s right. V X, Ray Allen and XX and P. K s and all these wonderful products Dell and VM work developing together, going to market together. It has ripples, but Amazon likes it. Microsoft like that big deal to see Veum wear and Microsoft partnered together. There are some challenges with some other partners Visa vi, Cisco And you know, some of some of the others, like IBM and HB that, if historically partner a lot with the anywhere but a lot of exciting news and definitely on >> and cha gi ve m were knocked down Google last month. >> So, guys, this is the theme we're seeing. We see Zoom went public. That was a videoconferencing disrupting an existing industry people thought would never be disrupted. You heard something and tell a stay on stage. Say on stage here that the new generation of new APS need new infrastructure. So a re vamp, a reset revitalisation of infrastructure to power APS via cloud. It's kind. The same game computing resource is software APS but with a whole new distributor architecture. A boom is coming. We see the stock market is up huge. You see the tech earnings last week across the board. Solid results. This is now a game change. This is not a bad business to be in. You know what was once could be. A declining business sees more remote workers, people working from multiple locations, mobile unification with cloud computing, a complete renaissance across the board game. I mean, this is a big revenue opportunity. >> Well, Mike Michael Dell's Kino wasn't just about products. It was about innovation. He talked about solving world problems, a big picture stuff on. Then he let Pat and Jeff get down a little bit more into the product. Weeds and you'LL hear more of that. But Michael is laying out a huge vision. What a juxtaposition between that's what, four, five years ago, you had sort of Joe Tucci, the chairman, up on stage. Michael was there. You had. You had John Chambers there. Now Michael owns the whole kit and caboodle. He's calling the shots, and people want to do business with them. Veum, where again, As you pointed >> out to me and Lucia question, you've been following the emcee for a long time. When we interviewed Michael Dell years ago, when he was in private that he bought AMC one of things. He said a lot. People were pooh poohing the whole deal. Why they want to buy that boat anchor. He said, scale matters. So are we seeing a new generations do elected to weigh in on this too, of competitive strategy where scale matters because you look at what Del Technologies has done and is doing there essentially rolled up the global I t business and are competing at scale with synergies not even looked at before early on when we talked about it. But we started see from fruit off that scale Amazon prove scale cloud Uh, Microsoft moves of the clouds scale up now the earnings air up Thoughts >> Well, what strikes me, John, is that, you know, they always talk about end end cos talk about synergy. Synergy is a code word for cutting what you heard today. You had be ave up there, you know, talking about a video and talking about the end end capabilities that Del technology brings Del by acquiring the emcee. And of course, VM. Where is a much way more strategic partner for corporations way more than many of these startups? Khun B. so that is their linchpin. You could maybe criticize him on innovation and, oh, maybe they don't have the hottest product, but and end throw in financial services and other services. People want to do business with this company because they trust >> to scale clouds scale, delle scale, scale. >> So we heard Tom suite this morning. Talk about that, Del. Maybe I missed a couple of turns in the marketplace and they needed to go private to kind of rearrange things When they bought emcee. We knew that there are a couple of tail winds that they could arrive hyper converge infrastructure. Absolutely one. We've been watching that trend since day one that their outpacing the industry there. The leader. If you talk from a software standpoint, VM wears their. If you talk from a hardware standpoint, Dell's there who's number two in the space nutanix, which also is a complicated relationship. But Del sells that in Vienna, where still is the primary hyper visor on that environment, so they're still beating the market growth. But they're doing that by gaining market share on DH taking it. Michael always loves to talk about when he's taking market from the business So the question is the overall macro, you know, how long can they keep that double digit growth going? And Dave, I know you're looking to begin with Tom Sweet. A >> ninety billion dollar business grew fourteen percent last year. So this company, in order to grow it has to gain share because the market is not. You're not going that fast. You can't rely on repatriation. I'm sorry that people are going to just disappear from the cloud and come back. So you've got to gain share the other thing, I think, to their favours. Let's face it, they really did have their act together in storage. They were kind of missing the boat there and took their eye off the ball. PC stayed strong. They got their act together in storage, which helped with the product. Mitch mixed higher margins. So last year was a very, very strong year. Twenty twenties going to be a tougher compare, but it seems like they still have some knobs to turn >> just about competition. But, um, Nutanix, what do they do? VM where relationship with a W s. I'm sure. Andy Jackson looking distant, healing words like chaotic, complex, the bane of our existence. Kind of talking about cloud in general and you deal with multiple clouds were packed. Nelson, you say that, um kind of public cloud losing babe flavor here means to you got the public cloud dominating. Now, all this talk about on premise and you got nutanix out there. What? What happens in Nutanix here? >> Yes. Oh, look, Nutanix astute. Doing well on Dell is a very important O am. But way just on nutanix made a big partnership with Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Which, of course, I'm sure Michael doesn't like that happening. You know, Nutanix needs to keep growing their rice software company. It's interesting to talk about the other competitors I mentioned Cisco. Cisco is transforming themselves into a software company. Del Del Technology is the core business wants to be the leading infrastructure company they have VM wear. Bumi and Pivotal are their software branch with the core. Business is really around that scale that that that whole you know, infrastructure piece and it's a different chuck it the Mark >> Chuck Robbins that Cisco CEO Cisco's not yet made a big, bold move like a red at move. Well, could nutanix be that move game? >> Well, I don't know. I don't know. I think I play is an I o T. But But But to your point about your question about the cloud Cloud is not attenuating Amazons, with thirty billion dollar company growing forty one percent a year throwing off twenty five thirty percent operating margins. I mean, that's where the innovation is. That's where the scale is. Everybody wants to do multi cloud because they don't have a cloud. It's your only path if you don't have a cloud. So So I think Cloud's got a long walk >> look and they talk to you know, I tell you, you know, my community got all excited when Michael got up on stage and said, We're all in on Corin eh? Teas and what we're doing with multi cloud you're going to hear under the covers here. Everything is going from VM wear V M as that unit down to container ization, you know, talking about at that application modernization. That's where they're going to lean on VM wear modernizing some what they're doing. And you know, of course, pivotal in Bhumi are the ones that are the tip of the spear in that area. >> I don't think David, it's a suit point there. The Amazon growth will continue because if you look at what Del Technologies has rolled out today, certainly that Microsoft thing is well shot across the bow. Multi cloud, Nice checkbox. Great to see the committee of the CEO there. But everything benefits with sass in the clouds. SAS is a cloud game And if scale on the clouds gonna be there, I only see the public cloud getting stronger because the scales they're the economics cannot be ignored. Certainly the data equation will be interesting, but anon a premise infrastructure that's set up operating like a cloud. I think we'LL ultimately benefit because Amazons weak link, if there is one, is that they really don't have a sass business, right? So they have a series of customers that deuce ***. But that's going to be an opportunity for all those workloads to run on the clouds. And the question is >> going to be >> how how >> cloud like is what we here today. And I I'm a skeptic. I want to see it first, you know, Show me. >> Yeah. No, I mean, what do we hear? What are you know Veum works, you know, services on Azure. It's the STD sea stack. So we understand what that is. It is more than just virtualization. But we used to say Private Cloud just can't be virtual ization plus plus. So Veum wears, you know, expanding and changing that model. But, you know, is it cloud enough? I mean the David, you know? Oh, you want to finance it with an effects we could totally have That affects affects the two. It's great. But, you know, >> at the end of the day, innovation and economics winds and the cloud guys have the scale. I mean, look at the amount of money we heard from Google last month. They spent what, twelve billion dollars in Cap Ex through April. It would take Oracle six years to spend that much in Cap Exit would take IBM three and a half four years to spend that much in CAF X. They're cost structure is going to be so much lower. And ultimately, I believe that's going to win. >> Talk about the winners and losers because we heard at the Bank of America you mentioned also what you just said. They're the future has redefined not how you got here, how you move forward. What's the competitive positioning posture for a winning supplier in the modern era of Iranian Cloud? >> I think it's really smart that Adele is forcing these integrations and getting out ahead of this multi cloud thing, I guess said before. If you don't have a public cloud, you've gotto get into that multi cloud management business. VM wears their their their obvious linchpin. They're early in the game. This is Guest is going to play over the next five to seven years. But VM wear has knocked down eight of us. Google, now Azure. They've got a relationship with Alibaba. It's just a matter of time before you see that one happening. So they are in the pole position. The other one is IBM Red Hat. I mean, those are the two favorites in my >> and by the way, red hats here. And if you want to run, you know the latest greatest red hat solution on the Del Ready notes. You know, of course you can do that. So you know, we'd love to talk about competition, but at the end of the day, it's what's good for customers and can they pick and choose the option of their choice. How much do I get? A full stack. That's the same. And how much is their choice? And I didn't hear the word choice. Ah, lot because, you know, they were focusing on certain announcement day. But absolutely, Adele has done a good job in the space in the cloud space of laying out the top choices that customers want. >> The choice wasn't used because the choices del they'LL ship you VX rails. I'm not sure they'll be shipping other things in there. Maybe they will, too. Thanks for the analysis. Degraded. Al says, man, It's gonna be a great show.
