>> Hi, I'm Peter Buris of Wikibon, and this week, we're going to be running a very special teleconference on true private cloud. The Technology Foundation for Enterprise Cloud Strategies. We're going to conduct the teleconference on Thursday, the 12th of October, at 2 p.m. Eastern Daylight, and 11 a.m. Pacific Daylight. What we're going to do is reveal some new research that we've been doing that supports this whole notion that increasingly, the marketplace is going to adopt what we call true private cloud technologies. These are technologies that are intended to provide the cloud experience wherever the data demands, including on presence, including at the edge, and will be easily integratable with the public cloud. Now, when we talk about new research, we're not just talking about the numbers that we've been put forward over the last couple of years. We're actually talking about new and interesting things. So, for example, one of the key things we're going to look at is what's going on in the world of backup and restore. How are we going to handle this need to manage large amounts of data. Dave Vellante, tell us a little about that. >> Dave: Yeah, so one of the things most I'm excited about, Peter, is working with our community, trying to help them understand how this cloud model is evolving, in SAS, obviously driven by applications, public infrastructure is a service in what we call true private cloud, bringing the cloud model to your data on prem, and one of the areas we're looking at is new data protection models. How do you protect data across multiclouds? Are there ways to get more leverage out of that data beyond just insurance and backup? Are there ways to help with governance and data analytics and other dealings with security threats? We see data protection as one of these key binding technologies that are going to bring together cross cloud disciplines. >> When we think about cross cloud disciplines, you always end up thinking about what are developers going to do, and Stu, we've been pretty hard at work at thinking about the impact of hybrid cloud, and some of the new models of development as we go to a more distributed, more multi-ownership orientation of some of these assets. Any quick observations on what we're going to see next week? >> Stu: Yeah, absolutely, Peter. The whole premise that we've talked about with true private cloud is people love the operating model of the public cloud, and nobody more than developers. The developers have been sitting up, building shipping code in the public cloud, so how can I get that same experience really wherever I'm going to live? So whether that be my data center, the public cloud, or even going to edge configurations now, all the kind of latest and greatest stuff like containers and Kubernetes and serverless is not going to all live in one place, so how does this span this hybrid multicloud world? It's super important to focus always on that application and that developer experience because without that, you're going to fail with really moving to this modern type of architecture. >> Now, as we think about the need for data protection, we think about the need for application development creating value out of this that has significant impacts ultimately on IT operations management. We're also going to be spending some time talking about how new technologies are being bought into the whole IT operations management sphere, machine learning, deep learning, cognitive, et cetera, to dramatically improve the productivity of managing all of these new more complex applications and distributive resources. So, that's going to be a crucial feature of what we'll be talking about at the teleconference, but David Floyer, we're also going to be talking about the impact of this trend on future systems design. We call it unigrid. What are we going to tell people? >> Well, one of the most exciting things is the new technologies that are coming in to the architecture, fundamental architecture of systems. Essentially, storage and networking are combining together to allow an any to any connection between lots and lots of nodes, not just the 16 or 32, up to thousands of nodes, to be able to access that data from any node, and do it at very, very low latencies, indeed. And the exciting thing that this is about is that this is the holy grail of what systems have been trying to do for many, many years. What the want to do is combine systems of record, which are database-heavy type applications, with systems of intelligence, AI systems, other systems of that sort, which can come in and add additional value. What is happening in this architecture is that you can get hundreds or thousands of times more data per unit of work, per transaction or whatever, and this is really, really exciting because we can, for the first time, do real time analytics at the same time, and into the same systems of the current systems, of systems of record. >> As we're writing transactions. >> David: As we're writing transactions. >> So this is unigrid. We think it's going to be a major feature of the industry, and have an enormous impact ultimately on how we think about designing this next wave of applications. All right. So, on Thursday, October 12th, special Wikibon teleconference. The Technology Foundation for Enterprise Hybrid Cloud Strategies. Two o'clock Eastern. 11 o'clock Pacific. The key Wikibon team coming together to talk about from the business objectives through software, data protection, systems management, and all the way out to future systems designs. Please join us. We hope to see you there.
