I would say find a problem that you care about and find a mentor I would say sign up for Technovation because that really has all the elements and the support systems that you need focus is on kids with autism and we got to meet these meet individuals as part of our special education community and that's kind of when we saw our impact and it kind of clicked for us that this is actually making a difference and that's that's Anna it was an unbelievable experience [Music] in the future we want to make it available in many devices and you want to spread it to all be able to help them I want to say that Technovation gave us wings as I mentioned one year to fly in a world of endless opportunities and I would say that if you have that will do something good for the society technology look our best option you can go for an you can implement inspired me by showing me how it's very possible to make your own business and create your own and fight for what you want for what you believe in [Music]

like railroads and shipping in the 1800s and oil in the 1900s data really is the wealth creator of this century and so that creates a very nerve-wracking environment it also creates an environment a very agile and very important technological breakthroughs that enable those things to be turned into we believe everything is data-driven and in fact we would argue that data is more valuable than oil or diamonds or plutonium or platinum or silver or anything else it is the most valuable asset whether it be a global fortune 500 whether you be a midsize come here whether it be her songs firing drill we're in the business of doing helping customers do better with the data they have without I'm do not spend more whether it's on frame or on the cloud that sort of we want to help customers be comfortable getting more data under management now along with security and governance and the lower third TCO is flying it from Atlanta Georgia to London and you want to be able to make sure you really understand how well is that each component performing so that that point is going to need service when it gets there it doesn't miss the turn around and leave 300 passengers stranded or delayed right now with with our with our connect levers we have the ability to take every piece of data from every component that's generated and see that in real time and left with the airline's make [Music]

by moving the healthcare system to the cloud and leveraging artificial intelligence and helping things like oncology departments identify cancer that treat cancer better using technology I think is the next frontier for us I love your description of this as a celebration because really that's one of the things that we do is we celebrate customer success and so when you look at AWS around the world we've got customers that are delivering solutions for citizens to new solutions for healthcare great solutions to education all around the world there's a lot of requests for machine learning out of the tactical edge so we have our you know soldiers forward deployed how they take their imagery and analyze that and not have to wait 24 hours for someone to come back from the main data center and that's I mean that's real life saving game

want people to find their passion and purpose in life and achieve that because if you do what you love you know a lot of us do what we love some of us don't but if you do what you love you can be way more productive and happier right and then the end of day isn't that our goal okay bitchy it's okay to be cranky it's okay for anchor anger to fuel you it's okay to be aggressive and even if your male counterparts tell you otherwise or say wow that's unseemly I think it's just okay we don't have to be pure and perfect in order to be successful a plenty of mine she's the founder of Austen women magazine and she has this catchphrase that's fabulous because the female role models if you can't see it you can't be right so if I'm a 24 year old young lady just graduating I don't see anyone else who looks like I think it is really important that you know there's all those cliches around the fact that you know you've got to go through the windows sometimes or you know opportunities are masked and they really are and so just saying yes to everything and really being open to trying new things and learning new experiences will give you opportunity didn't even realize and now I've been in it long enough where someone I met a couple years ago who was just at a conference kind of dabbling took a course from girls in tech and is now in the career field and they're kind of introducing girls detecting other so it's amazing is what it it's no longer grassroots this is actually making

I literally retitled my PowerPoint presentation which was previously called smart packaging to find a way to get the word internet in and the way I do that was I wrote Internet of Things and I got my money and I founded a research center with Procter & Gamble's money and MIT just up the road here and basically took the PowerPoint presentation with me all over the world commits other people to get on board big people buying a lot of media and there's a lot of discussion in politics about whether or not you know billionaires buying media are problems and what that's gonna mean in terms of the message that's gonna be reported to people that's gonna always be an issue but I think even with that that's why it's even more empowering that the individuals are taking more control over their own narratives biggest sort of takeaway is to see and actually joy is to see companies from different walks of life working together you have robotics companies you have AI companies you have industrial companies all of them are coming up with solutions together and that's basically what we want to see is breaking the barriers and multiple companies working together to moving you [Music]

our mission is to help every company in the world find its relevance and really every person in the world certainly every person in our industry find their relevance people are searching for how to become relevant in this very hyper connected changing time first today one at all right they need to maintain investments extend investments that they have in traditional systems but they want to take advantage of these new really cool technologies like micro services like sort of data hub you know data aggregation and they don't want somebody knocking on their door and saying hey I'll sell you anything as long as you want to buy this I think the key thing is everyone's got to realize that whether you're in a private cloud hybrid cloud or public cloud configuration storage is that rock solid foundation you don't have a good foundation the building will fall right over and it's great you've got cloud with its flexibility its ability to transform the ability to modernize move data around but if what's underneath doesn't work the whole thing topples over and storage is equivalent you [Music]

my leg issues a plane through so many games in our media because we are a very defeatist mentality if you think about it we started as an industry as this coin off industry where we had to kill you off because we needed you to put another motor in the machine and but now we carry that trope with us even though we have people put 60 quarter $60 worth of quarters in the machine in advance right right we're still killing you off in the same way and so it's kind of crazy to me and so we really as an industry I do think need to think about that more face because you know when you consume content it's usually through news feed right worth one of your friends shares that content so we've seen a lot of creators come on board and have really heard our early 66 success with that in terms of like sharing content we're asking they're you know they're fans when they're on the stream like hey you know I'm live right now share this content with your friends right then they get instant exposure right which helps them grow what extensions are its developers they're created by outside developers and what they are is they add interactive functionality to broadcasters channel pages whether it's a widget underneath the screen or it's an overlay that goes on top of it and with these overlays you can just creating a more interactive experience for the viewers and that's where we see the future of gaming going which is that it's not a it's not a sit back experience it's the lean forward [Music]

first thing Trust is very human right you've gotta know they're walking into the situation as as a vendor and its customer but really as partners are you trying to solve a problem together because the reality is this transformation that companies are going through is first time in 40 years that this kind of transformations happen technology they start maybe in a small project or a small team but very quickly they see the potential impact of the solution and very quickly it's almost infectious inside the organization more and more teams want to jump on understand how they can use it to help with their applications their business to get impact in their operations and it just spreads spreads like wildfire you can never really call yourself a role model right it's that people I wanna I love showing people that there's a there's there's paths and detect that didn't start off with a computer science degree but there's tons of ways to participate and be part of the tech community because it's a great it's a great you

Phil McDermott always say data's now the currency well today he was saying now Trust is the currency which is completely truth - but from the data being the country currency perspective it's now the endgame for both of us we've kind of pulled in all companies have gone into the middle that that's kind of not only the Mint messaging but kind of central thing we're trying to develop to deliver a value on speaking with a customer early it's like you have an accountability to help me be innovative right and that's a very important responsibility a lot of that revolves around enterprise class security right a lot of that revolves around uptime right with Layton sees between those environments cuts my performance attribute and are you gonna be there with me forever right amazing thing that's going on it thinking about using drones for first responders they actually can know what's going on in the scene and when the other people are showing up they know what kind of area they're going into or for search and rescue drones can cover a lot of territory and detect a human faster than a human can right and if you can actually find someone within the first 24 hours chance of survival so much higher invest more heavily in the cloud in the second thing they want to do is enable digital transformation real digital transformation how did they monetize the wealth of the data that they've acquired through their relationships with their customers and then how do they leverage that for their customer benefit [Music]

kind of amazing inspire when I step back and look at what our customers are doing with our technology and you know we have hundreds of technical sessions here where we get in-depth you know as we've always done that historically you know he MC worlds but we're also taking a broader view and saying hey you know what's what's this really all about what's the impact on the world that the most creative of people from Leonardo da Vinci to Einstein Ben Franklin but Steve Jobs and Ada Lovelace whoever they may be all love of the humanities and the science they stand at that intersection of sort of liberal arts technology and that's so important in today's this country is a very special country to immigrants if you work hard and if you're willing to apply yourself and I'm a product of that hard work and now as an Indian American now living in California so I feel very fortunate for all that both the country and people who invested in me over the last many decades have helped me see the human progress is indeed possible through technology and this is the best showcase possible and when you can enable human progress which cuts across boundaries of nationality any other kind I think we are the winning streak service dog training program is built to have dogs help veterans in assimilation and help them with daily activities and post-traumatic stress all sorts of different things and they're different those are therapy dogs so those are dogs that will go everywhere with someone and really take care of them it's a beautiful beautiful donation and experience for the veterans to be able to have that [Music]

really is a unique piece of the VMware culture where the tech guys get together and they just geek out for a couple of days and you know to be to be awarded best the radio it's like oh man you're a god right I think culture is something that happens over time it is preserved over time and it's preserved through people it's not like anything you can write down right of course you can write it down but it won't be worth the paper it's written down unless it's practiced every day by the people about the future is about not only the applications and the the problems that technology can help solve but it's also about the nature of energy and the energy the grid makes the energy in the room is just phenomenal if people are they're really passionate about talking about their work and this people are they're wondering and you meet new people in fact for me in my role what I enjoy the most is of course getting to hear what you guys are doing but also helping them make connections [Music]

it comes to building a brand in a powerhouse brand enterprises really rely on customers to do that to really leverage the voice of customers to get the word out and to have customers go on record to talk about the power and the value of being because when customers go on record to talk about it there really is no better marketing than you everything is connected now and that data that's the value those are the data that the customer has is their crown jewels what beam is done really well is yeah they started off as a small virtualization player but as they've seen the market grow and evolved they've made adaptation to really be able to expand and stay with their customers as their needs have more been changed again in terms of the product design or we think customer pros make it easy for the customer and really seek to your core customer that that customer that is using your product every day so make it easy powerful and affordable that that was our four core principles in designing the product and the whole business model decided to be here the most exciting thing to me is is the recognition the conversations with customers with this journey towards intelligent data management as you as you said most customers are in stage 1 stage 2 but for us this is a partnership this is not just giving software this is talking to customers talking to partners making them success you [Music]

the problem people are trying to achieve is how to become a digital enterprise not just to automate but how do you create a digital enterprise you cannot become a digital enterprise unless your operations are digital you cannot make your operations digital unless your processes are digital and you cannot do that and let us say workforce is digital process automation helps get rid of the mundane and repetitive tasks but the ultimate goal is so that you can enable the humans to do more to enable a lot more creativity you're outside the box thinking we'll come up with new service models come up with new ways to solve things and this is only possible if you get rid of the repetitive mundane tasks which often block bounce down humans [Music] many more jobs we technically enable then will be eliminated by by technology there's gonna be some that are that are that are impacted more dramatically than others but I would I would actually say for most people the ability to have technology to help them do the day-to-day job is gonna have a much higher technology get adopted when you have to go and invest in it it takes passion you got to get people who believe people are committed people who want to go to do something come around like they have for all other things when computers came people had the same concern and Internet and ever I write I think in many ways this will help us help us improve our standard of living and take us to her [Music]

or is done a great job of simplifying the experience for the customer no question much in the same way that 3-part did 10 or 15 years ago they've clearly set the bar on simplicity so check the other piece that they've done really well is marketing and marketing is how companies differentiate today there's no question about things better today dramatically let's have a plan they get you in the future but also create a community an ecosystem where are aware of what's happening in the DevOps side and connect the dots between IT and the data science you know storage was really I think up until now really viewed as maybe you know an aging technology something that was you know becoming commoditized something where where innovation wasn't really important and fewer was the one company that actually thought that storage was important realized a partnership with your with all flash and the faster network and Tasha compute we realized there is something unique that we can bring to bear for the customer so our partnership mindset really said this is the next big one that we're going to invest time and energy and so we clearly did that and then we continued you know helping physicians when they're working directly with patients there's only these are there's so many systems so many datasets so many ways to analyze and yet like getting it all in front of them in some kind of real-time way so that they can use it effectively as tricky so AI machine learning have a chance to help us like funnel that into something that's immediately useful in the moment

a theme that I heard here that definitely resonated is we have complexity we need to deal with interoperability everybody has a lot of things and that's the future work hybrid multi cloud world that you have and that's really the state of open source it's not a thing if there's lots of things you take the pieces you need because you know when we think about what we are as a community I talked about how we're a community of people who build and operate open infrastructure and it's really about solving problems and if you want to if you're as open community collaboration you want to solve problems you can't be afraid to stand up and say we have problems and sometimes maybe that build off just about connecting branch office together it's not about just connecting application in the data center it's actually connecting the users in the branch office with the applications in the data center or in the public cloud and since of a stack is a big application with a lot of moving parts kubernetes actually becomes a very powerful - or any other container orchestration scheme becomes a very powerful tool for saying that you drop OpenStack on top of that and then all of a sudden you have a public cloud that's available for you know for the users within your organization or you could invent a public cloud and providing these services for other people and then suddenly that becomes a great platform for hosting kubernetes applications technology goes on the edge we still need to account for as they're excited by the economics of that edge pay a big big part of their of that game right so there is scale it's it's in the thousands of the forms of presence and the hundreds of thousands of positive presence or four different buildings where you can put a like an edge clamp right also the use case are still being defined but its scale on a different organ book

informatica was on that knife's edge they had a good product set in the sense that they foresaw that data was going to become more important and they are a good data company they've got a great suite of data management tool that's very relevant today's marketplace in many respects the question was were they going to step up and be one of the companies that successfully transition to the cloud and the services model or where they don't try to fight against it with products that and they have been making that transition and it seems to go be going quite well as data gets into the cloud and as people are using all of these different types of new data processing techniques to your point about the catalog if you don't have a fundamentally if you don't have a catalog that tells you where your data is who is using it what it is for etc you just lose control you just cannot keep an Olaf your data and so what people are realizing is as they do new business initiatives they gotta have the data catalog in a place where technology is changing unbelievably fast we're graduating you know nearly as many went men as women in you know fields of science data analytics Computer Engineering etc but we're not seeing a combination of women in leadership roles as much as we would expect we're not seeing the retention of women in those roles disruption with a purpose is intelligent and we believe with our technology that our customers can then unleash the power of their data to create what we call their next intelligent disruption so we were very thoughtful about the choice of words there because disruption can be considered a negative but we see it is very much a positive and a way for customers to leapfrog the competition and set set the tone for their markets

you know and I always say that there's something I call the sweet spot it's where your passion meets your talent and if you're in a place like that you're in a very special place because that means it's a strength of yours but you also love and if you do that it doesn't matter who else is around you and so to me one of the most important things that we need to be doing is bridging the gap between academic scholarship which tells us a lot about the barriers women's leadership with the kind of activities that organizations are doing the diversity of issues they're putting in place if we can join forces then I think we could better accelerate a based work is sort of at the heart and soul of who we are right and so this is just more of that it's gonna be great to take progressive research groundbreaking research and put it into practice founder of Grace Hopper I asked her about impostor syndrome and this is what she told me she said I feel like I'm not good enough and that actually gave me goose bumps I remember I was sitting in front of greatness and this is what she was telling me and then I asked her how do you overcome it and she said I just show up the next day [Music]

if you are interested in what watching technology is you should really study biklen because that's really the first place I came and I would argue the only place that it actually is decentralized everything else has some single point of failure a different world that's not audience and people unique networks not key to success and networks a powerful what I think of blockchains I don't think I'd watch is I think of networks I think a digital block chain what's the answer defense because you know always Roxanne is not always the answer I think that some people are within too much blocks and a project we are not really needing watching so I think it really depends on a use case or [Music]
