>> 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 to San Francisco. Day three of our coverage here on the Cube Of'em world 2019. I'm John Wall's Glad to have you here aboard for our continuing coverage here Day Volonte is also joining me, as is the sartorially resplendent Eric Herzog, cm of and vice president. Global storage channels that IBM storage. Eric, good to see you and love the shirt. Very >> nice. Thank you. Well, always have a wine shirts when I'm on the Cube >> I love in a long time Cuba to we might say, I'm sure he's got the record. Yeah, might pay. Well, >> you and pattern, neck and neck. We'll go to >> the vault. And well, >> since Pat used to be my boss, you know, couch out a path. >> Well, okay. Let the little show what IBM think. Maybe. Well, that's OK. Let's just start off a big picture. We're in all this, you know. Hybrid. Multilingual. This discussion went on this week. Obviously, just your thoughts about general trends and where the business is going now supposed to wear? Maybe we're 23 years ago. Well, the >> good thing is for IBM storage, and we actually came to your partner and titty wiki Bond when our new general manager, Ed Walsh, joined. And we came and we saw Dave and John at the old office are at your offices, and we did a pitch about hybrid multi cloud. Remember that gave us some feedback of how to create a new slide. So we created a slide based on Dave's input, and we were doing that two and 1/2 years ago. So we're running around telling the storage analyst Storage Press about hybrid multi cloud based on IBM storage. How weaken transparently move data, things we do with backup, Of course. An archive. You've got about 450 small and medium cloud providers. Their backup is a service engine. Is our spectrum protect? And so we talked about that. So Dave helped us craft the slide to make it better, because he said, we left a couple things >> out that Eric >> owes you. There were a few other analysts I'm sure you talked to and got input, but but us really were the first toe to combine those things in your in your marketing presentations. But >> let's I'd love to get >> an update on the business. Yes, help people understand the IBM storage organization. You guys created the storage business, you know, years and years and years ago. It's a it's a you know you've got your core business, which is column arms dealers. But there's a lot of Regent IBM, the Cloud Division. You've got the service's division, but so help us understand this sort of organizational structure. So >> the IBM story division's part of IBM Systems, which includes both the mainframe products Z and the Power Server entities. So it's a server in storage division. Um, the Easy guys in particular, have a lots of software that they sell and not just mainframe. So they have a very, very large software business, as do we. As you know, from looking at people that do the numbers, We're the second largest storage software company in the world, and the bulk of that software's not running on IBM gear. So, for example, spectrum protect will back up anyone's array spectrum scale and our IBM Cloud Object storage are sold this software only software defined as the spectrum virtualized. You could basically create a J. Bader Jabo after your favorite distributor or reseller and create your honor. Rates are software, but the all of the infrastructure would actually not be ours, not branded by us. And you call us for tech support for the software side. But if you had a bad power supplier fan, you'd have to call, you know, the reseller distributor said this very robust storage software business. Obviously you make sure that was compatible with the other server elements of IBM systems. But the bulk of our storage is actually sitting connect to some server that doesn't have an IBM logo on it. So that's the bulk of our business connected to Intel servers of all types that used to include, of course, IBM Intel Server division, which was sold off to Lenovo. So we still have a very robust business in the array space that has nothing to do with working on a power machine are working on a Z machine, although we clearly worked very heavily with them and have a number of things going with him, including something that's coming very shortly in the middle of September on some new high end products that we're going to dio >> went 90 Sea Counts All this stuff. Do they >> count to give IBM credit for all the storage that lives inside of the IBM Cloud? Do you get you get credit for that or >> not get credit for that? So when they count our number, it's only the systems that we sell and the storage software that we sell. So if you look at if we were a standalone company, which would include support service made everything, some of which we don't get credit for, right, the support and service is a different entity at IBM that does that, UM, the service's group, the tech support that all goes to someone else. We don't have a new credit >> so hypothetical I don't I don't think this is the case, but let's say hypothetically, if pure storage sold an array into IBM Cloud, they would get credit for it. But if you're array and I'm sure this happens is inside of the IBM, you don't get credit for it. >> That's true interesting, so it's somewhat undercounts. Part of that is the >> way we internally count because we're selling it to ourselves. >> But that's it. >> It's not. It's more of an accounting thing, but it's different when we sell the anybody else. So, for example, we sell the hundreds of cloud providers who in theory compete with the IBM Cloud Division >> to you Get credit for that. You get credit for your own away. That's way work. But if we were standing >> on coming for, say, government, we were Zog in store and I bought the company away, we would be about a $6.3 billion standalone storage software company. That's what we would be if we were all in because support service manes. If we were our own company with our own right legal entity, just like net app or the other guys, we'd be Stanley would be in that, you know, low $6 billion range, counting everything all in. When we do report publicly, we only report our storage system because we don't report our storage software business. And as you notice a few times, our CFO has made comments. If we did count, the storage software visit would be ex, and he's publicly stated that price at least two times. Since I've been an idea when he talks about the software on, but legally we only talk about IBM storage systems. When he publicly state our numbers out onto Wall Street, that's all >> we publicly report. So, um, you're like, you're like a walking sheet of knowledge here, but I wonder if you could take the audience through the portfolio. Oh, it's vast. How should we think about it? And the names have changed. You talk about, you know, 250 a raise, whatever it is the old sand volume control. And now it's a spectrum virtualized, >> right? So take us to the portfolio. What's the current? It's free straight for. >> We have really three elements in the portfolio, all built around, if you will, solution plays. But the three real elements in the portfolio our storage arrays, storage systems, we have entry mid range and high end, just like our competitors do. We lead with all flash, but we still sell hybrid and obviously, for backup, an archive. We still sell all hard drive right for those workloads. So and we have filed blocking object just like most other guys do, Um, for an array, then we have a business built around software, and we have two key elements. Their software defined storage, and we saw that software completely stand alone. It happens, too, by the way, be embedded on the arrays. So, for example, Dave, you mentioned Spectrum virtualized that ship's on flash systems and store wise. But if you don't want our raise, we will sell you just spectrum virtualized alone for block spectrum scale for Big Big Data A. I file Workloads and IBM caught object storage, which could all of them could be bought on an array. But they also could be bought. Itjust Standalone component. Yes, there's a software so part of the advantage we feel that delivers. It's some of the people that have software defined storage, that air raid guys. It's not the same software, so for us, it's easier for us to support and service. It's easier for a stack developing have leading it. Features is not running two different pieces of software running, one that happens to have a software on Lee version or an array embedded version. So we've got that, and then the third is around modern data protection, and that's really it. So a modern data protection portfolio built around spectrum, protect and Protect Plus and some other elements. A software to find storage where we sell the software only, and then arrays. That's it. It's really three things and not show. Now they're all kinds components underneath the hood. But what we really do is we sell. We don't really run around and talk about off last race. We talk about hybrid multi cloud. Now all of our flash raise and a lot of our software defined storage will automatically tear data out, too. Hybrid multi cloud configurations. We just So we lead with that same thing. We have one around cyber resiliency. Now, the one thing that spans the whole portfolio of cyber resiliency way have cyber rebellion see and a raise. We have some softer on the mainframe called Safeguarded Copy that creates immutable copies and has extra extra security for the management rights. You've got management control, and if you have a malware ransomware attack, you couldn't recover to these known good copies. So that's a piece of software that we sell on the mainframe on >> how much growth have you seen in that in? Because he's never reveals if you've got it resonating pervasive, right, Pervasive. So >> we've got, for example, malware and ransomware detection. Also, Inspector protect. So it's taken example. So I'm going to steal from the Cube and I'm gonna ask Dave and for you, I want a billion dollars and Dave's gonna laugh at me because he used a spectrum protect. He's gonna start laughing. But if I'm the ransomware guy, what do I do? I go after your snapshots, your replicas and your backup data sets. First, I make sure I've got those under control. And then when I tell you I'm holding you for ransom, you can't go back to a known good copy. So Ransomware goes after backup snaps and replicas first. Then it goes half your primary storage. So what we do, inspector protect, for example, is we know that at Weeki Bond and the Cube, you back up every night from 11 32 1 30 takes two hours to back you up every night. It's noon. There's tons of activity in the backup data sets. What the heck is going on? We send it out to the admin, So the admin for the Cube wicky bond takes a look and says, No server failure. So you can't be doing a lot of recovery because of a bad server. No storage failures. What the heck is going on? It could be a possible mount where ransomware attack. So that type of technology, we encrypt it, rest on all of our store to raise. We have both tape and tape and cloud air gapping. I'm gonna ask you about that. We've got both types of air gapped >> used to hate tape. Now he loves my love, right? No, I used to hate it, But now I love it because it's like the last resort, just in case. And you do air gapping when you do a WR gapping with customers, Do you kind of rotate the You know, it's like, uh, you know, the Yasser Arafat used to move every night. You sleep in a different place, right? You gonna rotate the >> weird analogy? You do >> some stuff. There's a whole strategy >> of how we outlined how you would do a tape air gap, you a cloud air gap. Of course you're replicating or snapping out to the cloud anyway, so they can't get to that. So if you have a failure, we haven't known good copy, depending on what time that is, right. And then you just recover. Cover back to that and even something simple. We have data rest, encryption. Okay. A lot of people don't use it or won't use it on storage because it's often software based, and so is permanent. Well, in our D s platform on the mainframe, we can encrypt with no performance hit on our flash system products we can encrypt with no performance it on our high end store. Wise, we have four models on the two high end stores models we could encrypt with no performance penalty. So why would you not encrypt all your debt? When there's a performance penalty, you have to sort of pick and choose. My God, I got to encrypt this valuable financial data, but, boy, I really wish it wasn't so slow with us. There is no performance it when you encrypt. So we have encryption at rest, encryption at flight malware and ran somewhere detection. We've got worm, which is important, obviously, doesn't mean I can't steal from wicked Bond Cube, but I certainly can't go change all your account numbers for all your vendors. For sake. of argument, right? So and there's obviously heavily regulated industries that still require worm technology, right? Immutable on the fine, by the way, you could always if it's wormed, you could encrypt it if you want to write. Because Worm just means it's immutable. It doesn't. It's not a different data type. It's just a mutable version of that data. >> So the cyber resiliency is interesting, and it leads me to another question I have around just are, indeed so A lot of companies in this industry do a lot of D developing next generation products. I think, you know, look a t m c when you were there, you know, this >> was a lot of there. Wasn't a ton, >> of course, are a lot of patents and stuff like that. IBM does corps are a lot of research and research facilities, brainiac scientists, I want if you could talk about how the storage division takes advantage of that, either specifically, is it relates to cyber resiliency. But generally, >> yes, so as you know, IBM has got, I think it's like 12 12 or 15 research on Lee sites that that's all they do, and everyone there is, in fact, my office had to be. Akiyama didn't labs, and there's two labs actually hear. The AMA didn't research lab and the Silicon Valley lab, which is very close about five miles away. Beautiful. Almost everything. There is research. There's a few product management guys I happen, Navid desk there every once. Well, see a sales guy or two. But essentially, they're all Richard with PhDs from the leading inverse now at Al Madden and many sites, all the divisions have their own research teams there. There's a heavy storage contingent at Al Midan as an example. Same thing in Zurich. So, for example, we just announced last week, as you know, stuff that will work with Quantum on the tape side. So you don't have to worry about because one of things, obviously, that people complain about quantum computing, whether it's us or anyone else, the quantum computing you can crack basically any encryption. Well, guess what? IBM research has developed tape that can be encrypted. So if using quantum computer, whether it be IBM or someone else's when you go with quantum computing, you can have secured data because the quantum computer can't actually cracked the encryption that we just put into that new tape that was done at IBM Research. How >> far away are we from From Quantum, actually being ableto be deployed and even minor use cases. >> Well, we've got available right now in ibm dot com for Betas. So we've got several 1000 people who have been accidents in it. And entities, we've been talking publicly in the 3 to 7 year timeframe for quantum computer crap out. Should it? Well, no, because if you do the right sort of security, you don't but the power. So if you're envisioning one of my favorite movies, I robot, right where she's doing her talking and that's that would really be quantum in all honesty. But at the same time, you know, the key thing IBM is all about ethics and all about how we do things, whether it be what we do with our diversity programs and hiring. And IBM is always, you know, at the forefront of doing and promoting ethical this and ethical. Then >> you do a customer data is huge. >> Yeah, and what we do with the customer data sets right, we do. GDP are, for example, all over the world were not required by law to do it really Only in Europe we do it everywhere. And so if you're not, if you're in California, if you happen to be in Zimbabwe or you're in Brazil, you get the same protection of GDP are even though we're not legally required to do it. And why are we doing that? Because they're always concerned about customers data, and we know they're paranoid about it. We want to make sure people feel comfortable with IBM. We do. Quantum computing will end up in that same vein. >> But you know, I don't worry about you guys. I were about the guys on the other side of the fence, the ones that I worry about, the same thing Capabilities knew that was >> on, of course. And you know, he talked about it in his speech, and he talked about action on the Cube yesterday about some of his comments on the point, and he mentioned that was based on Blockchain. What he said was Blockchain is a great technology. They've got Blockchain is no. IBM is a big believer in Blockchain. We promoted all over the place and in fact we've done all kinds of different Blockchain things we just did. One announced it last week with Australia with the Australian. I think it is with their equivalent of Wall Street. We've done some stuff with Merrick, the big shipping container thing, and it's a big consortium. That's all legal stuff that was really talking about someone using it the wrong way. And he's very specific point out that Blockchain is a great technology if used ethically, and IBM is all about how we do it. So we make sure whether be quantum computing, Blockchain, et cetera, that everything we do at IBM is about helping the end users, making sure that we're making, for example, open source. As you know. Well, the number one provider of open source technology pre read had acquisition is IBM. We submit Maur into the open community. Renounce Now are we able to make some money off of that? Sure we are, but we do it for a reason, because IBM believes as day point out in this core research. Open computing is court research, and we just join the Open Foundation last week as well. So we're really big on making sure that what we do ourselves is Ethel now We try to make sure that what happens in the hands of people who buy our technology, which we can always track, is also done ethically. And we go out of our way to join the right industry. Associations work with governments, work with whatever we need to do to help make sure that technology could really be iRobot. Anyone who thinks that's not true. If you talk to your grandparent's goto, go to the moon. What are you talking about? >> What Star Trek. It's always >> come to me. Oh, yeah, >> I mean, if you're your iPhone is basically the old community. Transport is the only thing I wish I could have the transfer. Aziz. You know, >> David has the same frame us up. I'm afraid of flying, and I I felt like two million miles on United and David. He's laughs about flowers, so I'm waiting for the transport. I know that's why anymore there's a cone over here. Go stand. Or maybe maybe with a little bit of like, I'm selling my Bitcoin. No, hang on, just hold on. There's always a comeback. Not always. There could be a comeback because Derek always enjoy it as always. Thanks for the good seeing you. All right, Back with more Veum. World 2019 The Cube live 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. >> Hey, welcome back, everyone. Live Cube coverage of the emerald 2019 were here in San Francisco, California Mosconi North Lobby. Two sets Our 10th year covering the emerald in our 20th year of Of of our seasons of covering Me to be enterprised Tech. I'm Jeffrey Day Volonte student Justin Warren breaking down day to Cube insights segment. Dave's Do You Do You're on Set Valley set this the meadow set because it's got the steamboat chirping birds behind us. Justin, you've been doing some interviews out on the floor as well. Checking the story's out. All the news is out. Day one was all the big corporate stuff. Today was the product technology news stew. I'll go to you first. What's the assessment on your take on the M, where obviously they're reinventing themselves? Jerry Chen, who we interviewed, said this is Act three of'em where they keep on adding more and more prostitute their core, your thoughts on what's going on. >> So the biggest whore I've seen is the discussion of Tom Zoo, which really talking those cloud native applications. And if you break down VM wear, it's like many companies that said, There's the, you know, core product of the company. It is vey sphere. It is the legacy for what we have and it's not going anywhere, and it's changing. But, you know, then there's the modernization project Pacific howto a bridge to the multi cloud world. How do I bridge Kubernetes is going to come into the sphere and do that? But then there's the application world into the thing I've been. You know, the existential threat to VM, where I've been talking about forever is if we sas if I and cloud If I and all the APS go away, the data centers disappear in Vienna, where dominant, the data center is left out in the cold. So, you know, Pivotal was driving down that that path. They've done a lot of acquisitions, so love directionally where towns who's going time will tell whether they can play in that market. This is not a developer conference. We go to plenty of developer events, so, you know, that's you know, some of the places. I see you know, and and still, you know, >> narrator conference. You're right. Exactly Right. And just I want to get your thoughts, too, because you've been blocking heavily on this topic as well. Dev Ops in general, commenting on the Cube. You know, the reality and the reality, Uh, and the reality of situation from the the announcement. That's a vapor. They're doing some demos. They're really product directions. So product directions is always with VM. Where does it? It's not something that their shameful love, that's what they do. That's what they put out. It's not bakery >> company. It's a statement, A statement of >> direction. We were talking hybrid cloud in 2012 when I asked Pet guess it was a halfway house. He blew a gasket. And now, five years later, the gestation period for hybrid was that. But the end was happy to have the data center back in the back. In the play here, your thoughts on >> Yeah. So this conference is is, I think, a refreshing return to form. So, Vienna, where is as you say, this is an operators conference in Vienna. Where is for operators? It's not Four Dev's. There was a period there where cloud was scary And it was all this cloud native stuff in Vienna where tried to appeal to this new market, I guess tried to dress up and as something that it really wasn't and it didn't pull it off and we didn't It didn't feel right. And now Veum Way has decided that Well, no, actually, this is what they and where is about. And no one could be more Veum where than VM wear. So it's returning to being its best self. And I think you >> can software. They know software >> they know. So flick. So the addition of putting predict Enzo in and having communities in there, and it's to operate the software. So it's it's going to be in there an actual run on it, and they wanna have kubernetes baked into the sphere. So that now, yeah, we'll have new a new absent. Yeah, there might be SAS eps for the people who are consuming them, but they're gonna run somewhere. And now we could run them on van. Wait. Whether it's on Silent at the edge could be in the cloud your Veum wear on eight of us. >> David David so I want to get your thoughts just don't want to jump into because, you know, I love pivotal what they've done. I've always felt as a standalone company they probably couldn't compete with Amazon to scale what's going on in the other things. But bring it back in the fold in VM, where you mentioned this a couple of our interviews yesterday, Dave, and still you illuminate to to the fact of the cloud native world coming together. It's better inside VM wear because they can package pivotal and not have to bet the ranch on the outcome in the marketplace where this highly competitive statements out there so you get the business value of Pivotal. The upside now can be managed. Do your thoughts first, then go to date >> about Pivotal. Yeah, as >> an integrated, integrated is better for the industry than trying to bet the ranch on a pier play >> right? So, John, yesterday we had a little discussion about hybrid and multi cloud and still early about there, but the conversation of past five years ago was very different from the discussion. Today, Docker had a ripple effect with Containers and Veum. Where is addressing that and it made sense for Pivotal Cut to come home, if you will. They still have the Pivotal Labs group that can work with customers going through that transformation and a number of other pieces toe put together. But you ve m where is doing a good enough job to give customers the comfort that we can move you forward to the cloud. You don't have to abandon us and especially all those people that do VM Where is they don't have to be frozen where they are >> a business value. >> Well, I think you've got to start with the transaction and provide a historical context. So this goes back to what I used to call the misfit toys. The Federation. David Golden's taking bits and pieces of of of Dragon Pearl of assets in side of E, M. C and V M wear and then creating Pivotal out of whole cloth. They need an I P O. Michael Dell maintained 70% ownership of the company and 96% voting shares floated. The stock stock didn't do well, bought it back on 50 cents on the dollar. A so what the AIPO price was and then took a of Got a Brit, brought back a $4 billion asset inside of the M wear and paid $900 million for it. So it's just the brilliant financial transaction now, having said all that, what is the business value of this? You know, when I come to these shows, I'd liketo compare what they say in the messaging and the keynotes to what practitioners are saying in the practitioners last night were saying a couple of things. First of all, they're concerned about all the salmon. A like one. Practitioners said to me, Look, if it weren't for all these acquisitions that they announced last minute, what would we be hearing about here? It would have been NSX and V san again, so there's sort of a little concerns there. Some of the practitioners I talked to were really concerned about integration. They've done a good job with Nasasira, but some of the other acquisitions that they may have taken longer to integrate and customers are concerned, and we've seen this movie before. We saw the DMC. We certainly saw the tell. We're seeing it again now, at the end where Veum where? Well, they're very good at integrating companies. Sometimes that catches up to you. The last thing I'll say is we've been pushing You just mentioned it, Justin. On Dev's not a deaf show. Pivotal gives VM where the opportunity to whether it's a different show are an event within the event to actually attract the depths. But I would say in the multi cloud world, VM wears sitting in a good position. With the exception of developers pivotal, I think it's designed to solve that problem. Just tell >> your thoughts. >> Do you think that Veum, where is, is at risk of becoming a portfolio company just like a M A. M. C. Watts? Because it certainly looks at the moment to me like we look at all the different names for things, and I just look at the brand architecture of stuff. There are too many brands. There are too many product names, it's too confusing, and there's gonna have to be a culottes some point just to make it understandable for customers. Otherwise, we're just gonna end up with this endless sprawl, and we saw what the damage that did it. At present, I am saying >> it's a great point and Joseph Joe to cheese used to say that overlap is better than gaps, and I and I agree with him to appoint, you know better until it's not. And then Michael Dell came in and Bar came and said, Look, if we're gonna compete with Amazon's cost structure, we have to clean this mess up and that's what they've been doing it a lot of hard work on that. And so, yeah, they do risk that. I think if they don't do that integration, it's hard to do that. Integration, as you know, it takes time. Um, and so I have Right now. All looks good, right? Right down the middle. As you say, John, are >> multi cloud. Big topic gestation period is going to take five years to seven years. When the reality multi cloud a debate on Twitter last night, someone saying, I'm doing multi cloud today. I mean, we had Gelsinger's layout, the definition of multi cloud. >> Well, he laid out his definition definition. Everyone likes to define its. It's funny how, and we mentioned this is a stew and I earlier on the other set, cloud were still arguing about what cloud means exit always at multi cloud, which kind of multi cloud is a hybrid bowl over. And then you compare that to EJ computing, which computing was always going on. And then someone just came along and gave it a name and everyone just went, huh? OK, and go on with their lives. And so why is cloud so different and difficult for people to agree on what the thing is? >> There's a lot of money being made and lost, That's why >> right day the thing I've said is for multi cloud to be a real thing, it needs to be more valuable to a customer than the sum of its pieces on. And, you know, we know we're gonna be an Amazon reinvent later this year we will be talking, you know? Well, they will not be talking multi cloud. We might be talking about it, but >> they'll be hinting to hybrid cloud may or may not say >> that, you know, hybrid is okay in their world with outpost and everything they're doing in there partnering with VM wear. But you know, the point I've been looking at here is you know, management of multi vendor was atrocious. And, you know, why do we think we're going to any better. David, who hired me nine years ago. It was like I could spend my entire career saying, Management stinks and security needs to be, >> you know, So I want to share lawyers definition. They published in Wicked Bon on Multiply Multi Cloud Hybrid Cloudy, Putting together True Hybrid Cloud Multiply Any application application service can run on any node of the hybrid cloud without rewriting, re compiling or retesting. True hybrid cloud architectures have a consistent set of hardware. Software service is a P I is with integrated network security data and control planes that are native to and display the characteristics of public cloud infrastructure is a service. These attributes could be identically resident on other hybrid nodes independent of location, for example, including on public clouds on Prem or at the edge. That ain't happening. It's just not unless you have considered outposts cloud a customer azure stack. Okay, and you're gonna have collections of those. So that vision that he laid out, I just I think it's gonna >> be David. It's interesting because, you know, David and I have some good debates on this. I said, Tell me a company that has been better at than VM wear about taking a stack and letting it live on multiple hardware's. You know, I've got some of those cars are at a big piece last weekend talking about, you know, when we had to check the bios of everything and when blade Service rolled out getting Veum whereto work 15 years ago was really tough. Getting Veum were to work today, but the >> problem is you're gonna have outposts. You're gonna have project dimensions installed. You're gonna have azure stacks installed. You're gonna have roll your own out there. And so yeah, VM where is gonna work on all >> those? And it's not gonna be a static situation because, you know, when I talk to customers and if they're using V M where cloud on AWS, it's not a lift and shift and leave it there, Gonna modernize their things that could start using service is from the public cloud and they might migrate some of these off of the VM where environment, which I think, is the thing that I am talking to customers and hearing about that It's, you know, none of these situations are Oh, I just put it there and it's gonna live there for years. It's constantly moving and changing, and that is a major threat to VM wears multi clouds, >> Traffic pushes. Is it technically feasible without just insanely high degrees of homogeneity? That's that's the question. >> I I don't think it is and or not. I don't think it's a reasonable thing to expect anyway, because any enterprise you have any M and a activity, and all of a sudden you've got more than one that's always been true, and it will always be true. So if someone else makes a different choice and you buy them, then we'll have both. >> So maybe that's not a fair definition, but that's kind of what what? One could infer that. I think the industry is implying that that is hybrid multi club because that's the nirvana that everybody wants. >> Yeah, the only situation I can see where that could maybe come true would be in something like communities where you're running things on as an abstraction on top off everything else, and that that is a common abstraction that everyone agrees on and builds upon. But we're already seeing how that works out in real life. If >> I'm >> using and Google Antos. I can't easily move it to P. K s or open shift. There's English Kubernetes, as Joe Beta says, is not a magic layer, and everybody builds. On top of >> it, is it? Turns out it's actually not that easy. >> Well, and plus people are taken open source code, and then they're forking it and it building their own proprietary systems and saying, Hey, here's our greatest thing. >> Well, the to the to the credit of CNC, if Kubernetes. Does have a kind of standardized, agreed to get away away from that particular issue. So that's where it stands a better chance and say unfortunately, open stack. So because we saw a bit of that change of way, want to go this way? And we want to go that way. So there's a lot of seeing and zagging, at least with communities. You have a kind of common framework. But even just the implementation of that writing it, >> I love Cooper. I think I've been a big fan of committed from Day one. I think it's a great industry initiative. Having it the way it's rolling out is looking very good. I like it a lot. The comments that we heard on the Cube of Support. Some of my things that I'm looking at is for C N C s Q. Khan Come coop con Coming up is what happened with Kay, native and SDO because that's what I get to see the battleground for above Goober Netease. You see, that's what differentiates again. That's where that the vendors are gonna start to differentiate who they are. So I think carbonates. It could be a great thing. And I think what I learned here was virtualization underneath Kubernetes. It doesn't matter if you want to run a lot. Of'em Furat scale No big deal run Cooper's on top. You want to run in that bare metal? God bless you, >> Go for it. I think this use cases for both. >> That's why I particularly like Tenzer is because for those customers who wanna have a bit of this, cupidity is I don't want to run it myself. It's too hard. But if I trust Vienna where to be able to run that in to upgrade it and give me all of the goodness about operating it in the same way that I do the end where again we're in and I'll show. So now I can have stuff I already know in love, and I can answer incriminating on top of it. >> All right, But who's gonna mess up Multi clouds do. Who's the vendor? I'm not >> even saying it s so you can't mess up something that >> who's gonna think vision, this vision of multi cloud that the entire industry is putting forth who's gonna throw a monkey? The rich? Which vendor? Well, screw it. So >> you know, licensing usually can cause issues. You know, our friend Corey Crane with a nice article about Microsoft's licensing changes there. You know, there are >> lots of Amazon's plays. Oh, yeah. Okay. Amazon is gonna make it. >> A multi clock is not in the mob, >> but yet how could you do multi cloud without Amazon? >> They play with >> control. My the chessboard on my line has been Amazon is in every multi cloud because if you've got multiple clouds, there's a much greater than likely chance >> I haven't been. You know, my feeling is in looking at the history of how multi vendor of all from the I T industry from proprietary network operating systems, many computers toe open systems, D c P I P Web, etcetera. What's going on now is very interesting, and I think the sea so ce of the canary in the coal mine, not Cee Io's because they like multi vendor. They want multiple clouds. They're comfortable that they got staff for that si sos have pressure, security. They're the canary in the coal mine and all the seasons lights, while two are all saying multi clouds b s because they're building stacks internally and they want to create their own technology for security reasons and then build a P eyes and make a P. I's the supplier relationship and saying, Hey, supplier, if you want to work with me, me support my stack I think that is an interesting indication. What that means is that the entire multi cloud thing means we're pick one clown build on, have a backup. We'll deal with multiple clouds if there's workloads in there but primary one cloud, we'll be there. And I think that's gonna be the model. Yes, still be multiple clouds and you got azure and get office 3 65 That's technically multi cloud, >> but I want to make a point. And when pats on we joke about The cul de sac is hybrid cloud a cul de sac, and you've been very respectful and basically saying Yap had okay, But But But you were right, Really. What's hybrid would show me a hybrid cloud. It's taken all this time to gestate you where you see Federated Applications. It's happening. You have on prim workloads, and you have a company that has public cloud workloads. But they're not. Hybrid is >> the region. Some we'll talk about it, even multi. It is an application per cloud or a couple of clouds that you do it, but it's right. Did he follow the sun thing? That we might get there 15 years ago? Is >> no. You're gonna have to insist that this >> data moving around, consistent >> security, governance and all the organizational edicts across all those platforms >> the one place, like all week for that eventually and this is a long way off would be if you go with Serverless where it's all functions and now it's about service composition and I don't care where it lives. I'm just consuming a service because I have some data that I want to go on process and Google happens to have the best machine learning that I need to do it on that data. Also use that service. And then when I actually want to run the workload and host it somewhere else, I drop it into a CD in with an application that happens to run in AWS. >> Guys wrapping up day to buy It's just gonna ask, What is that animal? It must be an influence because hasn't said a word. >> Thistles. The famous blue cow She travels everywhere with me, >> has an INSTAGRAM account. >> She used to have an instagram. She now she doesn't. She just uses my Twitter account just in time to time. >> I learned a lot about you right now. Thanks for sharing. Great to have you. Great as always, Great commentary. Thanks for coming with Bay three tomorrow. Tomorrow. I want to dig into what's in this for Del Technologies. What's the play there when I unpacked, that is tomorrow on day three million. If there's no multi cloud and there's a big tam out there, what's in it for Michael Dell and BM where it's Crown Jewel as the main ingredient guys, thanks for coming stupid in Manchester words, David Want them? John, Thanks for watching day, too. Inside coverage here are wrap up. Thanks for watching

>> from Cambridge, Massachusetts. It's three Cube covering M I T. Chief data officer and information quality Symposium 2019. Brought to you by Silicon Angle Media. >> Welcome back. We're here to wrap up the M I T. Chief data officer officer, information quality. It's hashtag m i t CDO conference. You're watching the Cube. I'm David Dante, and Paul Gill is my co host. This is two days of coverage. We're wrapping up eyes. Our analysis of what's going on here, Paul, Let me let me kick it off. When we first started here, we talked about that are open. It was way saw the chief data officer role emerged from the back office, the information quality role. When in 2013 the CEO's that we talked to when we asked them what was their scope. We heard things like, Oh, it's very wide. Involves analytics, data science. Some CEOs even said Oh, yes, security is actually part of our purview because all the cyber data so very, very wide scope. Even in some cases, some of the digital initiatives were sort of being claimed. The studios were staking their claim. The reality was the CDO also emerged out of highly regulated industries financialservices healthcare government. And it really was this kind of wonky back office role. And so that's what my compliance, that's what it's become again. We're seeing that CEOs largely you're not involved in a lot of the emerging. Aye, aye initiatives. That's what we heard, sort of anecdotally talking to various folks At the same time. I feel as though the CDO role has been more fossilized than it was before. We used to ask, Is this role going to be around anymore? We had C I. Ose tell us that the CEO Rose was going to disappear, so you had both ends of the spectrum. But I feel as though that whatever it's called CDO Data's our chief analytics off officer, head of data, you know, analytics and governance. That role is here to stay, at least for for a fair amount of time and increasingly, issues of privacy and governance. And at least the periphery of security are gonna be supported by that CD a role. So that's kind of takeaway Number one. Let me get your thoughts. >> I think there's a maturity process going on here. What we saw really in 2016 through 2018 was, ah, sort of a celebration of the arrival of the CDO. And we're here, you know, we've got we've got power now we've got an agenda. And that was I mean, that was a natural outcome of all this growth and 90% of organizations putting sea Dios in place. I think what you're seeing now is a realization that Oh, my God, this is a mess. You know what I heard? This year was a lot less of this sort of crowing about the ascendance of sea Dios and Maura about We've got a big integration problem of big data cleansing problem, and we've got to get our hands down to the nitty gritty. And when you talk about, as you said, we had in here so much this year about strategic initiatives, about about artificial intelligence, about getting involved in digital business or customer experience transformation. What we heard this year was about cleaning up data, finding the data that you've got organizing it, applying meditator, too. It is getting in shape to do something with it. There's nothing wrong with that. I just think it's part of the natural maturation process. Organizations now have to go through Tiu to the dirty process of cleaning up this data before they can get to the next stage, which was a couple of three years out for most of >> the second. Big theme, of course. We heard this from the former head of analytics. That G s K on the opening keynote is the traditional methods have failed the the Enterprise Data Warehouse, and we've actually studied this a lot. You know, my analogy is often you snake swallowing a basketball, having to build cubes. E D W practitioners would always used to call it chasing the chips until we come up with a new chip. Oh, we need that because we gotta run faster because it's taking us hours and hours, weeks days to run these analytics. So that really was not an agile. It was a rear view mirror looking thing. And Sarbanes Oxley saved the E. D. W. Business because reporting became part of compliance thing perspective. The master data management piece we've heard. Do you consistently? We heard Mike Stone Breaker, who's obviously a technology visionary, was right on. It doesn't scale through this notion of duping. Everything just doesn't work and manually creating rules. It's just it's just not the right approach. This we also heard the top down data data enterprise data model doesn't works too complicated, can operationalize it. So what they do, they kick the can to governance. The Duke was kind of a sidecar, their big data that failed to live up to its promises. And so it's It's a big question as to whether or not a I will bring that level of automation we heard from KPMG. Certainly, Mike Stone breaker again said way heard this, uh, a cz well, from Andy Palmer. They're using technology toe automate and scale that big number one data science problem, which is? They spend all their time wrangling data. We'll see if that if that actually lives up >> to his probable is something we did here today from several of our guests. Was about the promise of machine learning to automate this day to clean up process and as ah Mark Ramsay kick off the conference saying that all of these efforts to standardize data have failed in the past. This does look, He then showed how how G s K had used some of the tools that were represented here using machine learning to actually clean up the data at G S. K. So there is. And I heard today a lot of optimism from the people we talked to about the capability of Chris, for example, talking about the capability of machine learning to bring some order to solve this scale scale problem Because really organizing data creating enterprise data models is a scale problem, and the only way you can solve that it's with with automation, Mike Stone breaker is right on top of that. So there was optimism at this event. There was kind of an ooh, kind of, ah, a dismay at seeing all the data problems they have to clean up, but also promised that tools are on the way that could do that. >> Yeah, The reason I'm an optimist about this role is because data such a hard problem. And while there is a feeling of wow, this is really a challenge. There's a lot of smart people here who are up for the challenge and have the d n a for it. So the role, that whole 360 thing. We talked about the traditional methods, you know, kind of failing, and in the third piece that touched on, which is really bringing machine intelligence to the table. We haven't heard that as much at this event. It's now front and center. It's just another example of a I injecting itself into virtually every aspect every corner of the industry. And again, I often jokes. Same wine, new bottle. Our industry has a habit of doing that, but it's cyclical, but it is. But we seem to be making consistent progress. >> And the machine learning, I thought was interesting. Several very guest spoke to machine learning being applied to the plumbing projects right now to cleaning up data. Those are really self contained projects. You can manage those you can. You can determine out test outcomes. You can vet the quality of the of the algorithms. It's not like you're putting machine learning out there in front of the customer where it could potentially do some real damage. There. They're vetting their burning in machine, learning in a environment that they control. >> Right, So So, Amy, Two solid days here. I think that this this conference has really grown when we first started here is about 130 people, I think. And now it was 500 registrants. This'd year. I think 600 is the sort of the goal for next year. Moving venues. The Cube has been covering this all but one year since 2013. Hope to continue to do that. Paul was great working with you. Um, always great work. I hope we can, uh we could do more together. We heard the verdict is bringing back its conference. You put that together. So we had column. Mahoney, um, had the vertical rock stars on which was fun. Com Mahoney, Mike Stone breaker uh, Andy Palmer and Chris Lynch all kind of weighed in, which was great to get their perspectives kind of the days of MPP and how that's evolved improving on traditional relational database. And and now you're Stone breaker. Applying all these m i. Same thing with that scale with Chris Lynch. So it's fun to tow. Watch those guys all Boston based East Coast folks some news. We just saw the news hit President Trump holding up jet icon contractors is we've talked about. We've been following that story very closely and I've got some concerns over that. It's I think it's largely because he doesn't like Bezos in The Washington Post Post. Exactly. You know, here's this you know, America first. The Pentagon says they need this to be competitive with China >> and a I. >> There's maybe some you know, where there's smoke. There's fire there, so >> it's more important to stick in >> the eye. That's what it seems like. So we're watching that story very closely. I think it's I think it's a bad move for the executive branch to be involved in those type of decisions. But you know what I know? Well, anyway, Paul awesome working with you guys. Thanks. And to appreciate you flying out, Sal. Good job, Alex Mike. Great. Already wrapping up. So thank you for watching. Go to silicon angle dot com for all the news. Youtube dot com slash silicon angles where we house our playlist. But the cube dot net is the main site where we have all the events. It will show you what's coming up next. We've got a bunch of stuff going on straight through the summer. And then, of course, VM World is the big kickoff for the fall season. Goto wicked bond dot com for all the research. We're out. Thanks for watching Dave. A lot day for Paul Gillon will see you next time.

>> live from London, England. It's the queue covering a ws summat. London twenty nineteen, brought to you by Amazon Web services. >> Welcome back to London, Everybody. This is David Lamont and you watch the Cube. The leader and live tech coverage has been a incredible week for the Cube. Three events this week in London that we had six events worldwide. We started out yesterday with a public sector session. Special mini session We did for Teresa Carlson at eight of US headquarters. And we did it impact investor event last night, Of course. All day here at the eight of US Summit in London at Excel Centre. Twelve thousand people. We're going to wrap up now. My good friend Kim Myers here is the managing director of M. C. I experience Kim. Thanks for coming on. My pleasure. First time on the Cube You got to give you a sticker. >> Thank you. Make you know, great to see you is also great to be here >> to have you. So you are branding expert. We've had a lot of conversations about this. You and I go way back. Do you brand Is everything every touch point? I mean, you would tell me a story last night and I let you pick it up from here of Apple. You see the apple logo, but so why is Brandon so important? What's M. C I experience and how are you helping brands? >> Yeah, Well, Dave, I think it's really amazing, like this event today. You know, we have a lot of technology out there today. We're really digitally enabled, and that's great. I mean, it's amazing what we can do now with technology, but, you know, it also is a little distracting. And and some in fact, there was a recent study that said that kids air haven't developed social skills because there is, they feel more comfortable communicating online, you know? So I think the technology is really great and it's important. But that human human connection is really the thing that makes the difference. And I think brands are starting to recognize that that actually live experiences do cut through the clutter, the digital clutter and getting people together with common interests, getting them engaged. Letting them participate really makes a difference in terms of their affinity and loyalty and even advocacy for your brand. >> So M. C. I experience does that. >> Yeah, that's were essentially work with companies across a lot of industries, but certainly the tech industry. But helping companies, um, developed ways of engaging with their audiences and more meaningful ways. And actually, it's a very human centric approach. So basically the way we look at it is it's not so much about logistics. That's important. Of course, right. You gotta register people. You're gonna have so many breakout rooms got over that gotta, gotta thank you guys. But it's really more about understanding your audience on DH, where they drive benefit and making sure that you're meeting that need. And that's really where your band, your brand, starts to benefit. So we use a design thinking methodology. We're really very focused on the audience using empathy and ideation and you know, just really, really getting to know who those guys are like this crowd and making sure that every touch point of the experience, how it smells the temperature, the lighting, everything smells house. No, seventy percent of your memory is from smell, you know, and yet we never even think about >> it. It's weird when you run a defense, >> you don't even think about it. really. It's just like Exactly. So it's, uh, that sort of multi sensory, engaging aspect of what we do is what m. C. A Experienced specializes in and working with clients to help them sort of look at new ways of creating experiences that really engaged their audiences and really create community around those audiences in terms of loyal fans and customers. >> So we hear it at Amazon. You see this audience? Obviously a developer crowd? Yeah. Um what, do your thoughts here just walking around? >> Well, as I was saying, I think you know, we were talking about this earlier. You know, developer crowd doesn't like flashy marketing because they're suspicious of it, right? You think I like you? David Tyree? Exactly. Uh, Mrs Perfect Tone. I think the tone created here is great. It's a little rough and ready, and that's great. And that's how it should be because that's ah, developers and warranted in the content than the show. And I think it's got the audience bang on. >> So how do you use data to inform this brand experience? >> Yeah, so date is becoming obviously really important, and event technology is you know, it's amazing today the kinds of things we can do. I mean, we can track people and monitor them and take their temperature. I mean, if we want to, you know, you could do an amazing number of things, see >> how they smell >> exactly. And the thing about it is, that date is important. Of course it is. But insights even more important. And that means using data in the right way the right analytics asking the right questions, not just relying on demographics, but really getting to know people on building personas and understanding who your audience is. And I think it's the two things need to fit hand in hand in hand. >> Data is plentiful, actionable insights, you're saying are not necessary, >> not necessarily, not necessarily, and that that that, I think, is really, really important. You know, we call an empathy planning, but it's kind of like walking in the shoes of your audience like, would you like this? Would you be happy with this, or would you find this long queue to register annoying? You know, you have to sort of, you know, actually get in there, get in their shoes and and feel it just like you're going to feel it. >> Well, it's sometimes it's hard to predict it. It is. This is a pretty large venue. But it was packed today, but I don't think they could hold many more people. So I guess you have to say sorry. We've got to cut it off of this because of the experience. I mean, making hard decisions like that. Is that what you recommend? Yeah, >> I think of you. Well, the other thing, too, is, you know, our our attention span time. Someone told me recently that our attention spans like less than a gold fish. I don't know, I don't know anymore, but, you know, it's ah, you know what I want. One thing about the audience now is that they don't need to be polite, and they don't need to pay attention to boring content. And they don't need to do any of that because they're in power, right? Exactly. You know how many bent So I've been to where the entire audience is like looking at their phones with their ipads or the computers on DH checking out on the content, you know. So if you really want to engage people, you need to make sure that the experience really resonates with them. And having said that, you need to use technology because we live in this kind of on live world and people say to me like What's on line like you ever drive was sat Now you know you're driving, but you're being instructed by an application and a lot of what we do today, whether you're finding the bank on your phone, your dentist or your phone or you're doing this or that, we're connected in both ways. And so I think that's really important that we recognize that you can't tell people to turn their phones off. You can't necessarily, you know, use technology and interruptive way. It needs to be part of how people live their lives around this. >> So I have observed that we do a lot of these events and that's it becomes like rock concerts, and sometimes you say, Wow, this is a little over the top Now that's not from inferring right. That's not necessarily a bad thing. If your audience is into it, if your audience is, you know, some guy who provisions lungs, you know every day and gets out to Las Vegas once a year. Maybe that's an OK thing. I think it is. It's really understanding the audience. >> It is understanding the audience. And I think it is a good okay thing. And, you know, you want to have your audience entertained, engaged and, you know, have fun. And I want to tell people about it. Like I'm in Las Vegas. You're not, You know, they're like, you want people to get really fired up about what you're doing. And and and by the way, they're going to give your brand credit for that. They're going to say, you know, bam. I was at this event. Was it rocked? It was amazing. There was great entertainment. There is also a great content. There was great networking, you know, And the beer wasn't all that cheap. So, you know, you get all that stuff together and you have a really great time. >> So you're built your now building out a team? Yeah. Yeah. Tell me about tell me about the team and your vision. >> Okay, So, m c. I is a big company. We're in sixty three countries around the world, so we're not small fry. But the truth is, you know, the A big part of our business had been P. C. A. Is PCO professional. Congress organizes a lot of association events, and that's something and meetings, planning. And that's one thing. And of course, today experiences. They're changing. And it's not about just the logistics. It's really about again. Understand your audience, using strategy and creative to create compelling experiences. And that's what I'm CIA experience is doing. And we're doing it here in the UK we're getting set up, and it's going really, really well, and we're going to roll it out, you know, it's going to It's going to go around the world. So, um, we're working with some Fantastic brand's doing some fantastic project so we're all really excited. >> So what? Follow up question. But other than that, you're awesome. You are. You really have been an expert at this. You've You've worked. You know, I'd G worked G p j worked at Freeman, and I'm not on. Yeah, yeah. You've seen it around too much. You've seen the good, the bad and the ugly. And now you've taken that experience and you're bringing it to M. C. I experience no pun intended and you're trying to build out a sort of a next generation experience from Butt. But other than the fact that you're awesome, why should I work with you? >> Well, I tell you, you know, I think that the most of the clients that we work with come to us saying, You know, we don't know. We don't know And I think that's really, really important. I always tell this story. It's called the It's called the Drunkards Paradox, where a drunk man is underneath the lamppost pounding the ground and another man walks by. And so So what do you doing? And he says, I'm looking for my keys. And so the other guy gets down on his hands and knees. He's padding around. And then he said, Did you drop your keys right here under the lamppost? Because no, I dropped them across the street in the dark. Well, then why are you looking here? Because the light is much better here. And I have I tell you that I have a lot of experience in this business and events professionals on DH. Even some experience agencies tend to look where the light is better not where the breakthrough ideas are, and I think we are committed to making sure that we were really closely replying to really understand their brand, really understand who they're trying to build relationships with and and beg, borrow and steal from other disciplines, you know, in an intersectional way to create new kinds of opportunities for engagement. >> One of the things that mantra inside one of the many monsters inside of Amazon has raised the bar. I was at their UK headquarters yesterday, and she raised the bar signs all over the place. It's not a rinse and repeat culture. That's really what you're saying here that is easy to rinse and repeat. It's easy to look for the keys where the light the light is better, right? But that's not transformational. That's not transformation. It's really awesome. Having I'LL give you the last word the conference >> are Well, I think the conference was It was a great day here, and I think, you know, just just testimony to that is how long people stayed and stayed till the very end. You know, they were they were engaged and lots of great conversations were going on, you know, so fantastic. Well done. A WS and Amazon Web services and, um, yeah. More to come. >> Pleasure having you. Thanks for coming. All right. Thank you for watching everybody. That's a wrap here from London. Check out silicon angle dot com for all the news. The cube dot net is where all you find all these videos. Wicked bond dot com for the research Is David Dante signing out from London? Thanks for watching.

>> From our studios in the heart of Silicon Valley. HOLLOWAY ALTO, California It is a cube conversation. >> Hello and welcome to Cube conversations. I'm James Kabila's lead analyst at Wicked Bond. Today we've got an excellent guest. Who's a Cube alumnus? Par excellence. It's your own Haviv who is the founder and CEO of a guajillo. Hello. You're wrong. Welcome in. I think you're you're coming in from Tel Aviv. If I'm not mistaken, >> right? Really? Close the deal of any thanks from my seeing you again. >> Yeah. Nice to see you again. So I'm here in our Palo Alto studios. And so I'm always excited when I can hear your own and meet with your room because he always has something interesting in new to share. But what they're doing in the areas of cloud and serve earless and really time streaming analytics And now, data science. I wasn't aware of how deeply they're involved in the whole data Science pipelines, so ah, your own. This is great to have you. So my first question really is. Can you sketch out? What are the emerging marketplace requirements that USA gua Si are seeing in the convergence of all these spaces? Especially riel time streaming analytics edge computing server lis and data science and A I can you give us a sort of ah broad perspective and outlook on the convergence and really the new opportunities or possibilities that the convergence of those technologies enable for enterprises that are making deep investments. >> Yeah, so I think we were serving dissipated. What's happening now? We just call them different names will probably get into into this discussion in a minute. I think what you see is the traditional analytics and even data scientist Science was starting at sort of a research labs, people exploring cancer, expressing, you know, impact. Whether on, you know, people's moved its era. And now people are trying to make real or a Y from a guy in their assigned, so they have to plug it within business applications. Okay, so it's not just a veil. A scientist Inning the silo, you know, with a bunch of large that he got from his friends, the data engineer in the scan them and Derrickson Namesake runs to the boss and says, You know what? You know, we could have made some money in a year ago. We've done something so that doesn't make a lot of impact on the business, where the impact on the business is happening is when you actually integrate a I in jackpot in recommendation engines in doing predictive analytics on analyzing failures and saving saving failures on, you know, saving people's life. Those kind of use cases. Doctors are the ones that record a tighter integration between the application and the data and algorithms that come from the day I. And that's where we started to think about our platform. Way worked on a real time data, which is where you know, when you're going into more production environment of not fatal accident. Very good, very fast integration with data. And we have this sort of fast computation layer, which was a one micro services, and now everyone talks about micro services. We sort of started with this area, and that is allowing people to build those intelligent application that are integrated into the business applications. And the biggest challenges they see today for organizations is moving from this process of books on research, on data in a historical data and translating that into a visit supplication or into impact on business application. This is where people can spend the year. You know, I've seen the tweet saying with build a machine learning model in, like, a few weeks. And now we've waited eleven months for the product ization. So that artifact, >> Yes, that's what we're seeing it wicked bomb. Which is that A. I is the heart of modern applications in business and the new generation of application developers, in many ways, our data scientists, or have you know, lovers the skills and tools for data science. Now, looking at a glass zeros portfolio, you evolve so rapidly and to address a broader range of use cases I've seen. And you've explained it over the years that in position to go, as well as being a continuous data platform and intelligent edge platform, a surveillance platform. And now I see that you're a bit of a data science workbench or pipeline tooling. Clever. Could you connect these dots here on explain what is a guajillo fully >> role, Earl? Nice mark things for this in technology that we've built, OK, just over the years, you know, people, four years when we started, So we have to call it something else. Well, that I thought that analytic sort of the corporate state of science. And when we said continued analytics, we meant essentially feeding data and running, some of them speaking some results. This is the service opposed to the trend of truth which was dating the lady Throw data in and then you run the batch that analytic and they're like, Do you have some insight? So continue statistics was served a term that we've came up with a B, not the basket. You know, describe that you're essentially thinking, needing from different forces crunching it, Prue algorithms and generating triggers and actions are responsible user requests. Okay on that will serve a pretty unique and serve the fireman here in this industry even before they called it streaming or in a real time, data science or whatever. Now, if you look at our architecture are architecture, as I explained before, is comprised of three components. The first event is a real time, full time model database. You know, you know about it really exceptional in his performance and its other capabilities. The second thing is a pursue miss engine that allows us to essentially inject applications. Various guys, initially we started with application. I sense you do analytics, you know, grouping joining, you know, correlating. And then we start just adding more functions and other things like inference, saying humans recognitions and analysis. It's Arab is we have dysfunction engine. It allows us a lot of flexibility and find the really fast for the engine on a really fast data there endure it, remarkable results and then this return calling this turn this micro assume it's finger serve Ellis who certainly even where have the game of this or service gang. And the third element of our platform is a sense she having a fully manage, passed a platform where a ll those micro services our data and it threw a self service into face surfing over there is a mini cloud. You know, we've recently the last two years we've shifted to working with coronaries versus using our own A proprietary micro spurs does or frustration originally. So we went into all those three major technologies. Now, those pit into different application when they're interesting application. If you think about edge in the engine in serving many clouds, you need variety of data, sources and databases. With you, no problem arose streaming files. Terra. We'LL support all of them when our integrated the platform and then you need to go micro services that developed in the cloud and then just sort of shift into the enforcement point in the edge. And you need for an orchestration there because you want to do suffer upgrades, you need to protect security. So having all the integrated separated an opportunity for us to work with providers of agin, you may have noticed our joint announcement with Google around solution for hedge around retailers and an i O. T. We've made some announcement with Microsoft in the fast. We're going to do some very interesting announcement very soon. We've made some joint that nonsense with Samsung and in video, all around those errands, we continue. It's not that we're limited to EJ just what happens because we have extremely high density data platform, very power of fish and very well integrated. It has a great feat in the India, but it's also the same platform that we sell in. The cloud is a service or we sell two on from customers s so they can run. The same things is in the clouds, which happens to be the fastest, most real time platform on the Advantage service. An essential feature cannot just ignore. >> So you're wrong. Europe. Yeah, Iguazu is a complete cloud, native development and run time platform. Now serve earless in many ways. Seems to be the core of your capability in your platform. New Cleo, which is your technology you've open sourced. It's bill for Prem bays to private clouds. But also it has is extensible to be usable in broader hybrid cloud scenarios. Now, give us a sense for how nuclear and civilised functions become valuable or useful for data science off or for executing services or functions of data of the data science pipeline kick you connect the dots of nuclear and data science and a I from the development standpoint >> church. So So I think you know, the two pillars that we have technology that the most important ones are the data. You know, we have things like twelve batons on our data engine is very high performance and nuclear functions, and also they're very well integrated because usually services stateless. So you know, you you end up. If you want to practice that they have some challenges with service with No, no, you can't. You stay for use cases. You can mount files. You have real time connections to data, so that makes it a lot more interesting than just along the functions. The other thing, with no clothes that is extremely high performance has about two hundred times faster than land. So that means that you can actually go and build things like the stream processing and joins in real time all over practice, their base activities. You can just go and do collectors. We call them those like things. Go fetch information from whether services from routers for the X cybersecurity analysis for all sorts of sensors. So those functions are becoming like, you know, those nanobots technology of off the movies is that you just send them over to go and do things for you, whether it's the daily collection and crunching, whether it's the influencing engines, those things that, for example, get a picture of very put the model, decide what's in the picture, and that this is where we're really comes into play. They nothing important you see now an emergence off a service patterns in data science. So there are many companies that do like mother influencing as a service city what they do, they launch an end point of your eleven point and serve runs the model inside you send the Vector America values and get back in the Americans and their conversion. It's not really different and service it just wait more limited because I don't just want to send a vector off numbers because usually I understand really like a geo location of my cellphone, which are user I D. And I need dysfunction to cross correlated with other information about myself with the location. Then came commendation of which a product they need to buy. So and then those functions also have all sorts of dependency exam on different packages. Different software environment, horribles, build structures, all those. This is really where service technologies are much more suitable now. It's interesting that if you'LL go to Amazon, they have a product called Sage Maker. I'm sure yes, which is dinner, then a science block. Okay, now sage mint for although you would say that's a deal use case for after Onda functions actually don't use Amazon London functions in sage maker, and you ask yourself, Why aren't they using Lambda Stage Maker just telling you, you know you could use Lambda is a blue logic around sage maker. And that's because because London doesn't feed the use case. Okay, because lambda doesn't it is not capable of storing large content and she learning miles could be hundreds of megabytes or Landa is extremely slow. So you cannot do hi concurrency influencing with will land the function so essentially had to create another surveillance and college with a different name. Although if they just would have approved Landa, maybe it was one or a Swiss are So we're looking, We've took it, were taken the other approach We don't have the resources that I have so we created a monster virus Engine one servant attention does batch Frost is saying scream processing, consort, lots of data, even rocketeer services to all the different computation pattern with a single engine. And that's when you started taking all this trend because that's about yeah, we need two version our code. We need to, you know, record all our back into dependencies. And although yes, service doesn't so if we just had to go and tied more into the existing frameworks and you've looked at our frantically product called Tokyo Jupiter, which is essentially a scientist, right, some code in his data's passport book and then in clicks. One command called nuclear Deploy, it automatically compiles, is their science artifact in notebooks, that server and converted into a real hand function that can listen in on your next city. People can listen on streams and keep the scheduled on various timing. It could do magic. So many other things. So, and the interesting point is that if you think about their scientists there, not the farmers, because they should be a scientist on this's means that they actually have a bigger barrier to write in code. So if you serve in this framework that also automates the law daughter scaling the security provisioning of data, the versions of everything in fact fantasies, they just need to focus on writing other them's. It's actually a bigger back for the book. Now, if you just take service into them, Epstein's and they will tell you, Yeah, you know, we know how to explain, Doctor. We know all those things, so they're very their eyes is smaller than the value in the eyes of their scientists. So that's why we're actually seeing this appeal that those those people that essentially focus in life trying math and algorithms and all sorts of those sophisticated things they don't want to deal with. Coding and maintenance are refreshed. And by also doing so by oppression analyzing their cool for service, you can come back to market. You can address calle ability to avoid rewriting of code. All those big challenges the organizations are facing. >> You're gonna have to ask you, that's great. You have the tools to build, uh, help customers build serve Ellis functions for and so forth inside of Jupiter notebooks. And you mentioned Sage Maker, which is in a WS solution, which is up in coming in terms of supporting a full data science tool chain for pipeline development. You know, among teams you have a high profile partnerships with Microsoft and Google and Silver. Do you incorporate or integrator support either of these cloud providers own data science workbench offerings or third party offerings from? There's dozens of others in this space. What are you doing in terms of partnerships in that area? >> Yeah, obviously we don't want to lock us out from any of those, and, you know, if someone already has his work bench that I don't know my customers say they were locking me into your world back in our work when things are really cool because like our Jupiter is connected for real time connections to the database. And yes, serve other cool features that sentir getting like a huge speed boost we have. But that's on A with an within vigna of round Heads and Integration, which reviews are creating a pool of abuse from each of one of the data scientist running on African essentially launch clubs on this full of civilians whose off owning the abuse, which are extremely expensive, is you? No. But what we've done is because of her. The technology beside the actual debate engine is open source. We can accept it essentially just going any sold packages. And we demonstrate that to Google in danger. The others we can essentially got just go and load a bunch of packages into their work match and make it very proposed to what we provide in our manage platform. You know, not with the same performance levels. Well, functionality wise, the same function. >> So how can you name some reference customers that air using a guajillo inside a high performance data science work flows is ah, are you Are there you just testing the waters in that market for your technology? Your technology's already fairly mature. >> That says, I told you before, although you know, sort of changed messaging along the lines. We always did the same thing. So when we were continuous analytics and we've spoken like a year or two ago both some news cases that we Iran like, you know, tell cooperators and running really time, you know, health, a predictive health, monitoring their networks and or killing birds and those kind of things they all use algorithms. You control those those positions. We worked with Brian nailing customers so we can feed a lot of there there in real time maps and do from detection. And another applications are on all those things that we've noticed that all of the use cases that we're working with involved in a science in some cases, by the way, because of sort of politics that with once we've said, we have analytics for continuous analytics, we were serving send into sent into the analytic schools with the organization, which more focused on survey data warehouse because I know the case is still serve. They were saying, and I do. And after the people that build up can serve those data science applications and serve real time. Aye, aye. OK, Ianto. Business applications or more, the development and business people. This is also why we sort of change are our name, because we wanted to make it very clear that we're aren't the carnage is about building a new applications. It's not about the warehousing or faster queries. On a day of Eros is about generating value to the business, if you ask it a specific amplification. And we just announced two weeks in the investment off Samsung in Iguazu, former that essentially has two pillars beyond getting a few million dollars, It says. One thing is that they're adopted. No cure. Is there a service for the internal clouds on the second one is, we're working with them on a bunch of us, Della sighs. Well, use case is one of them was even quoted in enough would make would be There are no I can not say, but says she knows our real business application is really a history of those that involves, you know, in in intercepting data from your sister's customers, doing real time on analytics and responding really quickly. One thing that we've announced it because of youse off nuclear sub picture. We're done with inferior we actually what were pulled their performance. >> You're onto you see if you see a fair number of customers embedding machine learning inside of Realtor time Streaming stream computing back ones. This is the week of Flink forward here in San San Francisco. I I was at the event earlier this week and I I saw the least. They're presenting a fair amount of uptake of ml in sight of stream computing. Do you see that as being a coming meet Mainstream best practice. >> Streaming is still the analytics bucket. OK, because what we're looking for is a weakness which are more interactive, you know, think about like, uh, like a chatterbox or like doing a predictive analytic. It's all about streaming. Streaming is still, you know, it's faster flow data, but it's still, sir has delay the social. It's not responses, you know. It's not the aspect of legacy. Is that pickle in streaming? Okay, the aspect of throughput is is higher on streaming, but not necessarily the response that I think about sparks streaming. You know, it's good at crossing a lot of data. It's definitely not good at three to one on would put spark as a way to respond to user request on the Internet S O. We're doing screaming, and we see that growth. But think where we see the real growth is panic to reel of inches. The ones with the customer logs in and sends a request or working with telcos on scenarios where conditions of LA car, if the on the tracks and they settled all sorts of information are a real time invent train. Then the customer closer says, I need a second box and they could say No, this guy needs to go away to that customer because how many times you've gotten technician coming to your house and said I don't have that more exactly. You know, they have to send a different guy. So they were. How do you impact the business on three pillars of business? Okay, the three pillars are one is essentially improving your china Reducing the risk is essentially reducing your calls. Ask him. The other one is essentially audio, rap or customer from a more successful. So this is around front and application and whether it's box or are doing, you know our thing or those kind of us kisses. And also under you grow your market, which is a together on a recommendation in at this time. So all those fit you if you want, have hey, I incorporated in your business applications. In few years you're probably gonna be dead. I don't see any bits of sustained competition without incorporating so ability to integrate really real data with some customer data and essentially go and react >> changes. Something slightly you mentioned in video as a partner recently, Of course, he announced that few weeks ago. At their event on, they have recently acquired Melon ox, and I believe you used to be with Melon Axe, so I'd like to get your commentary on that acquisition or merger. >> Right? Yes, yes, I was VP Data Center man Ox. Like my last job, I feel good friends off off the Guider, including the CEO and the rest of the team with medicines. And last week I was in Israel's with talk to the media. Kansas. Well, I think it's a great merger if you think about men in Ox Head as sort of the best that breaking and storage technology answer Silicon Side and the video has the best view technologies, man. It's also acquired some compute cheap technologies, and they also very, very nice. Photonics technologies and men are today's being by all the club providers. Remiss Troll was essentially only those technical engagement would like the seizures and you know the rest of the gas. So now VP running with the computation engine in and minerals coming, we serve the rest of the pieces were our storage and make them a very strong player. And I think it's our threatens intel because think about it until they haven't really managed to high speed networking recently. They haven't really managed to come with Jiffy use at your combat and big technology, and so I think that makes a video, sort of Ah, pretty. You know, vendor and suspect. >> And another question is not related to that. But you're in Tel Aviv, Israel. And of course, Israel is famous for the start ups in the areas of machine learning. And so, especially with a focus on cyber security of the Israel, is like near the top of the world in terms of just the amount of brainpower focused on cyber security there. What are the hot ML machine? Learning related developments or innovations you see, coming out of Israel recently related to cybersecurity and distributed cloud environments, anything in terms of just basic are indeed technology that we should all be aware of that will be finding its way into mainstream Cloud and Cooper Netease and civilised environments. Going forward, your thoughts. >> Yes, I think there are different areas, you know, The guys in Israel also look at what happens in sort of the U. S. And their place in all the different things. I think with what's unique about us is a small country is always trying to think outside of the box because we know we cannot compete in a very large market. It would not have innovation. So that's what triggers this ten of innovation part because of all this tippy expects in the country. And also there's a lot of cyber, you know, it's time. I think I've seen one cool startup. There's also backed by our VC selling. Serve, uh, think about like face un recognition, critical technology off sent you a picture and make it such that you machine learning will not be able to recognize Recognize that, you know, sort of out of the cyber attack for image recognition. So that's something pretty unique that I've heard. But there are other starts working on all the aspects on their ops and information in our animal and also cyber automated cyber security and hope. Curious aspect. >> Right, Right. Thank you very much. Your own. This has been an excellent conversation, and we've really enjoyed hearing your comments. And Iguazu. It was a great company. Quite quite an innovator is always a pleasure to have you on the Cube. With that, I'm going to sign off. This is James Kabila's with wicked bond with your own haviv on dh er we bid You all have a good day. >> Thank you.

>>live from Las Vegas. It's the Cube covering. Inform Attica, World 2018 Not you. Buy in for Monica. >>I am Peter Burroughs Wellcome. Back to Day two. Coverage on a cube of in from Attica, World 2018. We're broadcasting from the Venetian here in beautiful Las Vegas. Certainly a lot of excitement. A lot of the buzz just heard the general session empty. Probably 1000 people in the room looking at various moods. Excited to be here this morning. We're being joined by my co host. Jim Kabila's Jim is lead analyst to Wicked Bond. Silicon Angle. Looking at a lot of the data and data practice issues on our first guest is want Te'o One is a principle of data management on architecture at Deloitte one. Welcome to the Cube. >>Great. Thank you, guys. Thank you guys for having me. >>So let's kick it off. What's do you do with Deloitte? What's interesting? What a customer is talking about? >>Yeah. No, absolutely. I mean, I think you know, we are absolutely at the what I would call inflection point around the importance of data. And so my role at the Lloyd is to lead our data management and architecture practice, which essentially deals with everything from data strategy today to execution and how we enable all their transformational initiatives right to truly take advantage of the power that data has to unlock. You know, better business processes to unlock better insights, right to take better action, right? I mean everything that we've been historically talking about, right? In terms of what can organizations do around their data asset? My job is to ensure that we are leading guiding, driving and developing these solutions for our clients. >>So here's a simple question. Just kind of kick it off and see where it goes way. Think that data is becoming more important? You think the day is coming on or important? Are you finding yourself still talking to people that are data administrators or you finding yourselves being pulled into higher level conversations within the business? Talk about data asset, date ass, information, data, asset returns. How is that changing? >>I would say it's evolving, right? I mean, if I and so I have the privilege of running or practice nationally, right? So I have the approach of looking at all of the various industries and sectors right. And so I think, you know, if you take the financial service is life science, healthcare industries, right where there's a lot more regulatory demand on data ensuring that you know what it is, where it's coming from. It's got the right data standards and qualities. I would say they they've gotten it long ago, right? And they've put in place data management organizations. We hear the chief data officer, right? I would say those industries and sectors are a lot more prominent on DSO the conversations absolutely at the executive level, right? There is an executive owner that's responsible for ensuring that the data is correct. >>Tell us about changing data landscape one. Why do enterprises need to change their data strategy and architecture? What do you What do you hear from clients telling them? >>Yeah, I think it's quite simple, right? It is so absolutely enable their business strategy right. You can no longer enable your business strategy without without the data dimension, right? I mean, for many, many years we've talked about, you know, people process technology, right? Well, now there's 1/4 dimension, right? People process technology and data on dhe. That's how we like to think about it. Is that important? Right? You need that executive, and I'll use two words very, very distinctly, right. You don't need an executive data sponsor. You need an executive data owner. Right? And that's the transformation, right? In the evolution that we're seeing in the market and that we're actually advocating for right to truly unlocked that business strategy, that business outcome that they're looking >>for. So let's talk about if we're gonna do that, then we need tools to do it. Yeah, absolutely. So we're talking about data we're talking about data owners we're talking about practice is to actually create generate value out of data. That's not something we're going to manually, right? Talk about some of the tools generally that your clients are starting to apply to improve their productivity of doing these things. >>Yeah. I mean, I would say there's a sort of standard spectrum of data management tools ride from, you know, the database to master data management to quality to meta data management. Right. So each of these technical capabilities and tools right provide the capabilities required to manage that sort of data supply chain right? There is infinite sources of data and there's infinite sources of demand, right? And it is the responsibility of, you know, the data management organization, too, to manage that supply chain. And obviously you need tools and you need technology to sort of support that entire life cycle. >>What is the one thing that you tell clients that need to do with their data in order to stay competitive? Is there one imperative thing that they all need to do with their data just to stay in the thick of whatever it is they do in their industry? >>Yes. So the one thing I always advise our clients is all data is not created equal, right? So fine and identify the data that truly Dr Value for your organization. Because that's been, I would say, one of the biggest challenges in this space, right is everyone's drowning in data, right? And so to bring all these capabilities for your entire, you know, sort of landscape in your organization, it's massive, right? It's just too big, right? So ty value and outcomes to the data that matters, right? So I'll give an example, right? So in retail, right, I mean their values around knowing their customers and the products that they So to those customers, right? So let's start double clicking underneath that and figuring out and ensuring that that data right has all the rights standards is up to quality so it can meet those business strategies, right? Don't go after everything, Right, map business outcome and value to the data that supports that. >>What's the role of the chief data officer and the other C level executives in driving that sort of transformation? Yeah. How is their role changing? >>So I would say the chief date officer role is again evolving and still maturing. Not everyone has it, but I do see them as the when the next executive sea level rose. That will truly be a catalyst for change and innovation. Right where, you know, I think we traditionally think about the CTO or the C I o. Or the chief strategy officer, right? Sort of back to the now four dimensions. It's no longer three their ability to understand the business strategy, understand where their data is to support that and bring new, innovative ways to enable that, right? So it's absolutely critical. >>So what we think ultimately on justice on you is that a chief is a is an executive that's responsible for demonstrating that they're generating, return and share older capital. Exactly. Chief data officer. Therefore, be the individual that's demonstrating that they're generating return on the company state assets. When you take an asset approach, you could think about portfolio. But think about portfolio now. You're discriminating, which values most valuable. Which date is less valuable. If you agree, that suggest that there is a new class of tool that has to be bought in around this notion of port folio catalogs, minute master data management and give us a sense of that kind of new tool kit that's gonna be at the core of not just managing data inside an application like a D B. M s right, but something that's actually managing data assets, >>right? Yeah, I think it's It's the entire ecosystem of how we bring it together and how we prove we create. What I would say is, products and service is around data right so back to this construct of your managing the data supply chain, right? And so the responsibility of the CDO and how you measure and manage that too, you know, outcomes. Right and shareholder value is I've just created a product around this data, and we talked a lot about data monetization. Andi. I would say It's from a outside in perspective. Am I selling my data? Am I making money? Right? Well, and of course, that's one angle. But I would say there's also the inside out view where your monetizing to create value back to your organization, Right? So increase, you know, customer cells, right? Reduced turn right. All those things matter. And so time data products to those business outcomes. I think how you get to, you know, the return on investment shareholder value as it relates to this role in the products and service is that it's creating. >>All right, we're out of time. I want a oh, principal date architecture er and management management architecture. Sorry at Deloitte. Thank you very much for being on the Cube. >>Thank you. >>All right, so we'll be right back with another event or another segment from in Dramatic World 2018 here in Las Vegas.

>>live from Las Vegas. It's the Cube covering. Inform Attica World 2018 Not you. Buy. Inform Attica. >>Welcome back and run. Live here in Las Vegas at the Venetian Cubes coverage of In From Attica, World 2018. I'm John for the coast to queue with by host the next two days. Peter Barrister, head of research for Wicked Bonds with an Angle and the Cube. Our next two guests from Deloitte. Leo Cabrera, who's senior manager. And Rajeev Krishna, who's the specialist leader on the engineering side. CDO side guys, Thanks for joining us. Thank you, John. Thank you, Lloyd. The leader in a lot of areas, absolutely doing a lot of cutting edge stuff from c'mon, the Blockchain crypto side tax side also in the I t side. You guys have been in a great top customers here in data in from Atticus, leading the charge, looking good with the trends. But the cloud is here. Cloud scale ecosystems developing. How do you guys see in from Attica? Evolving. Going forward, Mostly great messaging. But they still got customers out there that have sold stuff. They want to bring in cloud native new data. What's what's the prospects were in from Attica. >>Foreign Formica, Saudi lawyer. We have this nuanced article data advantage and basically would consider the inflection point between what we call in just 3.0, industry for point. And it's basically now we want to get value out of the data and our data advantage strategy Focus on three pillars. They have engineering wilderness and enable men for as Informatica Isa great component and a great supporter in each of these areas. Right, So, through these study we offer video service is we offer data governance. Studio chief did offer sheet state all of it. Yeah, on. And we partner with Informatica to profile the data to understand what will be the points in which we can find value over the data on off course with the new enterprise catalog to tool to do better governance for our clients. >>I want to get under the hood. I see the catalog is getting a lot of great reviews. Some people think that this is the next big wave in data management, similar to what we've seen in other ways like well, what? Relational databases and every way that comes on cap this catalogue New kind of catalogs emerging. What's your view on this? Is it away? Visit like recycled catalog, is it? >>So get a cataloguing and data. Curation has bean going on for decades, right? But it's never gained traction on, and it's never given Klein's the value because it was so manual takes tons of effort to get it right, right. So what inform Attica is done, which is absolute breakthrough? This embed a i into their enterprise data can log into which kind of accelerates the whole data. Cataloging on basically gives them gives climbs. The value in terms of cutting down on there are packed in terms of how many people, how many data students you need to put together >>So they modernize that. Basically, they exactly all the manual stuff put automation around and put some software to find around at machine learning. Is that kind of the secret to their success? >>Absolutely. And Down Delight has been partnering with Informatica for quite a while. In fact, we are one of the few companies that have a seat on the product advice report s o what we see from the marketplace we cannot feed into in from Attica to say, Hey, here's what you need to build into your products, right? So we be doing that with their MDM solution. For example, we have what we have. Articles indium, elevate. So we build machine learning into their MP and platform and offer. That's a solution similarly, and for America has built the clear platform into their E. D. C s. Oh, that's absolutely driving Valley for clients. And we have a lot of clients that are already leveraging >>a lot of risk and platforms tools, right? I see a lot of data stuff out there that's like like a feature, not a platform, that these guys got a platform, right? So But now the world's changing the cloud. How do you guys take that data advantage program or go to a CDO and saying, Look, you gotta think differently around the data, protect you explain your view on that. >>For us, data is now the center of everything, right? So any business who want to remain competitive in the future needs to get into entire end twin management of the data, getting the value of off data and also understanding what is the data coming from and what is the day they're going to write off course is studded with all the regulations. And now GDP are coming on Friday. It is a big, you know, pusher for companies to realize that over. If >>you have a big party on Friday, a big party or is this what you Katie was a big part. Nothing happened. So you're never mean GDP. Are you guys have a lot going on there? I mean, this is the center of the conversation. >>Yeah. I mean, we do have a lot of clients who need to be compliant on GDP are on informatica is one of the tools that have already pre established the policies, so you can quickly determine where is the data that GPR is gonna be monitoring and looking for compliance on So rather than doing it from a scratch, right? So it takes a lot of it >>for Let's build on this a little bit. So when we talk about different as John was saying, different generations of data management technology, we're coming out of a generation was focused on extract, transform and load where every single application or every single new analytics application wasn't you identify the source is uniquely you build extractions unique. You'd build transformations, you build load scripts. Uniquely all that stuff was done uniquely. Now what we're saying is catalog allows us to think to move into a re use world. We've been reusing code fragments and gets and all these other things for years. In many respects, what we're talking about is the ability to bring a reuse orientation inside the enterprise to data. Have I got that right? You got it >>right. Two minutes. But the most important parties how to get value out of that, right? Because they did >>manage to get value out of using >>it more exactly And understanding, You know, how can improve your operations or you know, the bottom line, or reduce the risk that you have in your data, which is basically CPR is about, >>and one other Salin point is on very scene for America bringing values their completeness of mission. Right. So when you talk about gdp are you need different aspects, right? You need your data integration. Whether it be through cloud around. Promise you need get a governor on top of what you're cataloging, right? You need security data security. Right? So it all comes together in the hole in dramatic solutions. And I think that's very see value is supposed to like pocket pockets >>of guys. I gotta ask you a question. We've seen many ways. I think it's a big way this whole date away. But you guys, you have a term called industry four point. Oh, is what is industry but the Deloitte term. But what is that? What is industry four point? Oh, me. Can you define that? >>You wanna take that door? >>Yeah, sure. So we've seen, you know, revolutions in terms off technology and data on. We've seen people going from kind of the industrial revolution to the dark. Amira, What? Three terms in the street? Four point off where data is annoying, right? So data is an acid that needs to be completely leverage. Not just you look a reactively and retrospectively like How did we do? Right? And not even just for predictive analytics. We've seen that for a few years now. It's also about using data to drive. This is value, right? So are there new ways to monetize data? Are there new ways to leverage data and grow your business? Right? So that's what Industry four. No, no is about. >>That's awesome. Well, we got a lot of things going on here. Thanks for coming on. The Cube had a couple of questions. Got a lot of dishes going on. That preparing for the big opening of the Solutions Expo Hall. We're in the middle of all the action. You're out in the open, accused. What we do. We go out in the open final question, eyes around the CDO. Who should the chief date officer report to the C I O board? What >>do you >>guys seeing? Because the CDO now picking a strategic role if Davis the new oil. That data is the fourth wave of innovation that we've seen over centuries. What does that mean? For the chief Data Officer? More power? Why'd you report to the C i o? Why is the CEO reported the Chief Data officer? What's your take? >>Traditionally our clients in the past, where the mandate for the studios were more in the data governess, right? As of today, it is going more into enablement the data, right? So more than Analytics case. Still, service is so well seen clients going from the studio moving from under the CEO in tow, the CEO and into the CMO in some cases, more about marketing. However, at the lawyer, our proposition is that companies should do a big shift and funded the new data function as a totally new vertical next to H. R next to finance right, which have his own funding and the CDO being the leader of that function, reporting directly to the CEO or >>enablement side CEO handling much of three things engineering, governance and enablement correct. So the CEO will handle Engineering Dept. Which not just its engineering, full stack developers, possibly our cloud native developers. Governance could come into policy, normal stuff. We've seen enablement more tooling, democratization of things. >>Yeah, yeah, >>yeah. I mean, what we've been seeing right in the real world, Liss, you have, for example, finance transformation that CIA full heads, right? So there's a lot of traction at that point to kind of bring the company together. But then that soon fizzles out. Sometimes you have, ah, the CMO bringing on and marketing campaign and, you know, analytics initiative, right? There's a lot of traction. Then it fizzes out. So you need somebody at the chief data officer of the C suite level to maintain that traction that moment, Um, in order freed value. >>But it seems the key issue is someone who is focused on data as an asset generating competitive returns on data as an asset because and the reason why it could be the CEO, it could be somebody else. Historically, an i t. The asset was the hardware on the argument here is that the asset is no longer the hardware now the data data. So whoever whatever you call it, someone and a group who's focused on generating returns out of data, >>Yes. But it has to have that executive level and that new talent mortal that we're proposing right where everybody knows a little bit of data in a sense. >>And the other thing is that I mean, think about this role that's dedicated to creating value of data, right? So you can understand you know how you create value in one function. Take it to the other function and tell them Hey, here's have helped finance right, get more value and then use the same thing marketing our sales. So it's also the cross pollination of ideas across different functions in an organization. S O n roll like that is helpful in terms of >>just to say, the data could very well become the next shared service's organization. That's because you don't want your salespeople to be great with data and your marketing people to be lousy with data. >>Correct. You're totally right on that. That's what we're proposing, right? So data being another vertical in entire business, >>the Lloyd bring all the action here on the Q. With all the data they're sharing here to you. It's the Cuban John for With Peter Burst, more live cover. Stay with us. We're here in Las Vegas. Live for in from Attica, World 2018 day. One of two days of wall to wall comes here out in the open. Bringing you all the data is Thank you. Stay with us.

>> Welcome back to the Cuban Peterborough's chief research officer of Silicon Angle and general manager of Wicked Bond. We're as part of our continuing coverage of the arse a show. We have a great guest Z scaler amid sin. Ha! Welcome to the Cube. >> Thank you for having me here. It's a pleasure to be here. >> So, um, it what exactly does Z scaler? D'oh >> Z's killer is in the business of providing the entire security stack as a service for large enterprises. We sit in between enterprise users and the Internet and various destinations they want to goto, and we want to make sure that they have a fast, nimble Internet experience without compromising any security. >> So if I can interpret what that means, that means that as Maur companies are trying to serve their employees that Air Mobile or customers who aren't part of their corporate network they're moving more. That communication in the Cloud Z scale is making it possible for them to get the same quality of security on that communication in the cloud is he would get on premise. >> Absolutely. If you look at some of the big business transformations that are happening, work lords for enterprises are moving to the cloud. For example, enterprises are adopting Office 3 65 instead, off traditional exchange based email and on your desktop applications. They might be adopting sales force for CR M Net suite for finance box for storage. So as these workloads are moving to the cloud and employees are becoming more and more mobile, you know they might be at a coffee shop. They might be on an iPad. Um, and they might be anywhere in the world. That begs the basic security question. Where should that enterprise DMC the security stack be sitting back in the day? Enterprises had a hub and spokes model, right? They might have 50 branch offices across the world. A few mobile workers, all of them, came back over private networks to a central hub, and that hub was where racks and racks of security appliances were deployed. Maybe they started off with a firewall. Later on, they added a proxy. You are l filtering some d e l P er down the road. People realized that you need to inspect us to sell. So they added some SSL offload devices. Someone said, Hey, we need to do some sand boxing for behavioral analysis. People started adding sandboxes. And so, over time the D. M. Z got cluttered and complicated and fast forward to Today. Users have become mobile. Workloads have moved to the cloud. So if I'm sitting in a San Francisco office on my laptop trying to do my regular work, my email is in the cloud. My my court applications are sitting in the cloud. Why should I have to vpn back to my headquarters in Cincinnati over a private network, you know, incurring all the Leighton see and the delays just so that I can get inspected by some legacy appliances that are sitting in that DMC, right? So we looked at that network transformation on We started this journey at Ze scale or eight years ago, and we said, Look, if users are going to be mobile and workloads are going to be in the cloud, the entire security stack should be as close as possible to where the users are. In that example, I described, I'm sitting here. I'm going to Salesforce. We're probably going to the same data center in San Francisco. Shouldn't my entire security stag be available right where I am, um, and my administrators should have full visibility, full control from a single pane of glass. I get a fast, nimble user experience. The enterprise doesn't have to compromise in any security, and that's sort of the vision that we have executing towards. >> But it's not just for some of the newer applications or some of the newer were close. We're also seeing businesses acknowledge that the least secure member of their community has an impact on overall security. So the whole concept of even the legacy has to become increasingly a part of this broad story. So if anybody accesses anything from anywhere through the cloud that those other workloads increasing, they're gonna have to come under the scrutiny of a cloud based security option. >> Absolutely. I mean, that's a brilliant point, Peter. >> I >> think of >> it this way. Despite all those security appliances that have been deployed over time, they're still security breach is happening. And why is that? That is because users are the weakest link, right? If I'm a mobile work user, I'm sitting in a branch office. It's just painful for me to go back to those headquarter facilities just for additional scanning so two things happen either I have a painful user experience. What? I bypassed security, right? Um, and more and more of the attacks that we see leverage the user as the weakest link. I send you a phishing email. It looks like it came from HR. It has a excel sheet attached to it to update some information. But, you know, inside is lurking a macro, right? You open it. It is from a squatter domain that looks very similar to the company you work for. You click on it and your machine is infected. And then that leads to further malware being downloaded, data being expatriated out. So the Z scaler solution is very, very simple. Conceptually, we want to sit between users and the destinations they goto all across the world. And we built this network of 100 data centers. Why? Because you cannot travel faster than the speed of light. So if you're in San Francisco, you better go through our San Francisco facility. All your policies will show up here. All the latest and greatest security protections will be available. We serve 5000 large enterprises. So if we discover a new security threat because of an employee from, let's say, a General Electric. Then someone from United Airlines automatically gets protection simply because the cloud is live all the time. You're not waiting for your security boxes to get, you know, the weekly patch updates for new malware indicators and so on. Right, So, um, you get your stack right where you are. It's always up to date. User experience is not compromised. Your security administrators get a global view off things. And one >> of the >> things that that I that we haven't talked about here it is the dramatic cost savings that this sort of network transformation brings for enterprises. To put that in perspective, let's say you're a Fortune 100 organization with 100,000 employees worldwide in that, huh? Been spoke model. You are forcing all those workloads to come toe a few choke points, right? That is coming over. Very expensive. NPLs circuits private circuits from service providers. You're double trombone in traffic, back and forth. You know, you and I are in a branch. We might be on. Ah, Skype session. Ah, Google Hangout session. All our traffic goes to H Q. Goes to the cloud comeback comes back to h. Q comes back to you, there's this is too much back and forth, and you're paying for those expensive circuits and getting a poor user experience. Wouldn't it be great if you and I could go straight to the Internet? And that can only be enabled if we can provide that pervasive security stack wherever you are? And for that, we built this network of 100 data centers worldwide. Always live, always up to date you. You get routed to the closest the scaler facility. All your policy show up. They're automatically and you get the latest and greatest protection. >> So it seems as though you end up with three basic benefits. One is you get the cost benefit of being able to, uh, have being able to leverage a broader network of talent, skills and resources You reduce. Your risk is not the least of which is that the cost and the challenges configuring a whole bunch of appliances has not gotten any easier over the last. No, it hasn't cheaters. And so not only do you have user error, but you also Administrator Erin, absolutely benign, but nonetheless it's there, and then finally and this is what I want to talk about. Increasingly, the clot is acknowledged as the way that companies are going to improve their portfolio through digital assets. Absolutely. Which means new opportunities, new competition, new ways of improving customer experience. But security has become the function of no within a lot of organizations. Absolutely. So How does how does AE scaler facilitate the introduction of new business capabilities that can attack these opportunities in a much more timely way by reducing doesn't reduce some of those some of those traditional security constraints. >> Absolutely right, and we call it the Department of No right. We've talked to most people in the industry. They view their I t folks there, security forces, the department of Know Why? Because there's this big push from users to adopt newer, nimble, faster cloud based ah solutions that that improved productivity. But often I t comes in the way. No, If you look at what Izzy's killer is doing, it's trying to transform the adoption of these Cloud service. Is that do improve business productivity? In fact, there is no debate now because there are many, many industries that ever doubt adopted a cloud first strategy. Well, that means is, as they think of the network and their security, they want to make sure that cloud is front and center. Words E scaler does is it enables that cloud for a strategy without any security compromise. I'll give you some specific examples. Eight out of 10 c I ose that we talk to our thinking about office 3 65 or they have already deployed it right. One of the first challenge is that happens when you try to adopt office. 3 65 is that your legacy network and security infrastructure starts to come crumble. Very simple things happen. You have your laptop. Suddenly, that laptop has many, many persistent SSL connections to the clothes. Because exchange is moved to the cloudy directory, service is are moving to the cloud. If you have a small branch office with 2000 users, each of them having 30 40 persistent connections to the cloud will your edge firewall chokes. Why? Because it cannot maintain so many active ports at the same time, we talked about the double trombone ing of traffic back and forth. If you try to not go direct to the Internet but force everyone to go through a couple of hubs. So you pay for all the excessive band with your traditional network infrastructure, and your security infrastructure might need a forklift upgrades. So a cloud transformation project quickly becomes a network in a security transformation project. And this is where you nosy scaler helps tremendously because we were born and bred in the cloud. Many of these traditional limitations that you have with appliance based security or networking, you know, in the traditional sense don't exist for the scaler, right? We can enable your branch officers to go directly to the cloud. In fact, we've started doing some very clever things. For example, we peer with Microsoft in about 20 sites worldwide. So what that means is, when you come to the scaler for security, there's a very high likelihood that Microsoft has a presence in the same data center. We might be one or two or three millisecond hops away because we're in the same equinox facility in New York or San Jose. And so not only are you getting your full security stack where you are, you're getting the superfast peered connections to the end Cloud service is that you want to goto. You don't have to work. Worry about you know your edge Firewalls not keeping up. You don't have to worry about a massive 30 40% increase in back hole costs because you were now shipping all this extra traffic to those couple of hubs. And more importantly, you know, you've adopted these transformative technologies on your users don't have to complain about how slow they are because you know, most of the millennials hitting the workforce. I used to a very fast, nimble experience on their mobile phones with consumer APS. And then they come into the enterprise and they quickly realize that, well, this is all cumbersome and old and legacy stuff >> in me s. So let's talk a little bit about Let's talk a bit about this notion of security being everywhere and increasingly is removed to a digital business or digital orientation. With digital assets being the basis for the value proposition, which is certainly happening on a broad scale right now, it means it's security going back to the idea of security being department. No security has to move from an orientation of limiting access to appropriately sharing. Security becomes the basis for defining the digital brand. So talk to us a little bit about how the how you look out, how you see the world, that you think security's gonna be playing in ultimately defining this notion of digital brand digital perimeters from a not a iittie standpoint. But from a business value standpoint, >> absolutely. I would love to talk about that. So Izzy's killer Our cloud today sees about 30,000,000,000 transactions a day from about 5000 enterprises. So we have a very, very good pulse on what is happening in large enterprises, from from a cloud at perspective or just what users are doing on the Internet. So here are some of the things that we see. Number one. We see that about 50 60% of the threats are coming inside SSL, so it's very important to inspect SSL. The second thing that we observe is without visibility. It is very different, very difficult for your security guys to come up with a Chris policy, right? If you cannot see what is happening inside an SSL connection, how are you going to have a date? A leakage policy, right? Maybe your policy is no P I information should leak out. No source code should leak out. How can you make sure that an engineer is not dropping something in this folder, which is sinking to Google Drive or drop box in an in an SSL tano, Right. How do you prioritize mission Critical business applications like office 3 65 over streaming media, Right. So for step two, crafting good policy is 100% real time visibility. And that's what happens when you adopt the Siskel a network. You can see what any user is doing anywhere in the world within seconds. And once you have that kind of visibility, you can start formulating policies, both security and otherwise that strike a good balance between business productivity that you want to achieve without compromising security. >> That's the policy's been 10 more net. You can also end that decisions. >> Yes, right. So, for example, you can you can have a more relaxed social media policy, right? You can say Well, you know, everyone is allowed access, but they can. Maybe streaming media is restricted to one hour a day. You know, after hours, or you can say, I want to adopt um, storage applications in the clothes here are some sanctioned APS These other raps were not going to allow right. You can do policies by users, by locations by departments, right? And once you have the visibility, you can. You can be very, very precise and say, Well, boxes, my sanction story, Jap other APS are not allowed right and hear other things that a particular group of users can do on box. Or they cannot do because we were seeing every transaction between the user on going to the destination and as a result, begin, you know, we can enable the enterprise administrator to come up with very, very specific policies that are tailored for that. >> You said something really interesting. I'm gonna ask you one more question, but I'm gonna make a common here. And that common is that the power of digital technology is that it can be configured and copied and changed, and it's very mutable. It's very plastic, but at the end of the day it has to be precise, and I've never heard anybody talk about the idea of precise and security, and I think it's a very, very powerful concept. But what are what's What's the scale are talking about in our say this year. >> Well, we're going to talk about a bunch of very interesting things. First, we'll talk about the scale of private access. This is a new offering on the scale of platform. We believe that VP ends have become irrelevant because of all the discussions we just had, um, Enterprises are treating their Internet as though it was the Internet, right? You know, sort of a zero trust model. They're moving the crown jewel applications to either private cloud offerings are, you know, sort of restricting that in a very micro segmented way. And the question is, how do you access those applications? Right? And the sea skill immortal is very straightforward. You have a pervasive cloud users authenticate to the cloud and based on policies, we can allow them to go to the Internet to sites that have been sanctioned and allowed. We make sure nothing good is leaking out. Nothing bad is coming in, and that same cloud model can be leveraged for private access to crown jewel applications that traditionally would have required a full blown vpn right. And the difference between a VPN and the skill of private access is VP ends basically give you full network access keys to the kingdom, right? Whether it's a contractor with, it's an employee just so that you could access, you know, Internet application. You allow full network access, and we're just gonna getting rid of that whole notion. That's one thing we're gonna stroke ISS lots of cloud white analytics, As I mentioned, you know, we process 30,000,000,000 transactions a day. To put that in perspective, Salesforce reports about four and 1 30,000,000,000 4 1/2 to 5,000,000,000 transactions. They're about three and 1/2 1,000,000,000 Google searches done daily, right? So it is truly a tin Internet scale. We're blocking over 100,000,000 threats every day for, ah, for all our enterprise user. So we have a very good pulse on you know what's what's an average enterprise user doing? And you're going to see some interesting cloud? Wait, Analytics. Just where we talk about a one of the top prevalent Claude APs, what are the top threats? You know, by vertical buy by geography, ese? And then, you know, we as a platform has emerged. We started off as a as a sort of a proxy in the cloud, and we've added sand boxing capabilities. Firewall capabilities, you know, in our overall vision, as I said, is to be that entire security stack that sits in your inbound and outbound gateway in that DMC as a pure service. So everything from firewall at layer three to a proxy at Layer seven, everything from inline navy scanning right to full sand. Boxing everything from DLP to cloud application control. Right? And all of that is possible because, you know, we have this very scalable architecture that allows you to to do sort of single scan multiple action right in that appliance model that I describe. What ends up happening is that you have many bumps in the wire. One of the examples we use is if you wanted to build a utility company, you don't start off with small portable generators and stack them in a warehouse, right? That's inefficient. It requires individual maintenance. It doesn't scale properly. Imagine if you build a turbine and ah, and then started your utility company. You can scale better. You can do things that traditional appliance vendors cannot think about. So we build this scalable, elastic security platform, and on that platform it's very easy for us to add. You know, here's a firewall. Here's a sandbox. And what does it mean for end users? You know, you don't need to deploy new boxes. You just go and say, I want to add sand boxing capabilities or I want to add private access or I want to add DLP. And it is as simple as enabling askew, which is what a cloud service offering should be. >> Right. So we're >> hardly know software. >> So we're talking about we're talking about lower cost, less likelihood of human error, which improves the quality, security, greater plasticity and ultimately, better experience, especially for your non employees. Absolutely. All right, so we are closing up this particular moment I want Thank you very much for coming down to our Pallotta studio is part of our coverage on Peter Boris. And we've been talking to the scanner amidst, huh? Thank you very much. And back to Dio Cube.

>> Live from New York City, it's buck you. Here is your host, Jeff Frick. >> Hey, welcome back. I'm Jeff. Rick. We're here at the Cubes. Fifth birthday party. A big date in Icy in Manhattan is part of the big Date. A week. It's got Stratos cough, a dupe world. And, of course, big Aidan. I see. So now having our party, which is always good to have, and I'm joined department X gas. Kerry McFadden from Parodi Research. Carrie. Welcome. Well, thank you very much. So last last we saw he was actually a big data and twenty thirteen, So it's lots changing the year. >> Absolutely, Absolutely. I think the whole hoodoo thing is really taken off. And the thing that interests me the most about show or or the exhibitors at the show is that Bye. You could get a lot of data into Duke, but how do you get it out? How do you make it useful? What do you do with it when you get it out? You know, I said on structure data is structured. Date. Is that a combination? Is it ski Melis? >> All the above all the above, >> right? Exactly. So I think really, that's been on and actually have been Jeff to all the shows, right? Since the beginning, when it was just a new world. Okay, Cube started back. And I think two thousand ten two thousand filling our fifth birthday. Right? So at least at least at least twenty ten. So since then, you've seen, you know, progression off vendors coming in to provide services that actually enable Duke to do more than it does started is kind of a batch oriented type of solution that now, because of these other value added solutions can to really or near real time processing, you can take the data out of it a lot more easily. You can use do basically as a as a repository, right on DH. And a lot of the solutions out there are are evolving to the point where you can, uh, you could basically make a sense of the information, and I think that's a really important rights. Dated information information inside, right? That's where we want to go with this thing. Business decisions made in real time. Which way? Define as in time to do something about it. Right? Right. Yes. Some of the players, I mean, you've got the map. Our guys. You've got the act. Aeon folks that just bought pervasive software. So they've got the Predictive Analytics piece sort of covered. Obviously. That's stone breakers. Old company, you know, a variant of ing gris, right? You've got. Obviously, IBM is a player in this space. With their blue mix and their cloud capabilities and all of their information management pieces, every major vendor is got a piece of is part of the action, if you will. Trying to build something on top of a dupe to make it more useful and make it more valuable. Yeah, the floor was filled with little companies, big companies, and everyone is certainly jumping in. So let me get your prospectus that you've been coming for a lot of years on this thing. Where are we on the journey? How? How? You know, I think we're past the P E O C stage, right? People are getting stuff into production deployments, but it's still early days. You know, the Giants are playing tonight. Go Giants, are we? First inning, third inning, seventh inning. Where are we? I think we're probably in the second or third any second. I think we got a ways to go. And what's the next big hurdle to get us to the next inning. I think one of the problems is this storage issue, right? So you've got this issue of being able to scale out theoretically, exponentially, right? The nice thing about do piss If you need Teo, if you need more space, you just add No J had storage and whatnot, But what happens when you get too much information? You're into the pedal bike, multiple PETA right range now, and most of that data, you know you're not going to access. You may access only two percent of it overtime. I think they're a lot of figures around that. But actually, a wicked bon article that I read recently is very interesting, one called Flake Flake or what they were doing. Flake. I want to make sure he gets a slave by a herd where he said it to me off camera, right? It's a f L a P. It's a combination of flash and tape on DH. Basically, there's a great article on the Wicked Bond site by Wicked Bonds CTO, David's lawyer Okay, and his premises that at some point, relatively soon a cz thie as data grows exponentially into the multiple petabytes ranges and maybe even beyond The thing is gonna get squeezed is the traditional HDD or hardening is spinning disc, right? So tape has become much more, uh, much more resilient. Uh, tape last has a meat time failure of about twenty six or thirty years versus disc, which is about five. And obviously flash is much, much faster, right? Right in some cases don't get into all the nuances of almost feet feet, but flavor going to squeeze out disks and the men think so. And what that'll offer customers is a is a much lower TCO from managing those huge petabytes scale environments and also accessing it at a relatively quick speed. So I think that's that's a piece. It's interesting that the other part that's very interesting to me, Mr Cognitive Computing face. So I was at the no SQL event last week last month in in San Jose, and with that they had a cognitive computing component on DH. I think thie idea of trying to get machines to think more like people building neuro morphing chips to two. It's kind of mimic the way synapses or electricity, electricity in the brain, you know, works how neurons fire and so forth is very interesting. And I think once you Khun Get Dupe is the repository. You've got the data there. But how do you make use of it? And I think that's the challenge. That's going to be, well, paramount the next few years. Exciting days ahead. Well, Gary, thanks for taking a few minutes. We're at the fifth birthday party at the Cube. Were at Big Data and nice jefe. Rick, we're on the ground. Thanks for watching.

>> A cube at DMC World twenty fourteen is brought to you by D. M. C. Redefine, see innovating the world's first converged infrastructure solution for private cloud computing brocade. Say goodbye to the status quo and hello to Brocade. >> Welcome back to the Cube. This silken angle TVs live wall to wall Coverage of DMC World twenty fourteen here in the Sands Convention Center in Las Vegas. We've got three days to stage is over eighty guests. Lots of practitioners, execs, business leaders got a special segment. I'm bringing you today, bringing onto two thirds of the geek whispers, podcasts, Those in the story for the virtual ization and Claude Communities. No art is to guess. Well, let me introduce it's John Troyer, who's making his debut as the founder of tech reckoning. >> Thanks for having me. >> And we've got Amy Lewis influence marketing from Cisco. Name is your first time on the Cube, so, you know, welcome to the program. >> Thank you for having me on. >> All right, so So, guys, you know, we've been to a lot of conferences way we've hung out with, You know, the various influencers bloggers. It's changed a lot. This is my twelfth year coming M. C World. If you had told me twelve years ago some of things I'd be doing at this show, I wouldn't have believed you. I mean, I was one of the guys in a polo that only got out of out of the office once a year to give a presentation and, you know, talks in people about some cool tak um, and you know, social media is one of those things that, you know turn my career. Eleven. So you know what? Let's have a conversation about what's going on in the industry with kind of community influences and everything. John, maybe you could start us often. You know, Maybe if it leads in tow your new gigs? >> Sure, sure, on one on one, and things have changed. On the other hand, the same dynamics are playing out. Buying the buying cycle has changed. The buying process has changed. Customers are looking much more to their peers and not to traditional media analysts. Marketing folks, they can't find more ads. You can't send out more E mail. So what do you do? You need to get part of the conversation. We've been saying that for five or ten years, that's actually happened. Now the folks that were early on into the blogging space have turned themselves into communicators as well as technologists. We've seen, you know, their careers have have gone and all sorts of interesting places, for instance, you. But I think now that even we could talk about his art Is blogging dead? But I think now we're seeing it. We're seeing social media not as a trade or a practice practice, but simply a tool set that we all use. So that's all I'm saying is it's a It's more of a it spread throughout our organization. Not so much in one tiny niche, right? >> Yeah, Jonah, I love that point. I I I've been preaching for a bunch of years that this is an important skill, something you have to have their wonderful tools. But you've been doing community for a lot longer than Social Media has been around, and, you know, so it's peace, Amy, your influence marketing. What would please way out on this? >> Yeah, I chose the title, actually myself on purpose. To say it's not just social media, think social Media is very important, but like John was saying that to me is a set of tools. They're important platforms or important communications channels, but influencers the people who between the term citizen analysts they are unpaid analyst. But people are very passionate about technology, and they want to write on block and share, really engage their community. That's an important group of people. It's a really a buying center, and we have to find new ways to address them. So community is more important than >> ever. Citizen analysts thought, Let's focus that >> some of the >> people you know, I say some people goto event and they get it, get it, get wined and dined and they get to, you know, write about a bunch of stuff I'm like, you know you're better than journalists, you know, you'll You know you do some really good stuff and sometimes it's a little bit too friendly to the people that are doing it. So you know where do you see the role of kind of the press? You know, the analyst and the influencer? >> It's a great question I've been checking. We need to abstract the or chart. It is. It is a complicated question, but I think the traditional presses really trained and rightfully so in giving us that neutrality. So that is still a very important role. I think the analysts are paid Tio Tio, analyze particular sets, etcetera. They have nation specialty. I think the citizen analyst is interesting because they are what you don't know about the neutrality. But you do know that there are people who roll up their sleeves and really touched the technology. So that becomes a very interesting set because they really care about the technology Kazakh but could become their problem if they don't, you know, raise our voice and sort of engaged with technology and let the community know what, what the new trends are, what they need, what business needs. Our etcetera gives us a really applied version, the PR in the e R outside. >> Don't you want to comment on matter? >> I mean, these are the folks that they lose their jobs if they picked the wrong technology. So they have much more. Their discussions have it. They have more skin in the game. >> Aye, that's right. If you've got the practitioner, you know whether it be the end user sometime times it's the you know channel guy that they do that that's good, You know? What about the people inside the corporations that are also using these? >> I'm super bullish about the use of employees as advocates and evangelists in our community, both for technical education. And for the commercial part of our conversation in the enterprise space, we don't sell solutions with Russia. Your hair's a pressure and very nice calm. Give me a call. We sell it with relationships with people. I've been working on the social media since it existed, I suppose. And what we've seen over and over again is the social channels are really great for getting the word out. But without that personal component, it's like just handing out brochures. So you need your employees out there. You need your employees talking to folks. You need your employees without their representing your brand, just like they would have an event. I've seen that at something. On one hand, it's something that's so trivial that we all agree it's true. On the other hand, I don't. I think a lot of people are just realizing that now. >> So, John, you know, there's some some big companies, you know, creative certification programs to do some of this. There's some companies that just, you know, sign everybody up and, you know, it could be kind of an echo chamber or things like that. You know what? What do you see in these days? To kind of help out. You know the community >> well. There's a lot of software and a lot of programmatic things you could do. Those may be useful in terms of organizing you. It comes down to the people in the culture of the company and help much. You trust your people to go out. I think the best thing we can do is sit up platform for folks to be able to, to communicate. I think that's actually what Amy does really well at Cisco. >> X. It's, um I always talk about influence marketing as being people, platforms in content. And so I agree. I think that we sorted out some of the platform issues as we've learned about social media and grew up with it. I think that we are still working out the people in the content side and what's appropriate, how we can join together and do that and how we can creates a mute platforms may be using the tools of social tio to drive the conversation forward. >> All right. So, I mean, I got one for you. You know, how do we balance the kind of creation of information and kind of the community and fund? I mean, you do a lot of fun event you've got, you know, awful club this week. You've got, you know, bacon, stack and B bacon and bacon. I e I mean, I can't keep track of you, deport vacants and everything. And, you know, there'd be some executives here that would be like that, That social stuff. And they're playing games and things like that. So how do we balance kind of attic business value and greeting, you know, value to the community. And, you know, having fun in building community. >> No, it's a great question. A couple of years ago, I got a text in the middle of the night that said, Please explain to me how the bacon is a marketing play. Please explain this and you know, I need a power point slide. So if you've never had to explain, be bacon on the power points, I for that challenge out to everyone. But I think in the last couple of years people started to see it more and more as we're, uh, we're similar to the sales role, and that's how we've sort of changed the language. So I perform a sales like function, except I don't carry a quota. So it is about building the relationship like John was saying, and it is about balancing fun with your intent. So I think that if you create a fun environment, if you create an openness and willingness to listen, then the good things will follow. So you form the relationships of people. You open up their ability to create content with you because they don't feel under attack. They're ready to share. And again, it's it's kind of a magical formula. Be nice and create opportunity. >> Yeah, so >> I think we'll part of it's a generational ship. I think part of it a generational shift and part of it is a temperamental she So tradition again, going back to sales traditional enterprise sales. You might go and play golf with somebody, cause that's what you enjoy doing for our kind of geeks. Our golf is eating bacon and talking about the duplication strategies, right? That's where we're having the most fun. So it's It's just it's same sort of thing. Just a shift in generations. >> Yeah, I wonder if you know what, what role this community help in kind of careers. You know, I think you know, we're talking so much of these shows about, you know, if your storage admin. If you're networking admin and you know you're down there, you know, configuring Luns or setting up the land, you know, we're going to have a job in a couple of years because automation is gonna change. You know, how much does the community help in kind of those career paths and education? >> So, John, I think we should interview stew on this one. Should we have the geek whispers takeover. I think this is your great example. You've talked about you, you were on a career path and we hear this a lot, and when you raise your hand to volunteer, we sort of jokingly call the spokes uniforms. You both really enjoy the technology and like to communicate about it. When you raise your hand and make yourself known to the community, to your employers, to the world at large, it gives you different opportunities. And I think I don't think you go into technology really without wanting to have an evolving, exciting career. So I think that he's becoming proficient in these tools. Joining your community is an opportunity to learn from your peers to get back to your peers and to raise her profile and open yourself up to the possibility of a new opportunity or a new idea or different engagement. A new way to learn >> In today's business environment, communication is a key part of whatever you do, even if you're the guy sitting there configuring the lungs, because if you're not communicating with your teams and the application teams and the storage of network virtualization team, you're not going to succeed so I think that's an important part of it, right? Being a communicator, absolutely critical and art. Barney. >> All right, so either one of you feel free to answer, but I think back to my early days, you know, two thousand eight, I was so excited when I got invited to a couple of conferences. A blogger, you could kind of get a pass, and I would, You know, ten might take my own vacation time and usually spend that on expenses because my employer at the time didn't get it. It was this innovation conference in, like, in a New York City with four hundred people, and it was like, kind of amazing. I've seen people go to B m world on their own dime where they can get a pass. I mean, you know, it's great to see when you when you got the passion. So I guess the question I wanted to ask is, you know, with companies today, who should they be inviting? How do they do it? You know? You know. Is it you know, the blogger Or is it the, you know, empty Alexis co expert? You know, bm where be expert, you know, What? How's that? How's that changing? Or is it >> changing? Well, I think what you've seen happen over the years is something that was a little more unstructured, which was a kind of blogger relations program. Working with both customers partners, employees in your ecosystem has turned into something a little more formal. We created the V Expert program in two thousand nine to formalize what we were already doing. It's an analogy to the endless relations, press relations, investor relations, sorts of programs. So I mean, it's it's it's a little more buttoned up. It's a little more of a membership thing, but we I know both of DMC and BM where and it Cisco, Francisco champions to try to embrace all the folks that are out there blogging. I think you know, if you're a market or you need to make sure that you're keep your eyes open and you don't just talk to the people that you've gathered in your living room, Bye. You know, a lot of it's pretty easy if you're enthusiastic about technology, if you're engaged with the technology, if you put some effort into it, it's actually pretty easy to get involved with one of these programs there, there, there and there, there, fourth of people in them right there. They're not there to say the glory of the emcee and glory of Cisco and glory of'em, where they're there to help you with your career. They're there to give you tools to give you networking and, you know, hopefully get you to places like this. So I encourage everybody that that's interested in starting, you know, go ahead and get started. It's easier than you think to get involved. >> I agree with that, and I think that way want to be almost like an airline program that you'd actually want to participate. And it's sort of my job like this is a customer service activity, and I often talk about if you talk about the large pool of influencers. Maybe they haven't identified yet. Or maybe they prefer to stay independent. Or maybe they do have interest in a lot of different technologies. Me for them to engage in one of these programs, that stolen, important set of people that you have to deal with the mark, you know, and again set up these blogger days have longer briefings. But like John was saying, When you have the group of people that you name and give it a program name, this is a little bit of inside baseball if we don't talk about giving program a name and funding can follow. So if you're working in a corporate marketing environment, it's really important to explain to people that marketing structure behind what you're doing and when you treat them as a class, it gives you some advantage is you can scale out a little easier. You can provide more assets to those individuals, and it frees you up to Dio. What I love to do, which is is to really engage with those individuals and create content with them. So, >> yeah, so how is engagement these days? You know, I think back, you know, that you know, ten years ago, you talk. You know, one percent of the community would, you know, be doing almost all the contribution. Ten percent might be a little active and everybody else's lurker. You know, when we founded Wicked Bond Day, Volonte actually has on his business card that he's a one percenter which goes back to you know it. It's, you know, the one percent that causes all the trouble, the one percent that causes all all of the commotion. So, you know, with this wave, I mean, we were founded off of, you know, economics in crowd sourcing and everything else, and the Cube is all about, you know, sharing information. We put it all out there. We want everybody to contribute and, you know, give that feedback. You know, How are we along now? You know that that journey to get more people involved. >> I think the opportunity is there more than ever. I think you're right. I mean, there's always gonna be a percentage of people who want to raise her hand, the class that want to give up their PTO to go to a conference that that had this other life they just can't help themselves. And so in some ways it's finding the most impassioned and giving them opportunities. But I think that with the platforms and the scale, there is a greater opportunity for people. They don't want to start their own block. For instance, one of the things we do it Cisco champions is allowed people to guess, block or allow them to come post a podcast. So I think there are more more ways to and there, you know, that's one example. There's lots of other groups that provide people again a little bit a dose of it so they might not want to run a full media company on their own. They don't wanna build Q, but they want to participate. And I think that we have so many more opportunities for them to do that that we're seeing group. >> We're seeing platform ships over the years. I think we as technologists human beings have a tendency to forget their past relatively quickly, as people have moved from the MySpace world to the Facebook Twitter world. I think actually, we're headed for I don't call it I don't want to call it post Facebook, but it certainly is. A multi platform world made >> it just like >> it's a multi device world. We're not opposed PC world in that. I think you're seeing the rise of more specialized communities. They come back again from from our from our origins back ten or twenty years ago. I think we're seeing that people want more deeper engagement along the company. A lot of the report building and kind of conversation. And hey, how are you? Goes on on Twitter. But I think people are really looking for a place where they can have a better conversation, more interaction, more lasting death that might not be on their own. Blogger in their own kind of indie web sort of style, roll your own block. But there are more and more platforms that people are making available for this kind of connection again. What was once niche eventually permeates the whole >> yes. So, you know, the concern I have is it's tough because it is so dispersed right now, you know? You know, I love Twitter, you know? Hi, I'm stew, you know, on Twitter. And I know you guys are big on it, too. And I don't love the multi platform discussion. You know, I always love when you dropped that kind information on the community. But, you know, how >> do we How do we get that >> depth? It's one of the things I always worry about is, you know, people will read the headline and, you know, just react at it and, you know, they might even share it a bunch, but they haven't read it. Uh, so how do we get that deeper engagement? Deeper understanding. I mean, you know, I always say, you know, the I'm too busy is a poor excuse because, you know, you know Michelangelo and I'd sign that many hours in the day way we did and, you know, sure they didn't have their phone buzzing all over >> the place. >> I actually think we should do less. Not more. I think I think too much information, too many channels, too many corporate channels, too many personal channels, too much bad content. The world does not need more crappy content. So whether you're a individual, blogger or marketer, I'd say just turn the dial back a little bit. Did work on better, longer pieces that add more? I think that's the only way that we can shift the conversation. >> Yeah, long for love it. Oh, no, absolutely. I still read so >> well. It's a curatorial function as well, that we have to be responsible. And that's yet one more way people can participate. We see people rise and in the community because they're really great curator Sze, because they syndicate the content in ways are interesting to others because time is of a value so that becomes a real asset. And the skill is Well, >> yeah, great. Great point. Could you know, so many times I'm like I really like to do a thousand word post on this, but, you know, sometimes all I'll come out of this show and take, you know, I did a year ago. I did it. I didn't article on the federation. You know, the ZPM were pivotal and coming out of the show, I've got a lot of new data, and I could really quickly take some photos. I've done. Takes some of the notes. I take some of the tweets and, you know, put together an order. Won't take me as long. I mean, I'll probably do it on the plane ride home. So what I wanna ask next is, you know, you guys see a lot of things out there. What coolest thing you're seeing either at a at a conference or event or you know what? What? What's catching, right? What? What's interesting? Done. >> There's a whole new side out there called Tech, right? I don't know what's cool out there again. I'm seeing multi channel multi, a lot of experiments. There's some cool stuff going on with the indie web. There's I mean, everything is mobile. I don't know. There's just a lot of places. It >> sounds like you Let's give the plug. Integrity has finally cool things and, you know, solid. But something >> like that tech reckoning is a site that's gonna bring. It's an independent site. It's not associate with any vendor. It's going to bring some of the community and enterprise community together to talk about some of these things about Where is it going as a whole? Where's technology going, where our career is going to try to help us get to whatever this you know, it is a service. Third platform, Whatever you wanna call it, where the heck were going? It looks pretty interesting, and it looks like it isn't gonna be quite the same thing. So we're trying to bring together a set of people and just tackle some of those problem and also work together and collaborate. It's so much easier with open source with cloud. With all the tools we have available, it's so cheap and easy to build new pieces of technology, not just a type of each other words online, but to actually build stuff that I'm very excited about. The power taking going far. This from open source, right? Taking the power of people to come together and build cool new stuff. That's what I would like to. >> Still, I'm just angry that you scooped Matt and I on getting to interview John first about >> tech recognition. So, Amy, you you do some cool things that some of events we talk about, the waffle bacon, you What have you seen out there that that's kind of interesting? Or, you know, how do you find some of the cool new ideas? >> Yeah, I think you always I'm working with a really talented events team right now. And I think one of the things I've seen them sort of transform is that social is not other, you know? And we're seeing the social and this concept of community permeate and really think about our audience to really engage that core base, those those tech enthusiasts, and to see what you can do to in engage them. So I'm saying it in real life and in these community platforms. So I think that's been one of the other great trends is watching people band together and various kinds of consortiums. I won't name names, but there's a few folks outlook community. We're seeing a lot of this happen where they're sort of grouping together, and they're saying if they pull their resource is what happens, they might be able to gather enough money to go to a conference or to fund a buddy or to get a hotel room that they've got extra spaces somebody can crash. So I'm saying it's very cool, sort of stitching together opportunity and working together to learn more. So again, the combination of the platforms, using the technology and then in real life connection. >> All right, so I've been asking all the questions here. So before we wrap up, you know, Amy, anything you want, Johnny, when as me, John same, we throw it open. When Whenever >> you first signed up for your Twitter account, did you think it would lead you here because you have the best Twitter >> account? No, actually, a friend of mine for me and Steve Todd, who was blogging before I was, and he said, You know, when there's trepidation when you're gonna get published and you never know where it leads. And we were talking about this after he and I were on the stage at Radio City Music Hall right after Bill Clinton had been on because they brought the bloggers down when we were there. And it's like, Come on, you know, I'm, you know, I'm an engineer by training, you know, I've done. You know, I've done some sales. I've done engineering. I've done you no operations. Technologist is hard. So you know, some of the places the people I've met. I mean, if you just reach out to people, it still, even though there's so many people on Twitter, you know, the people that right and our authors and bloggers, If you comment or you reach out to them, a lot of them reach back. I mean, you know, I still amazed at some of the people I've met get to rub elbows with. No, just just have had a blast with him. So >> get another one. So do you think unicorns can be trained? Do you think people have to be born with the skill set, Or do you think you can be a uniformed rancher? >> No, I think I think I think they could be trained. You know, it's absolutely it's Ah, it's a tough skill set. I mean, you know, doing video is not easy. First couple of times you do it. It's different there's there's all these muscles. You know, Writing is one of those things that you know. I thought I was an okay writer, but hadn't done a lot of it. They're things you do. So try it out. And that thing I tell you, you got to stick with it for a while. I thought Twitter was pretty stupid. First Go on it. But, you know, I stuck on it for another six months and have some fun with it. No, here we are six years later and you know it is a lot and, you know, blocking of writing and blogging and everything else you know all over. I >> like the muscle memory idea. >> It's hard. You were on camera, have remember not to scratch my face. Strange. He'll set, I ask. I actually, I'm seeing a lot of interest in short form video. I know the kids are all doing it. I mean, obviously, we're doing it here. You do it. It's part of your practice. But in talking with people about our new activities, it's just so easy to take a chair. I think that's actually, even though it's been coming up for years, I think where I think that's an interesting thing >> on all right now, I'll give one of those inside tips videos. Great. Some people don't like to watch video. Yeah, broadcaster great. Some people don't like to listen to him, you know, writing's great. Some people won't read. So you know what? One of the early lessons I had is when I was, you know, being a, you know, active member on standard evangelizing of solution. I did it everywhere it you know that give presentations that shows you put it up on slide chair. You do you two videos, you blogged about it. You talk to everybody, you bet that you can everywhere. And you know, it just permeates out there. It could be a bunch of works and then there's tools that are out there. >> They're all connected events, right? I've discovered recently, and I can't believe I just realized this. But it was with the conversation with Amy on our Christmas broadcast that even though I've been part of an online group for years, I'm part of digital marketing for BM. Where for years, Uh, actually, most of my work. Half of my work is off line having my workers meeting people in person, getting to meet them and connecting that online and offline. And the synergy there is just is immense. >> Yeah, absolutely. I mean, other than the keynotes, my phone stays in my pocket for the most time. Unless I'm going between events. It's the in real life and nearly getting to know things. I was joking, You know, Twitter went away. Tomorrow might be a little sad, but I can connect the most. All those people, we got him on LinkedIn, Facebook and, you know, email. I still use something. Don't taking their holds. Absolutely. So you know, to wrap. I guess if you want to, just You know what people find more on your podcast. Find your website. You know Amy, Like it start? Well, >> where >> are Equus? Versace, of course. Geek hyphen whispers dot com on way, published every week. So give us a listen. See what you think. And I'm >> Matthew Brender. Sorry you couldn't join this time, but it's a lot as it were. A DMC world and you two are here in Matthew's. >> It's hard. We're going toe to toe. It's true. We're going to record with him like it's a Max headroom figure on a yes tomorrow, so and also I'm on Twitter as calms mention and I block under that same constantly dot com girls have engineers. That's true. I have engineers, unplug dot com as well. And now sixty second Tech, the short first on the popcorn version >> and I. J. Troia on Twitter and tech reckoning dot com. I went inside. >> Hey, Amy, John. Thanks so much. We We love taking the podcast. Inception. Sile inside the Cube. Look forward to seeing you lost events connecting with the community and everybody. Definitely check out their stuff. I'm at stew on Twitter with yvonne dot org's is where most of my articles go, and, of course, silicon angled on TV is where you can find all the video. Thanks for joining us. We will be back with the rest of DMC world covered.

>> wait. >> Okay, We're back. We are in Cambridge, Massachusetts. This is Dave Volante. I'm here with Jeff Kelly. Where with Wicked Bond. This is the Cube Silicon Angles production. We're here at the Mighty Information Quality Symposium in the heart of database design and development. We've had some great guests on Scott Hauser is here. He's the head of marketing at Adapt Company that we've introduced to our community. You know, quite some time ago, Um, really bringing multiple channels into the Duke Duke ecosystem and helping make sense out of all this data bringing insights to this data. Scott, welcome back to the Cube. >> Thanks for having me. It's good to be here. >> So this this notion of data quality, the reason why we asked you to be on here today is because first of all, you're a practitioner. Umm, you've been in the data warehousing world for a long, long time. So you've struggled with this issue? Um, people here today, uh, really from the world of Hey, we've been doing big data for a long time. This whole big data theme is nothing new to us. Sure, but there's a lot knew. Um, and so take us back to your days as a zoo. A data practitioner. Uh, data warehousing, business intelligence. What were some of the data quality issues that you faced and how did you deal with him? So >> I think a couple of points to raise in that area are no. One of things that we like to do is try and triangulate on user to engage them. And every channel we wanted to go and bring into the fold, creating unique dimension of how do we validate that this is the same person, right? Because each channel that you engage with has potentially different requirements of, um, user accreditation or, ah, guarantee of, you know, single user fuel. That's why I think the Holy Grail used to be in a lot of ways, like single sign on our way to triangulate across the spirit systems, one common identity or person to make that world simple. I don't think that's a reality in the in the sense that when you look at, um, a product provider or solution provider and a customer that's external, write those those two worlds Avery spirit and there was a lot of channels and pitch it potentially even third party means that I might want to engage this individual by. And every time I want to bring another one of those channels online, it further complicates. Validating who? That person eighty. >> Okay, so So when you were doing your data warehouse thing again as an I t practitioner, Um, you have you You try to expand the channels, but every time he did that and complex if I hide the data source So how did you deal with that problem? So just create another database and stole five Everything well, >> unfortunately, absolutely creates us this notion of islands of information throughout the enterprise. Because, as you mentioned, you know, we define a schema effectively a new place, Um, data elements into that schema of how you identified how you engage in and how you rate that person's behaviors or engagement, etcetera. And I think what you'd see is, as you'd bring on new sources that timeto actually emerge those things together wasn't in the order of days or weeks. It's on months and years. And so, with every new channel that became interesting, you further complicate the problem and effectively, What you do is, you know, creating these pools of information on you. Take extracts and you try and do something to munch the data and put in a place where you give access to an analyst to say, Okay, here's it. Another, um, Sample said a day to try and figure out of these things. Align and you try and create effectively a new schema that includes all the additional day that we just added. >> So it's interesting because again, one of the themes that we've been hearing a lot of this conference and hear it a lot in many conferences, not the technology. It's the people in process around the technology. That's certainly any person person would agree with that. But at the same time, the technology historically has been problematic, particularly data. Warehouse technology has been challenging you. So you've had toe keep databases relatively small and despair, and you had to build business processes around those that's right a basis. So you've not only got, you know, deficient technology, if you will, no offense, toe data, warehousing friends, but you've got ah, process creep that's actually fair. That's occurred, and >> I think you know what is happening is it's one of the things that's led to sort of the the revolution it's occurring in the market right now about you know, whether it's the new ecosystem or all the tangential technologies around that. Because what what's bound not some technology issues in the past has been the schema right. As important as that is because it gives people a very easy way to interact with the data. It also creates significant challenges when you want to bring on these unique sources of information. Because, you know, as you look at things that have happened over the last decade, the engagement process for either a consumer, a prospect or customer have changed pretty dramatically, and they don't all have the same stringent requirements about providing information to become engaged that way. So I think where the schema has, you know, has value you obviously, in the enterprise, it also has a lot of, um, historical challenges that brings along with >> us. So this jump movement is very disruptive to the traditional market spaces. Many folks say it isn't traditional guy, say, say it isn't but clearly is, particularly as you go Omni Channel. I threw that word out earlier on the channels of discussion that we had a dupe summit myself. John Ferrier, Hobby lobby meta and as your and this is something that you guys are doing that bringing in data to allow your customers to go Omni Channel. As you do that, you start again. Increase the complexity of the corpus of data at the same time. A lot of a lot of times into do you hear about scheme alight ski, but less so how do you reconcile the Omni Channel? The scheme of less It's their scheme alight. And the data quality >> problems, Yes, I think for, you know, particular speaking about adapt one of things that we do is we give customers the ability to take and effectively dump all that data into one common repository that is HD if s and do and leverage some of those open source tools and even their own, you know, inventions, if you will, you know, with m R code pig, whatever, and allow them to effectively normalized data through it orations and to do and then push that into tables effectively that now we can give access to the sequel interface. Right? So I think for us the abilities you're absolutely right. The more channels. You, Khun, give access to write. So this concept of anomie channel where Irrespective of what way we engaged with a customer what way? They touch us in some way. Being able to provide those dimensions of data in one common repository gives the marketeer, if you will, an incredible flexibility and insights that were previous, Who'd be discoverable >> assuming that data qualities this scene >> right of all these So so that that was gonna be my question. So what did the data quality implications of using something like HD FSB. You're essentially scheme unless you're just dumping data and essentially have a raw format and and it's raw format. So now you've gotto reconcile all these different types of data from different sources on build out that kind of single view of a customer of a product, Whatever, whatever is yours. You're right. >> So how do you go >> about doing that in that kind of scenario? So I think the repository in Hindu breach defense himself gives you that one common ground toa workin because you've got, you know, no implications of schema or any other preconceived notions about how you're going toe to toe massage weight if you will, And it's about applying logic and looking for those universal ides. There are a bunch of tools around that are focused on this, but applying those tools and it means that doesn't, um, handy captain from the start by predisposing them to some structure. And you want them to decipher or call out that through whether it's began homegrown type scripts, tools that might be upstairs here and then effectively normalizing the data and moving it into some structure where you can interact with it on in a meaningful way. So that really the kind the old way of trying to bring, you know, snippets of the data from different sources into ah, yet another database where you've got a play structure that takes time, months and years in some cases. And so Duke really allows you to speed up that process significantly by basically eliminating that that part of the equation. Yeah, I think there's and there's a bunch of dimensions we could talk about things like even like pricing exercises, right quality of triangulating on what that pricing should be per product for geography, for engagement, etcetera. I think you see that a lot of those types of work. Let's have transitioned from, you know, mainframe type environments, environments of legacy to the Duke ecosystem. And we've seen cases where people talk about they're going from eight month, you know, exercises to a week. And I think that's where the value of this ecosystem in you know, the commodity scalability really provides you with flexibility. That was just previously you unachievable. >> So could you provide some examples either >> you know, your own from your own career or from some customers you're seeing in terms of the data quality implications of the type of work they're doing. So one of our kind of *** is that you know the data quality measures required for any given, uh, use case various, in some cases, depending on the type of case. You know, in depending on the speed that you need, the analysis done, uh, the type of data quality or the level data qualities going is going to marry. Are you seeing that? And if >> so, can you give some examples of the different >> types of way data quality Gonna manifest itself in a big data were close. Sure. So I think that's absolutely fair. And you know. Obviously there's there's gonna be some trade off between accuracy and performance, right? And so you have to create some sort of confidence coefficient part, if you will, that you know, within some degree of probability this is good enough, right? And there's got to be some sort of balance between that actor Jerseyan time Um, some of the things that you know I've seen a lot of customers being interested in is it is a sort of market emerging around providing tools for authenticity of engagement. So it's an example. You know, I may be a large brand, and I have very, um, open channels that I engage somebody with my B e mail might be some Web portal, etcetera, and there's a lot of fishing that goes on out there, right? And so people fishing for whether it's brands and misrepresenting themselves etcetera. And there's a lot of, you know, desire to try and triangulate on data quality of who is effectively positioned themselves as me, who's really not me and being able to sort of, you know, take a cybersecurity spin and started to block those things down and alleviate those sort of nefarious activities. So We've seen a lot of people using our tool to effectively understand and be able to pinpoint those activities based upon behavior's based upon, um, out liars and looking at examples of where the engagement's coming from that aren't authentic if that >> makes you feel any somewhat nebulous but right. So using >> analytics essentially to determine the authenticity of a person of intensity, of an engagement rather than taking more rather than kind of looking at the data itself using pattern detection to determine. But it also taking, you know, there's a bunch of, um, there's a bunch of raw data that exists out there that needs you when you put it together again. Back to this notion of this sort of, you know, landing zone, if you will, or Data Lake or whatever you wanna call it. You know, putting all of this this data into one repository where now I can start to do you know, analytics against it without any sort of pre determined schema. And start to understand, you know, are these people who are purporting to be, you know, firm X y Z are there really from X y Z? And if they're not, where these things originating and how, when we start to put filters or things in place to alleviate those sort of and that could apply, it sounds like to certainly private industry. But, I mean, >> it sounds like >> something you know, government would be very interested in terms ofthe, you know, in the news about different foreign countries potentially being the source of attacks on U. S. Corporations are part of the, uh, part of our infrastructure and trying to determine where that's coming from and who these people are. And >> of course, people were trying to get >> complicated because they're trying to cover up their tracks, right? Certainly. But I think that the most important thing in this context is it's not necessarily about being able to look at it after the fact, but it's being able to look at a set of conditions that occur before these things happen and identify those conditions and put controls in place to alleviate the action from taking place. I think that's where when you look at what is happening from now an acceleration of these models and from an acceleration of the quality of the data gathering being able to put those things into place and put effective controls in place beforehand is changing. You know the loss prevention side of the business and in this one example. But you're absolutely right. From from what I see and from what our customers were doing, it is, you know, it's multi dimensional in that you know this cyber security. That's one example. There's pricing that could be another example. There's engagements from, ah, final analysis or conversion ratio that could be yet another example. So I think you're right in it and that it is ubiquitous. >> So when you think about the historical role of the well historical we had Stewart on earlier, he was saying, the first known chief data officer we could find was two thousand three. So I guess that gives us a decade of history. But if you look back at the hole, I mean data quality. We've been talking about that for many, many decades. So if you think about the traditional or role of an organization, trying tio achieved data quality, single version of the truth, information, quality, information value and you inject it with this destruction of a dupe that to me anyway, that whole notion of data quality is changing because in certain use, cases inference just fine. Um, in false positives are great. Who cares? That's right. Now analyzing Twitter data from some cases and others like healthcare and financial services. It's it's critical. But so how do you see the notion of data quality evolving and adapting to this >> new world? Well, I think one of these you mentioned about this, you know, this single version of the truth was something that was, you know, when I was on the other side of the table, >> they were beating you over the head waken Do this, We >> can do this, and it's It's something that it sounds great on paper. But when you look at the practical implications of trying to do it in a very finite or stringent controlled way, it's not practical for the business >> because you're saying that the portions of your data that you can give a single version of the truth on our so small because of the elapsed time That's right. I think there's that >> dimension. But there's also this element of time, right and the time that it takes to define something that could be that rigid and the structure months. It's months, and by that time a lot of the innovations that business is trying to >> accomplish. The eyes have changed. The initiatives has changed. Yeah, you lost the sale. Hey, but we got the data. It would look here. Yeah, I think that's your >> right. And I think that's what's evolving. I think there's this idea that you know what Let's fail fast and let's do a lot of it. Orations and the flexibility it's being provided out in that ecosystem today gives people an opportunity. Teo iterated failed fast, and you write that you set some sort of, you know confidence in that for this particular application. We're happy with you in a percent confidence. Go fish. You are something a little >> bit, but it's good enough. So having said that now, what can we learn from the traditional date? A quality, you know, chief data officer, practitioners, those who've been very dogmatic, particularly in certain it is what can we learn from them and take into this >> new war? I think from my point of view on what my experience has always been is that those individuals have an unparalleled command of the business and have an appreciation for the end goal that the business is trying to accomplish. And it's taking that instinct that knowledge and applying that to the emergence of what's happening in the technology world and bringing those two things together. I think it's It's not so much as you know, there's a practical application in that sense of Okay, here's the technology options that we have to do these, you know, these desired you engaged father again. It's the pricing engagement, the cyber security or whatever. It's more. How could we accelerate what the business is trying to accomplish and applying this? You know, this technology that's out there to the business problem. I think in a lot of ways, you know, in the past it's always been here. But this really need technology. How can I make it that somewhere? And now I think those folks bring a lot of relevance to the technology to say Hey, here's a problem. Trying to solve legacy methodologies haven't been effective. Haven't been timely. Haven't been, uh, scaleable. Whatever hock me. Apply what's happening. The market today to these problems. >> Um, you guys adapt in particular to me any way a good signal of the maturity model and with the maturity of a dupe, it's It's starting to grow up pretty rapidly, you know, See, due to two auto. And so where are we had? What do you see is the progression, Um, and where we're going. >> So, you know, I mentioned it it on the cue for the last time it So it and I said, I believe that you know who do busy operating system of big data. And I believe that, you know, there's a huge transition taking place that was there were some interesting response to that on Twitter and all the other channels, but I stand behind that. I think that's really what's happening. Lookit. You know what people are engaging us to do is really start to transition away from the legacy methodologies and they're looking at. He's not just lower cost alternatives, but also more flexibility. And we talked about, you know, its summit. The notion of that revenue curve right and cost takeouts great on one side of the coin, and I are one side of the defense here. But I think equally and even more importantly, is the change in the revenue curve and the insights that people they're finding because of these unique channels of the Omni Challenge you describe being able to. So look at all these dimensions have dated one. Unified place is really changing the way that they could go to market. They could engage consumers on DH that they could provide access to the analyst. Yeah. I mean, ultimately, that's the most >> we had. Stewart Madness con who's maybe got written textbooks on operating systems. We probably use them. I know I did. Maybe they were gone by the time you got there, but young, but the point being, you know, a dupe azan operating system. The notion of a platform is really it's changing dramatically. So, um, I think you're right on that. Okay. So what's what's next for you guys? Uh, we talked about, you know, customer attraction and proof points. You're working. All right on that. I know. Um, you guys got a great tech, amazing team. Um, what's next for >> you? So I think it's it's continuing toe. Look at the market in being flexible with the market around as the Hughes case is developed. So, you know, obviously is a startup We're focused in a couple of key areas where we see a lot of early adoption and a lot of pain around the problem that we can solve. But I think it's really about continuing to develop those use cases, um, and expanded the market to become more of a, you know, a holistic provider of Angelique Solutions on top of a >> house. Uh, how's Cambridge working out for you, right? I mean, the company moved up from the founders, moved up from New Haven and chose shows the East Coast shows cameras were obviously really happy about. That is East Coast people. You don't live there full time, but I might as well. So how's that working out talent pool? You know, the vibrancy of the community, the the you know, the young people that you're able to tap. So >> I see there's a bunch of dimensions around that one. It's hot. It's really, really hot >> in human, Yes, but it's been actually >> fantastic. And if you look it not just a town inside the team, but I think around the team. So if you look at our board right Jet Saxena. Chris Lynch, I've been very successful. The database community over decades of experience, you know, and getting folks like that onto the board fell. The Hardiman has been, you know, in this space as well for a long time. Having folks like that is, you know, advisors and providing guidance to the team. Absolutely incredible. Hack Reduce is a great facility where we do things like hackathons meet ups get the community together. So I think there's been a lot of positive inertia around the company just being here in Cambridge. But, you know, from AA development of resource or recruiting one of you. It's also been great because you've got some really exceptional database companies in this area, and history will show you like there's been a lot of success here, not only an incubating technology, but building real database companies. And, you know, we're on start up on the block that people are very interested in, and I think we show a lot of, you know, dynamics that are changing in the market and the way the markets moving. So the ability for us to recruit talent is exceptional, right? We've got a lot of great people to pick from. We've had a lot of people joined from no other previously very successful database companies. The team's growing, you know, significantly in the engineering space right now. Um, but I just you know, I can't say enough good things about the community. Hack, reduce and all the resource is that we get access to because we're here in Cambridge. >> Is the hacker deuces cool? So you guys are obviously leveraging that you do how to bring people into the Sohag produces essentially this. It's not an incubator. It's really more of a an idea cloud. It's a resource cloud really started by Fred Lan and Chris Lynch on DH. Essentially, people come in, they share ideas. You guys I know have hosted a number of how twos and and it's basically open. You know, we've done some stuff there. It's it's very cool. >> Yeah, you know, I think you know, it's even for us. It's also a great place to recruit, right. We made a lot of talented people there, and you know what? The university participation as well We get a lot of talent coming in, participate in these activities, and we do things that aren't just adapt related, that we've had people teach had obsessions and just sort of evangelize what's happening in the ecosystem around us. And like I said, it's just it's been a great resource pool to engage with. And, uh, I think it's been is beneficial to the community, as it has been to us. So very grateful for that. >> All right. Scott has always awesome. See, I knew you were going to have some good practitioner perspectives on data. Qualities really appreciate you stopping by. My pleasure. Thanks for having to see you. Take care. I keep right to everybody right back with our next guest. This is Dave a lot. They would. Jeff Kelly, this is the Cube. We're live here at the MIT Information Quality Symposium. We'LL be right back.
