live from san francisco extracting the signal from the noise it's the cute covering oracle openworld 2015 brought to you by oracle now your host John furrier okay welcome back everyone we are here live in San Francisco on Howard Street for oracle openworld special presentation of the cube so looking ankles flagship program we go out to the events and extract the system noise i'm john furrier founder of SiliconANGLE join my next to gas prakash ramamurthy senior vice president systems and cloud management basically management cloud at oracle and mary johnson Turner research vice president enterprise systems management IDC welcome to the cube thank you so I think take my glasses off to read read the intro there but I want to just get your take on it because we just had to admit on Lavery talk about the plowed and one question I didn't get to ask him was a success mark hurry was talk about the pipeline of customers already in motion on the cloud so I wanted to ask him which is great timing for you guys is how do they integrate it which he talked about but then how do they manage if this is a big issue and he you know ease of use is something that he was generally throwing around there so what is the status of the management cloud because that will be a differentiator like security and to end as a differentiator management certainly will be to me not just table stakes it's really differentiated absolutely i think we're here because we're launching it today actually the management cloud and the interesting thing is this which is today if you look at it whether it's on our cloud or on-premise the rate of innovation is very very robust right i mean you have a mobile phone you're seeing your apps getting refresh twice a week or or even faster than that so what it means is you need the next generation monitoring solution that can monitor all of that so our goal with oracle management flower is to help you manage and monitor your solutions independent of where they are deployed if you deploy it on oracle cloud you little come bake with it to be able to monitor it right from the get-go or if you still have it on premise we will allow you to monitor it and break down those data I low so it is very effective so like you said is very very critical that people look at what their challenges are today in terms of proactive monitoring and troubleshooting to get to the next generation solutions we are providing theory I want to ask you a question on the trends but before that I want to just say that one of things i love about doing the oracle shells are six year the cube here is that for an old-timer like me seen the client-server live the client-server Revolution which is now kind of almost a point in time now it's almost it's over now we're into the cloud cloud modern error it's interesting to see because the same same things keep coming up again it's like the platform's the tool is so I got to ask you the question on what is the key trends that are driving this new application space because if you look at the client-server one of the big things that really was huge was the application market mean that would grant it was siloed up by you know by vendors but now with open source this is a huge application boom right now that's gonna impact IT operations sure yeah I think that if you look at it there's been like you said a couple of generations of technology we had mainframes things changed really slow right then we had client server which was to give business units and developers more control and things started to speed up and change a little more quickly but now in our current and cloud native cloud based development real-time microservice open source-based kind of world the rating pays the change is almost constant you're seeing so many organizations that are moving to continuous delivery modes much of it hosted on public cloud or hybrid private public cloud and they're changing features and functions every day and that creates huge management challenges in terms of just trying to understand is the end-to-end application performing effectively are the end-users getting what they need are the business decision-makers really understanding the impact of those outages or upgrades and it's so it's very complex and then I think it's raising the set of requirements for a particular application performance monitoring and IT operations and log analytics I was Oracle addressing these trends because one of the things that people like tonight I'd like to put things into two camps rip and replace okay or evolutionary development and we're clearly on the McCloud evolutionary because Oracle has it's not gonna be it's not gonna go away right so you can say Oracle native is the cloud strategy to all the Oracle customers but yet now with open source there's net new applications that do you got cha vows to 20 years anniversary so there's new stuff going on IOT is a huge application market right now now I can run an IOT thing in the cloud somewhere else or maybe on Amazon or somewhere else but the other day I have run through my operational assistance assistance of engagements this is a record which is Oracle right so is it an Oracle native cloud and the cloud data mean it how do you see oracle addressing that dynamic are they well positioned well i think oracle has a pretty broad portfolio you know they've had again from a management perspective they had Oracle Enterprise Manager on Prem for many many years i think that the new offerings that are being announced today really are interesting that they extend Oracles of monitoring and analytics to a whole range of cloud-based solutions many of which may not necessarily have been born on the Oracle platforms so I think it's a good recognition of the need for heterogeneity and the need to recognize that it is going to be a very hybrid world for many many years so I think that those are all real you know positive factors and then the new releases and it was talking about the integrated pass perform as a service Enchantix connect those environments but on the management side what are you guys delivering because that's going to be the challenge Prakash to talk about the specific things that you guys are announcing and delivering the customers today so specifically we are delivering three services first one is around application performance monitoring that allows our customers to stay ahead of their customers and their problems and give them the best user experience and monitor that and troubleshoot that and then the second service is around managing your logs and extracting IT operational data and business data out of it today if you look at it the most common thing people do with the log is to archive them and put it away because they don't want that to interrupt their production systems but that has a ton of good information so we have that second service eight exhaust becomes gold exactly so today what happens is they just get put away they get archived and that has real nuggets of business information and IT information being able to collect all of that and use it for your rapid troubleshooting as well so that's the second service the set third one is around IT analytics I call those first two services kind of like the Fitbit for your applications you're constantly getting vitals out of it and white throw that away if you don't have an issue still use it to run some interesting capacity friends and forecasting and all of that so use your real data to forecast your IT health as opposed to using a spreadsheet with some random data that you collected in a point in time so that's what we are announcing three services application performance monitoring log analytics and long term trending and forecasting with IT analytic Isis plunks been doing some log files how they were born people's blunt their data exactly they are trying to kind of get into that how do you guys compared to things like splunk and other tools I know tableau is a new relationship that was announced for the data visualization yeah Larry kind of talked about that yesterday talk about that how people are using that data exhaust give me some examples so the most fundamental difference in what we are doing is this which is we do not differentiate the sources of data and the classes of data when we bring it to the cloud so it could be metric data but with that you can collect based on your monitoring your health of your applications which splunk doesn't do for example and then log data but collect all of that and correlate it together so that in essence what we want to do is this which is the enterprise's today don't have a really a data problem they'd have an insight problem which is they want to be able to just see the right amount of data when they have a problem not all the data when they have a problem depends how you look at the data problem they'll have a Jerry problems you define that as they get all this data so you're plenty of data that's the problem there's no dearth of data problem yeah so that's what I'm i know i know i just kind of making this fun was good comment because i like that because that's that is really not an issue the data is coming yeah and that's you know Brandon whole know the problem you guys have scale now with that but the I don't Linux is a big thing I wanna talk about that because it can be problematic I'm a talk to some customers all the time and they say if someone comes in here and sells me another dashboard I'm gonna shoot myself exactly so it's like because and I said what do you mean by that he goes well there's so many alarms going off I don't know what to pay attention to that's where we start to see machine learning from these tools can you share any color what your great wine Larry I'm it's exactly right which is one of the underpinnings for us is to be able to automatically generate baseline and detect anomalies the last thing I mean our product support our own public cloud and I hear from the guys who run the cloud saying don't just give me another alert tell me what I need to do with an alert because I need to be able to disposition the alert so what we want to do is to understand the normal behavior of your application and only alerts you when there's an anomaly okay so that's part of our machine learning and prioritisation learning some learning algorithms in volved understand some pattern recognition that's right things and only tell you what the outlier is and when and and ask determine what the outlier is that suppose you setting thresholds for us to know it because sometimes things change if you are an e-commerce application or the day before Thanksgiving would have a different pattern than the third week of January right me just that the way the world works so what I want to talk to you about Larry made a comment yes in the key no I just like to take a dig at work day but you know in the way he likes work day because you know it's competition and also highlights from the features that Oracle has but what work days actually losing some share to service now a company in here in Silicon Valley that is an itsm IT service management company and they have been very successful their developer program which actually is starting to nibble away at work shares market share because they're building these developers are building these really focused age are apps that is not flat point it's a tool I know like an offense report for example and works really really well but work day has a plethora of features and they don't always have the best in class features uh-huh so that brings up the whole developer angle what do you and you guys have a story there for developers api's how do you talk to the absolutely share absolutely we have a rest api that the developers can use to collect the data from there into their own dashboards if they want to and also for example you can automatically deploy our agents when you're using our Java cloud service so that monitoring gets baked into it so we have api's for both inputting data and torque loud and extracting data back from the cloud will have api's for you to take the events that we generate into your own event dashboard that you have I'm a developer have a team like I could do some stuff filled my own kind of visualization UI and just have JSON endpoints come right into the absolution absolutely maybe I know she smirked when I said service now you will share some insight it's a this dynamic because this is kind of what's happening on the cloud these tools are popping up yeah well yeah and again I think what we're talking about today is to be able to monitor and analyze and optimize a lot of those different tools and deliver them via cloud platform and I think that we are finding that DevOps organizations are very interested in cloud-based solutions that help them do this better cheaper or faster so I think that you know I think it's an opportunity service now has currently been a pioneer in the delivery of system management as a cloud based model and I think it's interesting that Oracle is actually choosing to enter that market in in a different place yeah I mean actually I just a strength and you got the systems of record a on the right and and really talk from your really you know to Prakash this point really focusing on data because managing effectively managing the performance and operation of applications and complex environments it's all it is a huge data problem and you've got data coming from so many sources so many formats and being able to take that in rapidly to transform it normalize it and make it digestible for humans it's something that is really important in these complex environments and yes I think it's going to be interesting to see I think it's a great try or agree with you I think it's a great strategy by focusing on the data you have a lot of range and I wrote a blog post in 2007 now I'm going way back date is a new developer kit and now that's actually happening you look at data people are playing with the data like a developer place with function calls if you will so we're seeing now is a data rich environment hence the not not a problem of having enough data laying around the problem is how do you use the data you're getting all the products yeah inside is a huge problem and that's only an accelerated by faster performance machines in easy-to-use environment like I'd better analytics because you you want if the user knows what the problem is that they're looking for there are a lot of tools that will help you find it yeah but if you do not know what the problem is and to guide them towards the problem is is where where there's real opportunity and there's a real pain point in these enterprises especially now that you and I don't tolerate a downtime so you never cut anybody slack saying oh the website is slow but they've been innovating I'm gonna give them some slack nobody does that yeah yeah so and because now everything is measurable now for the first time in the history of business everything is measurable that's right and that's like just mind-blowing to me but i think is a huge app i only get your thoughts on the application market because I just see a massive tsunami coming of third-party developers and I'm not sure Oracle can handle that I didn't that's my personal opinion counter that I mean I people want to know can Oracle handle an ecosystem of third-party developers absolutely we have shown that before with with Java and I think you see every one of four services having open api's we are coating third-party developers we will be continuing to support them and I think we'll be able to handle it and we need to do that as a part of this ecosystem yeah I mean it's a platform yeah so you have to enable absolutely and that's the open message exactly all right so gosh what's your advice for the people at oracle openworld here and the people watching let's start with the people here on site if they catch this video when are we putting up some snippets before you even get off the set here so one what session should they attend what's where should I get more information what sessions and breakouts and then presentations they goes I have a keynote tomorrow at 11am that I would love for them to attend and outside of that there are some hands-on labs here that they should go look at the products and people who are remote they should go to cloud.oracle.com / management where we have all the services listed and take a look at it and we are really really going to be putting out a very differentiated solution than what is available in the marketplace and I would love for them to check it out and give us feedback for the folks watching online and customers in general when they squint through all the activities a lot of bombs dropping here at Oracle I mean a lot of announcements this is pretty pretty unprecedented what should they look for what are the if you at the point of someone to 11 point data point within your world that's going to get their attention and have them dive in deep what should they look at if they're having issues with their applications today if they're hearing about their application issues first from their customers and not by themselves they should be looking at our solutions to see how they can get ahead of the customers and that's what that's one precise message they can take back
