Hi everybody, welcome back to another FUTRtech video podcast. I also want to let everyone know that the audio version of the podcast is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most of the others or you can find it at FUTR.buzzsprout.com.

Today we are going to talk about an important topic that doesn’t always get enough attention in IT and that is the AIOPs space. In my previous life on the business side, I know how valuable tools like this can be and leadership doesn’t always sufficiently understand the value they can provide to the business.

There is an interesting group of very successful entrepreneurs who spin out of Cisco, create some compelling tech which is then acquired by Cisco and integrated into their product portfolio. We are lucky enough to have one of those serial entrepreneurs with us today.

Raju Datla is the founder of multiple silicon valley startups. Raju’s latest endeavor is the AIOPS company CloudFabrix, where he is co-founder and CEO. Prior to CloudFabrix, Raju was Vice President of Cisco’s Datacenter Group, he led the $3B Cisco UCS software division and was the CEO and co-founder of Cloud computing startup Cloupia, and Jahi Networks. Both of which were acquired by Cisco. Raju is here to fill us in on the state of the industry for AIOPS and monitoring and analytics, and he is going to tell us how CloudFabrix is trying to change the game.

Welcome Raju
