The word that we hear over and over is transformation. Well, what happens when the company that helps you transform, transforms. Today we are going to be talking about the state of the technology industry and what matters now.
I have been a fan of disaggregation and composable infrastructure for some time now. It is a great way to get better utilization out of your infrastructure, and improve flexibility and the programmability of your resources. Even companies like HPE have validated the market with their Synergy platform, but, adoption has been slow. Today we are going to be talking with a company that is looking to change that.
There are some people in IT who become quite notable for always being at the center of great things. They enable others with their knowledge, and by doing so, they rise to legendary status within the community. Today we have just such a person, Duncan Epping.
As many of you may know, in my past life I was a CTO of a company that built high security mission critical data center facilities as well as owing and operating data center facilities.
I often talk with clients who are struggling with choosing data center space, so I wanted to give you a few tips when you are on the market looking. I have seen companies make a lot of mistakes over the years.
So I have talked in the past about the rise of disaggregation and compassable infrastructure, and a lot of that was on display at VMWorld. I first ran into Liqid at the Open Compute Platform summit a few years back. They drew a lot of attention for showing how you could provision hardware assets as easily as you could provision VMs. Because it is all REST based, you could add physical hardware provisioning into your DevOps process. Basically, all of the components are joined together over a PCIe fabric to allow the dynamic provisioning of components.
Cohesity had a great showing at VMWorld, they had a mini golf course activation at the show and they were there to raise money for Special Olympics. They had Football Hall of Fame receiver, Jerry Rice overseeing the event which featured a couple of Special Olympians going head to head in a game of miniature golf.
Special Olympics has been a long time passion for Cohesity’s President and COO, Rob Salmon and he and CEO Mohit Aron were there to present a large (in size and amount) check to Special Olympics.
