 hear us over there yeah we can hear you yep great okay we're here with Barton George of Dell hey Barton how are you I'm doing quite well you're sporting a different shirt today yes I did I went from the crowbar black to the Austin cowboy motif maybe you can show this for us yeah this is this is from NTT they're they're a sponsor so how about that huh Fuji son right there so yeah Hadoop elephant trying to remember what elephant is in Japanese but I forget so enough of the playing around here yes sir I wanted to talk to you a little bit about Dell and what your impressions are of the event and what is this Dell open source movement we keep hearing about and how does it relate to him I think the Dell open source movement is pretty organic in the way that it's coming up through the company what you're what you're hearing about it probably the biggest proof point is what we announced yesterday which is the fact that we're open sourcing six bar clamps by the end this month the coast can be up on github and what a bar clamp is is we've got this well a little bit of history first we've got something called a project crowbar and so what it is is it takes the open source part of chef it wraps it in the software framework and originally the whole idea was a quick way to provision and deploy open staff so you could get it up and running in an hour or two as opposed to days or weeks what we realized was that hey this this kind of provisioning software works right for scale-out architectures what are the scale-out architectures could use it for well Hadoop is a perfect match so we we wrote the modules on top that our architects rewrote it so actually have people at and Dell will read for writing the software rewrote it to make it modular in this form we've got bar clamps that sit on top so yeah so we got the ones we announced yesterday were for Hadoop and those are for CDH for the enterprise version for pig flu scoop and zookeeper I got all six so those will go live on github at the end of the month okay we want people to go in there and start hacking on it and start working on it what we're trying to do is we want to be building a community here right and we want as many people as possible to go in and start looking at that so that's that's sort of how we started with the SCUNC work project within Dell that just sort of grew up personally and we thought hey how can we make it easier for our customers to deploy on our hardware and then we've had greater applications and uh and greater uh greater uh from there what do you think well I'm wondering what's up with Dell doing all this software stuff you know to a hardware company uh but what motivates Dell to get involved in these things just selling more hardware by sponsoring open source or is there more to it well I think one of the cool things that Mike from Dell talks about is when he came back into the town four years ago he said the business model that we'd had before we had been fully amortized right so this whole idea of low cost producer for master production PCs and servers uh we need to start adding value to that so as a result we're now becoming a solutions company and so that's what we're doing is we're making the transition to provide complete solutions one of the biggest things that we've done uh in line with that goal is to acquire Perot so we now have uh 40,000 of our hundreds of thousands of people doing services so it is more than just hardware okay adding the hardware with complete solutions and then what we do for all our solutions continue of options do we do we build do we buy or do we partner do we do each one of those in the case of Perot we bought um we build our hardware in the case of Probar we decided to build that uh then we partner with people like uh Cloudair for a new offering join for our web application uh turnkey offering with vCloud VMware from our vCloud so we look at each different one and the whole idea is to go from being a hardware company to be a product we're going to have we're going to have to we're going to have to wrap they need to go back to the set but John, Dave back to you uh we'll uh we'll we'll catch up with you in a little bit back out on the floor thanks okay great
