 Live from Boston, Massachusetts extracting the signal from the noise. It's the Cube Covering Red Hat Summit 2015 brought to you by Red Hat Hi everyone, I'm Sam Cahane with Stu Miniman. You're watching the Cube We're here at the Heinz Convention Center at Red Hat Summit We're gonna wrap it up for you. This is the end of the spring tour and it has been a Fantastic conference so far great energy in this place. They're Red Hat tattoos They're giving out clam chowder in Boston our favorite city giving away go pros We had some great interviews Jim Whitehurst came on Stu. How many years have you been here? So it's my second year of the show Sam. Did you win the GoPro? I entered four raffles They're not all over yet, but so far no GoPro All right, well it is my second year at the show and I really like this show first of all You know we got great guests on the Cube So first of all the executive team very open as you would expect with Red Hat Really good discussion on and you know it's just Jim Whitehurst said in his book and on the Cube They're really helping to catalyze communities. So it's not all about pushing a product It's about helping with the open-source vision and therefore the you know the various things that they're helping to do Broad partnerships pulling in their customers had a couple of really good You know partner and customer sessions here as to where they're doing, you know really interesting things Whether it just be you know on Red Hat Enterprise Linux going up to the virtualization Open stack open shift all the things they're doing in container I mean, you know we started the week at DockerCon and come back and you know Red Hatch like oh, yeah You know behind Docker who's the number two contributor in the open-source space? It's Red Hat Kubernetes from Google number two is Red Hat So, you know nobody ever would doubt you know the open-source credibility nor do we doubt at this point that open-source is a hugely important piece of IT and open-source is ubiquitous and people aren't just saying oh, it's okay If I do open-source they're asking for open-source and therefore Red Hat has a seat at the table for a loss of discussions Great Stu. I couldn't agree with you more and you know like you said So many great guests on if you're gonna pick out a couple must watch You know interviews for our guests or for yourself to rewatch who would you say yeah? So, you know it's a little easy for me sometimes because I say I want to start with the user case studies because that's the best way To understand how this technology works and how it can transform our business. So deep Mar from Amadeus was a great segment yesterday Really that the travel industry is one that is you know mission critical That has to help a lot of environments gone through a ton of changes, you know over the last couple of decades and They are you know an early, you know really lighthouse account for open shift You know lots of open shift customers out there But you know the one that they have front and center and you can understand why they are really passionate about what they're doing At OpenShift and I think he did a really good job of articulating what it did for it from the executive standpoint both Paul Cormier And Jim Whitehurst, I mean phenomenal guests so much experience so much knowledge Paul has been there since the early days of red hat And Jim it was like it reminded me of one of my MBA classes and kind of go through I do recommend reading his book because you know there are things that we learned as to you know How the hierarchy is changing and how we can get all get involved in a lot of topics the last thing We just had with Sarah Novotny You know personally what one of my favorites just because as somebody I've known for a bunch of years But to get down and really share some of the conversations that like I like having in the hallways in the back corners of these events and Online to bring that to our audience so so many good interviews here It's tough to pick a few because lots of really smart people and lots of good content throughout the two days of coverage Absolutely, and I think we had our youngest guest ever come on Jim Jim's son came on for a little bit. We took some group pictures. So that was always fun as well Yeah, you know it really highlights, you know, Jim Jim White her CEO had had his son here And it's about culture, you know red hat one of their differentiated out there is the culture of the company They say that you know culture will conquer all and you know, how does that drive? You know, you know natively innovation How does that keep them from being disrupted? Because we know that the pace of change, you know is happening so fast There's a great line from Doug Baylog and his keynote this morning said, you know, if you're afraid of change You know, you probably don't want to be in the IT industry because as we all know the only thing that's constant IT is the the rapid pace of change Absolutely and speaking of change do so you've been coming to this event for a long time. How is the actual event changed? What was the topic like last year? How's it shifted? What do you expect in the future? So Sam actually this is one one event that you know, it's only been two years for me But I've tracked red hat now, you know, I was a partner with red hat, you know, 15 years ago And in some ways a lot of things change but a lot of ways they don't may change all that fast Jim Whitehurst actually said and the reason that is is because they're not the ones just Necessarily coming up with an idea. They're looking for what the users in the communities get things started and then they're getting heavily involved So, you know red hat comes and says, oh, yeah this container thing It's not like this caught them by surprise Alex C's been around for I think almost a decade now. They got involved very early. They were there It's great to hear, you know red hat and Microsoft got together to help where we get Docker and core West to get OCP the open compute project Not so sorry not open computer container project too many OCP's You know going so In many ways, you know, there are some shows that are always like oh, you know We got 5,000 more people and we're growing this much from a revenue standpoint red hat is growing Dave allotted He'd a real good job breaking down, you know, if company they're their core product lines growing I think it's about 12 to 14 percent year-over-year. That's phenomenal growth If I look at, you know, the server industry the storage industry the networking industry, you know Low single digits is a good growth company and red hat is is is still growing at a tight rate At a good pace their newer areas are growing more fit 40 to 50 percent obviously opportunities in cloud opportunities in you know modern applications and the developers world and You know red hat being a public company is really the poster child for so much of you know, this open-source adoption I'm a real interest see over the next couple of years. I don't necessarily expect, you know more billion-dollar open source companies I do expect lots of companies that will be built on open source leveraging open source put the product in and that leaves red hat with lots of opportunity to You know get into a lot of environments Right and Jim Whitehurst was saying his big goal right now like you said is just gain that market share, you know Take away from the competition and keep growing So it's dude. It's been a crazy spring tour, you know, finally we'll have a little break a little time to rest You could you summarize what we've done so far this year and then tell us what you're excited for in the future All right, so for the next hour we're going to go through all of the very shows we did boy Sam We we've been at so many shows. Yeah, I tell this spring really appreciate everybody that's been watching this program You know, I can't even think of where the show, you know started I had a checklist on my whiteboard just for a segment of the like hyperconvergence stuff that I cover in that space not to mention It's cloud big data and infrastructure wikibon research everything going on in the cube so many shows You know, you know, I need some time to just reflect on it because you know We I think it's been like 19 or 20 live events. We've done we've been averaging two events a week I said three this week. So, you know real shout out to the whole team as to you know So many moving pieces, you know, we love going out of these events extracting signal from the noise And bringing all of this takes a lot of work behind the scenes So, you know, maybe say I'm a you know the wrap-up at this point, you know, thanks Sam for you You know, you're new to the team, you know, thanks to any any quick, you know takes You know, you joined us at the beginning of this spring tour, you know from the new new view What what what's your take so far?
