 Back to the final segment of day two, this is SiliconANGLE's exclusive coverage of OpenStack Summit Live in Portland, Oregon, three days of back-to-back continuous coverage, just where the action is. This is all signal, no noise. This is SiliconANGLE's theCUBE. This is our flagship telecast. We go out to the events and extract the signal from the noise. I'm John Furrier, the founder of SiliconANGLE. I'm joined by co-host Jeff Frick this week. Dave Vellante is back east, holding down the fort at wikibond.org. And David Fleury is out in some sessions getting some more analyst coverage here on the ground, deep inside OpenStack. It's our wrap-up segment, Jeff. I mean, day two, got one more day tomorrow, all day. And a normal cube gig, you know, go all day. But what's different here is we're really sharing some really amazing data around people doing some real valuable work. It's open source-based. It's scale-out open source. All the things we've been covering on Cloud Mobile and Social on SiliconANGLE, expanding the footprint conversation around value creation. And we just heard from Adrian Ionel from Mirantes. We had Jim Walker from Hortonworks. Roger Levy from HP. We had a startup, Dmitri Steliadis from NewAge. We had Wright Scale, Bailey Caldwell. We had Big Switch, David Cahill from SolidFire. The CTO of Rackspace. On and on, yesterday was the big analyst day. David Fleury broke that down. Really an amazing conference here. It's just been very impressive to see the level of quality here. And you don't see this very often. It's one of those flash points in tech history where you look at it and you're saying, hey, you know, when things cross over and start getting the lift, it goes supernova and goes vertical. It's really, really impressive. Yeah, it really feels that way. I mean, everyone who's here is talking about how much smaller the show was only six months ago. I guess it was in San Diego. We weren't there, shame on us. But just the amount of information that's coming out and the learning and really a different way to look at the world. I mean, some of the more interesting ones that I thought of today was one, looking at flash memory for storage and really changing the economic paradigm, the way I used to think about that from really super high performance, no latency applications, to with a cloud infrastructure because you have the shared resources, you don't have a one-to-one mapping of storage to apps and now suddenly the entire economics of that changes. What Adrian just said was phenomenal because we're talking to multiple, he's talking about multiple open source movements that are redefining the infrastructure in the enterprise from SQL to Hadoop to MongoDB. And now he, you know, and I got to read it to make it open, that could be the unifying control plane for all the open source infrastructure in the enterprise. So this is like a phenomenal inflection point. At least it sure feels like it to me. Yeah, I mean, it totally is. And my breakdown on summary here in day two really comes down to the fundamental tenants of OpenStack's mission, which is provide vendor neutral core open software, open source software that allows customers to have choices, to build value. You know, we reference AWS, Amazon Web Services, you can't really tailor that to your needs as well as say OpenStack and that's key. But the fundamental thing on top of that is that a successful platform in the open source community requires a community to actually contribute code of which they're proven here. But you got to have good software. And you got to have an ecosystem that's innovative, not just marketing hype and really innovating and delivering that code. And ultimately, as Adrian pointed out, as well as others, successful users, the quality of the deployments we've been hearing from that all day today. Again, the theme is people are coming forward standing loud, tall, loud and proud on their success and they're sharing that. And that's really a vibrant community. Now, take that back to reality. Let's translate this to the real world. The real world what's going on in the real world is people have to invest. They're investing in IT infrastructure where there's a cloud provided to provide all the consumerization trends, Pinterest, all that great stuff that's happening, Facebook, all that stuff's happening. Those types of apps and mobile apps are going to continue to hit the scene. Analytics software, big data, you know, HP pointed that out, that's happening. At the same time, enterprises need to retool because the business model and the pressure to be competitive and stay in business is to have new applications and to be agile to go from having something done and taking 12 weeks to ship on your IT for just to 15 minutes is a complete shift in transformation. Those investments have to happen and the people aren't really in place. They're getting in place. You're seeing a huge buildup of resources and investment to make that happen. And that's key. Now we've seen this movie before, client server, mainframe to client server and then client server to the PC revolution was all part of that same revolution. And the number one issue, Jeff, that people pointed out during those days were was interoperability. Still, the number one thing here at OpenStack is this stuff needs to work across clouds. The interoperability piece is the big story. Tomorrow we'll drill down on the interoperability. But again, ecosystem, great software, successful users, they're doing it here and the thing that's still on the to-do item that's constantly being addressed is the interoperability. Yeah, but as David Foyer said, with the advancing technologies, and he was pointing out IO is kind of the latest one to take a quantum leap to change the way these applications work. The processing horsepower, the speed of the networks. I mean, you're getting this critical mass of computing capability that are enabling things that before were difficult. But I thought there were other stuff. You know, Jim Walker talking about the community but not only a community but a passionate community. And when you're throwing that type of resources at innovation, how they can attack high priority problems so quickly that you just, you have a difficult time replicating with people that are just working for a living. You know, that's a very different way to attack the problem. I thought, again, Adrienne from Mirantis to talk about taking one of his core pieces of software, competitive advantage and throwing it out into the open source community because he felt that the net net positive effect of the company and the adoption of that piece of software and the use of that software to support the open stack would be a net net positive. I mean, this is transformative thinking and in the third piece, I think, both the young kids that are coming up and are used to being able to spin up a development environment on AWS plus the expectations of the rate of change in consumer applications because, you know, Google changes and added maps and then it added satellite view and then it added street view. You know, there's an expectation that people are getting with some of these really advanced consumer applications that are now driving, those young developers are at these big companies saying, hey, you know, I want to change this. I'm not waiting. I'm not waiting to provision. I'll just use my credit card and fire up something. I'm not waiting 12 months to implement this feature. So it's really kind of an interesting, kind of bottoms up transformation that's now hitting the enterprise and getting it just. I think David Floyer who was giving the analysis and we're going to have to rerun that segment multiple times because I think that was a great segment that unpacked some of the nuances and we talked about agile infrastructure where I was highlighting NetApp and NetApp was on yesterday and I think NetApp is a great example of a company that believes in agile infrastructure, data protection, all of the things that they, you know, it's their core business and you know, that's, you know, normal NetApp. But what NetApp was talking about in addition to yesterday was this notion of non-disruptive operations and David Floyer from Wikibon really helped me understand that piece and that relates to what's going on OpenStack and that is that non-disruptive operations means you have to plan for downtime. This is not about five nines anymore. This is an aggregate view. Applications go up, go down, servers go up and down, VMware's go up and down, virtual machines go up and down. So things are going up and down. These planned outages have to be factored in to the design for non-disruptive operations because there will be unplanned downtime. There will be planned downtime. That's a holistic view of the data center. There's no longer one view of the world whether it's a vendor. So it's a choice world for customers. And that's the exciting thing that's happening here is that OpenStack is the great promise with real code. Again, I was critical of OpenStack. We've been following OpenStack since the beginning. It kind of looked like a pool party. People jumping in, big splash, you know, having some fun doing some marketing and hyping up cloud. But what happened quickly was they reigned that in and they really put that meat on the bone. And it's very clear that that is no longer the case in any way. And this is really a real deal. OpenStack is here to stay and the numbers here and the quality attendees prove that they're being successful. Yeah, I would agree. And I think just from a purely an exploration of the way an open source foundation starts, develops, thrives as this is kind of the fourth big enterprise open source initiative that was described with databases and operating systems and the big data that this is an interesting case study. You know, there will be case studies done on how this was successful and how they've leveraged what came before to not make the same mistakes, put in the proper governance and really drive the community that again, we have a guy here who's excited about it, came from Microsoft with 10 employees. And then today we have HP with, but I have 300 employees. I mean, it's pretty amazing. I think the other thing that's notable is that as David Floyer pointed out is that the big whales, HP, NetApp, EMC, IBM, these guys aren't going away anytime soon. This is going to be a transition. It's not about, okay, they're killing the big whales. They're also here in the community. So, you know, HP is a major platinum contributor to OpenStack. They really are investing heavily in it. And they said, I said, what? Anybody in? He said, the star-angled banner hasn't even been sung yet. So, HP is aggressive. EMC, these guys all have the resources. The question is, can they evolve to this new modern error? The new modern error is about low latency, services-driven, service apps, and making that all happen, all in an open framework with layers of software. You know, on the low end of the stack, the infrastructure all the way up to the platforms. And ultimately, I believe that you're seeing the actual formalization that SAS suffers a service, business model, is not only here to stay, it is the preferred solution for business in the future. And you can't have SAS without platform as a service and or infrastructure as a service. So, as I think it was HP said, the SASification of business is here. And that's just the bottom line. Yep, yep, I think you're right. I think it's been a great day. And I'm really looking forward to day three. This is SiliconANGLE's exclusive OpenStack coverage. We are here on the ground all day long. There's a story here, we're going to find it. If not, we'll follow up. That's our mission, SiliconANGLE. We keep on going to SiliconANGLE.com for all the reference points for tech innovation, emerging technology, the enterprise. We're covering Google, we'll be at Google I.O., we'll be at Sapphire, we have IBM Edge, HP Discover coming up. We've got VMworld this year as well. We've got a slew of other events. Amazon Web Summit, Amazon Web Services Summit on the 30th of this month. Amazon ReInvent. We are going to be digging deep into the cloud with our breaking analysis and all the free research on wikibond.org. So go to wikibond.org for free research. And again, we'll be here all day tomorrow, day two wrapping up right now. We'll see everyone tomorrow. Day three of the exclusive OpenStack coverage is SiliconANGLE. I'm John Furrier for Jeff Frick and I. Good night and we'll see you tomorrow.
