 Hey folks So we have a small I would say not a small but an intimate group So if you're here and wanting to participate in this session, feel free to come closer that way I get to see your names talk to you one-on-one perfect perfect. That's right Don't be shy Ryan If you come up closer, you'll be able to actually ask questions We can have a nice conversation too and then stragglers from the back if you're interested in just Getting a good sense of how cloud is could be used to power and work with these cool electric scooters Feel free to come up as well. Anyway, I'm joined today by Peter Lee Peter hi Yeah, can we turn Peter on as well because we're gonna chat back and forth awesome So I'm the Garkusham. I am the helium HB helium marketing lead We're good. Okay and Today we're talking about something that's related to a way you can build out cool experiences with Irby and cloud now some of you may have not seen Irby has you has anybody seen Irby before an electric scooter like this No, well today and at this conference. You'll see a few people riding around here in this building and right across the street we have at least 67 more Irby's that's right, and we have a lot of fun going on there And the reason why we brought Irby and cloud together HP cloud is because we're trying to think about a way to To demonstrate how you can use cloud to solve complex enterprise problems So when you think about transportation and you think about something like an electric scooter You'd say well, what does cloud have to do with it, right? Like you think about it. This is a scooter This is cloud. What does open stack have to do with it? Well, here's a couple of thoughts one is We have a very clean slick engineering pristine design. How many years did you guys spend coming up with it? It's taken us about two and a half years to design and develop the Irby We've has multiple design and utility patents on it. It's made out of aircraft grade aluminum and carbon fiber It's all produced in California and our goal was to make something super compact a very durable durable We wanted a range of 20 miles a speed of 15 miles per hour And something that would just be able to be used on an everyday basis for people who live in cities all over the world And it folds up like this and it's really simple to get around so durable Some of these terms like durable Well-designed this applies to helium open-stack as well. This is our Open-stack distribution from HPE helium and when we think about HPE helium We actually think about enterprise grade durability a lot of thought put into working with customers to understand How customers are using our product? Well, the same could be said about Irby So we're talking about durability. What's the how big can you be and still ride the the Irby? So the biggest guy we've had on the Irby is Shaquille O'Neal. He rode one of our first prototypes And it was amazing, you know, we use 6061 T6 aircraft grade aluminum So the ability for something this lightweight to hold that much weight is incredible and people have been using it all over the world in very very rigorous environments and And it's held up really well. So in our case our cloud holds up very well so when we're thinking about sort of from product standpoint We want to make sure that our cloud can stand up a lot of stress We're able to monitor operations of HPE helium cloud with the operations console We call it HPE helium ups console very creative name But you're able to see in one place a lot of data coming from Monitoring at scale monaska project lock stash being able to aggregate this information and see the performance of underlying The end now all this is being kind of boring way of pitching our cloud But what I was actually interested in doing is talking about how we think about Putting this electric scooter Irby and the cloud together. So when we're thinking about also Designing with something like portability flexibility ease of use. That's what we do as well with helium HP open stack But when we start to think about a way to mash up cloud together it actually happened at another conference I walked walked into the store Irby store in Pasadena and I had a conversation with Peter and his team saying hey guys Do you have a cool electric scooter? What can we do with it? Can we add something to it? for example a camera a GPS unit a raspberry pi that is able to take data such as telemetry data battery life accelerometer Any other components any other sensors because at that time I was building an IOT demo and we had all these sensors laying around essentially being able to see a real-time performance of a scooter is no different than seeing real-time performance of your car like Tesla or if you have a any any kind of fleet Trucks for example, you're able to see where they are etc. I know it just occurred to me This would be a cool way for us to test out a scenario with Irby So what we did is we said hey we're gonna put a bunch of sensors on an Irby and Then we're gonna wrap it all with cloud and when I say cloud it actually is not just one cloud We actually have helium open-stack private cloud. We also use Azure We use cloud foundry for dashboards and all of this became the Irby experience that we actually have In at to at open-stack. In fact, you get to ride these and we're thinking about like what it what can what are the real-time real-life Applications one is fleet management. So you guys have hotels that use it, right? Yeah when we built the Irby We were just solving the pain points of living in cities that last mile solution that that ability to use public transportation And then go to your work or have a meeting or eat with somebody Outside in a city where parking is really hard And so we built that the Irby to be very compact and lightweight and portable And then when we started selling the product to consumers businesses started contacting us hotels delivery services like companies like an Instacart dash Real estate companies that own multiple properties all over New York and Boston and Chicago and LA and San Francisco And they said look, you know This is amazing that we can have a product like this that we can allow our tenants and guests to get around cities much easier Without an Uber without a lift without a taxi because it folds up so easily They can cruise out anywhere 20 miles in range and then all of a sudden put the Irby into an Uber or a lift or a taxi multiple three four Irby's and then come back to a hotel and you're fine you have total freedom and Then they said well, how do we manage this and we said? Well, there's certain little Consumer products like tile and GPS systems, but then when we met with HPE they said look this is something that's really Actually perfect for a cloud system that could allow Corporations and businesses both small and big to really track how far their product is going how far the Irby is going where the where the Pain points of fleet management and we said this is really amazing and then we started getting people who are using it on movie studios and Resorts and other places like that and in not only in the US But Singapore and in Korea, so Korea Tokyo London Paris And there's a huge need for this type of product to do that solves the last mile But there's also a huge need for cloud technology to allow people to intelligently manage this on a very seamless basis so so when you think about an Uber and tracking car location when you think about a Delivery of shipments so ordering from Amazon and tracking where your package is it's the same kind of problem We're solving it very creatively. So you see a dashboard here. It's it's running. No GS HTML 5 canvas On cloud foundry, which runs on helium open stack again. It's an open stack distribution that supports the entire platform We added a camera. So we essentially have cameras that are able to stream video Live stream it into Swift object storage. So when you think about open stack and a way to Capture streaming data. It's very cost efficient But at the same time when you think about a taxier or a lift or Or a truck and you have a video camera you at the same time one privacy You don't want to you don't want to have necessarily concerns around public cloud and storing sensitive customer information Such as delivery information somewhere in the public cloud So we've tested out some of these scenarios and found them to be very kind of cool We also decided to put together a fun little challenge And it's a essentially it's a delivery challenge There's a little bit of a quiz a little bit of a riding the Irby really fast around cones and all of that is at the At the textile lounge Across the street from the convention. In fact, if you walk right across out of those doors During a break you can test ride the Irby. You can also see how we build out this challenge. You actually see here a RFID based delivery system So every time you ride up to one of these plates, you're able to scan a specific badge. It's our FID technology We feed that into a data stream and into rabbit MQ running an open stack And then we're able to then aggregate the data and see a dashboard of competitors that are competing for the fastest time around the Lap and for the most answered question so you can actually see the leader board in the back end and Background and you can see a guy that's riding really fast around So bottom line is we wanted to show just a little bit of a snippet of what's possible when you take something which is really awesome design electric scooter that has a great great set of utility and then combine that with a Cloud technology that's able to take data battery life data GPS location data sensors and Be able to integrate it together for a really truly enterprise great experience And that's essentially what Irby has done with HP Helium now I know we have a couple more minutes left you guys are welcome come up to take a look maybe even just Yeah, you can ride it gently right around here. Yeah right around here something without crashing into much many things and ask us questions We're here Eric you want to ride I can see Guys any questions at this point coming up and ask us I'd actually like to take one one second one one off one thing that what we love about HP What they've done is they've added a lot of sensors every single one of these holes and not only lightens the frame But it also is an attachment point for accessories like the iPhone and the app store We created Irby as just a solid platform for Innovators and designers to create products that allows the Irby to match people's lives a better Anything from like a physical product like a better yoga mat holder a better basket a better cup holder a better sensor Sister better tracking a fleet GPS system. This is what Irby is all about And we can do that really rapidly quickly because we build them all in California. So Thanks. Yeah, thanks. Yeah. All right guys questions You can come for a ride up here
