VMware's vision for hybrid cloud is to unify many cloud services and bring them to customers in a unified cloud - CEO Pat Gelsinger on #theCUBE

The power of the cloud is it allows you to benefit from both the scale and economics of the technology. You can do that dynamically. You can rent the largest supercomputer ever built. - VMware CEO Pat Gelsinger on #theCUBE

The higher you are in the stack the more heterogeneity you can have. The lower you work, the more homogeneous you need to be. VMware CEO Pat Gelsinger on #theCUBE

The next generation of IoT will work through your smartphone. But those systems need to be managed and secured. We are building the environments to do that.VMware CEO Pat Gelsinger on #theCUBE

We see the container trend as bigger even than OpenStack. Vmware CEO Pat Gelsinger on #theCUBE

It is too hard & too slow today. The IT processes aren’t nimble, scalable, secure. Fundamental limiters are a light nimble infrastructure and north-bound APIs & an environment that takes advantage of those. Pat Gelsinger on #theCUBE

We need more programmers. We need more women programmers in particular. Half the population is being excluded. Pat Gelsinger on #theCUBE

Stanford now is almost 50% women in computer science. VMware CEO Pat Gelsinger on #theCUBE

Computer science is touching every field - modeling in economics, analyzing patient records in healthcare - VMware CEO Pat Gelsinger on #theCUBE

@andywarfield @cohodata on #theCUBE

Coho Data has good investors Andressen and Ignition Artale and Levine back together again

Announced $30 M in additional funding with HP and others.

top conversation at Coho is trending around technical deep details and SDN as part of the storage layer

This year we’ve seen the story with customers Is embracing change in the enterprise. NSX has grown like crazy, but SDN is still taking a long time. And storage is even harder. Coho CTO @AndyWarfield on #theCUBE from #VMworld 2015.

We are making it easy and cheap to build complicated storage systems. Coho Data CTO @AndyWarfield on #theCUBE at @VMworld 2015.

Latency flash storage will not be homogeneous. There will be a number of different flash speeds and ecosystems, including very low latency flash storage

We have moved away from packaging/reselling commodity hardware. We want to take the worry about all the new stuff away from customers. We make hardware changes every quarter. Coho CTO @AndyWarfield on #theCUBE from #VMworld 2015.

The architecture is specifically intended to mix and match. The high end is the fastest performance storage you can buy. Coho Data CTO @AndyWarfield on #theCUBE from #VMworld 2015.

I don’t see a hybrid cloud product. I don’t necessarily see a cloud product. It’s tools on the shelf. Rather than a hybrid cloud product I would see the notion of public and private going away. Coho Data CTO @AndyWarfield on #theCUBE from #VMworld 2015

mobile share of traffic globally is huge says Pat Gelsinger @pgelsinger

2015 2.9 connected devices per person;

Love Pat Gelsinger laying down the mega trends

App industry is bigger than hollywood #siliconvalley

IT is in the statosphere slide shows the connected challenge and opportunity; now IT is in your bloodstream - devices #IoT and any connected device now is an IT opportunity

by 2025 5 billion people will be connected

mobile cloud has enabled shared resources for a new set of unlimited asymmetrical environment; unlimited resources

every vertical being attacked by asymmetrical technical and business model

Asymmetry is ruling today's business. Upstarts against incumbents

innovate like a startup and deliver like an enterprise is what @pgelsinger is saying.

VMworld was great this year.

"We focus on storage for demanding workflows."

"We are here talking about our hybrid flash storage and solutions for protecting VM’s "

“Kick the Cartel” is our theme for the show. Customers feel locked in with the big storage vendors. One thing that differentiates Quantum is tiered storage geared to the customer’s needs. Ed Bassier of @QuantumCorp on #theCUBE from #VMworld

customers are dealing with more random workloads with our QXS hybrid flash storage line we can respond to those random workloads.Quantum's Eric Bassier on #theCUBE from @VMworld 2015

"We are really just scratching the service on #security companies." -@ping_accel @Accel LIVE on #theCUBE at #VMWORLD2015

"We invest in the entrepreneur." -@ping_accel @Accel LIVE on #theCUBE at #VMWORLD2015

"The new APX world is very exciting to us." - @ping_accel @Accel LIVE on #theCUBE at #VMWORLD2015

. @arianagradow Ping Li @ping_accel is doing great work at Accel Partners - he's out pounding the pavement every week; a great trait for all VCs to take note off

Vmworld ecosystem is dominated by storage vendors mostly

all flash arrays focused on SLA driven quality of service will dominate the tier-1 legacy environments

a distributed scale-out storage architecture with public cloud ease-of-use will dominate for both legacy tier-2 applications and the newer born-in-the-cloud application suites

Wikibon research is showing that over 50%+ of the market for Public Cloud (e.g. Service Providers) is so fragmented that it's classified as "other", so big opportunities still available for Software-Defined Storage in cloud

Wikibon research is projecting that Enterprise Server SAN and Hyperscale Server SAN with BOTH be $10B markets by 2018-2019

Market opportunities in storage for emerging technologies; OpenStack storage still doesn't have a clear winner yet. Storage for Containers is just beginning to evolve. Huge opportunity for disruptive companies

cheers for that John - great discussion, plenty of fodder for us to chew over.

Offer storage-as-a-service with the reliability & security of enterprise storage and the flexibility of the cloud. We provide systems both on-premise and from the cloud. Zadara Storage CEO Nelson Nahum @NNahum on #theCUBE

We provide our storage as a service, cutting customer CapEx. We also reduce OpEx because we manage the hardware. If something needs to be replaced we replace it. In our business we have to win the customer every day. Zadara Storage CEO Nelson Nahum

Because we do multenancy we fit well with SaaS and IaaS providers who themselves are multitenant. We have a large service provider in Europe who uses us for their storage-as-a-service offering. Zandara CEO Nelson Nahum @NNahum on #theCUBE

When we started in 2011 we saw that most AWS customers were internet companies. Over time we saw increasing numbers of enterprises doing things on AWS and Azure as well. For us it is very good. We prefer to compete with AWS rather than EMC. Nelson Nahum

Zadara is the only vendor on the floor selling storage-as-a-service. Wikibon's David Vellante #DVellante on #theCUBE

We don’t need worldwide sales. We can solve a problem in minutes. If a customer has a drive failure on site we replace it immediately with a cloud drive. Zadara Storage CEO Nelson Nahum on #theCUBE
