Bernie former DB guy, moved into SW def storage

Global data a big part of Bernie Spang's view it's about data distribution; new technologies for new generation workloads #theCUBE

"It’s all about data," says Bernie Sprang on #theCUBE. "The management, protection. ease of availability & performance of data is critical."

Software defined meets #opensource are changing the game - modernizing the infrastructure and IT; the modern era with "performance enhancing IT"

SDN is first phase of #SDDC now it moves to how to utilize storage; next it's virtualizing environments which is elastic storage..

IBM's answer to competition is they build from ground up across all products; thats unique; so they are faster; additionally integrated tech separates from competition; sw defined adjustments-- that is their pitch

IBM said it shipped 82PBs of flash in 2013 and Jaimie Thomas talked about 100TB - EMC said it shipped 17TB in Q1 2014

Mike Kuhn indicates that the true value is to move business decisions to realtime #IBMEdge #IBMStorage

IBM shipped 82 PB of flash over 5 qtrs over 100 PB this puts #IBM at #1 @EMCworld talked about 72 PB -- IBM winning

A lot of technology is available, lots of people are developing pieces but it is about making it all work together says Michael Kuhn.

Gartner expected to release numbers showing IBM #1 in flash --interesting

Going to be interesting to see the leaderboard evolve@furrier!

The flash storage market growing 10X faster than the overall stdorage marketplace says Michael Kuhn.

Flash -- Enabling the things that were previously impossible....to possible -- Mike Kuhn @IBMStorage #IBMEdge

Innovation at the chip level helps us stay ahead of the curve - Mike Kuhn @IBMStorage #IBMStorage #IBMEdge

social data is first class citizen in the "engagement systems" #crowdeconomy #crowdchat

via @zachbraiker @furrier @mainframeblog when did companies have "full control" of their brands?

gr8 pt @zachbraiker this time thought with 100% measurement now they know they don't control their brand..welcome to the Crowd Economy #crowdbiz #crowdchat

Will the software support 28GB micro SDs?

that @matteastwood guy is from east coast he's calls it as he sees it

Nice picture @matteastwood @furrier - In 9 years you'd think it would be even more!

Flash in the datacenter increasing capacity will change the game on compute, storage, and networking just add virtualization

Wood Hutsell @appicu has a pretty long history in the flash memory business

With the costs dropping dramatically, it gives us the opportunity to serve more customers with this technology - Woody Hutsell @appicu #IBMEdge #IBMStorage

Flash provides amazing latency benefits says Woody Hutsell on #theCUBE

Flash changes everything via @pbookman you are quoted in my CrowdChat. Would like if you'd join. http://twitter.com/p...

hey @pbookman welcome aboard the Flash Cruise Ship

Thanks ;) Love this platform and discussion. Happy to be here :)

Love that I can watch #theCUBE and virtually participate in #IBMEdge while I'm in London and its half the world away. Great stuff!

"Flash makes real time possible" Mike Kuhn Its been fun to watch the cloud powered by flash emerge.

Customer is very impressed with the entire refresh of the #storage portfolio #softwaredefined #IBMEdge

Gone are the days when we'd watch things happen and have to wait for vendors to give us what we need says @ksr_swamy

love the "gain sharing" than BNY Mellon uses - they get a fixed budget and if they're underbudget they can fund their own initiatives

Software-defined takes away the concept that applications had that “This is my server, this is my network, this is my storage," says Swami Kocherlakota on #theCUBE.
