Blockchain will be as fundamental to digital infrastructure as TCP/IP was to the Internet. De-centralized & Distributed architectures will emerge in 2018 and become a lynchpin of application advanced models by 2020.
Subbu Allamaraju
False. Not as fundamental as TCP/IP.
John Furrier
@sallamar I'm True on this one. Lets debate :-) love this decentralized trend but I'm biased
Subbu Allamaraju
It may be nice building block for certain kinds of problems, but not as fundamental as TCP/IP. TCP/IP is like Oxygen for the Internet.
John Furrier
@rossrader said to me on my timeline:
"I’ve long said that blockchain is the first new piece of real internet infrastructure since http. Not quite true - things like WebRTC and much more - but this feels bigger somehow"
John Furrier
@sallamar I don't think #blockchain is an abstraction ontop of the internet but part of the infra

Still waiting to see broadly adopted use cases (beyond crypto) where distributed apps and shared ledger infrastructure trumps centralized app structures. But there are emerging signs: supply chain, media, gov records ...

AWS, Alibaba, Google continue to chew up public cloud IaaS and PaaS space. Microsoft gains share as well but comes down to earth. IBM finding its footing? True or False. Comment
ConsumingML
IaaS war, over. PaaS - just about over. SaaS - early innings. $MSFT and $IBM bring their software portfolios to bare.
ConsumingML
crazy prediction, $AMZN buys $IBM. Sells off GTS, GBS and keeps software and cloud to round out SaaS portfolio.
John Furrier
I think #Azure is sandbagging their numbers but they are hiding the ball from the market so who knows.
John Furrier
@Grant_Case IBM #AWS partnership should be in place look what #vmware did; IBM could punt cloudfoundry and go all in on AWS and Jassy's team
ConsumingML
Strategic ?, Remove IaaS lead. Why would anyone partner with $AMZN. They have knifed every comp and industry? From S/W to Media to Groceries to Retail to H/W. Is there a biz there not in or won't get in? Why I'm bullish on $MSFT and $IBM.
ConsumingML
agree on #Azure. They are everywhere now.
ConsumingML
Ultimately, $AMZN has not been an honest broker w/customers and partners. The big lead means they can be price makers now, but many customers waiting for a reasonable alt, IF it materializes.
Keith Townsend - Light will overcome darkness
@Grant_Case That's not too Crazy. My prediction was $AMZN buys $HPE for the edge support capabilities. Meg has done most of the hard work of divesting.
John Furrier
AWS and HPE that would be interesting
John Furrier
Big Data in the Public Cloud continues to grow rapidly and becomes a bigger story. True or False. Comment
Subbu Allamaraju
True. Data gravity is shifting rapidly.
John Furrier
@sallamar This was the question / prediction that was easy to give confidence :-)
ConsumingML
- Not so much a bigger story, but continuing one. Separation of storage and compute helps data move to the cloud.
yaron haviv
much data (iot, video) start and will stay at the edge, driving the intelligent (cloud) edge
