Q1: First, a current portrait: what technology has been the biggest winner in 2021?

Larry Lunetta
AI. Probably the cloud. Think of where we would be without Zoom and its equivalents. Pretty amazing that we could globally scale to remote work.
[-]
Sid Mistry
A1: AI has many use cases and is often used to support internal IT operations. Our 2021 State of AI report showed that 62% of organizations focused their AI efforts internally. This switch to practical applications shows that organizations are maturing.

James Maguire
@larry_lunetta To be sure, I'd even say #Cloud is the "winner" of the last decade
[-]
Ram Chakravarti
A1. Ubiquitous #AI, even though we are in the ANI, Artificial Narrow Intelligence era
[-]
Larry Lunetta
A1. Yes, but the edge and hybrid cloud are moving fast.
[-]
Kevin Coppins
A1. I have two answers - anything "work from home" - including hardware, software, video conferencing, desk chairs (yes - we all got new chairs) - 2, unfortunately, ransomware. Neither are sexy, both made headlines.
[-]
Bruce Kornfeld
A1 I'm going with GPUs. They are having a huge impact on what processing can be done for some new and very exciting use cases. Nvidia has been the biggest winner (obviously) in this space (sorry Intel).

James Maguire
@ktcoppins Ransomware! Ugh, you have a point!
[-]
James Maguire
@brucekornfeld Hardware is eating the world! :)
[-]
Bruce Kornfeld
yep! of course all the "fun" is in software - but those 1s and 0s need to run somewhere!
[-]
Larry Lunetta
A1. Take that A18H ;)
[-]
Bruce Kornfeld
@larry_lunetta 🤣
[-]
Bruce Kornfeld
@larry_lunetta Data created at the edge is actually growing much faster than cloud
[-]
James Maguire
@brucekornfeld @larry_lunetta The edge is eating the cloud, perhaps.
[-]
Larry Lunetta
@brucekornfeld A1. Absolutely agree and it will grow even faster with enhanced connectivity options like Wi Fi 6E.
[-]
Chris Ehrlich
Cloud for the win this year. Migrations continue as late adopters made moves in a larger remote economy.
James Maguire
Please: To address Q1, please begin your answer with "A1." Q2 = A2, etc. This helps us keep threads organized.

Hi @JamesMaguire - excited to be here #eweekchat
[-]
Bruce Kornfeld
Thanks for hosting! looking forward to a lively chat
[-]
Kevin Coppins
This should be fun - hopefully I can keep up! Great panel!
[-]
Bruce Kornfeld
@szisk Controversy is always good!
[-]
Stephen Zisk
@ktcoppins agree on both. Consumer tech and marketer tech are both huge at home.
[-]
Stephen Zisk
@ktcoppins on ransomware, as long as there are trusting people there will be scammers
[-]
Kevin Coppins
@szisk agreed - part of the problem as well is all of the people just trying to be good employees, doing their jobs in unfamiliar territory.
[-]
Stephen Zisk
@brucekornfeld A1 edge is in a weird spot since it's the "center" of smart houses and huge for supply chain
[-]
Stephen Zisk
@ktcoppins A2 on data security... if we don't keep a piece of data, it can't be stolen... will we move more to "small data"?
[-]
Kevin Coppins
@szisk getting this country to delete anything is a challenge... #hoarders
[-]
James Maguire
@ktcoppins Which means Storage is always hot!
[-]
Stephen Zisk
@jamesmaguire A3 surprised no one's mentioning 3rd-party cookies and all the tech that depends on them... maybe that faded in 2021?
[-]
Stephen Zisk
@RamChakravarti2 A3 If virtual meetings fade how does that interact with rise of AR/VR?
[-]
Stephen Zisk
@RamChakravarti2 Q3 will return to in-person have different timing in Europe or APAC?
[-]
Stephen Zisk
@RamChakravarti2 A4... agree on LC/NC, and I would add "self service" for things like data discovery, basic model build/test, dashboards.
[-]
Stephen Zisk
@larry_lunetta A5 Any moves towards automated shifting of workloads? Secure baseline in data centers with optimization of costs across multiple cloud and edge environments?
