Hello learners, I am Dr. Sudeesh Rupa-Pharali and in this video I am going to talk about Flin's classification of computer architecture. This is a part of the topic Introduction to Computer and part of the course Computer Fundamentals. Computer architecture has been classified into four categories according to Flin's classification which is based upon the number of concurrent instruction or control streams and data streams that are available in the architecture. There are four categories in Flin's classification of computer architecture. The four categories are single instruction stream and single data stream that is SISD, single instruction stream and multiple data stream that will be SIMD, multiple instruction streams but single data stream that will be MISD and multiple instruction stream and multiple data streams that will be MIMD. Let us look at the first architecture that is the single instruction stream and single data stream or SISD. This is a sequential computer which exploits no parallelism in either the instruction or the data streams. There is a single control unit which fetches single instruction stream from memory. The control unit then generates appropriate control signals to direct the single processing element to operate on the single data stream that is one operation at a time. Examples of SISD architecture are the traditional uniprocessor machines like older personal computers. The next architecture is a single instruction stream but multiple data streams or SIMD. Here it includes computers which exploits multiple data streams against the single instruction stream to perform operations in a parallel manner. For example an array processors or graphic processing unit. The next architecture is the multiple instruction stream single data stream or MISD architecture. Here multiple instructions operate on one data stream. This is an uncommon architecture which is generally used for fault tolerance. The space subtle flight control computer is an example of this architecture. The fourth and the last architecture is the multiple instruction stream multiple data stream or MIMD. Here multiple autonomous processors simultaneously execute different instructions on different data. MIMD architectures include multi-core superscalar processors and distributed systems using either one shared memory space or a distributed memory space. Let us look at the different applications of computers. Computers are used in various areas like science, education, health and medicine, engineering and entertainment. In the areas of science, computers are used to carry out their research works based on complex computations. Now this is done because of the computer's fast speed and accuracy. In the area of education, computers are used nowadays in schools and colleges and this is done to make learning more interesting. In the areas of health and medicine also, computers are rapidly being used. This is done starting from diagnosing illness to monitoring a patient's status. These computers are used for surgery in pathological analysis in CAT scans, MRI scans and many other uses. In engineering also, computers are used. Engineers and architects are using computers in designing machineries and drawing design layouts. Computers are also increasingly used in the field of entertainment. With the use of multimedia facilities, computers are now greatly used in the entertainment industry. Computers are used to bring in spatial effects on images, sound and animation. Some other areas of computer applications are communication, business and banking. Computer network and the internet have brought about drastic changes in the communication system. Through email, it is possible to send messages and reports very fast from one person to another or to a group of persons. In business and banking too, computers have a very large role. Nowadays, more and more persons are coming up and using the online internal banking facility. Also, in order to deposit or withdraw cash from bank, we can now use ATM services which are available 24 hours a day. Through the computer networks, among different branches of a bank, inter-branched transactions can also be carried out without delay. Thank you for listening to this video.

from Seattle, Washington. It's theCUBE, covering KubeCon and CloudNativeCon North America 2018. Brought to you by Red Hat, the CloudNative Computing Foundation and its ecosystem partners. Hey, welcome back everyone. Live Kube coverage here at KubeCon, CloudNativeCon 2018 in Seattle. I'm Chef Horace Dude Miniman, hosting three days of coverage, wall-to-wall, 8,000 people doubled from last year in North America, expanding into China, Europe, everywhere. The CNCF is expanding, so is Kubernetes. The rise of Kubernetes has spawned the CloudNative movement going mainstream. That's ecosystem-driven. We got a great guest here, Stephen Bauer. Data and Analytics Infrastructure Lead at Bloomberg featured them on SiliconANGLE.com in one of our special reports. End user using Kubernetes and the variety of CloudNative. Stephen, welcome to theCUBE. Thank you for having me. Thanks for coming on. Award-winning end user. Given all the end users, everyone's kind of award-winning. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Congratulations. Bloomberg's known, we've covered you guys, great development team. You guys have a lot of engineers at Bloomberg as well as being a media company on cable, Bloomberg Terminal, everything else. You got a lot of data science, you got a lot of engineers, you're building stuff. What's the focus on Kubernetes? Where are you using it? How are you contributing? What's the dynamic? Why are you winning with Kubernetes? Sure, that's a good question. I think, well, we're using it all over the place and lots of different things, right? We have a huge engineering team that does all kinds of different things. So in the area that I manage, data analytics infrastructure, we've basically managed databases and search engines and all kinds of other tech like that. What we've ended up realizing is that we built something that looks a lot like Kubernetes, but doesn't work nearly as well for all of those different systems to manage them at scale, right? So we're talking thousands of instances of Postgres and Solar and all kinds of different things and having a single tool or a single platform which we can kind of level up all of those things really makes a lot of sense in terms of not necessarily cutting costs and things like that, because that's actually not as interesting to me as actually allowing the teams that manage those things to actually contribute to those projects, contribute to Solar or Postgres and stuff like that and free them from having to spend a lot of time managing infrastructure. Tim Hocken said it was just on the cube here before you came on from Google, one of the co-leads on Kubernetes at GKE, Google's at cloud. He said, something interesting, I want to get your reaction to this. One of the benefits of Kubernetes is to give the confidence that deployments are going to be reliable and that confidence gets a flywheel and then people start shipping more as a matter of course of the business, not like, oh my God, we got to push a new code. Oh my God, fingers crossed, trust the button. The old model was, you know, fingers crossed, go, QA, no, no, confidence. The confidence and the iteration. Is that where you see in the value too? Does that relate to you? Does that make sense to you? Does that resonate with you? Yeah, I mean, it definitely does. A lot of the models that we're trying to move to is a really declarative model of both how we develop software and then how we deploy software and then how we manage it in production and Kubernetes kind of offers that ecosystem across the board and that's been really, I don't think of a great way to put this, but being able to have that tool and being able to do that and the repeatability in the world that I live in, everything we do, we don't do one of it. We do, I think we run something like 2,000 solar clusters. So all we're doing all day long is just stamping out the same thing over and over again and if I can build one system that does that really cleanly and simply and then I can use that same system for running Postgres or running something else, that gives us the confidence. We can test it, we can run it on our laptops. Our developers can develop and do all that kind of stuff and it works the same everywhere they go and we can just rinse, lather, repeat. So Steve, I want to step back for a second. Your infrastructure, is this all Bloomberg data centers? Is it, how does cloud fit into the discussion? Yeah, I mean, we do have some infrastructure running in the cloud, but primarily it's all on-prem and data center. In my world, it's all on metal because we have all these data systems that need direct access to SSDs and NME and all this kind of stuff. Can you give us, without sharing safe secrets, a little bit of the scale of what you're doing? I love data's at the center of what you're doing there. We all understand how important data is to your business but talk about what the requirements are that, is to, why you have some special requirements that the typical enterprise wouldn't. Sure, I mean, I think, you can look at Bloomberg as a media company. We have news, we obviously have the Bloomberg terminal and really what drives that terminal, it's all kinds of software, but in the end it's data, right? And it's all kinds of data. And that, what is the definition of big data and all these whatever stuff that everyone was pitching five years ago. We have all of those problems. We have data that is moving at millions of ticks a second. We have enormous data sets. We have really complex data sets like, oh, people scanning court filings from tiny little courts all around the country and sending that data in and we have to normalize that and put it into, so all these crazy different types of information, so they are both demanding in terms of the complexities of parsing data and putting them and structuring them into those systems as well as the scale. So we have some pretty enormous and high performance systems that require us and kind of drive us to that need for the metal and very focused on performance in all different aspects. Great, I wonder, give us your engagement with this ecosystem here, you know? One of the big questions coming in is, okay, so Kubernetes, the thing we hear from the CNTF is, well, it's getting kind of boring and I don't know that I agree with the term. I understand they're saying it's becoming mature and therefore there's less drama around it, which is good, but this ecosystem is anything but boring and you ask a user like yourself, you've got complex requirements, there's like more than 30 different projects here. What do you use out of here? What do you build yourself? What do you contribute to? How do you consider open source contributions? So it's a big nut and we don't have a ton of time but if you can scratch the surface on some of those. I think the number one lesson that I've learned from this ecosystem is that it's moving so rapidly that when we decide to build something on our own, we have a talk tomorrow about our data science platform which we built about a year and a half, two years ago. By the time we were ready to talk about it and everything like that, you have all the different technologies that have moved forward. So it's made us realize that if we're going to start something internally, a new project, either A, we should go look and see what's out there and contribute to that, or we should just start it in open source to begin with, rather than like, oh, let's build it and then we'll open source it. Chasing your tail kind of thing. Yeah, it's like, we have to become part of the ecosystem like in our entirety. That's pretty much a good question. I want to ask you this in context of thinking about your peers that might not be as progressive as Bloomberg on the tech side. You guys certainly do a great job and well documented. Classic IT shop, I mean, racking and stacking servers and boxes and now we've got the whole digital transformation thing going on, same old, same old. But now, 2019, real impact. The investments they're making on how to change their IT, their data is now in front of them. They have to deal with it. This is the right front and center because companies are realizing they're going to go out of business if they don't actually make the adoption. The data is super valuable. So how do you see the Kubernetes and the CNCF ecosystem changing the investment practices of a classic enterprise IT? Your peers called you and said, hey, Stephen, hey, help me out. What's the secret playbook? Where do I go? I don't want to get you out. I got to make some changes. And what do they change? What's the impact of the investment with Kubernetes? What's the real impact? I think, I mean, it's a tough thing, right? Cause Bloomberg is really not like your typical IT shop, right? We are a software company at heart, right? And so that makes us a little bit different when I talked to other people. I say that in the sense that like, not a lot of companies can afford to like decide to make a product open. Because they outsourced everything. Right? They outsourced everything. I think that's actually a huge change though, right? Like we're not sitting here talking about hundreds of commercial products that are, you know, owned by a small handful of vendors that are multimillion dollar investments for everything we're doing. We're talking about lots of little, tiny companies that have products that are really, really valuable, that are in the open source world, that we can get our hands on and start working with before we even make a decision about talking about support or, you know, whatever. There's all kinds of technologies that, you know, I walk into this room and, you know, these are like, they're like friends all around. Cause like we've worked with all the software and we're like, hey, these guys have a company now. This was just a GitHub repo a couple of years ago. And I think that that's a big change, like embracing that. I think that's probably really hard for your typical kind of IT shop where they want to have this clear line of, you know, I can call tech support and get some out on the phone. And that's like the main, you know. The classic old software model. Yeah. But it's changed. Yeah, so Steve, one of the things we're trying to get some insight on here is it's not just running Kubernetes in production. It's what am I doing with it? How does that change my business? Understand ML is a big piece of what you're doing there. Give us some insight as to, you know, how does this transform your business? Does it transform your business? I mean, specifically on the ML side, and like they'll talk about this, actually that's kind of the focus of our talk tomorrow.  You know, if you ask an ML person what they really want, they want like an infinitely scalable cluster that they, it's just theirs. And they want an essay to manage all the infrastructure for them and a data engineer to manage the, you know, cleaning up all the data and all these things. And they wanted that all to themselves and not have to share it with anyone else. And so, you know, a lot of what we tried to figure out is like how we can actually deliver that to them. And it really is transformed.  And they're actually like, they went from kind of being skeptical of a system that they had to share and things like that. Because it actually just works. Like that, and that's really the- That's really the dopamine effect for them. Where you can see value without having to go through the slogging of the configurations and the normal stuff that they had to do. Yeah, authentication, you know. So we've been hearing threads of, you know, the CICD pipeline is a big benefit which you're kind of seeing as well. Below, we're also seeing people building below, Kubernetes, seeing storage and networking, getting better. How do you see that holistically? I mean, you're seeing as network more performant, the notion of programability becomes now part of it, automation, software, right? So now everyone has to build software. In fact, I talked to the VP of Technology Innovation at Proctor & Gamble and he's saying, hey, we outsourced everything, I got to start hiring software. So maybe not as big as Bloomberg, but the trend is let's get more software people on board. But they still got network, they still got storage, they still got the gear. What's the impact under the hood? Yeah, I think it's complex, right? Because you typically have these structures that are built inside companies, right? Where you have a networking team and you have infrastructure, hardware team and whatever. One of the SREs on my team the other day, he was like, do you think we can talk to the network team about putting software on their switches? Right, like that's a really interesting question to start asking. He actually had a really good use case, like that makes a lot of sense, like maybe we should think about that. And then dealing with, there's obviously the technology aspect of that, but there's also like skill sets, right?  It's used to a typical CICD process and things like that. And the other flip side, well, that's cool that he recognizes the networking guy, but we heard Tim Hopkins say there's a lot of policy knobs in Kubernetes that the networking guys could potentially take advantage of. So it might work the other way. Are the network guys looking at Kubernetes saying, hey, are they not yet that sophisticated? But, I mean, they would love, they love policy. Network guys love policy.  It's actually one of the biggest draws of using Kubernetes in our ecosystem. We've made heavy use of applying network policy down to the workload level, which means that from a security perspective, if I know that I'm transiting data between two different places and I've only opened up assets for that one application, for that one particular use case, rather than saying, well, I know that I'm running the same workload on the same box and I got to open it up for everyone in that box, but maybe someone might use that thing, but maybe they won't and worrying about stuff like that. It's like, no, I can run a workload and I know that these are the only two endpoints that it can talk to. Oh, that's a relief. I mean, that's like, hey, we're done. For them, this is their panacea. I know exactly what workloads are doing exactly what on the network and what they're capable of. So that's been, especially for our data science workload. That's real progress. That's progress. Oh, it's huge progress, yeah. I've been able to do things that we used to not be able to do for years. Talk about the, okay. I just had a quick little question there. You mentioned you've got an SREs there. When did you pick that up as a term that you call there? And how do you see kind of, if you talk a little bit to the skill set and the jobs of people that you have inside? Sure, yeah. Boomers are a big company, so the terminology of it and what actually individual teams are doing is probably a little bit varied across the organization. It's been something that's come in over probably the last two to three years at Bloomberg. In my organization, it was actually really interesting because when I started off with, you read the Google book and whatever. What I did is I went to the guys on my team that were going to become the SREs for the organization and I had them write this manifesto about how we should build and deploy and manage software. And I didn't tell them necessarily up front that this is what was going to happen, but when they finished writing that and agreed that this is how things should work and they argued for a while, I said, okay, now go build all the tooling to make this easy for people to do, right? And that's what we, and then they've just been building out the tooling. Turns out like when you're working with a lot of the tools in the CNCF and then with Kubernetes, that's actually not that hard. Like there's lots of things there that are just easy when you get to that place. And so like that's the kind of journey we've been on to really try to build that infrastructure and they've done a good job and the engineers downstream of them have the speed that they're able to develop and the assurance that like, there was a CVE for Kubernetes two weeks ago and we patched it the afternoon that the CVE came out. Like being able to do that and any sort of company of scale is, I've worked a lot of banking and stuff like that in my past and it's unheard of to be able to deploy things in that speed. And that's really, I mean, this is the goodness of clouds, the goodness of having, you know, that kind of consistency operationally. It's funny you use SRE, it's a Google term, it's a great term. You got developers, you got operations, kind of working together now that's the magic. Well, Stephen, thanks so much for sharing this great insight on theCUBE, certainly great value for the folks watching. A lot of traction, a lot of people and users contributing and consuming Kubernetes, building around it, great trend. It's really fun to watch, a lot of composable services up and down the stack. So congratulations. Steve Bauer, Data Analytics Infrastructure Lead at Bloomberg, it's theCUBE bringing you all the action. Sharing the data here at KubeCon, this is theCUBE, we'll be right back with more after this short break.


Okay, we're back here live at HP Discover 2012 in Europe and Germany. I'm John Furrier, the founder of SiliconANGLE.com. This is theCUBE, our flagship program and go out to events where the action is extract the signal from the noise. This is part of our SiliconANGLE.tv. Independent editorial coverage. We love going to the events. This is our third HP Discover and we'd love to talk to anyone who's got the signal from the noise and my guest here is a good friend of SiliconANGLE and also social media buddy on Twitter, Sam Johnson at SamJ. Sam, welcome back to theCUBE. John, good to see you.  You've been on theCUBE before. Also, you're what we call a tech athlete.  Obviously in social media, you have a great fan base. You're part of the Twitterati and the Clouderati and very active. So it's great to see you and great to have you on theCUBE. You've also worked at Google and their data center storage servers, all that good stuff and now at Equinox doing a lot of, you know about data centers. We don't want to drill into the whole Google thing because I know confidentially a lot of stuff there, but I do want to pick your brain for this talk here at HP Discover to try to kind of extract the signal from the noise here. And obviously HP as a company has a black eye right now. Destruction of stock value is well documented.  But outside of that, you know, that putting that aside, HP's got some really cool technology and they're playing in a lot of big areas. Obviously they're big data part of autonomy and some other parts of the group.  And so they're poised for a comeback, on my opinion. Some people may debate that, but happy to do that on another forum. But I want to talk to you about the data center because that's where the action is. On the consumer web, as you know, on Twitter, RIP, Frothy Times, TechCrunch wrote an article. Oh, it's the world's crashing. Well, their world's crashing. The consumer web is kind of going through a thinning of the herd, as they say, in the VC market to the consumer wraps or more lifestyle business. Not a lot of Facebook's out there left. But on the enterprise side, it's booming. A lot of reconstruction, a lot of transformation, a lot of build out going on, real business being done. And the action's really at the data center.  So let's drill on that. So what's your take on the data center?  And that was Game Changer. Cisco kind of fell back out of their chair. That on the networking side certainly raises some eyebrows. You've got hypervisor vendors. You have independent people like HP who are agnostic on the hypervisor. You've got enterprises. You've got software defined blank. Everything's now software defined. The queue we can call software defined media. I don't know, it sounds good, but a lot of hype. Where's the signal from that hype? I think at the end of the day, in terms of HP's place in all of this, when you walk through the data center, and especially in any of the enterprise cages and so on, you'll often see a lot of HP kit, both in the compute side and in the networking side as well. In terms of what's going on in computing, I mean cloud really is the transition from product to service. That's really, when you boil it down, that's what's going on. And that's a fundamental shift for a lot of vendors. Some are doing a better job of it than others. You see vendors like Microsoft and so on who traditionally have offered software as a product and now offering software as a service. You get these new generation of vendors like Salesforce who actually have always offered software as a service. So it's a very interesting place to be. The analogy I use, people complain about this, is about electricity. We used to buy electricity as a product, now we buy it as a service. And those who are worth their salt will still exist in the new world order, I guess, and those who aren't will go and move on to other things. So there's a couple of key trends that we're following at SiliconANGLE Keep On. One is obviously people are building their own stuff. So all the large scale infrastructure guys like Facebook and Google and Amazon now, we've been reported following Google's footsteps are building their own, right? Because there's no one's delivering anything. And we've heard stories of vendor, big vendor, X got booted out because they build their own equipment. Not a lot of banks or anyone will do that, but eventually that's an indicator of what's happening in the marketplace. How do you take what Facebook, Google and Amazon are doing from a quote, business model perspective, and how does that translate to someone who's buying gear in an enterprise, a big bank, big healthcare, these big industries, they're not going to build their own data centers. They're going to outsource here, they're going to have a hybrid, they're going to have some private cloud. What does that tell us about what's going on in the data center? Yeah, I think what we're doing is moving a lot from heterogeneous systems to homogenous systems. So you'll see racks where everything in the rack is the same. Whereas 10 years ago you'd look in a rack and there'd be five or 10 different logos. Another trend is that, I guess one of the enablers for that is that we're now putting reliability into the software rather than the hardware. Because while it may cost millions of dollars to build a platform like the Google platform or the Facebook platform, once you've built it once, the marginal cost of that is zero. Whereas the marginal cost of reliable hardware is linear. The more reliable servers you have, the bigger you get, the more it costs. So I think that that's one of the things that these, I guess the pioneers like your Googles and Amazons and so on have created, but it is also available through software like Hadoop and through commodity PC hardware and so on and it is actually available to these customers now. And they're increasingly starting to use that as well. I want to ask you a question, just kind of change. And we'll come back to some of the data center conversation. You're on Twitter, very vocal. Fun to follow because you get good content as well as some entertainment as we say on Twitter. It's always fun to have those conversations. But there's a lot of hype. I mean, you see the gimmicks all left and right and from a marketing perspective, company, you know, I'm the leader in this and in marketing all these new concepts. What's your take on that? I mean, obviously, from the perspective of we're in a massively changing marketplace, you don't really need to market well, market craziness when there's massive demand. So the question is, what do you think of some of the marketing out there and where is the real demand happening in the marketplace? Is it everything, apps, mobile, cloud? So marketing hype and gimmicks to what company should be doing where the real demand is? Yeah, I think what you hear people talking about versus what people are actually doing are two very different things. I also think that a lot of the marketing is kind of misplaced. So no SQL, for example, and big data are, if anything, misnomers. But there is still this big shift and I'd call it more of an evolution rather than a revolution. I mean, big data in itself really is looking at data in different ways such that you need to re-engineer your systems to handle the volume, velocity, or variety of that information. Similarly, no SQL, it had nothing to do with SQL. It was all about the relational structure of databases. And we're starting to see not only companies like your Googles and Facebooks and so on, but then also companies like Netflix or rolling out Facebook's Cassandra. That stuff is starting to penetrate the enterprise as well. A lot of enterprises have Hadoop up and running. And so, again, very interesting to see what people are actually doing rather than what they're talking about. Let's talk about Amazon for a minute because obviously they just had their Invent Conference. NetApp just announced a deal with Amazon, which is allowing some storage on that, which might be a nice pathway for some hybrid for NetApp as they kind of try to kind of change the rules a little bit of the game. What should take of Amazon? Obviously we had Adrian on the Cube at Cassandra Summit and he was telling me that he had the SSD version of the cloud. So what's going on with Amazon? How does it relate to some of the more practical reliability and security issues that people need in the enterprise? Well, I think that at the end of the day, your availability is your problem. You own your availability. If you can use software like Cassandra and so on to be able to leverage systems like Amazon, that's great. But really the way that IT is going is a hybrid IT. So, if you ask Gartner, they say that the hybrid IT is the new IT and it's here to stay. What we mean by that is using legacy when it's appropriate, using private cloud when it's appropriate and using public cloud as well. And what I spend a lot of my time doing is actually working out across over 100 data centers around the world. How do we connect this stuff together? How do we enable customers, companies to connect to public cloud providers and back into their head and branch offices and make all of that work seamlessly? So let's talk about agile IT. I was just talking with Tom Norton who's at HP Global Services. And he's awesome and he just had a great conversation around big data and how he's delivering to customers and essentially what we were talking about was the businesses are driving the requirements to IT kind of like they used to but now at a larger scale. So IT has to be always on and turn key and push buttons. So they have to be very responsive. How do you build an IT organization?  I mean, because you want to turn on some public cloud, you push a button. I want to have a hybrid cloud or I want to turn on a mobile app. But I want to have to do a huge DevOps roll out. But I have DevOps. So there's a lot of moving parts here. How do you look at that and how do you advise companies? So I think one of the big trends you need to look at is deprimitrization. So what that means is the old ways have an office and build a fire all around it and you had to come in nine to five to access the IT systems. Nowadays, even the smallest of companies maybe you've seen the HSBC ad with the lemonade stand. Even the smallest of companies are multinational. They deal in multiple currencies and they, to quote the CIO of Bechtel, he talks about rather than pulling the network to the data, I'll put the data where the network is. I don't, for my first year or two at Equinix I never actually had to connect to the LAN or the WAN. Everything I did was through a cloud desktop. I could log in, go into Salesforce and so on from there without having to dial in. That was really helpful. We've just got an expense reporting application now I do have to connect to the LAN for the first time. So I'm not very happy about that but I think that's a very important thing is enabling people to work from home, enabling people to work from their own devices I think is a very important trend which isn't just hype. And moving the center of gravity of the IT to the center of gravity of the user base which is effectively out there on the internet. How much reconstruction does IT need to go through in your opinion over the next decade from where it is today to be truly agile? So I think that the, we're looking at the second major paradigm shift in IT. The first being from mainframes to client server, the second being from client server to cloud. And in order to do that, you need to move, virtualization isn't just about hardware it's about storage and networking and so on and eventually about data centers as well. So I think the best thing to do is to establish a homogenous private cloud architecture in a multi-tenant data center and then start migrating applications over to it. Connect out to public providers like Google and Salesforce and Amazon and so on when you have to. But use the right tool for the job. I think that's the best way to do it. Let's talk about applications because obviously I totally agree with you that transformation mainframe client server you had computing and you had apps. Granted they were on top of those platforms. Now you have cloud which is a whole not a level of infrastructure conversations so I'm going to find data center, et cetera, et cetera but now apps are mobile and we mentioned expensive ports everything on top of that. What's going on in your opinion at the app level right now? How early is it? What are the key issues? Is it still Clujie? What's your view on that? So 20 years ago you'd look to businesses to see what was coming next. Faxes, international director, they had it first. They had the money, they had the infrastructure. Nowadays to look at what's happening next we look at the consumers. This is the consumerization of IT. So we look at things like Skype and Facebook and so on. If we look at Gmail and Facebook versus say Microsoft Outlook it's a completely different interface. It's all web based. It's delivered from a global platform of servers. It's high performance. It's highly secure. It's highly available. That's the difference. Let's talk about another disruption area. Outsourcing, obviously HP is a huge outsourcing. They took the write down on EDS which is they swallowed that thing and had to let a lot of it out. A lot of hot air in that deal.  Capgemini is some of the big names I've interviewed on theCUBE and those are big monster companies. And then we've got guys like Randy Bias, the cloud scaling friends of ours that are building these startups boutiques that are going to grow and be the new guys. So let's talk about the new architecture of outsourcing or managed services. What do you think of that? I mean what's your, because it's, you got the old way kind of the Capgemini. I want to run everything for you and then that doesn't really give you a lot of flexibility and then you're going to have a lot of more of the nimble guys. What's your take on that whole market of outsourcing and any predictions you can share? Well I think we used to talk about application service providers and the problem with that was that you'd have somebody else running your IT in the same fashion that you were using the same technology at the same scale, single tenant, but then charging you like a premium on top of that utility premium if you like. And this didn't really add a whole lot of value but if you moved to like for example a generic service like email, you moved to a service like Microsoft Office 365. They get the economies of scale, you've got your multi-tenancy. So that's kind of I guess the end game of outsourcing, right? You don't have to have people running servers and doing backups and all this stuff. Running email is not something at the end of the day which gives you a competitive advantage. So the people in the IT who are worth their salt really will go on to applying IT to business problems rather than this $8 in 10 of keeping the lights off. So I think it's a natural progression. So it's about the business value. Exactly. Right, final question for you is your take on software defined networking. Obviously the NSEER acquisition caught everyone off guard really, it's category now and not a lot of research out there, not a lot of data. I mean, I was talking to someone and we have, oh I think we have the best data on that category through our unique proprietary tool that we built but you know, you can't just call a survey house and say hey, give me a panel on what people think about software defined networking. It's so new and so disruptive and emerging is not a lot of data on that. So I want to get your opinion. What do you think of software defined networking and how that relates to what HP's talking about here which is software defined servers and software defined now storage as David Scott announced yesterday. So HP's looking solid there but specifically the networking. That's a big part of it. What's your take on that? So I think virtualization was a big deal for hardware. I think virtualization in networking is a big deal as well. It certainly is interesting for dealing with those kind of edge applications like storage where you need to have the high performance and so on. There's a lot, Ethernet is a non-deterministic network so you need to have a whole lot of things around that to make that work properly with applications like storage. I spend a lot of my time working on how to connect these cloud components together and a lot of that is through network virtualization, things like VLANs and so on. So you can currently come into the Equinix marketplace and find a cloud provider but how do you actually connect to them? That's I think where a lot of the value is in wiring all of these hybrid IT systems together. Actually I have one more final question. I think we have a little more time here. I just want to drill into the virtualization. Obviously virtualization, let's take VMware for instance as a random example. I mean, start out as a completely different company and then now it's morphed into a completely different direction. A lot of speculation around what's going on there. They're still doing well. But what's happened in virtualization that has caught you off guard or that you've predicted? And then the second half of the question is what do you think of virtualization going forward? How that will morph? So can't it tell me what you think you got right about the virtualization market and what caught you off guard? Wow, I didn't think that would happen, if anything. And then how it morphs going forward? Yeah, so I think the main thing that's happening in virtualization is the commoditization of the hypervisor. There's a bunch of different ones. Now you can't really get any value from selling a hypervisor. A lot of the activity there is in these cloud management platforms. I think though that the big one that's kind of got me is in the standardization of it. You know, I've been established the open cloud initiative and so on. So this is a big area of interest for me. I kind of worry that we're going in the direction where we'll end up with a word document of the cloud. So I would really like to see us focus more on- What do you mean by that? Well, you had Office 97, Service Pack 2, and you could only open that word document if you wanted it to work properly on Office 97 with Service Pack 2. You had a bunch of open office and stuff but if you tried to transfer the documents it never really kind of worked properly. And I worry that we'll have the same thing in the cloud space. And I really would rather not see that. Relative to the hypervisor or apps? Well, I mean it's mostly about the height of the virtual machine format and so on. But what I'd really like to see are going back to the hybrid IT side of things. It's one thing if you can connect all of this stuff together, but I want to be able to seamlessly, like literally drag and drop or ideally automate the migration of a virtual machine from a private, you know, on-premise or hosted infrastructure to a public cloud provider like Amazon and vice versa. I think that's a very important question. Well, that's David Scott was pointing to that and I know there's a lot of work going on University of Illinois around kind of, with compiler technology around virtual support ability. Well, one of the things that I'm working on is like an SMTP for the cloud, but for cloud workloads, like a simple workload transfer protocol. So watch this space, we might come up with something interesting. Okay, at Sam Jay is his Twitter handle, at Sam Jay, follow him on Twitter, great person to know, doing some great cutting-edge work.
