Can you smell it? The smell and the air of a brand new arc, a brand new beginning. Welcome back to this channel, my name is Jack the Buster, I'm Shinobi. We are on episode 57580 of One Piece, and this begins punk hazard on Crunchyroll. We finished off Fishman Island, but now we're off. I don't know where to or what's going on, but we're in the new world now, so things gotta get wacky, right? We're gonna hop right into it, see what's up. If you're new to this channel, don't forget to drop a sub. You can still catch us on, we're basically halfway through this journey. I think, I don't know, we may not even be halfway, to be honest. And let's get started. There's a new world! Why is he still rocking the beetle hair? Is it just his chaos hair? Nothing's impossible in the new world, baby. A red sea. No one points it. Wait, why? Wait, so they definitely shouldn't land there. It looks fun! Is there even anything there? How do you know it's too peculiar for the new world? You just got here! Oh man, we're already off track. Sea on fire! Oh, it's killing the fish too. An emergency signal. Oh. Oh! I love how emergency signal is like, the snail's actually crying. A navy trap. I mean, Smoker could be near, we saw him already, a tease of him. Bro, I did defy himself immediately! I don't know, this person actually sounds in danger. The boss. I'm not the boss. Samurai. I like how Zoro perked up. Is Punk Hazard this island? Oh, well ripped. Dude, I like how the snail like, limps over.  Dude, him saying the boss gives me like, crocodile vibes. Speaking of Samurai, what? What? Oh, that's only where Samurai are from? The swordsman called Samurai. Oh, Zoro's itching, bro. Yeah, uh, friggin, Ryuma, that was his name. He was from Wano. So Samurai are notably from Wano only. Like, Samurai can't be from anywhere else? Or is it just like really high chances they're from Wano? Ah, Samurai can be nice, I think. I mean, Ryuma was chill. I mean, he was our enemy, but like in death he was chill. Oh, a rain ship. Bro, what are these islands? Oh wait, they were listening in. Oh, shoot. Oh, shoot. So it wasn't the navy, for sure, but it's still going to be someone trapping him. Oh, shoot. Smokers getting involved. The sword instance, they sealed it. Oh, what happened four years ago? It seemed like there was like an explosion or something. It's a restricted area. Yeah, bro, where do you get off telling smoker what's not and isn't isn't allowed? What is that island, man? With a lightning? What are any of these islands? How do you even get on the island? Okay, well, Luffy's definitely going. Oh, Luffy and Frankie adventure. That could be a cute dynamic. I mean, Frankie was sidelined for a lot of fish man, too. Chopper wants him to like hunger games in his little, his little paw. Okay, Usa, I'm definitely going. He's taking everything on it. Oh. Zoro, Robin, Usa? That's a cute group. At least Chopper didn't get it. He's so dramatic, man. Oh my gosh. Oh, a bento. What? She's making a path all the way there? Bro, that's sick. Oh, the Milky Road. Wait, actually, though. Oh, I like the drawback to Skypea, too. So they're just going to take Mini Mary all the way there. He's already eating the bento. Oh my gosh. Recon team. Man, I wanted Frankie to go. She knows he needs to be cheered on. Mini Mary, it makes me miss Mary. At least we still have her in some form. That's what I'm saying, though. Yeah, if it expires, how do they get back across? I want to see what the actual island looks like. It's just flames. It's a gate. They're actually all eating their lunches already. I like all the sweat on the floor. I like all the sweat on them, too. It's a good detail. They didn't have to do that, but it shows how hot it actually is. I mean, they're going right over flames. This is what I had two years ago. Ah, the fear of a new Nile Endosis. I forgot about that one. You got this, Hoosop. You're a brave warrior of the sea now. Oh, it literally just says punk hazard. It's actually, like, officially named. What did this used to be? I like, dude, I like this mystery. Like, it could be anything. Like, Fishman Island, we had a good idea of what we were going into. Like, it was literally Fishman Island. I don't even know what punk hazard is.  And why is there a samurai here? Yeah, it's sealed off by the government. And the Navy. I feel like the flames, I don't know if they're manufactured, though, to, like, keep people out. Ain't no gate keeping him out, baby. Man, it was a cool sign. Good. Oh, gosh. Oh, no. Well, Luffy's just stripping, Robin. I was a little baited. Not gonna lie. I've already challenged the government, Hoosop. My god! Get it together, man! They're gonna, like, overheat, man. Oh, my gosh! It was four years ago. Has it been burning ever since whatever happened four years ago? There's no way, man. Oh, my gosh. Kind of like government facilities. Maybe it was something the government wanted hidden, so they blew it up and then they shut it down. The facilities were hazardous because it's called punk hazard. Actually, true. Yeah, the light poles, they didn't point to it. So many questions. Where could this guy have possibly been? Like, everything's just on fire. Nobody's just hanging out here. He's stress-eating now. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Malice now said it's cold. Oh, I thought he meant more like death was cold, but yeah, I guess no, that doesn't make sense. Why would he say it's cold? Yeah, that's what I was saying, Robin.  The light leaving my body. What is that sound? What? Strange above the sky, above the sky. Arctic sky is like the other side of the island, like, cold? Like half as hot, half as cold? What? And it's dead. Oh, it's just, yeah, it's skull. Oh, my gosh. Wait, no, something's moving. What? An animal! It actually exists? I'm guessing whatever this thing is ate the other thing? Oh, my God, the MT Rex? Oh, no, it has wings. It does look like a dinosaur, though. Oh, it's a dragon! Dracon! Yo, it's sick, though. It's beautiful. How did they not see this coming? Maybe the dragon is, like, spraying flames down? I don't know. 580, let's go. The mystery of punk hazard has me intrigued. Of course, Olivia just thinks it's cool. I mean, hockey for creatures? Couldn't he kind of, like... I'm not saying he's on, like, episode 2 shanks level, but, like, how much control does he have over this thing? It's huge, but... It's actually enormous. Why is it just chilling here? And did the government know this was here? He's so giddy. I'm just gonna, like, try to eat him, bro. It's a... Nani? How does it talk? Well, I mean, I guess chopper, you know. But chopper has the human-human fruit. How does this thing speak, bro? Oh, wait. Can he... Wait, can he only hear it because of hockey? Or is it similar to, like, the thing in Fishman Island where he could hear the sea kings? I'm pretty sure that's a dragon, Usopp. What? What thing defies a dragon? Yeah, those are, like, body giant wings? The big old horns? The only thing that's missing is breathing fire! Fingo! I think that was similar since Usopp didn't hear it. I'm guessing the other two didn't either. Similar to the thing in Fishman. Luffy just has some innate ability to hear, like, creatures. I don't know. Look, it's not every creature. It's just, like, big, powerful ones. It's not like he just hears every fish that swims by. My goodness. Punc Hazard gets more and more intriguing as the seconds go by. Luffy's so excited. He's kind of cute.  He's got kind of a goofy face to him.  I like how Luffy can do that with just the arm, but I kind of miss the pose, man. I mean, he doesn't have to do the pose, but... He only does just the arm now. Oh, this poor dragon. He's gonna whip back.  He's gonna whip back.  He's enormous. And it's literally, like they said, a mythical creature. I feel like Zoro could just slice this thing up.  There could be some benefit to leaving it alive. I don't know. Like I said, he's kind of cute. Like his little face. He's already provoked! Ah, that's a sick shot. I love that. Oh, Zoro! Oh, wait. Usopp heard him, too. Why else would he have said what? So, wait, they both heard him now. He said, I've seen your presence? Yeah. Okay, so it wasn't the thing from Fishman.  Whoa, dude. I was gonna say, he could slice them up. He's exaggerating how strong this dragon is. Did it knock him out? Almost. Oh, my gosh. This thing is insane. Maybe I overestimated Zoro. Oh, for a second, I was like, what if a blade breaks? That would be heartbreaking. Yeah, man. I was like, there's nothing post-Time Skips or what we can't do. Here we are. Oh, shoot. Luffy's pissed. God dang. He's actually angry. Aw, Portra Gone. Oh. Yeah. I think it was subbed in too, like I said. I mean, I don't think they're gonna be able to take this thing down. Oh, wait. Is he leaving? Or is he just taking to the skies for combat? Oh, no, no, yummy. He's taking to the skies for combat. He's gonna start breathing fire down on him. Oh, my God, Luffy. It is pretty cool. Oh, he keeps saying boo. How's the seven warlords? So they have something to do with this? What? That's a very specific question. Like, he's enemies of those that are allies with the seven warlords. Well, right now, aren't there only like four warlords or something following Marine Vord? Blackbeard, quit. Who knows the state- Get my beloved Gecko Moria, Zen. Jimbae, quit. I don't even know if Boa quit, to be honest. You pick Ice Cream Chopper. I guess it cools him down. That makes sense. But it's just like perma-melting. Yeah, just to keep him cool.  What? Oh, no. It's like a scuba diver? That's what that sounds like. Like a scuba thing. I love brook so much. Optimism at its finest. Something is like sneaking onto the ship, I think. I don't know if I should be worried yet or not. Like, it could be someone weak. The sky is divided. That is interesting. Half is hot, half is cold. This isn't where a Kainu and Alkegi fought, right? Oh. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. That's the only thing I can think of, because a Kainu and Alkegi fought on an island, but they said the incident happened four years ago. But couldn't this still be where they fought? Oh, they're seeing the dragon. Dude. Dude. This is not the Navy. One million percent. They wouldn't do something like this. Chopper! Can chopper not smell it? Oh, man. If they can barely see it or smell it, that's pretty OP. Oh, they're not scuba masks. It was gas masks for this. Who are you? They are cutting units. Oh, my gosh. They look like the guys from Monster's Inc. They're like yellow suits with a one. Oh. Dude, punk hazard just gets more convoluted. I mean, we've met a dragon. After the crew is, I think, being kidnapped, I'm here for it. It's hot. The dragon said something again.  I love the chaos of One Piece, though. You just don't find it anywhere else. Seems like it. Yeah. I feel like one of them messed with him. So he just associates all of the warlords as being bad. But wouldn't he just associate the government as being bad? Why would he specifically say warlords? That boy's the warlord. Get in there, baby. Get in there.  All this fire just reminds me of this. Wait, what? Ain't no way, Luffy. I bet, man. It's filled with fire. What? What is that? Is somebody stuck in him? Those are feet kicking. Strange, but it's cool here. What? Wait, he's saying boo like the dragon says. What is happening, man? How is he just stuck in the dragon, though? That doesn't make sense. The talking voice was the guy? What is going on, man? Is the guy controlling the dragon because he says boo, too? Or did he just hear the guy yell boo and they thought it was the dragon? Dragon wings are for dinner, baby. Oh, he's actually eating it. Why is he chewing? Why? Why is he doing that? There's no way it took him that long to realize it. There is absolutely no way. Bro, this is gonna fall. Oh, no! Dragon! Oh, no. Zorz is gonna roll this poor thing. He's not controlling the dragon. The dragon is definitely alive and sentient. I mean, he may be controlling him even if he is alive. Tell me it's like a launch pad. Oh, it is. Yes, I forgot he has this. It's beautiful. The combination move. Teamwork! Zorz is like a tornado. It's not really cutting into him, though. Got the light delivered.   Oh, my God! What?  He beheaded him. Oh, my... Oh, he... Crow, my bad, Zorro. My bad, bro. Holy goddamn! Jesus. Oh, my... Those giant hands. I want them to hold me. Oh, no! The poor dragon. This mythical creature is dead. And... What happened? Who's kidnapping them? Wait, he's in the kitchen. Oh, my gosh! Oh, no. He's gonna pass out, too. Oh, yeah. Wait, they're all just unconscious still. Yeah, they must not be able to see the vapor. It's just for us. Because he would have recognized it right away. The hem, it just looks like they're sleeping. Or funsies. Oh, no. Okay, there's like a light fall. Oh, no, he's out. Man, he worked so hard on those dishes. Oh, make it back inside! Get inside, Sanji! Nope. Nope. I can see why you'd think that, though. Bingo. No. He's barely not gonna make it. Or they won't pick up. I mean, they're kind of busy right now, Loki. And the crew is split up again. Oh, they have pHs on them, like punk hazard. There's something fishy going on here, bro. That one has a sword! Like, whatever happened four years ago was planned. It's gotta be the government, man. I'd just, I'd just save to assume. No, wait! The smoker was like, nah, that's been sealed off. Unless it's something above Smoker's pay grade. Like, he doesn't even know, like, something that the government's doing here. I don't know, man. This is juicy as hell, though. Holy. That's quite the voice. And they're pet! All kind of units doing a roll call. Hmm. But he doesn't know that there's already some on the island. Man, couldn't they just assume they see the Milky Road and be like, oh, people have probably made it there already. The master! Woo! It's good juicy! Alright, so the entrance to punk hazard is not a quiet one by any means. Half our crew is fighting a dragon, just beheaded it. And the other half is getting kidnapped, taken to the master. I love just the introduction of the island and not knowing what's going on, not even knowing what the island is. And especially in the way that, like, I feel very anxious about just the world right now and how much underlying things could be going on with the government, with the emperors, the warlords, everything. There's so much that we know about the world now and characters that we know that it can use that as just, like, mystery. Even if it ends up being something brand new that we don't even know any of the characters involved or anything, it still is in the back of my mind that anybody at any time could inherently show up and have an impact. That's the best part about One Piece, where 500-plus episodes deep, it can use everything it's built up up until this point in that way. And these mystery beginnings are the best showing of that. But I love the start to the arc, there's so much mystery, I'm excited to see the rest. If you're new to the channel, don't forget to drop a sub so you don't see my reaction to the rest. And I'll catch you guys in the next one. Peace, peace.


Live from San Francisco. It's theCUBE, covering Oracle Open World 2016. Brought to you by Oracle. Now, here's your host, John Furrier and Peter Burris. Hey, welcome back everyone. We are live here in San Francisco for Oracle World 2016. It's the Silicon Angles theCUBE, our flagship program. We go out to the events and extract the signal from the noise. I'm John Furrier, co-CEO of Silicon Angle Media with Peter Burris, Head of Research for Silicon Angle Media. Also the GM of Wikimonde Research. Our next guest is Chad Kenny, VP and CTO of Pure Storage and Sarah Stewart, who's the Vice Worldwide Sales Lead for Oracle, almost called you the Vice President, but you're the Worldwide Sales Lead. Welcome to theCUBE. Thanks for having us. Thanks for having us. So I wish we had the better camera angle because your booth is right there, pure. It would be a nice backdrop for the nice orange, the recognizable orange. You know Pure Storage, you know that orange is their colors. You get some orange in you, so you're good, you pass the corporate test. I almost went with the full orange suit, but a little too much, I don't know. So tell us what's going on. I'll see you guys. Very successful company, Wentpublic. Scott Dietz, probably one of the most fan, fabulous entrepreneurs on the planet. Remember it was my first interview with him when he started Pure. All flash storage. That's the future. Never once wavered.  Stayed on his message. Stayed on the mission. Wentpublic, congratulations. What's new, give us the update. What's new? It's been a great run. We've been growing like a weed, and we're at 93% growth here over here, doing incredibly well in the market. Going back to the overall recipe, which was let's make storage simple, make it economic, and make it super fast so you can harness the overall data. So it's just been overall great for us, just to put our new product, the FlashBlade, and been doing great with Cisco as a partner of ours and our FlashEx solution. You know, you've had some help along the way. EMC, kind of like Donald Trump, I won't say Donald Trump of storage. They've helped you in. I mean, I thought of that business where Sun said, a lot of the older technology. So there was some good market share. You got some nice space there. But you guys really took off. It wasn't a one-trick pony. Could you just share for a minute why you guys weren't a one-trick pony and how Flash stayed relevant? So it really was all about disrupting this market. It was right for disruption. I mean, it was old antiquated technology that wasn't keeping up with even the consumer space and was really taking advantage of Flash today and doing it in a way that allowed them instant access to data. The difference here is that we changed the game around economics. We incorporated a lot of in-line data-reducing feature sets with in-line D2 compression pattern removal. Was able to get Flash out to the masses and be a quick plug-and-play to your traditional storage array that was out there. And so we had great traction in that space and we're continuing to expand that now into kind of the unstructured file container-based space with our Flash play planning. So really bringing Flash to the masses and allowing you to harness the data in a highly simplistic, resilient and secure methodology. Sarah, so what's your role in this? You're a use case proof point for Pure. Talk about what you do and why it's relevant to your world. Yeah, definitely. So at Cisco, we're looking to grow our business around data center and we realized that it's really all about the application. So we looked at Oracle and what customers were looking to do with their products and how they could deploy them in a faster, simpler method. And with Cisco's UCS, our stateless computing, our Nexus platform, and then Pure slash storage, we're able to create this great solution that was very easy to deploy for customers. It's based on a Cisco validated design, which is easy to deploy. It's almost, you can think of it like a recipe. So we give you the ingredients, what to buy, and the directions on how to actually create it so you don't have to worry about leaving something out or having got to use once you're starting to deploy the solution. So we really wanted to make it very simple for our customers to deploy a solution. So I've got to ask you on that line. Cisco customers are very well known for being, I won't say finicky, but they're also like, it's got to be a certain way that they've been based a lot on Cisco. Why the success with Pure? Why is it working? What's some of the things you're hearing and why it works so well? Well, I think the success happens, we really listen to our customers and what they were looking to get out of a solution. And it's just not another solution with another storage vendor. They were really looking for something that again was easy to deploy and repeatable process. And I think the validated design and then the management to wrap it all together. We have something called UCS Director that can actually manage the Pure Storage, the Cisco compute, the network, and we're able to actually deploy applications and create really a product catalog or service catalog that your end users can go in and deploy applications on top of the flash stack. And customers really enjoy that. One of the things that's most interesting about flash storage is that the access times are so fast that a lot of applications can access the same storage at the same time. Obviously that's great for a company that has their pedigree networking because you want to see data moving around a lot. So talk a little bit about how the ability to access data from anywhere through a lot of different interfaces, APIs, Pure One, for example, is starting to affect the way developers, storage, networking, server people think differently about data. Yeah, so proliferating the analytics outside the data stack itself has been huge with Pure One to be able to actually get access to information and even manage the data sets in a much more intuitive fashion. I think it's been way too complex, way too proprietary in the past. Down to the actual infrastructure itself, the great part here is it's 100% flash. Low latency, fast access, really quick. Be able to move all of your applications onto a single platform has been huge because it reduces the complexity for one. Typically you had to architect things and really separate them out so they didn't contend with each other. Flash is great where you can put it all in one big pool and every application gets great access. And when you incorporate data reducing feature sets like data for compression and all the other fun stuff, the data set actually, bigger is better, it reduces itself further and gives you overall better economics. And so we're just continuing to evolve this beyond the storage stack so that we can not only integrate with our partners as Cisco with UCS director and make the workflows fully automated and orchestrated, very cloud-centric like most folks like, but also be able to provide the great analytics that people want in order to be able to understand what's going on in their storage environment and be able to make better decisions overall. UCS had made a lot of great moves with the servers. We've interviewed many times and network servers go great together. Now you get the storage angle here with Pure. Is that, that's the trend to bring everything kind of converged in. Is that the driver for this? Is that some of the main force here? Yeah, I would say customers were looking at converged infrastructure because they wanted something that was easier to manage. And again, we put together this validated design so it was like a building block. So you can start small with just one application and then quickly scale out. And again, that's what customers are looking for when they're looking at moving to the cloud is they want agility, something that's very scalable. And with this architecture, we have that. And Cisco, we put in 40 gig design so we're able to take advantage of the flash storage and really get that fast access to our servers and to the storage. All right, so what's next? I mean, I'm just envisioning, I'm hearing Larry Ellison talk about in-memory. Is it going to be a pure memory product coming soon? I mean, especially seeing a lot of focus on speed going really, really kind of down to cost-wise getting lower and lower, but the speeds are getting faster and faster and the need for real time, internet of things, whatever use cases are emerging. What's the next? So we're continuing to evolve the product itself into the next generations of flash memory, which give you better overall performance density. Even though all flash solutions are still required for in-memory based databases, when it goes beyond the DRAM, you're going to need to pull the data back in a sub millisecond latency type result. So they pair very, very well as technologies together. But at some point in time, our customer's going to look at this and say, I'm more interested in my data as an asset than the underlying devices and the way to get access to them. Do you see the industry starting to focus on data assets and how well these technologies and networking storage provide access and reuse of those? Yes, so I think with our FlashBlade product, you'll see even more so where you're disconnecting the data itself from the actual application and being able to run applications against it in a highly distributed kind of key value store type concept. And so that'll be big for big data analytics, internet of things and next gen applications. For the more traditional database applications, FlashArray has still been a really good use case for that. You can proliferate the information out and across multiple different applications through clones, snapshots and various other stuff. But people are looking for more of that converged architecture to be able to deploy across and be able to move everything for all of your different applications onto one platform. So Sarah, take a minute to talk about these reference architectures. Is it just a technology statement? Is it also a way of thinking about the tasks to deploy resources appropriately? How far does it go? So it's the technology and how you deploy it. So again, we've tested it in Cisco's lab, so we have all the equipment, we have the pure storage, we have all the different networking and the server environment and we do stress tests and actually deploy the different applications on top of it. So we make sure that when you're a customer and you deploy the solution, if you follow like our blueprint or like I said before, kind of the recipe, the cook stuck by step directions, we actually tell you how to deploy it. And we work in the best practices. So we've already done the trial and error for you as the customer. So you don't have to worry that when you set this up it's not going to give you the results. You might have to go back and buy more hard drives from our memory. We've already said, hey, this is validated for this application and these are the results you're going to get. So it takes a lot of the error guessing out from the customer deployments. And this has gotten a lot of traction out there. We have over 900 customers deployed across 26 countries. It's growing at about 157% year over year for us. So people are loving the fact that they can deploy this in a very repeatable, simplistic fashion versus the more rigid models of doing the same thing or versus building your own. And having partners being able to deploy this in a consistent fashion is a huge win for customers. Well, you know the old expression pets, cattle and someone's had another one for, I've looked at the data center. Pets, take care of your pets, the servers. Now you treat it like cattle, which is bulk of recipes. And now you've got serverless right around the corner which is going to be a very interesting technology trend. So I'd love to get you guys' thoughts on how all this relates to Oracle customers. We're here at Oracle Open World. What's the top things that you're hearing from those guys? Can you stack rank the top three use cases? Is it speed, is it performing integration? And then look at that at moving train with Oracle going to the cloud. How do you guys ensure customers get what they need and what are they asking for? So I think it goes back to the main recipe which is make things simple to deploy. So we started there. There's no complexity on how you deploy it. There's no management complexity, no tiering, no cashing, all that kind of fun stuff. And... So setting up, configuring, managing it. It's gone. It's dead simple. Yeah, the stick of infrastructure being something you just don't think about it anymore. It's repeatable on how you deploy it through the Cisco Validata designs and the way, and we have an Oracle RAC CBD. It's repeatable in the way that you do it. The infrastructure is almost unmanaged. You don't need to manage it whatsoever. Self-galing, no configurations or performance configurations you need on it. And so you in essence create a sub-millisecond latency result to your application, harness the actual data sets that you have out there, and be able to do things faster. I mean, the business value of these types of solutions are, you can deploy things quick and you can get access to information much quicker than you ever did before. And what's Cisco's up to these days? I mean, obviously the world's changing for Cisco too. You guys are modernizing. Right. What's the update with Cisco? So for Cisco, we're really focused again on our applications and making sure the customer's application is on the best fit. So if it's in the cloud or if it's on-premise in a private cloud, we're also looking at making sure we're connecting everything. So Cisco is very big into the internet of things and making sure that all these new devices and applications are being able to talk to your data center. We're wrapping security around it. We're making sure we're getting those applications from the edge and connecting everything together. Because like you said before, customers are very interested in the data that they're producing and they want to make sure they have access to that and starting to create new insights from that data. So to be able to do analytics on the data from different sites, like an oil rig that you might have out and you can't send that all the way back to your main data center. But how do we connect that to data you might have on your pure storage in your data center and draw some kind of conclusions? What's the biggest business impact that you guys see with the solution for customers? Is it more productivity, stage time, more cash, more top line, bottom line, all the above? Can you just share some color around? So we pair it really into two things. The IT transformation side is really shrinking the overall cost model, making it easier to deploy and using less overall rock space, power cooling, all that kind of fun stuff. The stuff that excites me most is more on the business advantage, which is the reports that used to take weeks now take hours to seconds. People are monetizing this with new business lines. They're getting access to real time analytics that make a lot better decisions. We have companies like Nielson that used to do a 24 hour report. Now on an hourly basis, they can apply and monetize these new reports to customers. You don't see the fear of, oh my God, job security? Are they being too much work to do? They'd be ready to deploy somewhere else. I think they're moving upwards in the stack.  It was a game of having to manage complexity. If you can move away from that, you can start to show higher value into the business. Sarah, are the younger IT people really thinking like that? That's an old kind of ageism thing. All the people stuck in their system management job, I don't want to change, I know how to provision servers and network storage, or do the young people don't care, they'll go where the action is. Are you seeing a trend, a regional trend? I mean, I do see the trend, like we were just talking about, I think the infrastructure has never been that exciting and it's really about the application and creating real business value, because just because we come out with a new solution, like faster storage or faster networking, customers aren't going to move to that unless we actually show value for their application. So again, more availability, can it bring the company actual return on investment and true value to create that? I think that's where people are going. I agree, super exciting. But at the end of the day, in this cloud technology transition, the best technology will still win.  Right. At the end of the day. Agreed, yeah. Well, thanks so much for spending the time. Congratulations to your Cisco, great to see you and to see you in other CUBE events. Guys, thanks for coming on and supporting theCUBE. Really appreciate it. It's theCUBE live here at Oracle Local World in San Francisco on the show floor. Big booth in the center of all the action here with Pure Storage and Cisco Systems. We're having more live coverage after this short break. When I had such a fantastic batting.


The IAEA has now finished its assessment of Japan's plans to release the water stored at the Fukushima Daiichi Power Plant. Our independent and comprehensive assessment confirms the plans to be in line with IAEA safety standards. The IAEA has published its findings in a report that was presented to the Japanese government. The report compiled findings from an independent IAEA safety review spanning two years. The water will be released from a tunnel a kilometre off the Japanese coast. As I promised, our work here is not yet over. Assessing a plan is not enough. My experts will come back to Fukushima repeatedly and for as long as the process takes to take samples at different locations and confirm the water remains safe. A clean ocean matters to us all. Since the crippling accident at Fukushima Daiichi in 2011, contaminated water containing radioactive particles has been stored in roughly 1,000 tanks at the site. The water contains a mix of contaminated groundwater and sea water from the accident and water used to cool the stricken reactors since. Through an advanced liquid processing system, or ALPs, this water is filtered to remove almost all radio nuclides but cannot remove tritium. Tritium is present in sea and drinking water, mainly from natural origin but also from human-made sources. In April 2021, Japan announced its decision to gradually discharge the treated water from the tanks into the sea. This will happen over the next decades once domestic regulators approve. Japan asked the International Atomic Energy Agency to conduct an independent scientific assessment of the plan in accordance with the internationally approved IAEA safety standards. We will work closely with Japan before, during and after the discharge of the water. Our cooperation and our presence will help build confidence in Japan and beyond that the water disposal is carried out without an adverse impact on human health and the environment. A task force was appointed with experts from IAEA staff as well as internationally-renowned nuclear safety experts from 11 countries. The safety review conducted by the task force was on three main parts. The first one was on technical aspect, the second on regulatory activities, and the last part of the review was dedicated to environmental and monitoring aspect. Japan has developed a system for purifying, diluting and releasing the water into the sea. Each step of this process was assessed by the task force. As a part of the safety assessment, the task force and its independent international expert visited Fukushima, the Aichi Nuka power station several times and in order to make on the ground assessment of the entire discharge process. Alps' treated water is transferred to the discharge facilities where, if needed, it is purified in a secondary treatment facility to bring the amount of radioactive material in the water below the limits set by regulatory standards, aside from tritium, which requires dilution to get below regulatory standards. The treated water is collected, analyzed again for many different radionuclides to confirm it meets national regulatory limits and prepared for release. A controlled level of water is transferred through pipes. Sea water from the surrounding area is pumped into the discharge system and used to dilute the treated water. The diluted treated water is sent through a one kilometer long tunnel and discharged within the zone restricted for commercial fishing since the 2011 accident. To help allay public concerns, Japan has decided to dilute the treated water until the tritium is at an extremely low level. One seventh of the standard the World Health Organization says is suitable for drinking water. The treated water is released into the sea is a controversial step for many people. From locals fearing the impact on their businesses to neighboring countries not wanting the water released into their backyards, there has been much debate about Japan's decision. Director-General Grossi has spent time talking with those concerned to hear their views and explain the science at the core of the agency's impartial review. As part of its review process, the IAEA is also conducting independent checks on the environmental impact of the water release. The agency has been verifying Japanese data on environmental monitoring in the area surrounding the Fukushima Daiichi plant since 2011. The IAEA will continue to check Japan's measurements of the water contained in the tanks that is ready for discharge, as well as seawater and fish samples from the surrounding environment during and after the release. This independent sampling and analysis is carried out by multiple IAEA laboratories, as well as by independent laboratories in countries such as China, France, the Republic of Korea, Switzerland and the United States to confirm the accuracy of Japan's monitoring work. The aim is to confirm that the data from Japan is comparable to the data that's produced by the other labs and to promote transparency and openness about this data. The IAEA's review does not provide authorization for Japan to release the water. That is the role of Japan's Nuclear Regulation Authority, the NRA. But the task force closely reviewed how the NRA conducted the regulatory process to ensure the approach is consistent with relevant IAEA safety standards. Reviewing safety at the site, monitoring the impact on the environment and assessing the national regulatory approval. The IAEA's comprehensive and independent safety review will continue for many decades, meeting Director General Grossi's commitment to be involved before, during and after the water is released.
