Hi there welcome to today's products and focus the US 30 there is office highs yesterday as you can see from yesterday's candle We actually had an all-time high 17 7 3 8 only to then close significantly lower And the US markets is actually underperforming the European markets I've got a shot in the arm after yesterday's very positive ZDW business report, which be even the most billish of estimates So short-term potential the support remains at 15 5 4 8 potential resistance there obviously 17 7 3 7 So looking at the UK 100 actually it's come off a little bit today actually But the last couple sessions been very very billish We are in the middle of two ranges potential resistance at 67 74 potential support at 6 6 6 6 Technical indicators are over bought and actually just about getting a signal to sell in the RSI just now We are seeing declining of MACD histogram there, but not yet a crossover There will be support right here But we are seeing a little bit of selling on the UK 100 as the UK market has just opened up mailing the back of mining stocks You see real tend to was actually down a little bit there today already So as the commodity prices are getting hit hard over so you came on hundred has a fair amount of Commodities to sell stocks out there, so that's worth bearing in mind moving in Japan to do five We had a failure to break 17 4 3 5 We do know they're gonna have snap elections in Japan We do know that there is gonna be no increase in the consumption tax for Japan It just now depends on how much popularity they exist in Japanese government half and if they've over Thought their popularity out there We have seen some very good moves in dolly in overnight 117 spot 32 is for it currently is But that might put a little bit of a cap on Japan to do five the uncertainty as to You know that the snap elections do come to what majority Shenzhou Abe's government will actually go ahead and get So looking at dollar yam Great momentum right here next time potential next potential resistance 124 42 Potential support remains at 114 spot 74 But just remember the closer we get to 120 that's where the bank of Japan said they might intervene in their currency You could be looking at 150 200 point move should they intervene and you don't want to be on the wrong side of that So this is kind of the danger zone though the longer term potential resistance that remains 124 42 so cruel with Texas and Moving to the downside below $75 eyeing up next potential support at 70 spot 41 Short-term potential support will be here at the tip of this can learn about 73 52 And we do have crude oil inventories due today at 330 UK time actually looking at some of you the data that's due out Later on today. We do have some interesting things to go ahead and have a look at We'll check that in a second. So looking at gold what we do also have here is Some interesting moves from a technical perspective. We do have some breakouts actually happening here We are moving in the right direction. I'll be away from yesterday's tip of the highs We're trading above that 21 period SMA, but we are trading between two ranges So potential resistance at 1218 and potential support at 1180. Okay, so moving on to your dollar as well Your doll had a shot in the arm after the Strong City W report yesterday trading above one spot 24 98 or one spot 25 Next potential resistance one spot 26 61 We are hugging that 21 period SMA right now, but the other technicals are relatively neutral So should we continue to get good news from from Europe? We might be able to have a retest But it's all dependent on what comes out from the jobless claims in the US. There's lots of US data due tomorrow actually Okay, so now that we've logged back onto the platform out there What I really wanted to do to get the chance to have a have a look at was what economic data is due out today Today is Wednesday. So we do have Some UK bits we do hit this is cruel on the trees, but we will actually have a huge amount until Thursday Where we've got loads. We've got UK retail sales. We've got CPI from the US. We've got jobless claims in the US We've got Business at the XRV loads of economic data You can have a big impact on on your dollar cable and some of the other global markets as well And if we actually finish up there by having a quick look there at cable We brought below one spot 5742 we are looking at the next potential support one spot 54 24 And we're trading the middle of two ranges right now. So pressure remains technicals are oversold out the signal to Potential reversal has not yet come in. So the pressure remains for GBP USD as ever keep your eye on the chart form To get the potential precepts from a global analyst team make insights part of your late going forward and join me again tomorrow to find out what happened next


I mentioned Pramila, executive member of Bangladesh Indigenous Peoples Forum, I from Bangladesh. I support Indigenous people because Indigenous peoples have the belief that illness appears because human injured the nature. Before taking or receiving any element of nature, one has to go in front of it and pray. The spirit of Indigenous life is not consumption. It is protection for the progress of nature. Thank you.


VR is dead, AR ate it and has an equally murky future. Did we give VR last rights as tech crunch implies? I think there's a lot more time for VR. And in terms of AR, I feel like they want us to be everywhere with their technology. And you can only do that if you can walk around without bumping into the stuff. I look at this to be more like tablets. For the longest time, people are like, tablets, they're interesting. Microsoft makes one, bunch of other people make one, but what are they good for? Apple came along, made one with its amazing touchscreen technology, and suddenly people found uses for them. But I feel like headsets are not dying. We just are still in the bulky tablet stage. We haven't got to the nice thin touchscreen tablet stage of headsets. The fancy glasses where the AR is right in our. The glasses Megan and I are wearing right now could be mixed reality headsets. You just wouldn't know because they're so stylish in our case.


Hello, this is Teddy Jaspie here.

John from Las Vegas, it's theCUBE. Covering EMC World 2016. Brought to you by EMC. Now, here are your hosts, John Furrier and Dave Vellante. Okay, welcome back everyone. We are here live in Las Vegas with EMC World 2016. This is SiliconANGLE Media's theCUBE. It's our flagship program. We go out to the events and extract the signal from the noise. I'm John Furrier with my co-host Dave Vellante. Our guest guest is Yothi Swaroop, who's the director of product marketing at EMC. Scale I.O., you're the man behind Scale I.O. Welcome to theCUBE. Thanks, thanks guys. It's glad to finally be here.  What I'm here. It's our seven year. Love to have you because one of the things, one, you got a great technical background. You worked at Oracle back in the day. You used no middleware. You know this industry. But you are in the middle of a high growth S-curve as Dave was saying on our previous segments with Scale I.O. This is a killer product. So I want you to give us a quick background on what it is and why is it popping right now? What's, and why wasn't it popping last year? Great question. Now, you summarized it really well. Killer product. We're really disrupting. We're killing traditional architectures with Scale I.O. We're going after, you know, markets that were traditionally successful for what, 10, 20 years with traditional sand. 50 billion dollar market that drew over a decade. We want the new hyper-convert software-defined market to be that new 50 billion dollar revenue run rate with Scale I.O. Now, why is Scale I.O. so differentiated from all the other so-called hyper-convert software-defined products out there? It's because, one, we offer a choice to our customers. You could not only run Scale I.O. hyper-converged, you could also run a two-layer storage only, or you could mix the two in a single cluster. Nobody else can do this. This is a big differentiator. Then, as the name suggests, Scale I.O., Scale and I.O., right? It's all about scalability and performance. Those were the core tenets of the product. When the founders, Boaz, Ares, and others were designing this over in Israel, those were the core tenets that they focused on. Let's focus on scalability and performance, and let's leave the bells and whistles for later. A lot of companies, hyper-converged products and vendors out there, focus on data services. They talk about a lot of these, you know, superficial services outside, but they lose track of the fact that there's scale and performance that most large Fortune 500 companies need today. And that was the core tenet of Scale I.O., and today, I mean, if you watch CJ's keynote, storage reviews, codes came up, and storage reviews an independent test lab, and they said, we're the fastest hyper-converged product, and it scales infinitely, thousands of nodes. So, okay, the next stage was to say, okay, EMC, where's the meat and the bone? Nutanix has been doing this for a while. How do you compare with Nutanix? They're the gold standard today. How do you guys compete against them? Is it better? What's the take? Well, I'm not qualified to, you know, depict what the gold standard is, but because I'm married to Scale I.O., I can say we are the gold standard because we're going after the whales. I don't want to comment on particular vendors out there, but we are really going after the Fortune 100, the Fortune 10 customers. Citibank did two sessions here at EMC World talking about how they're standardizing their entire block-based infrastructure, a petabyte scale, multi-petabyte scale on Scale I.O., moving away from traditional architectures. This is Citibank, a financial services firm that usually doesn't even want to talk about what they're doing in the back end. Right, they're out here. Verizon, one of the largest telcos out there, standardizing on Scale I.O. for their block storage environments, right? So, I don't know what the gold standard is. Well, let's define the gold standard. In your mind, forget Scale I.O. for a second. What would be the ideal gold standard, the highest bar of excellence in this product category? More nodes, more scale, but what would be the couple tick marks? It's a combination. We'll probably need a standard's body to define what the gold standard is, right? It can't be us here, but I think the gold standard is, if you can name three of the top five banks, three of the top telcos, three of the top retail vendors, saying they're using these products at Scale and are extremely happy with the performance they're getting out of it, that's probably the simplest gold standard you can come up with, right? Everything else in the end doesn't really matter. Yes, they give us the best swag at the conference. No, it's about whether you're scaling this product and is it screaming, are all your applications, whether it's P2, P3 emerging, are all of them running at the pace at which you want them to run at? What makes a bank like Citigroup or Citigroup Bank standardize on Scale I.O. Is it the number of nodes connected? What are some of the main reasons why they jump on this product? It's probably a brave person in the infrastructure division of Citigroup, right? No, but all jokes aside, hyperconvergence software defined is as much an HR conversation as it is an IT conversation, right? You're going away from three different teams, managing network, compute, storage, two, saying, hey, this is all going to be managed in one layer, Mr. CIO of a big bank or a big telco, what do you think about that? And he's probably stretching as they're going, do I have to lay people out? Do I have to restructure this? Seems like a hairy mess. Do I even get started here? So the catch with Scale I.O. is we predict a evolutionary approach to how you adopt software defined, right? Start with 10 nodes, start with five nodes, start with one single application, see if you're getting the performance you desire, and then scale it out to other applications and other workloads. Don't let this not be a revolution straight off the bat. Let it be an evolution. So can we talk about why this is happening now? If you roll back to the days where all the storage was inside the server and you had, you know, IBM S&A and DeckNet, all these sort of different standards for networking, and then we know what happened. Storage was offloaded from the server and the SAN was created, the big box controller, and for good reason. You could share it, offload of the CPU. Cisco, we all know what Cisco did with IP networking. Good, great. So why now is the pendulum swinging back? It's a great question. So I think the number one reason is costs, right?  But there are three things every CIO wants to do, right? Reduce costs, make money, reduce risk. Those are the only three things that CIO is concerned about. So with Hyperconverge, with software-defined storage, you can do all three. You can talk to all of those three points with your infrastructure. One, like I said, the HR conversation. You don't really need that many people to manage your infrastructure anymore. Power, cooling, OPEX stuff. You reduce so much over five years. So there's a conversation to be had in all those areas. And with risk, you're reducing risk so much because you have this one single layer to manage now, one single plane of glass. You don't really have those three different teams where three things can go wrong, especially if you're doing a do-it-yourself. So the simplification message makes a lot of sense. You're going to bring all these components together and it's the whole software-defined meme. But what about the functionality of the stack itself? It takes, as you know, a long time to harden that stack. I mean, sometimes a decade. How is EMC and your customers, how are you dealing with that? Take the city example, they're obviously willing to sacrifice a stack that maybe have a decade or two decades or three decades of hardened functionality. How are you getting around that challenge? Again, that's another great question, right? You have to be a risk-taker. I'm also not a believer in the fact that just because it's software, it's not hardened, right? There's high availability resiliency built into these software modules that people have created. Folks like Ares, who's the CTO of the company, also designed Extremeio, which is a multi-billion dollar business today, right? So I don't buy that argument completely that it's not hardened just because it's software. So let me redefine that. So not hardened. I accept that because it's EMC. You're not going to ship the product if it's not hardened and knocking wood there. But so, what about the functionality though? It takes time to, whether it's copy services or whatever, data reduction services, the level of maturity of that stack, would you agree is not as great? I totally agree, right? So again, it depends on the use cases you're really going after. So we're going after infrastructure as a service for traditional applications as well as modern applications with no SQL databases or open stack, et cetera. And most of those customers that we've dealt with almost come back to me and say, Jyothi, today my pressing requirement is not really Ddupe and compression. You know, I'm not really using Scale.io for VDI or Robo type of use cases. With, you know, Ddupe is a must for those type of use cases by the way and Extreme.io does a great job of that. VxRail, which is based on VSAN does a great job of that. So there are products for those use cases. What we're going after is the core of the data center. The petabyte scale where people are just putting software on commodity hardware, Dell x86 servers and running their entire block infrastructure on it. So the Dell acquisition is like music to your ears now, right? I mean, that's a real tailwind for your business, right? I mean, talk about that a little bit. Oh, well, I can only talk about it as much as I can talk about it, but you know, it's overall 100% positive for us. We, you know, Scale.io runs on commodity servers and Dell is a leader in that business, right? And they're doing it with other competitive vendors as well. So you're agnostic to the service, right? But, but there's clearly going to be go-to-market opportunities that you guys can create. Well, absolutely. I mean, look at Dell's channels, right? The partner ecosystem that they have. EMC has always been a direct sales company and we've done tremendously well with that. Built a humongous company, a very profitable company, but Dell goes to mid-market customers differently through channels and partners. That ecosystem suddenly opens up for Scale.io, VxRack and VxRail. So, you know. Can you help us? Can you quantify the business, the scale of the business, the growth of the business? Anything you can share with us? Absolutely. I can share what CJ presented this morning, right? The momentum is tremendous. 345% year-over-year growth is what we've been through this past year. It's been a crazy time. We're growing in all different theaters of the world. We're growing, the top three verticals for us are financial services, telco service providers in no particular order. And all of them are deploying Scale.io in large scale, petabyte scale. So we're not even talking to customers in a way who are at the five, 10 terabyte range, right? We're not chipping a single node or two nodes. But we're really going after the big customers and they're coming to us. And once someone, five people here about Citibank, here at EMC World, we already have 50 people asking us, oh, can we just replicate that in our environment? Can you have us talk to that person? So it works ready. So what's the typical configuration look like? Node-wise, capacity-wise? It's so mixed, Dave. I mean, to be honest with you, it's hard to put a finger on it, right?  You have a do-it-yourself mentality. You buy the software, you kind of engineer it on the back end, you have a, you start big.  So it's hard to put a finger on it just yet, just because we're an emerging technology and an emerging product within EMC, but maybe next year, I'll definitely be in on it. But the bell curve goes from a handful of nodes, let's say, you know, single digits to many, many dozens, or? Yeah, that would be the MBA way of thinking, right? But it's not been that way, ever since we introduced free and frictionless. So we put Scalaia out there for free. You don't even have to put your name down, you get the product for free. So people have been downloading it and trying it out in test-dev environments, right? In non-production environments without support. And they've grown it out to such, you know, huge clusters and I love it. And they come back to us and say, you know, we've already tested it this out at scale. Jofi, you know, why don't we talk numbers here, right? So that was a home run for us, making this product free and frictionless. A lot of people were skeptical when we made the product available for free non-production use, unlimited scale. But it's just worked out brilliantly. Verizon, CD, everybody else. What are some of the customer anecdotes you hear from customers? They've fallen out of their chair. What are they honing on in terms of the value proposition? So there are two types of customers. One type of customer that's just adopted Scalaia and just running with it. And there are reasons why they just did that, right? They want to move away. Capacity planning is a huge one. I don't want to think three years. I don't want to be tied into one vendor and, you know, in a sand for three to five years. Can you help me, you know, move away from that? Data migration. Oh my God, that's been such a challenge. Can I not do data migration ever again? Right? So those are the type of challenges you hear and those are the kind of anecdotes you get from customers who've just bought. But customers who've had it for a year or two years are talking CAPEX, OPEX benefits. You know, the CIOs are willing to come up here and talk about it and say, oh my God, 505% ROI just by, you know, moving away from my traditional monolithic architecture to software-defined, we're just loving it. So it becomes a CAPEX, OPEX conversation. Once we've moved beyond the data migration and the capacity planning conversation. Yeah, and I'll give you the final word of the segment. For the folks that didn't see the keynote or are watching now or are watching on demand after, what's the big highlight that you'd like to share with them and what's the most important things being announced here and the activities here at EMC World? Well, the most important thing with ScaleIO is Mr. Customer, if you have an application that can run on block storage and if you want to save money running your application on block storage and scale to hundreds of nodes and petabytes without losing sight of performance, ScaleIO is the answer for you. And guess what, you're not the first ones to do it. Tens of Fortune 500 customers are already using it and it's only going to increase in the coming months. Yeah, I think Swaroop here inside the queue talking about ScaleIO, Joe Tucci and Mike UNA, Dave predicted that hyperconverge will be number one in the business. So we'll see, under a lot of pressure. We'll talk to CGA about that. You're watching theCUBE, converging all the data here, sharing it with you. You're watching theCUBE, I'm John Furrier, Dave Vellante. We'll be right back. Looking back at the history of Dell...


The problem with publishing research on chocolate is that the press jumps on it, oversimplifying and cessatializing the message. Then the money starts rolling in from candy companies muddying the message. But lost in all that, it's an important idea that the flavanol phytonutrients in cocoa do appear to be beneficial. The sugar in chocolate isn't good for us. The fat and excess calories in chocolate aren't good for us. But natural cocoa powder can be considered a health food. So adding cocoa to a smoothie or oatmeal or whatever would be health promoting. But ideally choose unprocessed, undutched cocoa, since the flavanols are what give cocoa its bitterness, so they try to process cocoa with alcohol to destroy them on purpose. Thus when it comes to cocoa, bitter appears to be better. In my video on chocolate and artery function, I showed how dark chocolate could improve the function of coronary arteries in the heart within two hours of consumption, using fancy angiography. But there are some blood vessels you can visualize with your eyes. The blood vessels in your eyes. Two hours after eating dark chocolate, significant improvement, and the ability of the little veins in your eyes to dilate. What about the blood vessels in your legs? Purple artery disease, atherosclerosis in the arteries feeding your limbs, leading to claudication of crampy pain in your calf muscles when you try to exercise due to impaired blood flow. So maximal walking distance and maximal walking time were studied. In 20 peripheral artery disease patients, two hours after eating dark chocolate with a respectable 85% plus cocoa, or after eating wimpy milk chocolate. After the dark chocolate, they could walk about a dozen more yards in about 17 more seconds than before the dark chocolate. But after the milk chocolate, they weren't even able to walk as far as baseline and not a single second more. So there does seem to be something in cocoa that's helping, but a few seconds here or there aren't going to cut it. How about reversing the atherosclerosis, which we didn't even think possible until 1977? Wait, what happened in 77? Do you know where this didn't start publishing on heart disease reversal until 1979? Well, actually the first demonstration of atherosclerosis reversal with a cholesterol-lowering diet and drugs wasn't on the coronary arteries going to the heart, but rather the femoral arteries going to the legs. What about the arteries going to the brain? Well, there's a non-invasive way to measure arterial function within the brain using transcranial ultrasound.  But if the arteries in our brain are stiffened and crippled by atherosclerosis, they're unable to open as much and as fast as they should, and so are said to have a smaller breath-holding index, which can be a risk factor for stroke. So researchers designed an experiment in which they compared the results of a target food to something neutral, like oatmeal. So did they choose like a spoonful of cocoa powder or something? No. A randomized crossover trial of oatmeal versus a deep-fried Mars bar. Wait, why a deep-fried Mars bar? Well, this was published in the Scottish Medical Journal, and evidently, deep-fried Mars bar is a snack strongly associated with Scotland. Wait, is this just an urban legend or something? No, 627 fish and chip shops in Scotland were called to ascertain the delicacies availability, and more than one in five said, yeah, selling up to 200 a week. Just follow the signs. Comes out a little something like this. Batter dipped and deep-fried Snickers bars and pizza were evidently less popular. The researchers conclude that it's not just an urban legend. Encouragingly, they did find some evidence of the penetrance of the Mediterranean diet, albeit in the form of deep-fried pizza. Could this be contributing to Scotland having among the highest stroke rate in Europe? Well, they put it to the test, and interestingly, there was a significant drop in men compared to women. Maybe men are from Mars, women are from Snickers? Regardless, what about chocolate? That's not deep-fried. It's been a few population studies that have followed people over time and found that those who ate chocolate appeared to have lower stroke rates since confirmed by another study, but maybe chocolate consumption just happens to be related to other behaviors that are heart and brain-healthy. Like, hey, people that exercise a lot have to eat more food, period, so maybe they eat more chocolate. They didn't see any evidence of that, but you can't account for everything. I mean, to prove cause and effect, you'd have to, like, randomize people into two groups, make half-eat chocolate, the other half not, and follow them out for a decade or two, to which one researcher replied, fat chance. You try to get people into a study where they could be randomized to 16 years without chocolate.
