So we're here in the Taipei 101 building right here with Gigabyte and who are you? Hi, I'm Peter from Gigabyte. So this is the Thunder X2 right here and hi. Hi, nice to meet you again. And who are you? My name is Hoshino in charge of product planning in Gigabyte. So what are we looking at right here? Now we see this is the new product for the SoundX2 solution. It's the ARM64 solution. So is this ready now for shipping? Yes, some of we have three systems here. You see this is the 2U4-0 high-density solution. There will be the 1-0 of that. So this is high-density that means you can fit 4-0 in a 2U4 reactor. 2U4-0 systems. Very dense. Very high-density computing ability for the HPC. What's connected here? This is the storage 2.5-inch SATA SAS HDD. So it could be a bunch of SSDs maybe, 7.15 terabytes? Yes, in the beginning we just used the standard SATA SAS HDD. But in the future we will have some NVMe U.2 SSD. And how is the NVMe U.2 SSD going to be great? It will be six times performance than the traditional hard disk icing. And that's great for cloud? It's great for cloud, great for HPC storage and for a lot of new usage and applications. So and here you have some different systems too? Here's the 2U compactor. We call it R280 board system. It's also a sound x2. And we use the common design you can see here. These two systems use the same motherboard. That's the very optimal design for 1U2U boards to use the same motherboard. How's that possible? Because we use the common design in the beginning of the development stage and we develop the system. Not only consider about the motherboards, also we consider about all the total solutions. The server solution and the storage solution. Rear IO flexibility and a lot of power consumption we'll consider all. And make the common design to make the best, optimal design. But for example the cooling fans right here are smaller than there. But it's the same motherboard, but how's that going to work? That's different usage because it depends on region demand. Some regions may be in the United States, in Europe they want a 1U solution usually. But in China they have some similar concerns usually. So they want the 2U4 compactor mainly. Does this mean that this is the same density as that one? Because you can put two of them in the same space as one of those? No, this is only one node, but that's four nodes. But you can put two on top of each other, right? Yeah, but this is only one node, two sockets. This one in a 1U, it's two nodes, two sockets. So four CPU in a 1U, this is only two CPU in a 1U. So how soon is this available? So these two systems will be launched in the next months. Next month? We used the final version of the CPU, B1 SoundX2 CPU. So this is the general availability chipset, right? The final performance, the great performance? Yeah, great performance similar to the Intel PURLY solution and the AMD APEC solution. So how good is the performance? Because I just did an interview with the guy from Serve the Home. He used a Gigabyte ThunderX2 production machine and he compared with AMD and Intel. How's the performance difference? So usually for the, maybe your old imagination of ARM solution, the ARM is just the low end of the entry server market. But now they are performance for basically GCC spanking score. I think it's the similar number to the Intel PURLY solution and AMD APEC solution. It can be also used for the mainstream of the IT enterprise and HPC applications. So lots of application compatibility. But the performance also, the single-thread performance, how does that compare? Similar, but you know, for every applications in the server market, it's a little different from the consumer image because it depends on all case by case. Different applications use different solutions and provide different performance in the TCO. Because at Gigabyte you are experts in having many, many different server solutions all around here and there. So basically you have Intel, AMD and ARM. We have all the principle solutions. We are the most completed solution in the world for server market, I think, because we have the Intel main solution and also we have the AMD APEC solution. Even the Qualcomm centric solution, we have our system. And Sandex from Cavian is also our main product. And Sandex, the mobile generation, they shipped a lot of systems to customers. Yeah, a lot of them. Can you say how many? Oh, secret. But so far it's not millions, right?  As you know, I think it's just the beginning of the ARM solution because for the ARM solution current main demand is from the research and some data center for the sampling only. And to the 2020, there will be a very big change because in Japan the next generation of the supercomputer will use ARM architecture. And as you know, in China they are very concerned about the security engine so they want the open source like ARM solution. So government now pushing the ARM solution very hard in China. Because, I mean, we're not in China, we're in Taiwan, which is not China, but there's so many people. Everybody wants to do smartphone full speed. They want to do games. Everybody wants to have amazing cloud performance. So maybe it's very important for China to have a policy to say we need to consider maybe to be greener or to have better multi-core solutions that are more custom for saving power. You're correct, because for the ARM device, now more and more ARM devices are used for IoT and AI. So if they use the same ARM architecture, then you need some performance to translate the 086 solution to ARM solution. But if we can use the ARM solution directly for server in the backhand, then that program will be solved. And there's no any waste of the performance to translation. So ARM solution will be very good. I think it's a second source to get some market share from 086. That's why we think it will be crucial. But so far those designs compared to some Intel, they're not lower power in terms of one of these, you call it U2, right? The overall power you put in and all the coolers and everything is kind of like the same infrastructure, maybe the same cooling stuff that's in an Intel solution. Same amount of power. So it's not lower power, but it's a different architecture so it might consume less power per task maybe. So first for the design view, we use the common design. As you see, this is our R181 series. And you can see there are two systems. Both the R181 system, that's the Intel solution, the party solution, and that's where the other one will be, the AMD APEX solution. You can see we use the common design, the same... The fan to the same fan and some real design and the same CRPS power supply. That means we already make ARM solution be the mainstream solution in the world. So they use the same design to provide the same performance. And the same materials for the connector, same blue, same storage, use the same design. Only the chip and some PCB stuff is changing, right? Yeah, maybe you just can see the socket design is different, but really for our engineering side, you need to change a lot of things in PCB and a lot of schematic. It's very technical things, but we do the same design for all the architecture, that's true. What did you change in PCB? Can you say without saying any secrets, right? What was the biggest challenge in the PCB, for example? Yeah, for the X2 solution, I think they have some special things. Like they use the BJ type CPU firstly and so it's mounting on the PCB motherboard. And you know, Cavian also have their own LAN chip set solution called Q-Logic. So we use their own LAN solution Q-Logic and with the storage on the motherboard. So for this kind of view, so we have the optimized design for ARM solution to provide the best performance not only for the computing, also for the connecting and storage. And there are some other things you can say about the PCB design. What's going on here? This is similar, but how about over here? Yeah, so for this generation, you know there is a trend. So for the storage, customer want the high-performance things like the NVMe U.2. And the SoundX2 also can provide NVMe solution. So we will have NVMe solution for this new SoundX2 generation. So it's also the new design for our SoundX2 servers. The high-density design right here, is this something you can only do with Cavian Thunder X2 or you can also do with Intel on AMD? This kind of 4-in-1? Yeah, they are also the common design. You see there is also the 2-in-1 model for the AMD and Intel use the common design. So like this and 4 of them go inside? Yeah, there is a very high voice from the market that customers want to have the ARM solution. They want to have the second source solution. So for our target, for our business strategy, we provide more and more flexible solutions for customers, not only the Intel solution. So customers can choose by themselves. And one more thing is very important that in server market, they are very difficult to the consumer solution because to the different applications, you need to provide different solutions to make the best performance and best CTO. For some ARM, especially for some HPC and ARM device-talking applications, I think SoundX2 will have better performance than Z80X. For what? For the web searching and some storage side. Sometimes the ARM solution will have better CTO. TCO for that. So Google should buy millions. I'm joking, but I don't want to know what's the secret or anything. They are very interested in that. The cloud companies are very attentive to what's going on here. I cannot tell you too much secrets, but I can tell you Big 7, a lot of Big 7, they have already started to do the validation with the ARM solution. So that means they've been testing together with you in the last year. They've been testing, right? But potentially now next month. So I'm just to have an idea. The company like Google, Facebook, Amazon, do they buy stuff from Gigabyte and themselves, the server, usually? I think they do both. Because you know they are a very big company and as I said, they have a lot of different applications. It's depending on the applications and they want to get the best performance and the best TCO. And for this kind of view, they want to try a lot of different systems and currently our system can hit some application for them. And one more thing is to the future view, I think there will be a cruise for the ARM architecture for the 2020. So you know in servers, there will be a very long leader time to do this kind of validation in the temporary stage. So we provide our first very early sample to Zen to make the leader time shorter and then they can have the real order after they do the validation. So how was this year, last year, how was it for you? It was very busy, very fun. How did it, challenging? I should say that in this way. For the last year, we do the sound x2 solution and other solutions for the sampling and for the sampling stage, engineering and RD resource will be very busy. So for next month, we hope our sales will be very busy. So next month, you hope you can go on holiday? I'm joking. But maybe, are you have plans? I'm joking, you don't have to say. In the last year, maybe there was no time for holiday? As I said, there is a very hot topic and a hot case now in different regions. I think I'm busy in this month and next month I would go different regions to talk about that, especially the ARM solution. And you're from Japan, right? Yeah, I'm from Japan. Originally. So that means you can have very good conversations with the potential Japanese customers, right? Yeah, I can speak Japanese, so I talk with SoftBank, you know, there's the owner of the ARM solution now. So they are very excited about this SoftBank, I'm sure. Yeah, they are very excited about that, I think. Maybe that's why they buy ARM, because of this company? Yeah, they see the growth, they see the potential of the ARM solution and as I said, especially in Asia, Asia now is big green and for Asia, I think ARM will be very hot solution in future. So, and of course, when I did the interview yesterday with the Cadmium, they said that in the other parts, because it's similar, kind of like the same price, but the CPU, potentially, they will have a competing lower price, potentially. That was going to be exciting, but maybe it's also something where you stand by, it's up to them how they're going to do the business, they're going to give a discount or no discount. Sometimes Intel gives discount sometimes, AMD maybe will try to do, it's interesting what's going to happen. I know about the pricing, a little competition, but I can tell that for the MSRP, the SoundX2 solution will be very competitive than Xeon 86, whatever Intel solution and AMD solution. And one more thing is, we are maybe the biggest partner with Cavian side for their SoundX solution. So, their pricing is very aggressive and our pricing will be more aggressive because they will provide special price for us. We will have the Gigabyte price. And Gigabyte is selling millions of servers every year? Yeah. In total? Yeah. So, you have all the infrastructure, you know exactly how Taiwan works and all how to make everything in China and everything. That's for them. Our business style is very feasible, so we not only just provide our server to the AMD user, we also can provide our server to some SI customers, distributors, so customers can choose what they want. So, we can do this kind of business. We can do the total solution for what we call level 10. And you see this is level six without memory, CPU and hard disk. And even for motherboard, you can see we have our motherboard right now. But these motherboards are AMD. But do you have motherboards like this for the KVM? We were, but for the beginning, usually we do the optimized design for system because now we are more focused on system because it has a high revenue. And one more thing is, if we do the optimized design for the system, then it can provide the best performance and optimize for different applications. But for motherboard, it's not for AMD user, it's just for some SI customers. They need to combine the motherboard to their services for their solutions. Wouldn't it be cool to have maybe some kind of development boards, something like that? Would you consider doing that or is it not your job to do that where maybe something kind of affordable for developers to get Thunder X2? Yup. That's also in our plan so you see we do a lot of servers. Now we also have our priority and the trade-off for the resource. And in the beginning, we just do the optimized system for customers. And if customer want like a research company or some engineering professional guys, if they want to standard motherboard to do the validation with the motherboard, we also can talk with them. And if I just turn around, so this one is not for next month. Is it a little bit later? When is it available for this one? Kick here. So this is not for next month? This is not for next month. So September? I think in Q3 maybe. Q3. So what's the still remaining challenge here? The challenge, we have two things. Now we are under starting and under construction. One thing is, you know for this server, there will be shared power and the shared thermal solution in this 2U. It's very high density you know. And for this case, in this case you see the CPU will have very high power consumption. Then we must solve much more difficulties than this 1U2U solution because it has more CPUs inside this 2U4 factor. Totally 8 CPUs. So the thermal solution is the concern we are now under validation. And one more thing is, for our internal validation we need more CPU than these two of case. You know, if for the 1U2U we just have two CPUs then one system can be validated. But for this one need 8. So we are talking with Kevin about to provide more CPU samples for us. It will be fast enough it will be faster than our little time of the validation. So it depends on the CPU numbers and our thermal solution study status. Then we can decide the run timing of this system. But when I did the video with Kevin yesterday he said they have 40 different SKUs. 40 different available SKUs. Are they all compatible with all these three? Or you only choose specific one only for these products? Or you only take the highest one. What do you do? If you say the coverage we have the biggest coverage of SoundX2 because we do this this is our Gigabyte standard channel product. 1U2U and 2U4U. That will be the mainstream product in the market. But we also do the CRB product for Kevin. We make their CRBs for 1U2U even the workstation CRB for them. So they do a lot of applications we know that and we do a lot of the coverage I think we are the biggest partnership to do SoundX2. What is CRB? CRB is reference board. Is this the 32 core 2.5 GHz or is it a 16 core 1.6 GHz or something like that? Which one is this? This time Kevin provides almost more than 40 skills of CPUs. They have 32 cores 28 cores and even the 16 cores. So they want to have the same coverage of the Yingtiao Perley solution like Skylake and the AMD APEC Napper solution. Because you know even for the server applications they will have HPC, enterprise mainstream storage entry. Different segmentation in the server market. You cannot just have one skill to do so you need to have the different TCO skill and the performance skill to fulfill different requirements. So some of them have a different thing on the SoC for networking or different thing for another market or the similar SoC design is just a different clock speed only. No this time they change the strategy. In the SoundX1 generation they have different application skill they just use the same strategy like the Yingtiao Perley and the AMD APEC just to provide different performance and application usage for the skill. So there is no big category between the CPU skill. So the design of the SoC is similar just different clock speed. Yeah it's the pin-to-pin design. And the cooling will be different if it's a 16 core 1.6GHz or 32. The TDP were different. So different. And here it's easy for you to fit there's not so much space to fit the fan or the cooler. The fan is too high fan something like this but for in our 2U Fono you can see this one. I cannot open the cover. So in our 2U Fono we have an advantage for the thermal solution because we use the double fan wall. Use the double fan wall then we can provide more performance for the thermal solution. Compare with our competitors they only have the single fan wall but we provide the double fan wall. So the fan but how about the heatsink? The heatsink will be the 1U high heatsink. And that's just fine. The 1U height. 1U high heatsink for both every node and the difficulty is you know they were sharing the 2U double fan solution. So that means we can provide all the skill supported in this server. But one thing is for the full spake usually we will have some limitation of the CPU skill but if customer don't want to use the full spake that means they maybe don't need too much real I.O. or they don't want full storage then I think all the skill can be supported in this server for some next year. And you could also potentially work with startups, new companies that are doing new hosting solutions that want to provide bare metal or companies like packets maybe they will be very happy You have all kinds of share. I cannot mention the name. The whole range right? Yeah very big range. From the distributor S.I. research company and the cloud company and the big 7. University even yes they are very interested in arm solution they are now studying. From China to USA to everywhere. All regions worldwide. I'm in charge of worldwide product here. For all the different solutions. Something happening in Africa are they having some arm servers because maybe they don't have one? It's a good question. For the African maybe they would save some power maybe not here. Depends. So this has been a very busy year and maybe we'll see how much it gets next year. I hope it gets revolutionary. I've been doing arm server video for 8 years. So this is the moment I've been waiting for right? Thank you for your question. Before it was kind of like testing or slow. I think it's very important for us to do this kind of things. In this market we need some pioneer to do different solutions because I'm basically for the car company in Paris many years ago and you know in cars different brands like Toyota Volkswagen and GM but for server there's no option and no choices. I think it's a little boring. Maybe we need to do some interesting job to engage a lot of different solutions for different applications. So we are the pioneer to do so. Gigabyte is the pioneer to do so. We are the leading pioneer in arm solution and we provide flexible solution and different solution to different applications and customers. Hope they can have second source, third source. I don't want to say anything bad about Intel. You know that's not they are good. I don't want to say that right but they were supposed to have 10 nanometer at Computex but somehow it didn't work. It doesn't work. Maybe arm has already shown 10 nanometer in the phone so I don't want to leak information what's happening next. That's not the confidential information but I don't want to announce this information instead of Intel CEO but actually Intel CEO has already announced that because they were still used 14 nanometer technology but they were transferred to 7 nanometer technology. That's a very checkpoint. Maybe that's a lock for arm because they are risk instruction set. Maybe it's easier to put in a lower nanometer than the complex Intel architecture. Maybe they have some issues with the small nanometer so maybe that gives an opportunity with what happened next year and then year after that. Maybe there will be some opportunities for arm to do something very interesting. I just can say that from the technical view, 7 nanometer will be good performance than 40 nanometers. So that's the truth and so we can see what will happen in next year and that's also one potential for arm solution. And I'm sure they're very busy with all kinds of strategy meetings and all the R&D guys are getting new ideas every day or every week with like oh we should do this and like oh great let's do it. And then they have to design a new chip. Yeah you know now more and more focus is the AI solution cloud. Everything is AI or cloud but what's the AI and cloud? The hardware will be server right? So server market really change very fast and we have our strategy meeting almost every week and sometimes every week we need change the decision or change the direction for the new plan because it's really change a lot and a lot of new technology now coming to the market and we should choose and make the trade of how to use this kind of new technology. And I went to the NVIDIA press conference and you know Jensen Wang he has a very cool style and he always talks very cool about his GPU and it works with GPU right? Yeah we are now working on it. You can plug it in? Yeah currently we also I think both Kavi and us and we are now talking with GPU company such as NVIDIA and AMD but currently the final certification is not finalized in Kavi and we are still on the X2 solution but we will continue to talk with these two company to make ARM server also can be used for AI and HPC. Because last time we did a video you told me that you can connect GPUs over here. Before the design that's why we talk with NVIDIA and AMD because this 2U server for this portion we can support totally 3GPU card there but once you know GPU is not the VGA card you need official certification from vendors so NVIDIA and AMD must do the total test for the GPU card validation and of that they will provide one official approval for this kind of solution so we are now talking about official certification about the ARM solution. Because when NVIDIA showed their Volta 100 it looks like a beautiful GPU Volta 100 can it work with KVM in theory or is it only the GTX 1080? What kind of GPU are you talking about? I am talking about the PCI type not the NVLink NVLink I think still will be using Intel solution now for now it's... SSM2 will be only supported on Intel PURLY and Grand Prix solution currently and for both AMD solution and KVM solution we are working with NVIDIA to talk about how to support NVLink technology but currently we haven't got the official approval but at the NVIDIA press conference they have their Xavi ARM chip together with the V100 and the same PCB so that's the NVLink you talk about right or what's called the faster link faster link it's the different proprietary card it's not used PCI slide it will be have the black baseball under the SSM2 module so it's a special form factor and something new a new category in the last few months I talk on my website is the machine learning the AI accelerators and all that it's so much happening here like Huawei is doing a design ARM is doing a design everybody want to do a new design that's going to be exciting what will happen with this next year in the next few months right? as you mentioned the new technology become more and more and for the AI cloud, HPC and even storage there's a lot of new technology now coming to the market so sometimes it's difficult to make trade off but we had leading position in the server development so we have very good partnership with them and we talk with each other to decide the strategy even the very interesting interview I did with Dr. Shunpei Yamakazi from SEL in Japan and he is an inventor of IGSO and he said IGSO if you can put this in a CPU it will be 100 times less power consumption so it will be exciting future a lot of ideas even in China they use some chipset ARM chipset to do new GPU card I heard so it really changed a lot so it's very fast we are now put our eyes to a lot of new technology and make the final decision to trade off


Hello everyone, this is Amit Dan of amitdan.com You are watching one of my Australia travel videos in the Great Ocean Road playlist and today I'll take you to the Bay of Martyrs in Port Campbell, Victoria, Australia. On my way, I'll show you some scenes from a small Australian seaside town or village Port Campbell. Port Campbell is a colorful seaside small town along the Great Ocean Road. Its population is only 500. I visited a restaurant forage on the foreshore and will show you inside. However, I had nothing here because I found everything way too expensive. After forage on the foreshore, my next stop will be 2.5 km long Bay of Martyrs which is a part of 32 km Bay of Islands coastal park. Thank you for watching this video. Forget about subscribing this channel, forget about liking this video. I'll see you shortly.


Live from New Orleans, it's theCUBE. Covering Veeam On 2017, brought to you by Veeam. Welcome back to New Orleans, everybody. I'm Dave Vellante with Stu Miniman, and this is theCUBE. theCUBE is the leader in live tech coverage, and we're here covering Veeam On 2017. This is day two for us. Paul Mattis is here, he's the vice president of the global cloud group at Veeam. Paul, good to see you. Hey, great to be here, guys. Thanks for having me in. Welcome, hosting the conference this morning. It's Roan Peter McKay under the bus a little bit. That was kind of funny. He's going to get you in a headlock later, no doubt. But you know, it's funny, it's great. Veeam On is an experience for people. It's not just about the hardcore learning, which is a lot of that going on, but it's about having fun. And a lot of people here are having fun, and you guys embrace that, it's great. Yeah, I mean, it's part of our culture, right? I think that's why it's a great company. It's one of the reasons why I came here, and listen, if you can't have fun doing something you love, there's something wrong. So yeah, we're going to keep that up. A lot of sports analogies going on too, which we love in theCUBE, sports angles. And so you guys seem like you're pretty competitive. You're not afraid to put it out there. So give us the lay of the land. What's happening in the marketplace? So on the cloud specifically, this is an area of major growth for us at Veeam. I think it's certainly a competitive landscape. No question about that. But I think we have some advantages given our lineage and where we've evolved from, from an on-prem organization into the cloud. The cloud market's moving very rapidly. You heard me talk about that this morning a little bit about the pace of cloud adoption. I think it's happening much more quickly than we've ever seen. And I haven't talked to anyone here and had dozens and dozens of conversations who haven't talked about having some kind of cloud strategy or trying to figure out how that impacts their go-forward planning in IT. You gave some IDC stats. I wanted to ask you about that. 46%, I think by 2019 are going to be doing cloud. And I presume that meant both on-prem cloud. So cloud being an operating model, not necessarily a destination. That's right, yeah. Talk about that a little bit. What does that mean? So yeah, so if you're Danny and I talk about this all the time is that I'm not, I've been doing the cloud since, you know, 2010 when I was with Azure at Microsoft and everybody talks about moving to the cloud as if that's it. You know, once you're there, it's over with. The reality is you need to think of the cloud as a way to deliver business results and deliver business solutions. So just getting to the cloud doesn't mean you're over. Doesn't mean you don't have to think about things like availability and data protection and backup and disaster recovery. So the journey to the cloud is, I think it's sort of a, it's a step, right? And then once you're there, there's a whole lot more that you have to do once you're there. Paul, one of the things I've been saying for a couple of years is when it comes to cloud, follow the applications and follow the data. You know, you said you worked on Azure.  I think Marcus Zinovic did a great job this morning laying that out. Virtualization was kind of a tool that, you know, applications sat on top. What's that maturation that you see of customers as to how they think about their data and their applications and where things live? Yeah, no, it's a great question. I think they're getting much smarter about how they separate and divide those things intelligently. Especially when you think about things like, you know, Mark talked this morning about StretchDB moving into Azure. And so customers are having to rethink all of that because the cloud really does change how you have to think about application, architecture, application deployment, especially as you do, you know, a division of data application and sort of the entire architecture end to end. So I think we're still early days, quite frankly. I think for as much as cloud is in the buzz and we love where we're evolving to as a cloud organization, the market in general is still early days and there's a lot of work left to do there. Paul, what visibility do you give customers and how do you help when it comes to the cost of all of this? There's so much, you know, it's often times fun in the marketplace as to, oh well, you know, public cloud super expensive, no wait, owning it yourself is always expensive. You should always try and purchase it by, you know, how do you inject yourself into that conversation? Great question and this is, you know, this is something that has been come up since day one and the assumption is you've got commodity hardware, you've got scale, so you've got decreasing cost. The reality is it's workload, it's entirely workload dependent, right? There are some applications, there are some workloads that you want to put into the cloud. Absolutely, you experience amazing economics. We talked today about the scale out backup repository model taking advantage of Blob Story, perfect example. One of the things customers need to think about is in addition to those things is ingress and egress costs, it's not just the cost of storage in the cloud, you have things that surround that in order to make it workable and make it really, really valuable. So one of the things we are doing now with customers is we're starting to work through and develop models to help them think through that. In various stages of network cost, storage cost and being able to give them some tools that really help them make those decisions, it's not an easy task by any means because at the senior level executives seem to say, well everybody's saving money in the cloud, why aren't we there, why aren't we experiencing that? When you get into the details, it's a little more complicated. But at the end of the day, the right workload in the right cloud infrastructure, absolutely economic advantages and more importantly, business advantages. Doesn't the savings or business impact really come from what we were talking about earlier, the operating model? Alan Nance, who was the former CIO of Phillips, who's in the Cube, and he said, if you don't change your operating model, you're going to just barely scratch the surface of benefits, scratch the surface of benefits. And so I wonder if we could explore that a little bit, is that what you're seeing in the marketplace, the people that lift and shift, maybe there's an advantage that you're shifting CapEx to OpEx, but it's really not moving. No, I totally agree, that's not, and it's always frustrated me a little bit that the economic end of it really seems to dominate a lot of the conversation based on perception. The reality is, yes, this is about changing the operating model and changing the ability of the organization to map to customer demand and map to market demand. The cloud does provide that, and you can't just lift and shift. Yeah, that's okay for some things, but you really have to rethink, okay, if I have this agility and the ability to deliver solutions in a cloud, what does that really mean? How do I really have to think through that from end to end? Not just, okay, going back to our earlier question, I'm going to put that in the cloud and we're done, you know? Absolutely, you have to rethink everything when you're moving to the cloud from an application's perspective. And then from Veeam's perspective, when you think about cloud, obviously you've featured Azure up there today, you guys have talked about affinity with AWS, but there's a lot of cloud providers, so yeah. 18,000 of them for us. And some of those may be managed hosting, but the business model is similar to cloud, so what are you seeing in terms of the, market's highly fragmented today, it's very localized. Do you, in your view, will it stay that way? Will you see substantial consolidation or will it be more like the services markets typically are, which is very local, very fragmented, zillions of companies? I think and we think that there will continue to be a consolidation in this part of the market. There's been an explosion of providers and what happens is how do you differentiate if you're a provider in that market, right? What is your secret sauce? What makes you more attractive than another provider? And so we've already seen consolidation globally for organizations, so what'll happen, what we think will happen is, yes, there will be some that are very niche, very specialized, they continue to have great success, but we will see organizations coming together increasingly what we're seeing is providers wrapping new value-added services around their offering, right? This is how they differentiate. We're also seeing service providers that are starting to verticalize, so specializing in a particular healthcare or financial services market as a way to provide value and differentiation for themselves. It's not going to just, and this is why one of the things that we've done in Veeam is, yes, we will continue to grow the provider base, but really focusing on ones that differentiate and add value to customers and can partner really, really well with Veeam. Veeam kind of grew up right at the time that not only was VMware exploding on the market, but there was a new virtualization administrator that didn't exist before, and Veeam helped solve a really salient pain point that they had. Can you talk to us about when it comes to cloud, who are you selling to? Community's very different in a very fragmented cloud world than that kind of big VMware community that we all know. So it's interesting because we're clearly in an evolution at Veeam. Veeam's legacy, very squarely focused in IT, and the IT pro community, that won't change. That will not change. But as you heard from all of our messaging here over the past couple of days, what we really want to continue to evolve to is understanding from a business perspective what is the business value of driving agility or driving agility and availability. And so that is now a conversation at a different level. You're talking a CIO level, you're talking COO level, and that's an evolution. It's an easy conversation to have when you're talking about a bits and bytes perspective of how do the bits move and what are these features functions. But you'll see us continually now relate this to what are the business outcomes, what are the business risks, why do you need to have an availability strategy, and why is Veeam the choice for that? So your positioning as an availability specialist, no question about that. I want to start by talking a little bit about the market for that. So there's multi-cloud, there's hybrid cloud that you've talked about this, sometimes we call it inter-clouding, but you are positioning, the strategy is positioning in the middle of all that as the availability, the best at availability always on. So first of all, how big is that market? Can you talk a little bit about the TAM, however you look at it, maybe not hardcore numbers, but if you have them, we'd love it. But how do you look at that? Well, I think Peter presented some data in his keynote on Tuesday, and we see the total addressable market is in the $69 billion range, which is pretty massive. If we can capture just a fraction of that, we're going to easily blow through our goals, our stated goals of getting to a billion and billion five in the next couple of years. So that's why we're going to, we will continue to focus across the spectrum of those platforms, right? You heard us talk about, that's the core, we grew up in virtualization, now physical, network attack storage, and we won't lose that. But now, understanding how all the different cloud assets and cloud platforms intersect that, that whole market is massive and will continue to grow. It's interesting, I was talking the other night with an analyst about cloud predictions, and we said, we'd love to go back and look at the last four or five years of predictions from analysts and see, where did they land, where did they really end up? And I went back and I, this is not an in-depth, robust survey, but going back a few years, looking at all the estimates of cloud market growth, they were all wrong, and they were all wrong on the low side, right? And it's hard sometimes to get analysts to not over-hype things, right? But everyone that I looked at, it was more, the reality turned out to be greater than what the prediction was. It's the definition of a disruptive technology that's usually horrible if you're asking it, right? Yeah, exactly, exactly. Which is a good thing, but... So in that sort of center of the cloud, if we can call it that, explain to people why Veeam, and not, hey, a higher level of abstraction, like VMware, for example, them trying to be sort of, even though they're not availability specialists, but they're pretty good at availability, and people are concerned about managers of managers. Why does Veeam win in that scenario? I think Veeam wins in that scenario given the breadth of our capability, given the breadth of what we do, I think number one, given the breadth of our ecosystem, number two, we don't have all the answers, but we have an amazing partner ecosystem that does. And number three, I would say the simplicity, right? This mantra that we have at Veeam of It Just Works, that's very, very valuable. I heard, just wandering around here, unsolicited, people don't know who I am, even when I'm walking with my badge off, and I've heard multiple times, they're not kidding when they say that it just works thing. That's something that we will never, ever get away from, and that's a clear differentiator for us. We were talking, we did a breakout session the other day, Danny and I, and we were with a number of service providers, and they asked, we had these canonical examples of what we're doing, and they asked a few questions of why can't we do this? And Danny and I would look back and say, well, you can do that, but it's not to the point where we have it yet, where we say it just works. There's a way to string it together, there's a way Veeam can solve that problem, but we need to continue to improve engineering in order to get it to the point where it just works, to make it that simple, elegant, and that's a huge differentiator. So the premise there is it's not a zero sum game, certainly between you and VMware, because of the simplicity and the integration that you do with VMware. Very interesting dynamic going on in the marketplace. It's early days, but you guys are, I love the positioning, it's clean, and it's focused. Yeah, no, thanks. I'm glad because we love the feedback, it's something we work really, really hard at. Veeam is in a great period of transition, bringing Peter on, the leadership team that Peter's brought in. That's really, really important that we're able to communicate where we're going and how we position, because we are so passionate about it. You just, you want to make sure that the words come out well and that the messaging is proper and that our strategy is locked on. All right, you give you the last word on Veeam, Veeam on 2017. Bumper sticker is the trucks are pulling away. I mean, I think it's an amazing event. It's my first Veeam on. I have been blown away by the energy and the information that we've shared. I think we have a lot of exciting things that are coming down the pike and we just can't be thankful enough for the great participation and look forward to the future. All right, Paul Mattis, thanks for coming on theCUBE. Hey, thanks guys. All right, you're welcome. Keep right there, everybody. Stu and I will be back with our next guest at theCUBE. We're live from Veeam on 2017 from New Orleans. Right back.


Supriseplex Absolut estetisk Griddings Laddingtons Så det finally happened My Instagram has been deleted and I thought to talk a bit about it again Speaking in technical terms I didn't have any violations I hadn't posted anything in particular that got me banned So yeah this is from higher up I suspect you know on some sort of list they say this guy can't be on this social media he's too successful he's too popular thank you thank you I feel quite I take it as a compliment I take it as a compliment that you view me as such a threat and as I said my latest youtube video you know it's more potent to post physique than to post politics and you know my twitter still up no issues at all where I actually do post more politics so twitter no problem posting lifestyle posting family pictures posting physique to Instagram yeah that is something different I got it down now of course if anyone who works for instagram is watching this I would very much appreciate it if you could allow me to download all of the pictures at least to have for my own sake but don't worry I won't use your platform anymore on a personal level and you know this is something I said on telegram and gab and mines so the first time it happened you know I don't feel at all like using instagram anymore because of it so even if I for some miraculous reason would get it back now no I won't spend any time or energy producing content there I don't want to give anyone a reason to be still on there either and I don't think you should be because you might be you will probably get banned or blocked anyway so yeah that's the update I will see if I can you know take legal action against it someone might say yeah it's a private company yeah it is a company but just because you're a company doesn't mean you can behave in whatever way you please especially if you can't point to you know a certain you know a violation or anything I didn't have any violations but anyone who's let's be real with each other here in our forest walk myself and my esteemed supporters it's not about what I posted it's about who I am they see me being a public dissident so therefore I have to I have to go you know a bit of a low blow going after someone's personal stuff like that it's not something I would do but that's what makes me a better man as well than the opposition and that's why people love me and again Instagram people don't like you I don't think you who decided to shut me down maybe you're watching this ask yourself why do people like me and why do people not respect you yeah probably because I behave in a higher manner I don't do stuff like that and yeah short term victory to behave in that sort of way long term loss history shows us this it's never a good long term strategy to behave in a nefarious manner anyway I have also backed up all of my youtube videos I can't tell you where because of that would actually be to go against youtube's guidelines and I completely understand it I completely understand that youtube do not want you know people talking about other platforms but yeah I'm sure you can find my videos somewhere else if you want that being said as I recently announced I have no plans to talk about anything controversial on youtube this is now only our well I'm going back to my roots with the channel so it's back to self-improvement and I'm looking forward to making more Gains kitchens videos also looking forward to getting back into good shape so I can post physique post physique videos so I can comment that's an aesthetic physique so that you can see how massive and glorious I am good times anyway I thought to talk about something similar this is the end of an era you know I've had my instagram since 2013 a lot of memories it's been a part of my life sort of in the same way as you would have a good friend but then something happens that makes your you can't be such good friends anymore necessarily because you disagree or dislike each other but because you move from one another or something sort of the same feel I have now and let me tell you about the good old days the good old days this was four or five years ago or something in Uppsala city of the gods and believe you me we had such a line up of glorious laddingtons and in retrospect I didn't realize what a luxury it was now this isn't a video on male friendship I will talk about the importance of it in a coming podcast all deeper issues are now on the podcast so make sure to be subscribed but anyway what good times they were and that's something I miss I don't really know why I mention it now but I wanted to say it at least if you have good friends and you live near them you have a luxury and makes the most out of it hug your friends and tell them that they are that you hate but they know because you have banter between you they know it's it actually means you love them that you appreciate them so yeah you know how it is male banter like that the recent year with less social interaction has made me yeah getting a different perspective on things you know when you miss something when you suddenly don't have it anymore you start realizing it's important for you anyway back to talking about instagram of course it was nice having it as a platform going forward even if I were to have my instagram even without any problems the time for alternative platforms it's here and you might think oh I will keep being on certain platforms and of course you should I'm not saying that you should quit instagram but it might be an idea to not spend so much time producing content and value and of course if you have a place where you produce value and content you can repost it to instagram or whatever but I don't think it feels right to produce exclusive good content for a platform which behaves in this way so anyway it is the end of an era and you know all the things going on in the world state repression censorship I always try of course to white pill you to have a good attitude to view life from the bright side of life but yeah I will be completely honest as well I don't particularly feel I don't particularly feel all too optimistic and to white pill you know I would say this I might be wrong I hope I'm wrong I hope extremely much I'm wrong but I do believe tougher times lie ahead and yeah it can be good to keep that in mind so even if we're talking about escapeism and stuff you know I had a good Christmas escaping you know reading books etc trying to not focus on the fate of the world so much but then come January and reality hits you reality will hit you sooner or later not particularly fun what it does but it's something you need to keep in mind I'm especially a bit sad worried for my American friends I don't really know what to say here I'm just saying stay strong and with you in spirit to all of my European friends same thing really difference between all of the various nations in the west these days so anyway the end of an era and perhaps the beginning of a new era you make it it is what you make it you can make it into something good a new exciting start or you can view it with lament but you know everything has it's time in my case Instagram maybe it was time maybe it was time for me to move on and hopefully Instagram will go the way of my space or something hopefully they will collapse because people do not want to be there anymore so now this is something I will post to telegram this is the wellspring of eternity ok maybe it looks a bit cooler with just my eye like that but yeah good stuff at least good stuff I will say that in regards to YouTube I will get back to my my arrogant cockiness I have tried to moderate myself a bit not only in terms of not talking too openly about politics but also in regards to not being as being as real as I used to be was actually on a Swedish podcast shoutout Ulle great guy and we talked about it he has his podcast self-improvement podcast and he's been a long time follower subscriber and he said I miss those days and I said to him the same thing that yeah I have not been myself enough put a lid on myself a bit and I know a lot of guys they miss the a bit more narcissistic or playful so I will try to let let that come back in a natural way letting myself be going up in that mood and of course if we're as I said in that podcast episode if you see me 3 p.m. on a monday going into the gym yeah you will see me having my earphones in and then I go home but if you see me 5 valent laddingtons and we have a good time in the gym on a saturday 3 p.m. and we've all been pre-workouting or whatever it will be a completely different personal most that is there because the energy is different and I think I need to be less all serious all the time you can have the intellectually stimulating content on the podcast and then moving forward a bit more light heart will go back to being a bit more myself on the other videos so anyway that's the plan for youtube anyway to conclude this video I will of course try to appeal the instagram decision but even if I get it back I will not be active there anymore you can find me on mines and gab instead I will continue to post a bit to twitter but I will have the main account telegram and then we will take it from there and yeah I hope that you also you take this as an opportunity to maybe get off instagram or to get to some other platform or whatever it might be because it doesn't feel good what they are doing I'll see if I can regain all my pictures again anyone on instagram it would be much appreciated if you can help me but anyway I will see you all on telegram surprise flex already back already back in in arrogance posting I won't say narcissism because it's not the actual narcissism it's just a bit of fun but anyway admire the wellspring of eternity in addition to but yeah I'm sure the arms look absolutely great underneath the clothing so now thank you for watching boom


Datapath. I can't remember who it was that talked about the road not taken, but we definitely don't take the datapath. I mean it would be challenging to take the datapath, that's often small, but unless you're watching it on a big screen TV, or a big monitor, or maybe you're driving it on a whiteboard, then your datapath is quite large. You might be able to take it. You can't take it with you. Datapath folks, it's a line, a line graph. Really?  I shouldn't even be talking about datapaths. First off, let's assume that you have a line graph. Let's assume you've watched the video and you actually know what a line graph is, because we know if you didn't watch the video, you don't know. So anyway, line graph dots. There's a cool video where dots appear, and you're like, like this, it's really cool. Take a look. Anyway, then the person editing the video magically draws in these lines from the center of the dots. They do not round them off.  They look like mountains or not. It could be planes, you know, if you have stable behavior. The point is, is that you have the dots for your datapoints, right? And you connect those datapoints with lines through the middle of the dots. That's your datapath. That's all there is to it.

So, on the 15th of April 2015, when myself and Major General Kaufman had the opportunity to present a living Montfort Port Marine, a medal, I felt that that was history and the making. Because you had history back in 1942 who paved the way for someone such as myself to be in, to listen to what private first class Adams stated occurred during 1942. It's something you have to experience yourself, to feel this presence of history, to be a part of it, to know who actually paved your way. It's like being right there with Rosa Parks and sitting right beside her or being with Chester Puller and knowing what he went through in regards to all of the orders that he gave to his men when they were in war. To be sitting there made me feel like I was in a moment. He had the strength that I myself would have to find from somewhere in order to survive what he went through. In order for him to survive being spit on, being talked about even by the commandant then of the Marine Corps stating he would not want to serve even 250,000 at the time. He said Negroes. But the fact that they went on and the stories that he told me, how they did not get the same child that their counterparts received or he wasn't treated the same way or he did not get the same recognition. To go through that and know that you are doing this for a bigger purpose almost brought me down to tears. It brought me to being more humble than what I am. To even think of something that I might go through because I'm upset made me forget that just thinking about what private first class Adams said.  You paved the way through dignity, through hunger, through hatred, just so someone like me could honor what you've done and honor our Corps and it was amazing.
