Lux presents Hollywood the Lux Radio Theater brings you Claudette Colbert Ray Merland and Brian Ahern in Skylar. Ladies and gentlemen your producer Mr. Cecil B. DeMille. Greetings from Hollywood ladies and gentlemen. Once upon a time a young actress asked me how she could learn more about acting. I told her to see every picture Claudette Colbert made so whether Claudette knows it or not she's running a dramatic school on the side for some time. Tonight she co-stars with Ray Merland and Brian Ahern. Ray has spent a good part of the last year working in my picture reap the wild wind. Perhaps it's natural for a producer to be proud of his own stars so I'll let his performance speak for itself. And you all know what to expect from Brian Ahern after his fine work here in the past. These three stars teamed in Skylark at Paramount and it's their first appearance here together. The play which brings them together was written by Samson Rayfielson and had a long run on Broadway before it became a picture. Skylark is the story of a woman with a fight on her hands a fight to keep her husband but the situation which threatens her home is no ordinary triangle and the way it works out received the approval of both motion picture and Broadway theater audiences. It's a very modern story about a very modern woman the clear thinking smart dressing lux toilet soap type of woman there are many like her in this broad land and today they're all facing a challenge. Changes are taking place that give American women far larger and more important responsibilities in the economic scheme of things. Many of them will be doing men's work and looking very glamorous at it too. American women are working hard but they'll work harder in the months to come doing all kinds of things netting and learning first aid of course and even helping to make airplanes. But American women look lovely at any kind of job at home in an office or a defense plant and Lux toilet soap has always helped them do it. It's beauty's own first aid. Now for a sky lock as the curtain rises for the first act. Soaring Claudette Colbert as Lydia Kenyon Ray Milan does Tony and Brianna Herne as Jim Blake. If Mrs. Tony Kenyon hadn't dropped into a certain jewelry store that afternoon the trouble would never have started. If Mr. Kenyon's best friend hadn't wandered into the same store at the same time there might never have been a mention of divorce. Anyway that's the way it happened. Here's the jewelry store here's the clerk and here's the best friend and there's Mrs. Tony Kenyon at the other end of the counter out of sight but not out of ear shot. Can I be of service sir? I've only got two minutes buddy and I have to get a gift quick for a pal of mine there's something for his wife. Can you just step this way please.

slaves were liberated by Abraham Lincoln in 1865 but I did it with the utmost finesse Lydia you're not very bright oh well what do you want me to do get down on my knees wrap up my cook and have her delivered to the Van Tyne's house but with an apple in her mouth this is no time to be losing your temper don't you realize that one Van Tyne's dog food is my biggest account and two it means an extra

In this medial, we will learn about the theory of the second best. Prior to that, when we start this course, we learned that free trade is always beneficial for the world because through trade, the world can gain different advantages in terms of more production, better utilization of resources and the use of factor endowments. So, after that particular scenario, we learned about the custom unions. So, a general perception that free trade always helps for the country or for the world as a whole, we learned something in the previous medials where we also saw that trade can be converged and then it can be diverged to some point. So, ultimately, what propagated the custom union, we used to say that in any form of the custom union is formed, it will help the overall world as well because the extra resources generated by forming custom union will be used towards the rest of the world or you can say, this extra income will be spent on the goods and services imported from the rest of the world. But this phenomenon was challenged. Later, in 1956, Lipsy challenged this phenomenon. And a theory of second best that we can see in the custom union is that if all the conditions required to maximize welfare cannot be satisfied, trying to satisfy as many as these conditions does not necessarily or usually lead to the second best. In simple words, we can say that if for the welfare of the overall world, which you have pre-requisites, if you cannot achieve them, then the rest of the world, to get near to this particular or you can say optimum level, it is not necessary to provide the second best solution. Because you keep propagating this, which economists say at the start before the winter work, it was that trade helps and uses the resources better. This is what we studied in traditional theories of trade, whether it is the absolute advantage case, whether it is the comparative advantage case, in both forms, we said that free trade would benefit the world as a whole. But in this case, there was an addition of the custom union, a specific region or you can say block of countries, it can also be a block on a regional point, like the European Union or the NAFTA concept. That too, to some extent overall, can be beneficial for the whole world. This is not the case. Here, this challenge happened that the theory of second best is that if you cannot go towards free trade, you cannot achieve the optimum level, which you could take as much as possible with the help of free trade, if you cannot get those welfare gains, you cannot basically get the best second solution by making custom union. So, in that case, why the custom union? When we were studying the custom union, we saw the possible outcomes, that were the aspects of the trade diverging and the aspects of the conversion, and we also saw its implications. In this case, the welfare of the overall world can rise and fall. It totally depends on the situation and particularly the commodities that we are talking about for the trade purposes. So, this theory says that after free trade, if you come towards custom unions, it might not be the best second solution to get welfare gains for the whole world. Thank you very much.

Propaganda. If vegans were honest and correct, I would support them 100%. Unfortunately, that is not the case. They lie about the health benefits of a vegan diet, what impact it actually has on the environment, and what constitutes the moral and ethical standings of a vegan diet. If a plant-based diet is so healthy for you, why does the German Nutrition Society say the opposite? With a pure plant-based diet, it is difficult or impossible to attain an adequate supply of some nutrients. The DGE does not recommend a vegan diet for pregnant women, lactating women, infants, children, or adolescents. There are critical vitamins and fatty acids missing in the vegan diet that are crucial for all stages of development and they cannot be obtained through any methods of supplementation or foods that are not from animal sources. Vegans love to brag that a plant-based diet is the only diet proven to reverse heart disease. Is that why the Maasai only ate blood, milk, and meat and had no signs of heart disease or atherosclerosis? Vegans like bringing up the issue of people asking, oh, where do I get my protein? And yeah, there are plenty of vegan protein powders that can be used, but they like to say, oh, herbivores are the most muscular, they're fine. Humans do not have the digestive capabilities or the same stomach bacteria that herbivores have. Cows have bacteria in the stomach that literally turns grass into volatile fatty acids. These cows are running on fat. In many instances, these herbivores will eat meat when they have access to it. I can't tell you how many videos of deers eating birds I've seen online. Speaking of cows, a lot of people think the commercials for milk and dairy are propaganda for milk, but they're not. Milk actually has all the vitamins and minerals your body needs to survive, if it's from a high-quality grass-fed source. So the solution to this is to either source locally or find the highest quality grass-fed dairy products you can consume. Impossible meat beyond meat, all of these fake meats are pretty much laboratory poison. They are very high in omega-6 fatty acids. Have you guys ever read the dozens of ingredients on these? I bought one of these just to see what they tasted and it smelled like it was made out of chemicals in a laboratory. This is not food. Ironically, a lot of vegans are actually against these fake meat products. They don't think true vegans would ever want to eat a fake meat product. Benefits for the environment are one of the main selling points of a vegan diet. Now if they were honest about statistics, people would be singing a different tune. Let's take a look at this chart to understand what impact going vegan actually has. About one-third of the impact of going car-free. If you ride your bike to work, you are the equivalent of three vegans. If you hang dry your clothes, recycle, and wash your clothes in cold water, you are the equivalent of one vegan. Have one child? That is 60 vegans. One thing I find funny is these vegan YouTubers who have five or six kids, how can you talk about environmental benefits when you're adding hundreds of times the amount of CO2 emissions of a vegan diet by having a kid? Where are people getting these statistics? Oh, a quarter of all greenhouse gas emissions are caused by animal agriculture. It's actually from some skewed and misinterpreted statistics about 15 years ago. Here, Frederick Roy explains that the original statistic was livestock representing 18% of the greenhouse gas emissions. They actually rescinded their statement after it was critiqued. The reason for this is that they used the complete life cycle assessment for livestock but not for transportation. Actual statistics are far less compelling. Total agriculture emissions are 9% in the United States of which 3% are livestock. 3% is about 10 times less than what most vegans are saying. And for a good reason, it's not alarming. Contrary to this popular belief, livestock actually has a positive carbon footprint on the environment if used in a proper way. Here is Alan Saveri's TED Talk explaining how using livestock can reverse desertification. There is only one option. I repeat to you, only one option left to climatologists and scientists. And that is to do the unthinkable and to use livestock bunched and moving as a proxy for former herds and predators and mimic nature. There is no other alternative left to mankind. So let's do that. So on this bit of grassland, we'll do it but just in the foreground, we'll impact it very heavily with cattle to mimic nature. And we've done so and look at that. All of that grass is now covering the soil as done urine and litter or mulch as every one of the gardeners amongst you would understand. And that soil is ready to absorb and hold the rain to store carbon and to break down methane. And we did that without using fire to damage the soil and the plants are free to grow. Not only can livestock be beneficial for the environment if used accordingly, conventional agriculture is far worse than any local sustainable agriculture regardless of whether you're eating meat or consuming vegetables.  But industrial agriculture is a special case.  Some vegans literally think flying in 15 different foods in plastic packaging from around the world is better for the environment than consuming a local grass-fed steak. They've literally banned exports of avocados in countries like Kenya. Not only that, vegans don't understand that certain crops that have a low caloric density like cucumbers and kale require an incredible amount of resources to grow. Not only is it better to consume that local lamb chop for the vitamins you're missing on a vegan diet, it's also better for the environment. Whatever people want to blame climate change on, it's definitely not eating meat. If all else fails, vegans will have you believe that a vegan diet is cruelty free, but no diet is cruelty free.  So it could be argued that vegans are causing the death of animals by requiring minor cultures of wheat or other grains to be grown. If you're fortunate enough and wealthy enough to be able to be selective about your diet, then instead of cutting out all animal products, go for organic products or better still buy direct from producers and farmers which incorporate and follow good environmental practices. Choose those which treat animals well, enhance biodiversity, protect our soils, keep our waters clean, and benefit the local community as a whole. Poisoning rodents to prevent plagues, herbicides, pesticides, kill hundreds to thousands more beings per calorie than pastured or grass fed beef. Not only are more killed, they are given a slow painful death from poisoning, displacement of their habitat, or being ground up in a harvester. Some of this grain might be used to feed livestock, but if you look at all of these processed foods vegans are eating, one of the main ingredients tends to be these monocultures, wheat, soy, or corn. Vegans might think they're avoiding bees by not consuming honey directly, but bee pollination is also necessary for certain crops. Toxic pesticides are destroying their industry, beekeepers claiming that their industry is on the verge of collapse. Should we also include the pain and suffering they afflict on themselves? From digestive and mental health issues to child abuse and hyper-aging of young people. Celebrities even the royal family is pushing veganism and vegans have the nerve to say that there is more meat propaganda out there. Are they crazy? Look at all these celebrities. This isn't even a quarter of that list. What can you actually do? Reduce food waste. 45% for fruit, vegetables, and tubers is astounding. 30% for cereals, 20% for oil seeds and pulses, 35% for fish, and 20% for dairy and meat. The next thing to do would be to support local sustainable agriculture with your dollar. How contradictory is it that a vegan walks into Whole Foods and talks about the environment? Literally the biggest hypocrites in the world. Thank you guys for watching. If you guys would like to support me, please subscribe and share the video.

You've got love, unconditional love, self-love, oneness, passion, affection, attraction. Okay, Virgo, beautiful. This is what Virgo needs to see and hear for this new year. Virgo, 2024, we're going into the year of the dragon. Those who are in the year of the dragon, this obviously will be a year that's favorable to you, who are born in the year of the dragon, also monkeys, pigs, and roosters. We'll have the luckiest year ahead. Everybody else will have secondary luck. Dragons will be like the first place. Monkeys, pigs, and roosters will pretty much be like right behind and then, but not second place. They'll be up there with the dragons and then everybody else is going to have secondary luck. There's no third runner up here, so there's love. I love love. Who loves love? Give me a thumbs up or like the video if you love love. That unconditional love for yourself, gosh, Virgo, that right there, I feel like the message is that if you have children, unconditional love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, children, grandchildren, yes, pets, yes, and yourself, yes. I'm not so keen on the unconditional love for everybody else. I think everybody else can get supportive love, you know, but unconditional love for yourself is the number one thing that you have to, that means that you accept yourself for who you are in your entirety, despite any flaws or mistakes that you made in your life. That means that you love yourself not in an egotistical way, but in an accepting way. That means that, you know, you say to yourself, unconditionally love myself, meaning I'm good enough, I'm worthy, I'm valuable enough, and being affectionate with yourself, being even attracted to yourself, which does sound kind of weird to say, but in a way where it's like you can sit in a room by yourself and enjoy your company totally. You know what I mean? That's a good thing. But you also have a beautiful love connection happening for some of you this, here we go, new love that's brewing or that's beginning, it could be with somebody that you meet in January, maybe you go on like a coffee date or a dinner date or you connect with a friend and there's a new love start happening with this person, or it could be somebody that you already have a connection with for some of you. And I just see, did you kiss someone under the mistletoe, Virgo, this year or last year possibly or at some point, okay, could be that person and maybe it was just a fun, flirty kiss and nothing serious, but it looks like something will be brewing here with that person. Oh my goodness, oh my goodness, oh my goodness, so you've got, here we go, the 10 of cups yet again, okay, and you have, wow, the four of cups, listen Virgo, between you and another person here, okay, and it's all cup energy, so I have to tell you for some of you it's going to be a water sign, not all, but there is water element here for sure, okay, they just told me to say, some of you are giving up drinking, you had your New Year's Eve toast with a drink perhaps and you made a resolution that you're not doing, I do feel like for some of you, and this is just a side message that's coming in, for some of you, you're starting off something new this year, you have a resolution, whatever it might be, and you're avoiding things that are too sweet, okay, so it could be sweet foods, right, for some of you, it just could be something that is indulging, whatever that might be for you, it doesn't have to be food, but you're showing some resistance to indulging too much in either a particular activity, something that just wouldn't have long term benefits for you, do you know what I mean, right, so whether that's like excessive drinking, or if you're a smoker, you could be quitting these things, or coming off the sweets this year, part of your resolution, or you know, switching things up, maybe you're gonna not do sugar, and you're gonna do, I don't know, Splenda, or any kind of other type of sugar, yeah, becoming a bit more apathetic blocking saying no, some of you might even be deciding that you're just gonna make that connection with this particular person, and not accept any other offers from anybody else, because you want to go from the two to the ten, okay, and I do feel like whoever the other person is, is also having a similar energy as well, okay, not accepting or just really indifferent to love offers by others, you and this person, because there's a beautiful connection being made here, okay, yeah, all right, let's see, oh here's the chariot, so we do have cancer there, some, there's progress, there's gonna be progress made in a love relationship, Virgo, okay, let me see here, oh yeah, there's a Hierophon, I mean come on, spirits like, let's talk, let's have a chat, committed relationship or something formal occurs as well, okay, this is beautiful, so we do have Taurus here, you know, the Hierophon is really like very structured energy, I feel, it's not, it's not a rebellious energy, there's progress into something very structured with a particular person happening, so like I said, if you're meeting somebody new in January, expect that to actually progress into something long-term or something more, you know, within the balance of your beliefs and your desires as far as relationship goes, you and this person, you could be, some of you might be going on like a spiritual retreat as well in January, traveling or going to some kind of spiritual retreat as well, let me see what else is going on, oh there's my doggie barking, okay, oh there you go, look at that, just what I was saying, you could be going on a retreat with someone as well or connecting with someone and it turns into a very beautiful spiritual kind of connection with someone as well, yeah, there's, I definitely feel like there is some kind of journey, a love journey happening here with someone and it goes, like you guys get to your destination, whatever the destination is that you both figure out together, you guys, it progresses, so there's, you know, and don't be fearful with this progression, it will not be one linear straight line, there's going to be stops and starts, three steps back, two steps forward, two steps back, three steps forward, that's all the natural progression of anything, so if you feel like you're connecting with someone and then you guys have some stops and starts, that's not an indication that the relationship is not going to work, that's an indication of okay, we reassess, we regroup and then we go, it's like when you're traveling in a vehicle, if you're going cross country, just because you stop for the night to sleep and eat does not mean the destination is abandoned, it just means we're going to take a little break and regroup and recharge and we're going to retreat and rest and then get back in the car again, however long, the next day or two days and then we're going to continue on the journey okay, so you might feel like, oh okay, well this is great and we're having this thing here, but now we haven't spoken in three days, well that doesn't necessarily mean, now everybody's situation is different, but I don't see that that necessarily means that this thing is done, it just, because I don't see that, I see the journey and I see the progression of a beautiful love relationship happening here, so I don't know if I, I felt like I just needed to tell you that, yeah see there's the five of pentacles, so there may be a sense or a feeling, a little bit of like, oh we're having a struggle or somebody who you connect with or you're connecting with might be temporarily unavailable and so there's this feeling of left out in the cold or somebody could be very busy with work, you could be you, could be the other person or there could be some financial struggles, it doesn't mean it's you know done, I just see here that there's this progression and this is the the stop before the next start okay, with the five of the five of pentacles okay, where it's that feeling left out in the cold, feeling ill or feeling sick because somebody's away or somebody feeling that way, you know when I say somebody I'm talking either you or another person and two people feeling like okay, but regardless even in the even in the stop part of the stops and starts, they're still together, they're still together here, you see so it's not, it's not a card of just you know tiny Tim here with his little crutch all by himself walking in the snow, there's hope, they're walking outside of this church which represents faith, it's keeping the faith Virgo even in the the dark moments and not giving up okay and that's having that positive mindset and and also with this love relationship reminding yourself that you know you are still worthy of love even if you feel like there's a difficult struggle that might be happening because that's relationships, relationships are complex, people are complex, people like to do different things, people are not always on the same page doesn't mean you know like I used to tell my children all the time and they were little like I would always say to them I may not like what you did but I never stopped loving you right and that is like I always love you you're not none of us are I mean yeah you're perfect to me my children but everybody makes mistakes right and it doesn't mean that the love is gone it just means that this is a struggle period right now I do feel like whoever your person is if you meet somebody new and there's like okay we started talking and things were going great and now this person I haven't heard from them in like a week and we had all these plans stay in faith stay in that place of abundance stay in that place of self-love and keep the faith and stay hopeful because I do feel like things are gonna just go forward here and what else does Virgo need to know and then I'm gonna end your reading okay got death okay that's perfect Virgo you're definitely going to be presented with this you've got this new a new beginning here the death card doesn't the deaf card is not singular it doesn't represent an end okay and that's Scorpio energy it doesn't represent an ending without a new beginning nothing just ends there's always something that takes its place there's always a void that has to be filled so so when you feel like something is over because you might feel that way maybe it triggers insecurities or abandonment issues that might happen in January but you got to remember something like Virgo and I'm just gonna keep it straight og 80s style you're not a grody person Virgo you are the ish don't forget who the hell you are okay if you're feeling in and I don't mean that in any statistical way like love yourself value yourself remember don't forget who you are this is the Virgo card this is Virgo in abundance this is Virgo being Virgo you might have things really twisted you might have some insecurities or feelings like well somebody doesn't like you or someone's you're not good enough for someone know Virgo they might just be very intimidated by you or they might just feel awkward around you maybe they want to take a break you know or if they've got some deceitful things going on Virgo that's them that's on them that doesn't that doesn't represent who you are people are gonna make the choices they're gonna make in their life but you got to stand strong within yourself within your core within your power and live your life the way you want to live your life and how you know because even if you even if you end up single which I don't really feel like you will but even if it comes to that or you just kind of just say okay it's done it's over then power back up and return that love back to yourself that's what that self-love is about okay and I don't mean like you know go go to work and ignore everything right no just the love that you give if it's not accepted it's always return back to you okay so just keep that in mind I feel like you need to know that and and like I always say I always say like about money I never feel like a run out of money because even at times when my bank counselor I'm just always like the ebb and flow you know money always comes and money good money goes and then it comes back again and then it goes and it comes back again it's just the way it's just life and it's the same thing with love it's the same thing with relationships it's the same thing with the seasons it's the same thing like we go through these cycles right except the cycles and don't let the dark cycle keep you in fear and make you lose your hope it's in it's in the dark you know even the smallest spark can light up the dark you know so keep that spark about you Virgo don't lose your spark no matter what you're going through if you have a connection with the Virgo Taurus or Capricorn and if you feel like you're like because you have free will so if there's a struggle that happens for you like I showed you there with the five of pentacles and you feel like no you're just gonna end this don't get distraught get back on the horse because there is an opportunity for new love from another like I said it's the ebb and flow somebody else is gonna come in but you have to decide at the end of the day I don't really feel like that's gonna happen and I feel like if you really are like loving yourself and you meet someone and you love this person whether you meet them or you just whatever the situation is I do feel like even if it doesn't work out which I don't feel like it won't but you have to be the one to make that decision you still have love first you still have like the ace of cups with the king of pentacles masculine or feminine that is still like new even new love for yourself is a beautiful thing right we love yourself again but whatever it takes but but I don't want to blow smoke but I do feel like if you feel like something's come to a start just re-power up and start loving yourself again right don't stop that that's the message hey you guys thank you so much for watching on my readings if you like to get a personal

Welcome to Cube Conversations. Cube Conversations is a new series by Silicon Angle Wikibon where we bring people into our studios. We're live here from Marlboro, Massachusetts. Greg Shears here is the Vice President of Server and Storage Strategy at Broadcom. And we're going to talk about trends in storage and networking. Greg, welcome back to theCUBE. Thank you very much. It's great to be here. Yeah, so we see you at all the shows. You know, we travel around, we go to the events and it's good to have you here. Tell us what's new in Broadcom's world. Boy, things never stay the same for very long. We have a lot of new things going on, both on the switching infrastructure side. We've officially released our Trident 2, our highest port count switch. Very exciting, used in an awful lot of the switch infrastructure that's out there these days. We've also done things on the very opposite end too in that we have, we just announced a few weeks ago, 5725 integrated BMC one gig and BMC controller, which you think, boy, it's kind of an odd thing for Broadcom to get into, is kind of the baseboard management controller. But this really plays into, I think, a lot of the topics that we want to talk to today. And it's really about the cloud. So we kept being approached by a lot of the cloud vendors, infrastructure folks saying, you know, we really want a very lightweight management controller. You guys have kind of the industry-leading one gig controller, a lot of the 10 gig controllers as well. What can we do to simplify and have an open management controller for kind of the, I'll call it the lower end or the hyperscale kind of environment, not locked into any given vendor using open standards, DMTF based smash kind of standards. So we have things on the management controller side, lots of 10 gig software enhancements that were constantly rolling out and really looking at a lot of the cloud applications that I think we'll talk about today too. Yeah, definitely. So if you look at the trends in the last 15, 20 years, you've seen functions sort of move out of the host's server into the sand and you're seeing the pendulum swing back and a lot of things driving that. There's flash, there's convergence, you talked about cloud. So what are you seeing in terms of the bigger picture, storage trends, and then we'll get in deep? Boy, a tremendous amount of movement in storage and that if we look at the cloud, the cloud is converged. We hear about in the classic enterprise and an awful lot of the time, we hear people talk about storage convergence. Well, the cloud, I'd like to say the cloud was really born converged. People don't have separate storage appliances that they put in that are storage only. These are really servers with a global file system or an object-based file system. And that's how people do storage in the hyperscaler cloud type environments. And so we see that trend growing. The amount of storage is certainly growing at a huge rate within these hyperscaler public cloud type environments. And so we see some of those same trends moving over away from just say the hyperscale or large public cloud mentors into even private cloud and some of the enterprise as well. Stu, you've written a lot about that factor right there, the sort of hyperscale bleeding into the enterprise. Yeah, so Greg, it's interesting, we talk about the components breaking down. If you look at what Facebook is doing with open compute, we said, can we just completely disaggregate the pieces? I remember years ago when Facebook's photo repository was growing, they used to use traditional filers from a big name vendor and at reach a point they were growing too fast and the cost just wasn't there that they had to change the architecture. But I think those of us watching, it's not gonna break down to everybody buying their own chips and pieces together. There has to be some balance there. And we heard from Amazon last week that they don't think it should be some just giant pool. We say Facebook built five configurations and everything can run off that. We heard from Amazon, they actually hyperspecialize what they're doing and have more and more configurations because when they scale each application, they wanna configure that and have those pieces in place. So how do you see those trends playing out? Well, it's so true. Stu, we see more and more the whole notion of this hyperspecialization. I mean, earlier this year, we heard about Baidu coming out with kind of their storage server that was really a multi terabyte kind of enclosure and a 2U form factor, not really meant for speed, but meant for the term that we've kind of coined after the fact is more cold storage. We hear Facebook talking about that as well. Amazon Glacier was another one, right? Yeah, well, Facebook had talked about, oh goodness, they talked about just in terms of uploading pictures, the state is a little bit old now, but really only about a quarter old. They do somewhere in the neighborhood of a petabyte of raw storage just in pictures a day and then they store those in different image formats and so by the time they store the different image formats and they index it, they're looking at about north of 10 petabytes a day in terms of their storage growth and you think, my gosh, what do you do? How do you keep up with that? And I think that's, to your point, you can't have a traditional filer or a traditional storage array keep up with that. So you have to do some very specialized things in order to keep up with that kind of traffic. So you're seeing the spinning disc bottleneck being addressed by Flash, the cold storage, you don't care so much about latencies and the like. So is network, is the network becoming the bottleneck and how is the industry dealing with that? That's a great point, because here to four, a lot of one gig was used in the enterprise and one gig networking was fine for messaging, but now that we're talking about richer and richer content where this content is, as we talked about petabytes worth of data, there's no way you can keep up with that with one gig network. So much of the hyperscale environment has already moved to 10 gig right to the edge. Some of the public cloud infrastructures is rapidly 40 gig, very, very fast network speeds, and a lot of that's to basically globalize their storage pools. So rather than having one giant array that had petabytes worth of data behind that array, now you distribute those petabytes and you have the data fall wherever you can fit it in specialized servers that have lots of storage attached to them. But in order to get at that data now, you end up having very fat pipes, which really has a whole trickle down in terms of how you build your networks. You no longer have aggregation level switches that you have one gig at the edge and maybe 10 gig in your backbones, you have 10 gig all the way to the edge. So your backbones, you have a full cross-sectional bandwidth that's 10 gig everywhere and moving to 40 gig. So I want to understand the premise on this whole notion of data locality. You're saying that increasingly customers will sort of put the data wherever it's most convenient and then you'll architect the network globally, but you're still gonna have fat pipes to get to it because you still gotta move data or function or metadata to and from that location, is that right? That's absolutely it. One of the first premises of the big data environment was actually to move compute to where the data lived because the data was just so massive, but that was predicated on very small pipes. So one gig kind of networking, inexpensive networks. Now what we're seeing is that the data is so massive in some cases. Google has talked about the amount of flat data that they capture on a daily basis being measured in petabytes in the North American market alone. So what ends up happening is you end up having to move that data around in order to make effective use of it. So the idea is your pipes get much fatter to where the idea is to still try and move the compute to where the data is, but many of the servers can't hold as much data as needed to process. So your network is really your universal transport to move that data around, especially the metadata, as you are capturing results from that initial data and storing it elsewhere. You're using the network as your transport. So if I can leave much of the data where it is, act on the metadata, maybe the metadata sitting in fast flash or even in memory, that just changes the whole way in which we look at. Yeah, so, Craig, I wonder if I could poke at that a bit because I can hear Wikibon CTO and co-founder David Fleur yelling in the back of my head, even with fat pipes, the laws of physics rule. And if I have a large amount of data and some of it's here and some of it's there, transporting that data takes a long time. So does it all need to come together? So I think about Amazon has direct connect.  Do I want a colo where I can have my data that I own it, but I have a cloud that basically I can put just a fat pipe over a wall because if we're talking about miles between my data, even if I have a fat pipe, it's not going to get from here to there. No, it's a great point. And one of my favorite stories about that in terms of fat pipe versus overall bandwidth is that many of the huge mega data centers, their fastest data transfer are things like FedEx where they'll take disks that they'll go ahead and do local backup and they'll ship it from one site to the next because they get the best bandwidth that way. And you think, how can that be? But yet even 40 gigabit, 100 gigabit, when you're transferring pedabytes of data, it takes a huge amount of time. That's the technical term for that, those who watch Wikibon SiliconANGLE, the Chevy Truck Access Method. That's it. I love it. So I mean, it's still, locality is still important, but there are some applications and this is the part that we see more and more. The applications are being tailored to what the infrastructure can provide. And so in environments where you truly have data that's so large, you have to make sure that your application is distributed so that you are not moving the data as much. Yeah. So Greg, while we've got you here and we're on this topic, we always talk about, what's the adoption of some of these trends? So in the enterprise we still see at the edge of the server level, it's still a lot of one gig. I think still definitely over 50% one gig trend and 60, 70% maybe, 10 gig and 40 gig starting to come in some of the core. Whereas if I talk about kind of the internet, it's got 100 gig on some of the backbone and the cloud guys have 10 gig pervasive, 40 and 100 gig starting to come out. What are you seeing and what do you expect to see over the next year or two there? What's holding us back? Boy, a lot of interesting trends just in general but I completely concur with you. I mean, we're focused a lot on looking at the enterprise rack and tower where the penetration of one gig is unfortunately, it's about 90 some odd percent, really only about eight to 10% migration or penetration of 10 gig in that classic enterprise rack and tower. We are starting to see signs of that moving though and if we talked about blades, well, blades are predominantly 10 gig today, 85, 90% 10 gig. But we're really looking at the trend of how to get more 10 gig in that rack and tower which is the bulk of the overall enterprise. Tenchi-based T is starting to make more of an impact in that market. That market tends to be dominated by end of row kind of switching and in that kind of environment, just a simple low cost copper DAC cable for 10 gig, it won't reach to the end of row. So Tenchi-based T makes a lot of sense. It does let you upgrade your servers and your switches independently. And now we see from virtually all of the switch vendors, 10 gig Tenchi-based T switches being offered that are pretty competitive and much, much lower power than first, second, even third generation capabilities. So how are the cloud guys affecting this adoption? I mean, you see, if you add up Google and Microsoft and Facebook, it's starting to be more percentage of the overall ports being shipped. I heard it might even be 20% of overall port shipments today, where's their adoption driving things? Well, I think in general, the whole of the cloud or mega data centers, what they do is they give the enterprise, I think, a vision for where they can go from both the economy of scale standpoint and just looking at applications through a new lens. The enterprise still moves quite a bit slower. Part of that's because their scale is much, much lower. When you're putting in an entirely new data center, the way Facebook and some of these other folks do, or deploy tens of racks at a time to deploy an entire application on this new hardware, the classic enterprise typically doesn't do things like that. They typically replace their hardware at the end of a three year or five year lease. And so just the adoption cycles are very different. But having said that, I think what we are seeing is is we're seeing that the costs, some of the classic OEMs have really reduced their pricing strategies on higher speed networking gear and NICs, and I think that can do nothing but help the adoption rates. And plus, I think as virtualization gets more of a foothold, now it's no longer sort of a nice to have technology, it's a mandatory technology, and the scale of it keeps getting larger and larger. And 10 gig is a natural, 10 gig and even beyond is required when you put tens of physical servers on one virtual server platform. So you're watching CUBE Conversations, we're here with Greg Shearer of Broadcom, talking about storage and networking trends. Greg, we were talking about some of the trends around convergence and cloud. SDN, hot buzzwords, you hear it when you go to VMworld and now all over, all kinds of action going on. What's your take on SDN? Does it increase the need, for instance, for specialized appliances? Does it decrease the need? And we're just gonna have commodity components running everywhere, what's your point of view on that? Boy, I mean, SDN is certainly all the rage. You can't open up a trade rag, excuse me, for those of you that publish those. But SDN is everywhere in terms of all of its nomenclature. You know, from Broadcom's standpoint, we think SDN is wonderful. And I do think that it's gonna drive commoditization. Broadcom's not afraid of commoditization, there's many companies that hear that C word and it's a four letter word in their vocabulary. For Broadcom, we're all about volume. So for us, having something that moves towards commodity and being able to use specialized software, but on commodity kind of appliances, server appliances, we've seen this happen with storage in general, in the whole cloud environment. That's really the basis now for storage within the cloud in mega data centers. It's just commodity servers, very specialized software, so that the software is what gives the storage its unique value, global file systems, global object spaces, things like that. And we see that trend increasing and SDN is really gonna do for the whole of the switching infrastructure. And I think even beyond switching infrastructure, it really allows whole applications to be built around this whole concept of building the entire software defined application in both looking at the network and all the compute components as individual components that can be plugged in as needed at the lowest possible cost points. So talking about applications, one of the new emerging applications is of course, big data, you guys are doing some work in big data. You have a big data lab, talk about that a little bit. You bet, so we're very excited because you know, Broadcom is traditionally, you know, and I'll say not just Broadcom, but most networking vendors, we've really focused on microbenchmarks, so things like RFC 2544 to look at what our latency characteristics were or the number of packets per second that we can do at a given network packet size. And those are the things that you'll see published from most folks. What we're really focusing on now, especially when we look at big data, is building out an ecosystem and then testing in the real world and finding out what are the things that we can accelerate when we get closer to that application. Big data being, you know, one of the most important things going on now. But big data is really a conglomeration of there's a compute aspect to big data. There's, you know, a networking aspect in terms of acquiring the data and then sending our results over the network to a different home and then extracting the data out of those results and exporting them maybe to some other kind of SQL or no SQL kind of database. So there's multiple aspects. And so what we've done is we've built up a big data lab to go ahead and really simulate those. So running that in real world environments with tunable parameters to find out what made the biggest difference. What difference does latency have on the overall workload? What difference does bandwidth have on the workload? What difference and what are the things that we could do to accelerate those? So in addition to kind of the big data lab, we've also been looking at sort of web 2.0 workloads, Memcache D, looking at ways to accelerate the application. So getting away from kind of the micro benchmarks to look at how fast a given operation can be done, like how fast we can transport a packet from point A to point B, versus let's look at it from the application standpoint and look at what the response time is for a particular query and what we can do to influence that and how many of those per second we can do from an application perspective as opposed to just looking at it from the micro benchmarks. So Greg, it's so interesting to hear you say that because I think back before we were optimizing, as you said, TCP or iSCSI or some of these things because it was just Microsoft, and I had a billion applications that sat on Microsoft and they all had different requirements. It sounds today there's a few really key applications that are gonna be done at such huge scale that you could focus, because if I think back, 10 years ago, there's no way any company could have said, oh, we're gonna optimize for an application because there's so many of them. So is that what you're seeing then? Are we gonna have, does Hadoop own half the world's storage in five years from now? As I think that was Eric Baldishwire from, made that quote. So where do you see applications going in the future? Well, I think that's such an important aspect, especially as we look at where the world's going in scale. Hadoop has revolutionized the way we store data, the locality issues of pushing compute to where the data is, where possible. But even down to things like Memcache D, to where, and if you blur your eyes a little bit, Memcache D is nothing more than a distributed application to basically look up billions or trillions of objects through a key pair lookup. So you think, well, if we don't call it Memcache D, but we look at it in terms of other applications, what can hardware do to help accelerate those lookups? Because a lot of those lookups are memory-based lookups to where you look up in one table, you hash a key, and then that takes you to a secondary table and another table and so forth. Well, hardware can be quite good at some of those operations, hashing specifically, CRC calculations. So that's the level that we're looking at, but to your point, it's fascinating when you start looking at this from the standpoint of these applications or applications that are derived from Hadoop, Haystack is another application. If you figure out how to accelerate things in Hadoop or things in Memcache, they naturally follow to a whole suite of other capabilities as well. So I think the world is getting more diverse in some respects, but more commonality between the different factions and diversities. So Greg, I love when you come on theCUBE because you could talk about a lot of different things. You could talk about the host side, you could talk about controllers, switches, storage, networking, obviously. Tie it all together for us. You run strategy for server and storage. You mentioned earlier, you welcome commodity. So from a strategy standpoint, how are you guys taking the company sort of beyond those traditional components that are becoming more commodity-like and moving into more of a business value discussion? Oh, you bet, thanks, because we really do see a tremendous amount of change in the data center. And I think 10 years ago, we were almost exclusively focused on hardware-based OEMs and hardware-based distribution methods of Broadcom capabilities. Now, many of our partners are really software partners. Folks that are looking at adding value, both in SDN and Hadoop, general big data, a lot of the applications themselves, and figuring out how to make it easy for those to proliferate through the entire data center. So having a seat in the host as well as a seat in the network I think gives us a very unique position to look at sort of globally looking at the applications and figuring out how to not only accelerate them but make it easier to deploy. Many of these things become buzzwords in the industry. SDN is kind of the current buzzword in the industry. But I think we're also looking at ways to sort of demystify that and make it more practical, take some of the mysterious aspects of it and through our SDK software development kits and through software that we work with partners, figure out ways to show the value proposition and push that out into the marketplace. Well, Greg, thanks very much for coming on to CUBE Conversations. You've been watching on slash Silicon angle. Thanks for watching everybody. We'll see you next time.


Here at Peck Street The Fletcher Field, there's a large parking lot on Peck Street. There's a smaller parking lot on Wachewsitz. This is the new Totlot. It's rainy today, but the opening was just officially made. We'll give you a brief tour. This is one of two playgrounds that are geared for the two to five year olds. So they're primed for this space, for the Tot's two to five year olds. Baseball theme, rather appropriate because it's right here on the baseball fields at Fletcher. Also used for soccer, but Franklin baseball is here. Two large structures with various climbing things, crawling things, swinging things, and of course, what would a Totlot be without a slide? Probably not a Totlot. You've got a nice one here, and you can have slide races over here with a dual slide. So while it's kind of overcast and a little sprinkly today, as this gets into, as the weather turns and gets better, certainly in springtime, this is going to be a prime spot. Lots of kids, I'm sure, will be playing around. Another slide. Two sets of slides here. Some picnic tables. Parents, grandparents can sit and watch the kids out of the space here. The Fletcher Field ball parks in the background. So come out to Fletcher Field and enjoy. This is Steve Sherlock for Franklin Matters. We'll catch you next time.
