It is unprecedented because this is the first time one of the creators of one of the most that we all know that there is time on that plane.  I was absolutely delighted to meet the extraordinary creator, it's been one year since we had the chance to talk about community violence and violence, and despite the fact that I've been doing some good work on that, it's been all that I know of it. Get out of here on that plane. Use your time and use your experiences. Use your time and use your experiences, not so much as the previous ones in my time. The work is down the road. There's also been millions of years. Not only are there new times, but there's also new things to learn. There's all this power to bring millions of years and years to come. To be able to experience new times and see the work of new things, it's been a privilege of a lifetime. I would like to talk a little bit about the author community and the work that he has mentioned. He's not only from a family of teachers and students, but I would say that the best work of the community is the town and community. The town's not only community, but it's from the mind of the community and community, and the education of the kids that are learning from all the students in the town. And I would say that it is the main community that is a community and who are even making forward to your existing students today. Your excellence is talked about today as a continuation of the long tradition of the exchange of knowledge between the town and India. Your excellency, today we look forward to your work to business that I'm confident will inspire all the students in the town. Thank you. Welcome. Your excellency, this will be just a little bit of a gentleman. We now come to the moment, the moment that all of you are waiting for. It is a great honor and privilege that you inspire your excellency to be learning your way forward. Your excellency, Dr. Lout is chairing, Prime Minister of Bhutan, honorable members of the National Assembly and the National Council of Bhutan, distinguished Vice Chancellor and faculty members of the Royal University of Bhutan. My young friends, Kujujangpala, Namashvara, it is a wonderful feeling to be with you all here this morning. I'm sure you are thinking today it's Sunday and you have to attend a lecture. But I will keep it brief and on topics that you would relate with. Friends, anyone visiting Bhutan is struck as much by its natural beauty as by the warm compassion and simplicity of its people. Yesterday, I was at Semptokha Jung, the foremost example of the richness of Bhutan's past and the greatness of its spiritual heritage. During this visit, I've had the opportunity to interact closely with the present leadership of Bhutan. I once again receive their guidance for the India-Bhutan relationship which has always benefited from their close and personal attention. Now today, I am here with the future of Bhutan. I can see the dynamism and feel the energy. I am confident that this will shape the future of this great nation and its citizens. Whether I look at Bhutan's past, present or future, the common and constant states are deep spirituality and youthful vigor. These are also the strengths of our bilateral relationship. Friends, it is natural that the people of Bhutan and India experience great attachment to each other. After all, we are close not just due to our geography. Our history, culture and spiritual traditions have created unique and deep bonds between our people and nations. India is fortunate to be the land where Prince Siddharth became Gautam Buddha and from where the light of his spiritual message, the light of Buddhism spread all over the world. Generations of mounts, spiritual leaders, scholars and seekers have burned that flame bright in Bhutan. They have also nurtured the spatial bond between India and Bhutan. As a result, our shared values have shaped a common world view. This is visible in Varanasi and Baudhgaya and also in Jhongs and Charpans. And as people, we are fortunate to be the living vehicle of this greatly the sea. No other two countries in the world understand each other so well or share so much. And no two countries are such natural partners in bringing prosperity to their people. Friends, today India is witnessing historic transformation in a wide range of sectors. India is eliminating poverty faster than ever before. The pace of infrastructure construction had doubled in the last five years. We have just placed about 15 billion dollars for next generation infrastructure. India is home to the world's largest healthcare program, Aushman Bharat, that offers health assurance to 500 million Indians. India has among the cheapest data connectivity in the world, which is directly and indirectly empowering millions. India is also home to among the biggest startup ecosystem in the world. This is indeed a great time to innovate in India. These and many other transformations have the dreams and aspirations of the youth of India at their core. Friends, today I stand here among the best and the brightest youth of Bhutan. His Majesty told me yesterday that he interacts with you regularly and had addressed the last convocation. It is from you all that Bhutan's future leaders, innovators, business persons, sports persons, artists and scientists will emerge. A few days back my good friend, Prime Minister Dr. Chhering wrote a Facebook post that touched my heart. In that post he mentioned about exam warriors and just now also that student mentioned about that book. The boy, exam warrior, a book I wrote about how to face exams without stress. Everyone faces exams in school and colleges and also in the larger classroom of life. Can I tell you something? Much of what I wrote in exam warriors is influenced by the teachings of Lord Buddha. Particularly the importance of positivity, overcoming fear and living in oneness. Be it with present moment or with mother nature. You are born in this great land. Therefore these traits come naturally to you and shape your personality. When I was young the search of these traits took me all the way to the Himalayas. As children of this blaze soil I am confident that you will contribute to finding solutions to the problems of our world. Yes, we have challenges but for every challenge we have young minds to find innovative solutions to overcome them. Let no limitation constraint you. I want you to tell you there is no better time to be young than now world than now. The world today offers more opportunities than ever before. You have the power and potential to do extraordinary things which will impact generations to come. Find your real calling and pursue it with full passion. Friends, India Bhutan cooperation in hydropower and energy is exemplary but the real source of power and energy of this relationship are our people. So it is people first and people will always be at the center of this relationship. This spirit is clearly seen in the outcomes of this visit. Going beyond the traditional sectors of cooperation we are seeking to cooperate extensively in new frontiers from schools to space, digital payment to disaster management, our cooperation in all these sectors will have a direct impact on young friends like you. Let me give some examples. In this day and age it is crucial to connect scholars and academic beyond borders so that creativity and talent of our students bring them at par with the best in the world. Cooperation between India's national knowledge network and Bhutan's Dukren which became a reality yesterday will serve this purpose. It will provide secure and fast connectivity between our university research institutions libraries healthcare and agricultural universities. I urge you all to make full use of this facility. Friends another example is the frontiers of space at this very moment India's second moon mission and two is on the way to the moon. By 2022 we intend to place an Indian in space on Indian spacecraft all these are the results of India's own achievements. For us the space program is not just a matter of national pride it is a vital instrument of national development and global cooperation. Friends yesterday Prime Minister chairing and I also inaugurated the Thimphu ground station of the South Asia satellite and expanded our space cooperation. Through satellites benefits of telemedicine distance education resource mapping weather forecast and even warning of natural disasters will reach even remote areas. It is even a matter of great happiness that young Bhutanese scientists will travel to India to work on designing and launching Bhutan's own small satellite. I hope that someday soon many of you will be scientists engineers and innovators friends for centuries education and learning have been central to this tide between India and Bhutan. In ancient times Buddhist teachers and scholars formed the bridge of learning between our peoples. This is a priceless heritage which we wish to preserve and promote. Therefore we welcome more students from Buddhism more students of Buddhism from Bhutan in institutions such as Nalanda University a historical global seat for learning and Buddhist traditions which is revived at the very place where it existed 1500 years ago. The bond of learning between us is as modern as it is ancient. In the 20th century many Indians came to Bhutan as teachers. Most Bhutanese citizens of older generations would have had at least one Indian teacher during their education. Some of them were honored by His Majesty last year and we are grateful for the gesture of generous and kind gesture. Friends, at any point of our over 4000 students from Bhutan are engaged in studies in India this number can and should grow. As we march forward to develop our countries we also need to keep pace with ever-changing technological landscape. It is therefore important that we collaborate in all areas of emerging technologies and education. I am happy that yesterday we have begun new chapters of engagement between India's higher IITs and this prestigious university. We hope that this will lead to more collaborative learning and research. Friends, in any part of the world if we ask the question what do you associate with Bhutan the answer will be the concept of gross national happiness. I am not surprised. Bhutan has understood the essence of happiness. Bhutan has understood the spirit of harmony, togetherness and compassion. This very spirit radiates from the adorable children who lined the streets to welcome me yesterday. I will always remember their smiles. Friends, Swami Vivekananda had said every nation has a message to deliver ambition to fulfill or destiny to reach. Bhutan's message to humanity is happiness. Happiness which springs from harmony the world can do with a lot more happiness. Happiness which shall prevail over mindless hate. If people are happy there will be harmony. Where there is harmony there will be peace and it is peace that will help societies as you progress through sustainable development. In a time where development is often seen in conflict with tradition and the environment the world had much to learn from Bhutan. Here development, environment and culture are not at loggerheads but are in synergy with the creativity energy and commitment of our youth our nations can achieve all that is required for sustainable future that is water conservation our sustainable agriculture or making our societies free of single youth plastic friends. During my last visit to Bhutan I had the privilege to visit the temple of democracy the parliament of Bhutan. Today I have the honour to visit this temple of learning. Today we also have in the audience honourable members of the parliament of Bhutan I especially thank them for their distinguished patience democracy and education both aim to set us free. Neither can be complete without the other and both help us to achieve our fullest potential and be the best we can. This seat of learning will once again set free our spirit of enquiry and will also keep the student within us allowed at Bhutan source high in this endeavours your 1.3 billion Indian friends will not only just look on and cheer you with pride and happiness but also they will partner you share with you and learn from you with these words I would like to thank the Chancellor of the Royal University of Bhutan the King, the Vice Chancellor and the Faculty of the University and all of you my young friends you all have honoured me with your invitation and given me so much time attention and even more affection I go back with a lot of happiness and energy from you all thank you, thank you very much Taasi Del Thank you Your Excellency for your words of wisdom and inspiration I now request Kile Namge student


Live from the Wynn Resort in Las Vegas. It's theCUBE, covering .next conference 2016. Brought to you by Nutanix. Now, here are your hosts, Dave Vellante and Stu Miniman. Welcome to Las Vegas, everybody. We're here at the Wynn Hotel. We're live at the Nutanix .next hashtag next conf. Two days of wall-to-wall coverage of the Nutanix innovations, the customers, the stories, the evolution of scale, out, cloud. Nutanix, Stu started, I'm here with my cohost, Stu Miniman. They started this whole meme of hyper-convergence, actually started in the customer base, sort of followed on the converged infrastructure themes. And now you see Nutanix growing like crazy. They'll do probably over $400 million this year in revenue. They're a privately held company, but they filed their S1, so we have a little bit of visibility and information on them. Probably do over $600 million this year in bookings based on what it looks like in the first half and the second quarter. But basically you see them, Stu, expanding their TAM beyond what everybody else in the industry is sort of pivoting toward hyper-converged infrastructure. You now see Nutanix evolving its TAM into enterprise cloud, what we call true private cloud. The attributes of public cloud on-prem. Last year we did the inaugural conference at the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami. 900 people this year, 2,500 people at the win, beautiful venue. I would say, Stu, they're going to outgrow that next year, but so Stu, welcome. Great to be co-hosting with you again. Yeah, thanks, Dave. So, you know, the Nutanix show, it's a fun show. There's good energy. You know, there's a lot of discussions that infrastructure really has become pretty boring, but in the infrastructure space, this is one of the most exciting things going on. Nutanix is really trying to make things invisible. They started really with that storage layer. Last year, they added in some of the virtualization layer with the Acropolis hypervisor, they call AHV now, and really they're trying to move all the way up to be enterprise cloud is the messaging this year. We're going to have Howard Ting, the CMO on, shortly to help, you give us some of the key messages coming out of the show. A lot of announcements, everything from multi-hypervisor, raising Microsoft's sum, we're just containers fit into this, you know, bare metal, you know, so many different pieces to build this out. So many people looked at hyperconvergence and they said, oh, it's this one little block, and of course it's much more than that. When we wrote our server scan, you know, definition and forecast, we think this is a wave leveraging a lot of technologies. What we see in the hyperscale environments, distributed architectures, it's really that software-defined storage space, and that's where Nutanix is leveraging it. And as you said, they're the market leader in revenue for hyperconverged infrastructure, but they're moving well beyond that, to as you said, virtualization, cloud and beyond. So the seminal moment in this, one of them anyway, in this company's tenure, we first introduced Nutanix to our cube audience at VMworld, and at the time it was like, okay, hey, another infrastructure player, hopping on the VMware bandwagon, riding the coattails of the VMware ecosystem. Nutanix made a decision several years ago, not to OEM and become a reseller of VMware. Unlike, for instance, HP and IBM, which used to, in Dell, even, which used to brag on the amount of VMware licenses that it would resell, you're now hearing those companies sort of change their tune. Nutanix made a decision not to OEM the VMware platform, and that created a little bit of friction. But what it also created is an opportunity for Nutanix to create, essentially, its own hypervisor platform, Acropolis, which we learned last year in talking to a number of customers, very excited about the capabilities of being able to move workloads off of VMware onto more cost-effective platforms. Where it makes sense, maybe not the mission critical stuff, but avoiding the V-tax, as they talk about. So this is a huge theme of this conference and the practitioners at this conference, the number one clap, and it was more than a golf clap than the audience today, and there were several, was no longer do you need to log into vCenter to manage your infrastructure. You can manage everything from the single pane of glass at Nutanix, that's what Cineal Potty said, the chief product officer of Nutanix. And so that got the biggest applause. I've likened this conference to .conf from Splunk, from the early days of Service Now, from Tableau, where the audience enthusiasm is genuine, Stu. What's your take? Yeah, absolutely, and you talked to things like multi-hypervisor management, it's a little bit of a future roadmap that's going to come in the asterisk release, 4.7 is kind of the current release, but what matters in the stack and what's sticky, Dave? When we first looked at Nutanix, God, the first time I looked at Nutanix it was because, hey, they were using Fusion IO cards in there, and we knew that Flash was going to change architectures in common REO and Nutanix were a couple of early providers that were leveraging that technology. Today, they don't use Fusion IO, they use a few different Flash technologies. Inside from a compute standpoint, they use SuperMicro. Today, they OEM, Lenovo, they OEM with Dell, there's discussion about, hey, what about Cisco? There's a CRN report saying that they're going to maybe meet in the channel for that kind of environment, maybe even HP, so the server maybe doesn't matter, and Nutanix thinks that the hypervisor just becomes a feature also, so they're not trying to become the market leader in the hypervisor with Acropolis, they're just trying to say, hey, here's the KVM based option, it ships native on our platform, if you want to save money, if you want to have good basic solid functionality that has security built in, has ease of use and simplicity built in, you don't need to have that extra layer of paying for and managing separately the environment, they want to be a platform, platform might be overused, but Nutanix gave why they think that they will be a platform for infrastructure going forward. So the company's reason for being is really simplification, simplifying infrastructure, they talk about making infrastructure invisible at Wikibon, we've quantified that between $200 and $300 billion is going to shift from non-productive IT labor, non-differentiated IT labor into what we call vendor R&D, whether it's software defined or appliances, that's a shift that Nutanix is accelerating, we're going to be talking about that, there's a lot of stuff going on, there's deals with Microsoft around Azure, there's native Docker support, Docker persistence, all kinds of things that we're going to be discussing today, plus the roadmap, so keep right there, wall-to-wall coverage of Nutanix.next, hashtag nextconf, this is theCUBE, SiliconANGLE's flagship production, we go out to the events, we extract the signal from the noise, we'll be right back after this short break.
