That's for them is a worry. I think for us is that first step of saying we need to catch them. ac rwyf am ychydig sydd wedi gwneud o'r cyffredinol o'r fan, i gael gwneud o'r ffordd lleol.

Yn ni'n credu, wedi chi'n ffordd lleol, mae'n ychydig i'r cyffredinol i'r gwaith. Maybe the fact we're not in Europe even though I would prefer we were in Europe. That's definitely the first step for me. Overhauling them. It's got to be. It's got to be. I don't think Arsenal, all that clever, meself I did. I'm not sure the manager's got a firm grip on what he wants to do there. I think they've been alright, but would they've done any way, straight wenger? No, not at all. So, I think I look at them too when I just think big gaps in both of those sides. I think Chelsea are clever either, has that going. I think Chelsea are like a workman like side. I think that you can, that have a little sprinkling. But United, I look at United the horrendous, they're absolutely horrendous at the moment. I mean, Chelsea are themselves said, we can't get near the top two. Which is United, man, I just say in this before the sun has even started. The top, we can't get near them, it's going to take us years to catch them. Which again, is nonsense for any man, I just say because you're literally too transparent in those away from being able to catch the top two. So that to me is busy. But suppose it depends how much money he's got to spend. And if he knows the issues that are facing him to get a team. I think when you're talking about catching Man City in Liverpool, which they're looking at obviously where we can't look at that. You're talking about being able to be consistent. And that's the issue, isn't it? So I suppose for us to leapfrog them, we're talking about consistency as well. United had an unbelievable 10 weeks when he took over. He was like his first nine games are sort of mad like that nap, give them that cushion otherwise. Or Sam Wolves might have been in with a chance of overhauling them. So for next season, you're absolutely right. They look like they need a whole defence. The defence is everywhere. The midfield has got nothing. You know, Pogba is a fantastic footballer when he can be asked. He's got a go, he's a big poster boy, but he's a big problem once there. So if you're looking at the midfield and going, there's all right players, but the front bit is the best bit for United. Rashford's fantastic. I think Marcial on his day is really good. Rom, obviously, but I don't think the car could be there. I think Rom's got the same problem Pogba's got.


Hi guys, welcome back to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Rosal here I was recently talking in one of my camcorder groups on Facebook There's a very good one for Canon X a 40 camcorder owners talking about Something related to microphones and someone mentioned that using a pistol Microphone grip would be a good idea now. I must admit I had never heard of these things But I'm gonna explain what they are what you can use them for and a quicker and cheaper way to make one for yourself So basically when you are using a shotgun microphone like the one I have I'm speaking into on top of my camcorder here Generally the they're very directional and the closer you can get them to the voice of the speaker Without crossing into the frame line the better the audio pickup. You're usually going to get so in big movie productions People are probably familiar with the sight of a boom operator Who's got a big pole and a shotgun microphone at the end and his job is to get it in something that someone recommended that people can do on a more kind of rookie or solo operator friendly level is to just have a decent XLR cable and put your shotgun microphone into a Shock mount and then if you've got one hand on the camera You can have one hand on your microphone and sort of try to do a DIY boom job yourself of trying to get the Mic in closer to your interview subject so you can do this by yourself or if you have a second person that'd be great now I was expect I was not expecting these devices are basically just a hand grip and a shock mount together I wasn't expecting them to really cost as much as they did I didn't I only found one or two on Amazon and they were like a hundred bucks and a lot of people were Complaining about the price of them. So I thought to myself well I probably actually already have enough stuff in my camera box to make these without even needing to Get anything new and it turns out I did so let me show you what you can do If you want to save yourself a bit of money first thing I had is this pistol grip and I use this for my old camcorder the Canon Vixia HFR 800 And it's just a little thing that fits into your hand like this It makes it a bit easier to grip and stabilize your camcorder.  The second thing I needed is a shock mount. This is a rather large shock mount You can get them in different sizes. I mean you have to pay attention to the thread size on the inside This is where it starts to get very finicky because if anyone anyone who's Experimented with microphones and audio gear knows there is one over four three over eight and five over eight What I find helpful is buying a thread adapter kit that gives you a ton of different permutations so this what I have here to the best of my knowledge. It's one over four female. That's a One over four female at the bottom here and coming up as a three over eight male So it's a female to male Thread size extender I guess because we're adding to the thread size. So taking my shock mount. I simply screw in my thread adapter making sure it's Good and tight. So now that's All the way in and then I just take my Grip now it's definitely as you can see this is not a work of beauty There we go. I'm just making sure it's screwed fully But it should get the job done. So now I've got myself a little handheld grip I'm what I can do is just thread a microphone through this with the decently decently sized XLR cable I can even adjust the position of the microphone here and then with one hand on my camera I can actually and it's gonna might look a little bit funny But I can use this for a sort of a manual boom method So that's the way if you don't want to pay the 90 dollars for one of these and you happen to have or you can Even buy these components by components. These were about 10 $15 the pistol grips shock mount It's probably the same and threaded afters are a couple of dollars each So with the cumulative tote cumulative cost of these components is still actually going to be quite a bit less than the Ready assembled ones, but it won't look quite as pretty Arguably what this should get the job done and I've been using it for a couple of videos I just played around with it and seems to do a good job at getting your getting the microphone in closer to the Person you're trying to record.

Live from San Francisco, it's theCUBE, covering Pure Accelerate 2017. Brought to you by Pure Storage. Welcome back to Pure 70 in San Francisco, everybody. This is theCUBE, the leader in live tech coverage, and we're here at Covering Pure Accelerate 2017. Andy Vandeveld is here, he's the vice president of Strategic Alliances at Veeam and Rajiv Rajavasi, ready. I'm going to do that again. Rajavasi, ready. Awesome. Did I get it? I love it. VP of Solutions at Pure. I thought I had it, Rajiv. You were so close. All right, next time. I hope you come back so I can get it right. Anyway, welcome to theCUBE. Andy, good to see you again. I tweeted out today, I was joking. Veeam is like theCUBE, they're everywhere. And you guys have been having great fun hosting parties and of course you're here now. We heard you up on the main stage today. So let's start with the partnership. What are you guys doing with Veeam? So Veeam, we get a lot of requests from the field to partner more closely with Veeam. So we have a lot of common customers. If you look at our basically where we come from and where Veeam comes from, both of us have virtualization as a common thread and the traditional backup software had to come into virtualization after the fact. So retrofit for virtualization. Whereas if you look at where Veeam started with virtualization, if you look at Pure, it's a similar history, right? So we came during the virtualization phase where people were trying to do 100% virtualized data centers. So both of us have this affinity for simplicity, a virtualization centric, and efficiency and performance. Obviously Pure is all about performance. So there's a lot of natural synergies between Veeam and what Pure does. And Andy, we talk about this all the time, backup. For years it's just been a bolt on, it's been an afterthought, it's been one size fits all. I mean, I've written a lot about some of the challenges with backup. And now, talk about the announcement that you're making. Snapshots are not backups, right? But they could be a critical enabler. So talk about the announcement and exactly what you guys are doing. Yeah, so as Rajiv was saying, we hear a lot from customers and a lot from partners about the customers wanting native snapshot integration with Pure Storage. So that's what we announced today. We're in the lab, we're working through development right now. Provided the APIs to Pure. And our target is to get full snapshot integration out in GA, sometime shortly after our version 10 hits the market. Okay, and this is block starting, we block and eventually it's files on the roadmap. So basically, as Andy was mentioning, we have the SDK, we have signed the non-disclosures, mutual non-disclosures with each other. And we have Veeam's SDK. So our engineering is working on it. And we were planning to get this out, a snapshot based integration with Veeam. And we are also in parallel working on solutions for FlashBlade along with Veeam as well. Okay, so I want to definitely talk about solutions, since that's important and that's obviously your title. What about, what are the real use cases that you guys are seeing that you're going after? Let's start there and then we'll get into solutions. You want me to take it? Yeah, sure. So obviously, I mean, the no-brainer, virtual server, virtual desktops, Veeam is very strong, Pior has a ton of that in their customer base. And those are basically low-hanging fruit for both of us. All right, others that you feel will emerge over time? Pretty much. I mean, if you really think about it, even databases- Right, I was going to say- It runs way out, but they run in VMs. And so we do those backups as well, right? So there's a lot of databases that run on Pior as well. Are you doing much, does Veeam do much in Oracle? Is that a big market for you, or not so much yet, or is it emerging? I mean, Oracle Database is certainly a backup source for us. But in terms of applications, I think we look at more of how do we facilitate the movement of those virtual machines and the backing up and the availability of those virtual machines from the storage perspective. So we'll move into the application layer as we go along and as we make more and more of our push into the enterprise. But I think right now it's focused on how do we take the virtual machines and the files in the storage environments and orchestrate those across the various environments that customers are finding themselves in, whether it's on-premise, whether it's in the cloud, some combination of the both of them. Well, that's your fundamental to the strategy. You kind of like Snoop, multi-cloud. All right, Rajiv, let's talk about an inside joke.  Maybe we'll tweet it out a picture, show you what we made. Anyway, Rajiv, let's talk about solutions. What are solutions to you and Pior, what specific solutions are you working on? So basically if you look at our portfolio of offerings, we have FlashArray, which is a block-based array, which is iSCSI and FiberChannel as protocols. Then we have FlashBlade, which we GA'd earlier this year, and FlashBlade is targeting NextGen applications. So a very large customer is using us for artificial intelligence and machine learning. We are targeting applications like IoT, big data analytics, so all the cool stuff, the NextGen workloads, that's where FlashBlade is targeted. We are doing file and object. So just today we GA'd our S3 implementation of FlashBlade, and we have NFS support, and we also have SMB support with FlashBlade. So that's targeting the NextGen workloads, the file and object workloads, and, sorry, FlashBlade is, and FlashArray is targeting the block workloads. And then we have a partnership with Cisco, it's a jointly branded convergent infrastructure we call FlashStack. So these are all the portfolios that we have. And as you can tell, the solutions on the FlashArray side are mostly, if you will, virtual servers, virtual desktops, databases, Oracle SQL, and of that nature. And then I already talked to you about the FlashBlade application. FlashStack can incorporate FlashArray as well as FlashBlade. So. Okay, and then, you know, in talking to some of the Veeam customers over the last several weeks, many of them lacked before they found you guys a disaster recovery strategy, and they sort of got one by default. Does that fit in terms of what you guys are doing together? Do you find that similar in the pure customer base? I wonder if you could talk about DR for a moment. Yeah, I mean, DR is definitely a strong solution and value proposition that we can bring together. You know, customers need that. And as we move more and more into the enterprise, that becomes so mission critical for that enterprise class of customers. Not only do they want the availability, but in the event of some disaster, they want to have that ability to recover. And I think doing the native snapshot integration gives us an even stronger solution to take into the DR market, whether it's a DR on-premise, DR as a service, with service providers, whatever that mix is, it really does give us that more robust solution. And I think that's, you know, in addition to the other value propositions and other use cases that Rajiv talked about, that is a big one. Rajiv, maybe talk about the nature of the partnership.  What about the go to market? What's going on in the channel? So basically, again, there's a lot of synergies there, right? So we have a direct sales force in SODA's Veeam, but we are 100% go through the channel in SODA's Veeam. And it turns out a lot of our channel partners are also Veeam's channel partners. And there is scope for us to do incentive programs and so on and so forth, right? And so there's a lot of synergy right there. And combined that with Cisco and the FlashStack, both of us have Cisco as a partner. And it turns out Cisco's channel partners are pretty much near 100% overlap with ourselves. And I'll let Andy speak for our Veeam, but I suspect there's a lot of the same partners that also sell Veeam. Yeah, so I think that's, you know, another aspect of the relationship that really when we started looking at, you know, what's the next integration that we're going to do? This was an important one for us. What's the go to market? And it just seems so aligned. And it was aligned with not just between ourselves, but with that common partner in Cisco and the reseller communities around all of our businesses. So that was a real point of interest for us in deciding to do this integration. Not only were you hearing it from customers, but the infrastructure, the ecosystem of partners was something that we just readily take advantage of. Well, it's no secret that you guys both compete with Dell EMC and obviously a merger of that size has to have an effect on the channel. How have you specifically been able to take advantage of that or have you been? And has it, you know, been substantial? Of course, right? I mean, anytime you have mergers of that size, there's some level of uncertainty in the channel market. You know, customers don't deal with uncertainty well when you combine two big companies that have a lot of overlapping products. There's always that. And so we've definitely made the hay out of that. So you've specifically picked up channel partners that say, hey, I really want to give you guys a look that might not have four or? So basically that is part of what we've done. The other part is also the existing channel. I mean, there are some channel partners who sell both portfolios, right? I mean, a lot of channel partners have multiple portfolios. And so what's that? A mix, a share shift or a mix in the? It's a combination of what I would say, yeah. Okay, how about you guys? Yeah, I would say the same thing. You know, eventually they're going to figure it out and they're going to get it right. I think everybody should expect that. But in the meantime, there has been some disruption. And I think partners are looking around and saying, okay, where am I going to make my money? Are the assets in that portfolio of those two merged companies going to even still exist? And as that all starts to get, it works its way out, there's a gap in time. And I think that we've been able to fill that gap from a data protection standpoint. Pure's been able to fill that from storage standpoint. And we're taking advantage of this opening that we've got. Well, and it's interesting, I want to talk more about the channel because in the context of solutions, Rajiv, because if you look at the channel and the way it's evolving, you know, you got the box sellers and we love them. And that's probably where most of the business still is even today. But that business is declining. And we know that, you know, those channel partners, they had great businesses, they still do, they got boats and mansions and whatever else. But that business is in decline and margins are under pressure. And then you've got sort of the solution folks. And this is sort of where I want to get your feedback. Solutions used to be defined as SAP, Oracle, VMware. Now you're talking about these emerging solutions around data, analytics, IoT, machine learning, a whole new set of solutions players. And then of course, it's the cloud, cloud service providers and ISVs. And it seems like the channel is in flux in a big way. So to the extent that, you know, a company like EMC, and maybe saw this somewhat with IBM as well when they sold off X86 and VNT, to the extent that their channel is in any kind of, you know, uncertainty or turmoil, how do you see the channel shaping and emerging and how are you taking advantage of, first of all, is what I described accurate and how are you guys taking advantage of it? Absolutely. And you know, there's also another trend that you didn't talk about that's also, I mean, cloud, right? It's the elephant in the room. It's the cloud is here and people want to sort of look at what they want to do with the cloud, right? When we talk about customers. And it is a challenge as well as an opportunity for channel partners, right? So basically, if you look at, for example, what we're doing with Flash Stack and with Veeam, right? We are still providing infrastructure. An infrastructure by itself is not a solution. You also, if you look at what the IT folks are dealing with is their developers. So you can go to the cloud and you can actually go ahead and the developers can go ahead and provision themselves VMs and everything else very quickly, right? They don't even know what infrastructure is running underneath it. Now the challenge for the IT folks is to see how they can provide a similar experience to their user base. And a lot of the times they could be developers, right? Yeah, right. So it's incumbent on us and Veeam and everybody else to provide an infrastructure that also ties in. When you say solutions, there's tiers of solutions, right? You need to have automation orchestration, they're solutions. You need to have management solutions that still provide infrastructure. And then you have applications that run on top of that infrastructure, right? So the channel partners have a lot of scope to actually add services. And if you really think about channel folks, right? I mean, the good ones, they always want to make money on services not on selling pushing boxes, right? Like you called earlier. That's where they hit their margin. And it's a great opportunity for them right now. Margin, stickiness, loyalty, I mean, all that stuff. And the fact that the sort of definition of a solution is evolving is an opportunity for those players who can move really fast. And we see our channel partners trying to do a good job in that space right now and evolving there. Do you, when you look at both of you, when you look at that mix that I talked about, I said 70% are sort of box sellers, okay? Well, you guys don't sell boxes, but you know what I mean? Is your mix weighted more toward solutions in your companies or? Yeah, I mean, you know, I would say we kind of measure it more on on-prem and, you know, versus cloud or some sort of subscription managed service environment. But, you know, we definitely see the higher growth coming from those non-on-prem environments. And I think that's, you know, a place where the more advanced resellers are spinning up services. Uh-huh. And, you know, we're following that trend. We're seeing that trend right before our eyes. And yesterday we had our global partner forum here and Hatfield, our CIO was on stage and he basically highlighted what we call the scarcity model. We don't sign up thousands of channel partners. We sign up a few channel partners who add real value and we make sure that they're doing just as well as we're doing. So if you look at pure, right, we have about, I think the official number is north of 3,300 or so customers, but our revenue is very high relative to that, right? So we are selling to enterprise customers who need, you add a lot of value, you have to sell solutions, you just can't sell a box and be done with it, right? Yeah, I think that's a really important point. All right, Gents, we got to leave it there. Thanks very much for coming to theCUBE. Good to see you guys. Yeah, thank you. All right, keep it right there, everybody. We'll be back with our next guest right after this short break. This is theCUBE, we're live from Pier 70 in San Francisco at Pure Accelerate. We'll be right back.
