Discussing cybersecurity and business value 💡 In this #theCUBE + NYSE #CyberWeek highlight, we take a look back at our conversation with David Vellante and Saket Modi, CEO of Safe Security, where he talks about their approach to helping companies translate technical cybersecurity jargon into business impact. “Today, cybersecurity is no longer a technical problem, it's a business problem. If a company gets hacked, the CEO, the board is concerned because business gets affected. The techies will talk about vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, malwares, etc, but the CEO … cares about, ‘Tell me how much will my revenue go down? How much will it cause an outage? What will be the impact on my brand, which will have a function on my stock price?,’” Modi shares. “That's exactly what we do for companies. We go in and we integrate with these security solutions and we translate technical jargon into business impact,” he adds. 🔴 Watch every episode of this special series! https://lnkd.in/dvD6aAxN #EnterpriseAI #WallStreetANGLE #DataGovernance John Furrier, Brian J.

Exploring use cases for Oracle Database on Azure for cloud migrations ✨ Here is a quick rewind to #MSIgnite 24, where #theCUBE’s Bob Laliberte speaks with Kambiz Aghili, VP of multicloud at Oracle, about the two major cloud migration use cases among organizations for Oracle Database on Microsoft Azure. “There are two different kinds of migration modernization. One is that customers are on premises. They have a variety of customer-facing package applications where the application server databases also sit on-prem and use a variety of native tooling to make it super easy for customers to move the entire stack of application and database to the cloud,” Aghili shares. He continues, saying, “in the case of the Oracle Database at Azure, they're able to move all those application bases to the cloud. Zero Downtime Migration (ZDM) creates a kind of SSH host and carries the data very seamlessly that downtime over to the cloud. Customers are also able to utilize Azure, Kubernetes Services, Azure DevOps and everything seamlessly in and across.” “Another use case that we see is where customers want to consolidate hundreds of databases that are otherwise in a virtual machine or infrastructure as a service to simply improve performance or use costs. We help customers optimize cost with elastic consumption,” Aghili concludes. 📺 Get more insights! https://lnkd.in/dZVBtMTh 

Addressing top challenges when moving to EKS 🤔 In this #reInvent ‘24 throwback, #theCUBE speaks with Barry Cooks, VP of Kubernetes at Amazon Web Services (AWS), on key factors organizations should consider before adopting Elastic Kubernetes Service. “There are a couple of different ways people look at the cautionary side of jumping into Kubernetes. On the one hand, we have very sophisticated customers with large operations teams full of developers who know Kubernetes deeply. For them, I have to release control. I'm ceding some of this to AWS. I'm trusting you to manage components that I know well. I got to understand how this shared responsibility model is going to lay out and how that's going to work,” Cooks shares. “On the other side of the spectrum, you have a lot of folks who have heard about Kubernetes. It is very popular. For them, it's understanding the key things you are taking on your side when you go on the Kubernetes journey, and how do we make that easier for you,” he adds. 📰 Read more: https://lnkd.in/dxH_p9aZ Rob Strechay

Improving efficiency for OpEx and CapEx engineers ✨ Join #theCUBE in the NYSE Wired #CyberWeek series, where we learn how the Naavik platform boosts productivity and efficiency for OpEx and CapEx engineers from Anand Chandrasekher, CEO of Aira Technology . “If you want to observe and analyze the network, you would have to write scripts and programs to extract the information out of the network. With our Naavik platform, you simply query it in English, and Naavik will scan the various databases, pull it, write the code, and present it to you. It can also do anomaly detection and root cause analysis. You can even write small automation or complex automations. All of those things improve the efficiency of the RF engineers,” Chandrasekher shares. “CapEx is the hard one. We've developed this technology that allows us to do a much better job of beam management. We are able to classify at the base station the personality of the base station. Machine learning is phenomenal for classification. So, we use those classification capabilities to determine the location and personality of the base station,” he adds. 🔴 Watch every episode of this special series! https://lnkd.in/dvD6aAxN #EnterpriseAI #WallStreetANGLE #DataGovernance John Furrier, Brian J.

How can business leaders maximize AI investments? 🤖 In the latest AI Insights & Innovation episode, #theCUBE Research’s David Linthicum digs into a recent Deloitte report highlighting a clear gap between how business and technology leaders perceive the value of #GeAI. “The data shows that business and technology leaders are not on the same page about what they're trying to achieve from technology investments. The answer to what they can be doing is working to close that gap. That comes through communications of what the business is trying to achieve from a strategic perspective, in one direction. From the technology leaders, what they see as the maturity, capabilities, and blockers in terms of that technology's ability to be able to achieve those things,” Diana Kearns-Manolatos (she/her) shares. “The second thing is having a holistic and consistent way to set and measure against achieving those objectives. That gets into this issue of technology value and return on investment. That's something that both business and technology leaders care about, she adds. 📺 Watch more: https://lnkd.in/d9RjpYKY

In this AnalystANGLE, #theCUBE Research’s Christophe Bertrand is joined by Gleb Budman, CEO of Backblaze, to talk about the unique capabilities of the company’s GPUs. “Different organizations have GPUs available. There are LLM models and AI services popping up all over the place. If companies keep their data inside of an Amazon or a Google, their data is locked into just using the services inside of that ecosystem. Backblaze makes your data free and easy to get wherever it needs to go,” Budman shares. “We recently signed a large AI customer. They previously were on one of the traditional hyperscalers. They needed GPUs from somewhere else, so they took all their data and moved it to Backblaze. Now, they're able to use the data in any GPU provider that they want. It frees them to innovate, but they also are saving a dramatic amount of money because we're about one fifth the price of the traditional cloud providers for the storage of the data,” he adds. 📺 Watch the complete discussion: https://lnkd.in/dasdSeJK 

At #theCUBE + @nyse Wired #CFOSummit, we heard from Gopi Reddy Sirineni, CEO of Axiado Corporation, about the configuration requirements for running their chip. “For us, it's based on how much attestations, authentication, and how many applications and LLMs you're going to run in the chip. Based on that, we'll play the size of how many keys I need to generate, how fast I need to authenticate and attest, and how many variables. We don't have a billion parameters like a bigger main AI, but still, hundreds of thousands of parameters we have to handle,” Sirineni shares. “The concept is the same. You go to the camera, you don’t have that many so it should be okay. But if you go further to the point of sale, every transaction needs to be monitored. Same way you come to the platform security, more modular, more cards, and more graphics with more GPU. More accelerators you add, the more complex that becomes,” he adds. 🔴 Watch every segment from the broadcast! https://lnkd.in/dhqb5b5M #CFOtrends #EnterpriseTech #WallStreetANGLE John Furrier, Brian J.

Unpacking the capabilities of Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) 💡 Here is a quick rewind to #MSIgnite 2024, where #theCUBE speaks with Lee Caswell, SVP of product & solutions marketing at Nutanix, about building on the AKS platform. “It’s important for customers to decide where I want to spend my critical staffing resources. Ideally, what you'd like to do is train once, run many. Within the Azure environment, getting familiar with AKS and how we have from a Nutanix standpoint, this consistent operating model for being able to have integrated security policies across this hybrid environment that are the same,” Caswell shares. “One interesting thing is the data services that are super important for customers thinking about snapshots, replication, and DR. These have always been the hallmarks of enterprise value for infrastructure providers, super important for a database and an AI application where these new applications offer speed and productivity enhancements for customers. It means that these applications are going to be as business-critical as anything we've ever built,” he adds. 📺 Watch the complete discussion and other key moments from our Microsoft Ignite Unpacked broadcast! https://lnkd.in/erq5vgxJ Rob Strechay
