Starting soon…there’s a rumor that Apple Watches will be given out for Twitter activity…

Started with Ilumenate again – now Jeremy Burton on stage….

Jeremy Burton

• Talking about Platform 2 vs. 3
• Platform 2 = dogs, Platform 3 = chickens
• You take care of your Platform 2 apps and nurse them back to health.
• You shoot a Platform 3 app and spin another one up.

• In the 90’s lot of talk about data warehouses, today a lot of talk about analytics.
• Lots of themes going by pretty fast…
• Cloud Aware – cloud API’s and support various Cloud Stacks
• Open 2.0 – looking more and more at open source.
• Rack-Scale Flash Storage –

1. Announced Data Lakes – Isilon and ECS are part of that.
   • Isilon = Scale-Out File & HDFS
   • Isilon – natively supports a ton of protocols – FTP, NFS, SMB, HDFS, REST, NDMP, HTTP, SWIFT
   • ECS = Scale-out File & Block (uses ViPR & ScaleIO under the covers)
2. Software Defined Storage
   • ScaleIO
   • Very flexible – can run on bare metal, multiple hypervisors
   • Massive Scalability – the larger you scale, the higher the performance goes
   • Got 100M IOPs from 500 nodes
   • 24x better than Ceph for Response time
   • 7x better than Ceph for IOPs
   • Boom! ScaleIO now free to download – customers would say they used Ceph b/c they could try it for free….so let’s take care of that.]
   • VXRack – can start with 1/4 rack and go up to 1,000 nodes.
3. Cloud CI – Project Caspian
• Randy Bias on stage – more Twitter followers than Chad
• Came over with Cloud Scaling acquisition – wasn’t sure how it would fit at first but saw it when talking to EMC execs.
• Open Source is about 3 key things
• Community – bug tracking, getting help from others, etc.
• Control – if issues can access the code, etc.
• Vendor Neutrality – if a certain vendor doesn’t work out, you can change vendors
• So how do we start big with this?
• Looking at ViPR controller to open source 
• SAP Global Head now on stage along with Intel & Verizon execs
• one big concern when went with ViPR were worried about locking. Were pleasantly surprised when heard would open source ViPR controller.
• Working closely with ECS & ScaleIO
• Were you skeptical when heard about open-sourcing ViPR? Closed source to open source is hard…have to focus on end user experience.
• Openstack – now into that…
• Fastest growing open source community in history.
• Sponsors = Cisco, Dell, Canonical, EMC, Dell, VMWare, etc. etc.
• Lot of things on the open stack truck – so many discrete pieces. So how does EMC help people? In what areas?
• 1) Scalability – Build something scalable or something infinitely scalar.e
• 2) Third Platform – focus on third platform/next gen apps
• 3) Hyper-converged – customers want it to be easy/turnkey but also want to scale storage and compute separately.
• 4) Easy – easy operational model, day to day operations.
• That’s a hard list of stuff.
• Project Caspian – Chad Sakac will be running through this on stage in a couple minutes
• Fun opening video – showing good and bad lifestyle choices with an Apple Watch app poking Chad Sakac or Jeremy Burton about their day to day lifestyle choices.
• Showing how can bring racks and nodes online very quickly – then scale out apps.
• 1) Elasticity – helping that with hardware
• 2) Openstack – help the application scale that way as well.
• Design Point = Apache OpenStack but could be other OpenStack distros
• Now into a ScaleIO demo – similar to ones have seen before.
• Showing multiple tenants and workloads
• Can throttle individual workloads in various ways – avoid noisy neighbor issues.
4. NextGen Flash
1. Going into DSSD – face off match between Bill Moore & Chad Sakac
2. 15 node Hadoop cluster with DSSD (Bill) vs. 40 node Hadoop cluster (Chad)
3. Performance test of DRAM vs. SSD vs DSSD – DRAM is 10-15x faster than SSD…DSSD is pretty close to DRAM.
4. Fun walkthrough of a bakeoff and showing some analytics on Chad’s health – he got taken off stage by media.

That’s a wrap!
