The Source Episode #7: Video Surveillance Data Lake for Public Safety.  The growing need of instant access to relevant information impacts every industry, maybe none more important than Public Safety.  From body-worn cameras, dashboard cameras, surveillance videos, cell phone videos, social networking, etc…  Public Safety officials are facing a mountain of information from various siloed sources.  Ken Mills, Video Surveillance Strategy Lead for EMC joins me this week along with Terry Gainer, former law enforcement officer with over 30 years’ experience.  Join us as Terry provides insight into the real challenges faced by law enforcement today and how the EMC Federation is delivering complete solutions to address these real time data analytic needs.  Be sure to subscribe to The Source Podcast on iTunes and Google Play and visit the official blog at The Source Blog

The Source Episode #6: Flash.  If you know me, you know that I’ve spent a lot of time in the middle of EMCs Flash initiatives, as documented at www.insideflash.com. It’s only natural for me to have Dan Cobb, VP of Flash and Non-Volatile Strategy on The Source.  XtremIO is revolutionizing the way EMC customers manage and deploy application infrastructure – but XtremIO is more about software than Flash.  Flash is a storage media used by every EMC Product team. Did you know EMC has been leveraging Flash in the form of SSD for over a decade?  Dan shares some insight into how we got here, and what the future holds.  Be sure to subscribe to The Source Podcast on iTunes and Google Play.

The Source Episode #4: Cloud?  The buzz word has been used in the IT industry for years, but what is it?  How does it help our customers?  Cloud is really an IT consumption model, an alternate way to deploy enterprise applications.   I sat down with Dan Mitchell and asked the question, what is a cloud?
