  • #67 – Hitachi Vantara One Year On with John Magee
    This week, Chris is in San Diego attending Hitachi NEXT 2018, the annual user conference for Hitachi Vantara customers.  Hitachi Vantara was formed in 2017 from the merger of Hitachi Data Systems, Hitachi Insight Group and Pentaho.  Last year we spoke to Greg Knieriemen about the new company and the reasons behind the decision to move on from the HDS brand.  One year on from the launch of Vantara, Chris talks with John Magee, VP, Product & Solutions Marketing at Hitachi Vantara about how the transition is going.
    This podcast is one of a number recorded at the event and was recorded outside due to the level of background noise in the conference halls.  As a result, there is a little wind noise on the recording, although thankfully, no helicopters (the event hotel is close to the San Diego naval base).

  • #66 – Amazon RDS – Coming to a vSphere Cluster Near You
    Amazon Web Services (AWS) and VMware recently announced that RDS, the Relational Database Service was in tech preview as an on-premises deployment on vSphere.  Running a service outside of Amazon’s data centre represents a big change for the company.  The only non-core offering to date has been Snowball, the edge data appliance.  In this week’s recording, Martin and Chris discuss the implications of running a service on-premises, what’s in it for the customer, for VMware and for AWS.
    The database market is a lucrative business.  It’s reasonable to expect that end users will look to optimise their costs and to avoid those nasty annual audits of usage.  If businesses can get their heads around the idea of a service for which they have had to make the capital expenditure investment, then perhaps there’s an opportunity for significant savings.
    But how exactly will it work?  Will AWS have access to your vSphere clusters?  Will they remotely manage maintenance, upgrades and recovery?

  • #65 – Challenges in Managing Unstructured Data with Shirish Phatak
    In this week’s podcast we focus on the issues of managing unstructured data in a distributed world.  Chris and Martin are joined by Shirish Phatak, CEO at Talon Storage.
    It’s interesting that “unstructured” proves to have a moveable definition, depending on what you want to include.  While we traditionally think of files and objects as unstructured, these so-called binary pieces of content typically do have structure within them.  In contrast, databases can be made up of unstructured data – e.g. files, that together take a structured form.
    Getting past the definition, we find that data growth is certainly dependent on the industry, with a minimum 20% annually, rising to as much as 100%.  As Martin points out, in his company, the assumption is that 80% of storage will be full within 6 months of deployment.
    With distributed data, we see processing at the edge and data management at the core.  In practical terms though, this can also mean moving data into the core for more analytics or match processing.  The conversation highlights how data consistency or concurrency is so important in a distributed environment.  It’s easy for users to simply copy and rename a file, throwing data management processes into confusion.
    Finally, the conversation moves to the public cloud, which at present seems to be acting simply as a large, easy to use repository.

  • #64 – Success & Failure in Storage Startup Land
    This week’s conversation follows up on Chris’ recent visit to Flash Memory Summit in the US.  Chris and Martin discuss the storage startup landscape and the range of companies appearing at the event.
    What makes a company successful?  Is IPO or acquisition the right route?  The discussion starts with a simple, yet tricky question – why does storage continue to be such a diverse market place, with so many solutions to problems?  We see a storage “pendulum” effect, with vendors moving between hardware and software.  At the moment, there seems to be more focus on hardware solutions.
    The conversation moves to the wider industry, talking about the whole process of acquisition.  Who is left to acquire these days, when the big incumbents already have most of their storage portfolio in place?  Could hyperscalers, with their deep pockets, be good targets for an acquiree?
    Looking across the market we see companies that have failed to make it.  Then there are the phoenixes, coming back from the dead.  There are the zombies who continue to exist without moving the market or reaching acquisition.  Of course there are also the darlings who get acquired and attract all the money.
    What makes success?  Having a product that solves a real world problem, but at the same time is marketed well.  Apparently having a good colour scheme also helps!

  • #63 – Datrium CloudShift
    In this episode, Chris and Martin catch up with the Datrium team to discuss CloudShift, Datrium’s new SaaS DR offering.  CloudShift provides the capability to use backups that have been written to Cloud DVX and fire up a VMware Cloud on AWS instance, recovering the backups into the vSphere cluster.  CloudShift can also be used to do DR between primary and secondary DVX environments.
    As the conversation evolves, Chris and Martin investigate exactly how an on-premises environment is replicated to the cloud.  CloudShift requires initial configuration and then tracks virtual machines for compliance against the expected configuration.  What’s interesting is using VMC (VMware Cloud on AWS) as a DR target.  Although Datrium’s experience is that an environment can be build in around an hour, there’s no specific SLA.  This of course, could have an issue for RTO (recovery time objective).

    As the conversation evolves, Chris and Martin investigate exactly how an on-premises environment is replicated to the cloud.  CloudShift requires initial configuration and then tracks virtual machines for compliance against the expected configuration.  What’s interesting is using VMC (VMware Cloud on AWS) as a DR target.  Although Datrium’s experience is that an environment can be build in around an hour, there’s no specific SLA.  This of course, could have an issue for RTO (recovery time objective).
    Sazzala mentions their VMworld 2018 presentations.  Here they are:
