Google’s self-driving car is a prime example of the multiple capabilities that are emerging in today’s move toward Cloud computing. Like the body, new technology will be taking input from receptors, as well as be controlled by a centralized system – that means tomorrow’s systems have to be even more advanced, operate in real time and process more data.
Lew Tucker, VP and CTO of Cloud Computing at Cisco Systems, Inc., joined John Furrier and Jeff Frick, cohosts of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, during OpenStack Silicon Valley 2015 to talk about the direction of Cloud technology and how advances will better serve business.
Where is the OpenStack capability heading? Tucker shines light on what is possible. “I think in terms of OpenStack we are going to see an evolution whereby OpenStack will start to reach out beyond the data side, and it will reach out so that you are having management capabilities, orchestration services … the full end to end,” he said.
While the technology is being developed there are also challenges to it hitting mainstream. According to Tucker, “I think the biggest challenge will be us as humans accepting the automation because there is a lot of information and it could be much, much safer than having humans drive cars. But then we’d feel very nervous about handing that over to a computer system, fully automated,” he said.
