Bridging the gap between the data center, the private cloud and the hybrid cloud | #oow15
Lee Caswell, VP of product, solution and services marketing for NetApp, Inc., talked with Stu Miniman and Brian Gracely, cohosts of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, during the Oracle OpenWorld 2015 about everything from shifting business structures to how a shift in perspective around cloud computing could change everything.
Split and converge
The business of tech is shifting. With major players splitting into focused components and others joining forces, there is a lot of change happening. For NetApp, changes and partnerships have made its revenue stream shift from single product based to transitional products that will take people from flash to disk to cloud.
“You have a lot of cloud companies talking about cloud but not integrating all the way back … and a lot of flash companies that never mention cloud,” Caswell said. “Who’s bringing all of that together right now?”
Caswell explained how his company is bridging the gap between the data center, the virtual private cloud and the hybrid cloud.
The public and the hybrid cloud
Which is the starting point and which is the ending point? Caswell made an argument that the public cloud is the starting point and the hybrid cloud is the end point – going against the grain of most cloud companies.
