EMC’s David Goulden talks of the challenges fusing cloud-native apps with traditional infrastructure | #emcworld
The advantages of building applications in the cloud are being touted all over the industry. With the ease of purchasing cloud service and DevOps tools, many now see it as the only way to go. But before you go cloud crazy, you need may need to do a survey of your infrastructure.
“Traditional apps and cloud-native apps are going to live on different infrastructures,” said David Goulden, CEO of EMC Information Infrastructure. He told John Furrier (@furrier) and Dave Vellante (@dvellante), cohosts of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, that the differences between cloud-native and traditional apps are so significant that “if you’re born in cloud native, you’re going to really struggle to retrofit that into the traditional app world.”
Cloud native-traditional challenges
Goulden said that since cloud-native apps are often held in containers and have built-in resiliency, and scale-out ability, what they require from infrastructure is quite basic compared to what traditional apps require. “These cloud-native apps have 100 times or 1,000 times more data per user than your traditional apps, so that’s why you have to have massive scale-out capacity underneath that performance tier,” he said.
“You want to try and obviously cross-pollinate the data between them and have some common management schemas,” he said of cloud-native and traditional apps sharing the same space. He added that Dell-EMC will be working heavily on solving these cloud native-traditional challenges for their customers.
