As we head into VMware Explore US 2023, we are forced to consider the company’s strategy once again. Wouldn’t it be better if VMware focused on the hypervisor and networking rather than continually exploring new products and markets? That’s the question posed by Stephen Foskett to Allyson Klein, Andy Banta, and Matt Tyrer in this episode of the On-Premise IT podcast. Focus isn’t a bad strategy, especially given the slow pace of development for cloud-native applications in the enterprise. And VMware’s involvement in edge computing is an enticing new market for their core technologies. But not everyone is convinced that this is the right move!
In this episode of the On-Premise IT podcast, Stephen Foskett poses the question of focus and strategy for VMware. Allyson Klein, Andy Banta, and Matt Tyrer acknowledged the significance of VMware in the enterprise and the value of their core products, with Banta pointing out the value of moving a running Virtual Machine (VM) from one place to another, memory over-provisioning, and its capability in effectively utilizing multi-core processors. The discussion emphasizes VMware’s relevance for enterprises preferring to run their applications in a modern data center.
However, the panel expressed skepticism about VMware’s decision to diversify its focus. VMware initially gained traction by encouraging collaboration among networking, storage, and processor vendors, providing an integral platform that unified these varied technologies. But its decision to compete with these firms by branching out beyond its core competencies has raised concerns among panelists.
The panelists’ apprehension was also influenced by emerging technology trends, particularly the rise of edge development and container use. The panelists saw VMware as playing a potentially critical role in edge environments, given its established ties with enterprise IT. They anticipated VMware’s strategies for hypervisor control in multi-cloud to multi-edge settings responding to interoperability challenges.
The upcoming VMware Explore event in Las Vegas is highly anticipated by the panelists, as they look forward to insights about the company’s vision and imminent innovations. Especially significant is the fact that this event comes as the company nears takeover by Broadcom. VMware’s steps in leveraging enterprise data center applications beyond data center boundaries, suggesting its involvement in edge compute and storage, will be closely watched.

×Passwords have served their use in the enterprise. We need to start moving away from simple passwords as an authentication mechanism. In this episode of the Tech Field Day podcast, Tom Hollingsworth is joined by Tony Efantis, Karen Lopez, and Fernando Montenegro as they discuss the premise that we are long past passwords, exploring the complexities and frustrations of relying on them for myriad online accounts. The conversation highlights the concept of economic externalities, where developers easily implement simple passwords, but the burden of managing hundreds of unique credentials falls on the individual user. While passwords were initially designed for basic authentication, there has been a shift towards alternative mechanisms like one-time codes sent to email or passkeys because of user laziness and the security risks associated with password reuse and compromised credentials. Ultimately, what is needed a balanced, risk-based authentication approach is necessary, tailoring security levels to the sensitivity of the data being protected, and leveraging technologies like biometrics and background risk assessments to create a more convenient and secure user experience, even as attackers continue to evolve their methods.

Learn More from the AI Infrastructure Field Day Presentations AI demands specialized data center designs due to its unique hardware utilization and networking needs, which require a new type of infrastructure. This Tech Field Day Podcast episode features Denise Donohue, Karen Lopez, Lino Telera, and Alastair Cooke. Network design has been a consistent part of the AI infrastructure discussions at Tech Field Day events. The need for a dedicated network to interconnect GPUs differentiates AI training and fine-tuning networks from general-purpose computing. The vast power demand for high-density GPU servers highlights a further need for different data centers with liquid cooling and massive power distribution. Model training is only one part of the AI pipeline; business value is delivered by AI inference with a different set of needs and a closer eye on financial management. Inference will likely require servers with GPUs and high-speed local storage, but not the same networking density as training and fine-tuning. Inference will also need servers adjacent to existing general-purpose infrastructure running existing business applications. Some businesses may be able to fit their AI applications into their existing data centers, but many will need to build or rent new infrastructure.

Learn More about Cloud Field Day 23 Keeping every application and every scrap of data on the public cloud becomes very expensive; we need to improve our cloud economics. This episode of the Tech Field Day podcast features Vriti Magee, Mitch Lewis, and Alastair Cooke. The belief that data is the new oil has led many companies to retain every piece of data they generate, often in object storage on public cloud platforms. The continuous growth of this data leads to a growing bill from the cloud provider, often with no clear plan in place for recouping the value of the money spent. Generative AI requires training data, which is another reason to retain everything; again, there needs to be value returned to the business. New designs for cloud applications must include data management and managed retention as key criteria. Sustainable, honest designs that enable business change are vital for delivering value back to the business.

Learn More about Catchpoint at Cloud Field Day Your Internet Application is full of unknowns, which will affect its performance and availability for your customers. This episode of the Tech Field Day Podcast features Catchpoint CEO and co-founder Mehdi Daoudi, Eric Wright, Jon Myer, and Alastair Cooke. Internet applications are seldom self-contained, relying on other web services for specialized functions and needing responses from the services before a final response to a user. Functions such as DDoS protection, tracking, embedded advertising, and other valuable services enable faster application feature development, but at what cost? Any delayed response from these services can slow down your application for your users, leading to dissatisfaction, even when your servers perform beautifully. Remember that the services you choose to use may, in turn, use other external services. Catchpoint champions user-centric monitoring and Internet Performance Monitoring (IPM) to complement existing APM tools. Visibility of issues outside your data center is vital to identifying issues before they become helpdesk tickets or application outages.

Learn More about Infoblox at Cloud Field Day Managing hybrid-cloud networks is complex due to differing architectures and naming between on-premises and the multiple public cloud platforms. This Tech Field Day Podcast episode features Glenn Sullivan, Senior Director of Product Management at Infoblox, Eric Wright, and Alastair Cooke. Each public cloud has a unique management console and network management paradigm; none provides deep integration with each other or with on-premises networking. It is left to individual customers to assemble a jigsaw of pieces into a coherent whole. Customers may not plan to use multiple public clouds, but through different project requirements or mergers and acquisitions, most large organizations find themselves in a hybrid multi-cloud environment. Combining fast-changing public cloud applications with on-premises applications further complicates network management, requiring an automation-based approach. Infoblox UDDI (Universal DNS, DHCP, and IPAM) provides a consistent, automatable interface to manage and operate basic network infrastructure across all enterprise locations.

This Tech Field Day Podcast episode features Max Mortillaro, Guy Currier, Jay Cuthrell, and Alastair Cooke. AI has frequently been in the public news, many organizations are busy building AI infrastructure and pipelines, and vendors have tagged their applications with AI to ride the hype. Yet, business value is usually delivered in applications that serve customers rather than generating headlines. The first steps towards AI being a functional but boring part of production applications have emerged, with interoperability mechanisms like MCP and A2A are vital steps towards pervasive AI. Options for Small Language Models (SLM) are opening up more cost-effective use of generative AI, while predictive AI continues to be the standard boring production AI. Data and output safety are other areas for development; avoiding GenAI hallucinations, model poisoning, and data leakage is vital for AI to become boring. Eventually, Generative AI will be as invisible and valuable in mainstream business applications, leading to a return on all the current investments.

This episode of the Tech Field Day Podcast , presented by Broadcom , features Tasha Drew , Gina Rosenthal , Jay Cuthrell , and Alastair Cooke . The public cloud is a great place to innovate and test new technologies or for bursty workloads where on-demand access to near-limitless resources is essential. Predictable and steady-state production workloads are often more cost-effective on-premises, and AI applications are no different. Your existing on-premises compute platform, based on VMware Cloud Foundation, is a great place to run production AI applications with more direct cost control while keeping your data on-premises. Running your AI applications on your existing platform capitalizes on your investment in software, hardware, and your staff, who won’t need to learn a new paradigm.

Event Page: https://techfieldday.com/event/cfd22/ Hybrid-multi-cloud applications have become part of the enterprise IT landscape, but they give me a headache. This episode of the Tech Field Day Podcast features Barton George, Mike Graff, Mitch Lewis, and Alastair Cooke discussing the dream of a single cloud provider being home to every application in the enterprise has long been morphed. The goal is to optimize applications by using both cloud and on-premises resources, but integrating different platforms is challenging. Services like AWS and Azure have distinct configurations, making a unified management console difficult to achieve. Some companies simplify by using a single cloud, but mergers or unique business needs often disrupt this approach. While hybrid multi-cloud setups improve efficiency, they also bring ongoing IT challenges.

In this episode of the Tech Field Day Podcast, recorded before Cloud Field Day, features Jon Myer, Michael Levan, Larry Smith, and Alastair Cooke. Deploying applications across multiple clouds requires the network be the common connector to integrate applications across those clouds. Everything is an API, deploying networks on the cloud is software defined but every cloud has its own API and many on-premises networks have their own APIs. Observability across a multi-cloud application is far more complex than when everything was on-premises in our own data center, there are so many new places where issues might arise. The pace of change in modern applications makes analyzing and troubleshooting applications challenging too, when networks are built using a CI/CD pipeline the network configuration can change every day, with new software version deployment. Observability is vital; metrics, logs, and traces need to be fed into a single location where insights can be gained, without the insight there is no reason to collect the data.

This episode of the Tech Field Day podcast, recorded in advance of AI Field Day, features Dr. Bob Sutor, Mitch Ashley, and Jim Czuprynski discussing the balkanization of AI globally. We have previously talked about data sovereignty, but AI is a technology seen to have international importance. From raw materials to chipmaking to systems design to model training, every nation wants to control AI. The United States recently introduced the AI Diffusion Framework to control not just access to chips but also sovereignty of the AI models themselves. We are really just starting to develop AI systems with large language models and yet companies and researchers are already recognizing that we need to move beyond words to spatial, temporal, and true understanding of the world. We are on the cusp of the next space race as regions and nations compete to be the center of the AI universe.

This episode of the Tech Field Day Podcast looks at some of the issues revolving around AI and App Dev with Alastair Cooke, Guy Currier, Jack Poller, and Stephen Foskett. The ultimate objective of a software development team is to deliver an application that fulfills a business need and helps the organization be more successful. An AI that can recommend basic code snippets doesn’t move that needle far. More sophistication is needed to get value from AI in the development process. The objective should be to have AI handle the repetitive tasks and allow humans to focus on innovative tasks where generative AI is less capable. AI agents must handle building tests and reviewing code for security and correctness to enable developers to concentrate on building better applications that help organizations.

Event Page: https://techfieldday.com/event/efd3/ Edge computing is one of the areas where we see startup vendors offering innovative solutions, enabling applications to operate where the business operates rather than where the IT team sit. This episode of the Tech Field Day podcast focuses on the melting pot of edge computing and features Guy Currier, John Osmon, Ivan McPhee, and host Alastair Cooke, all of whom attended Edge Field Day in September. To accommodate the unique nature of the diverse and unusual locations where businesses operate, many different technologies are brought together to form the melting pot of edge computing. Containers and AI applications are coming from the massive public cloud data centres to a range of embedded computers on factory floors, industrial sites, and farm equipment. ARM CPUs, sensors, and low-power hardware accelerators are coming from mobile phones to power applications in new locations. Enterprise organizations must still control and manage data and applications across these locations and platforms. Security must be built into the edge from the beginning; edge computing often happens in an unsecured location and often with no human oversight. This melting pot of technology and innovation makes edge computing an innovative part of IT.

Event Page: https://techfieldday.com/event/cfd21/ Public Cloud computing is a large part of enterprise IT alongside on-premises computing. Many organizations that had a cloud-first approach and are now gaining value from on-premises private clouds and seeing their changing business needs leading to changing cloud use. This episode of the Tech Field Day podcast delves into the complexity of multiple cloud providers and features Maciej Lelusz, Jack Poller, Justin Warren, and host Alastair Cooke, all attendees at Cloud Field Day. The awareness of changing business needs is causing some re-thinking of how businesses use cloud platforms, possibly moving away from using cloud vendor specific services to bare VMs. VMs are far simpler to move from one cloud to another, or between public cloud and private cloud platforms. Over time, the market will speak and if there are too many cloud providers, we will see mergers, acquisitions or failures of smaller specialized cloud providers. In the meantime, choosing where to put which application for the best outcome can be a challenge for businesses.

This episode of the Tech Field Day podcast focuses on AI data infrastructure and features Camberley Bates, Andy Banta, David Klee, and host Stephen Foskett, all of whom will be attending our AI Data Infrastructure Field Day this week. We've known for decades that storage solutions must provide the right access method for applications, not just performance, capacity, and reliability. Today's enterprise storage solutions have specialized data services and interfaces to enable AI workloads, even as capacity has been driven beyond what we've seen in the past. Power and cooling is another critical element, since AI systems are optimized to make the most of expensive GPUs and accelerators. AI also requires extensive preparation and organization of data as well as traceability and records of metadata for compliance and reproducibility. Another question is interfaces, with modern storage turning to object stores or even vector database interfaces rather than traditional block and file. AI is driving a profound transformation of storage and data.

This episode of the Tech Field Day podcast, recorded ahead of AI Field Day, features Justin Warren, Alastair Cooke, Frederic van Haren, and Stephen Foskett considering the promises made about AI. Generative AI was so impressive that it escaped from the lab, being pushed into production before it was ready for use. We are still living with the repercussions of this decision on a daily basis, with AI assistants appearing everywhere. Many customers are already frustrated by these systems, leading to a rapid push-back against the universal use of LLM chatbots. One problem the widespread mis-use of AI has solved already is the search for a driver of computer hardware and software sales, though this already seems to be wearing off. But once we take stock of the huge variety of tools being created, it is likely that we will have many useful new technologies to apply.

AI Field Day 5 Event Page: https://techfieldday.com/event/aifd5/ The current hype about building massive generative AI models with massive hardware investment is just one aspect of AI. This episode of the Tech Field Day podcast features Frederic Van Haren, Karen Lopez, Marian Newsome, and host Stephen Foskett taking a different perspective on the larger world of AI. Our last episode suggested that AI as it is currently being hyped is a fad, but the bigger world of AI is absolutely real. Large language models are maturing rapidly and even generative AI is getting better by the month, but we are rapidly seeing the reality of the use cases for this technology. All neural networks use patterns in historical data to infer results, so any AI engine could hallucinate. But traditional AI is much less susceptible to errors than the much-hyped generative AI models that are capturing the headlines today. AI is a tool that augments our knowledge and decision making, but it doesn't replace human intelligence. There is a whole world of AI applications that are productive, responsible, and practical, and these are most certainly not a fad.

This episode of the Tech Field Day podcast brings together Glenn Dekhayser, Alastair Cooke, Allyson Klein, and Stephen Foskett to discuss the real and changing world of AI. Looking at AI infrastructure today, we see massive clusters of GPUs being deployed in the cloud and on-premises to train ever-larger language models, but how much business value do these clusters have long-term? It seems that the true transformation promised by LLM and GenAI will be realized once models are applied across industries with RAG or tuning rather than developing new models. Ultimately AI is a feature of a larger business process or application rather than being a product in itself. We can certainly see that AI-based applications will be transformative, but the vast investment required to build out AI infrastructure to date might never be recouped. Ultimately there is a future for AI, but not the way we have been doing it to date.

Generative AI will revolutionize enterprise IT, but not in the way people expect. This episode of the Tech Field Day podcast includes Stephen Foskett discussing the impact of GenAI with Jack Poller, Calvin Hendryx-Parker, and Josh Atwell at AppDev Field Day. The discussion centered around the potential impact of generative AI on enterprises, debating whether it will significantly transform business operations or merely offer incremental improvements. Generative AI is still in its infancy and may not yet provide revolutionary benefits, but there is great potential for AI in automating tasks and enhancing efficiencies despite challenges in implementation and validation. We must be realistic when it comes to the application of AI in enterprises, and it is important to understand the real capabilities and limitations, and the role of existing vendors in integrating AI functionalities into their products.

Event Page: https://techfieldday.com/event/cfd20/ Software developers used to use the term cloud native to describe applications that are designed for the cloud, but today it seems to be more of a term for containerized applications. This episode of the Tech Field Day podcast, recorded ahead of Cloud Field Day 20, includes Guy Currier, Jack Poller, Ziv Levy, and Stephen Foskett discussing the true meaning of cloud native today. Merely running a monolithic application in containers doesn’t make it cloud native, though it certainly can be beneficial. To be truly cloud native, an application has to be microservices based and scalable, and built to take advantage of modern application platforms and resources. There is some question whether a cloud native application needs to have API access, telemetry and observability, service management, network and storage integration, and security. But ultimately the words used to describe an application are less important than the value and benefits of it. Although it is disappointing that the definition of cloud native has been watered down, the core concepts still have value.

As application development and modernization moves forward, security has never been more important. This episode of the Tech Field Day podcast introduces AppDev Field Day with a discussion of the importance of DevSecOps featuring Paul Nashawaty, Mitch Ashley, Michael Levan, and Stephen Foskett. Application security isn't just about the vulnerabilities in the application itself; the entire software stack must be secure. There are many approaches, from vulnerability scanning to minimization of the attack surface, but the most important thing is to build security into software from the start. There are many parallels between physical infrastructure and software applications, with many of the same security considerations. Various components make up a software bill of materials (SBOM) and any of these can expose a vulnerability or be attacked. Platform engineering is an important connector between infrastructure and developers, and plays a major role in reducing the attack surface. It's all about bringing expertise to the table to build supportable and secure platforms for modern applications.

Modern applications are widely deployed in the cloud, but they're coming at the edge as well. This episode of the Tech Field Day podcast features Alastair Cooke and Paul Nashawaty from The Futurum Group, Erik Nordmark from ZEDEDA, and host Stephen Foskett discussing the intersection of application modernization and edge computing. As enterprises look to deploy more applications at the edge they are leveraging technologies like Kubernetes and containers to enable portability, scalability, resilience, and high availability. In many cases customers are moving existing web applications to the edge to improve performance and security, but not all webscale technologies are appropriate on the limited hardware, environmentals, and connectivity found at the edge. The question is whether to improve the edge compute platform or build resiliency into the application itself. But there are limits to this approach, since edge locations don't have the elasticity of the cloud and many of the features of Kubernetes were not designed for limited resources. It comes down to developer expectations, since they are now accustomed to the experience of modern webscale platforms and expect this environment everywhere. In the future, we expect WASM, LLMs, and more to be used regardless of location.

The concept of identity management has become increasingly complex and challenging due to the purely digital nature of modern identity. This episode of the On-Premise IT podcast, recorded on-premises at ISS in Cleveland, features Bob Kalka of IBM, Leon Adato of Kentik, and Stephen Foskett discussing the various ways identity management tweaks our neuroses. As organizations grapple with this issue, they face the daunting task of merging elements such as identity, passkeys, passwords, and AI in a way that is seamless and less nerve-wracking. Identity Management is Tweaking our Neuroses The relevance of identity and self goes beyond what we normally comprehend in our routine lives. Within virtual spaces, identity management becomes even more important because it is disconnected from our physical experience. From the lens of the cybersecurity team, taking control of identity management presents unique challenges as they neither completely own the problem nor the solution. Legacy systems and constantly shifting tools create further hurdles in the management of identity and access permissions, often making it appear more like security theatre. However, the necessity to ward off unauthorized access necessitates an efficient system of identity management. Many are suggesting that AI can break through these challenges. In particular, AI aids in the detection of identity-related threats by analyzing behavioral patterns. As a result, it helps to deal with the attendant neuroses related to identity management found in many digital users. The concept of identity management is increasingly being viewed as a fabric of relationships rather than a singular goal. The identity fabric acknowledges the realities of a hybrid world where managing identity across multiple identity providers and directories is an essential function. Passwordless authentication, a user-friendly concept leveraging passkeys, has recently emerged as a popular solution. But the process of identity management does not halt with user access. The backend still necessitates managing identities in multiple locations. Responding to this need, the concept of identity orchestration has emerged as a novel approach in managing identity in varied environments. Taking ownership and addressing these challenges proactively is an essential step in effectively managing identity. The complexity of digital identity management underlines the necessity for organizations to accept the reality of these management hurdles. Leveraging advancements such as AI to shed light on the issue in a more comprehensive manner is a critical stride towards finding more effective solutions. Recognizing and understanding the shortcomings of these systems is vital in this journey, just as it is crucial to appreciate the potential of AI in steering breakthroughs in the digital identity management space.

As ransomware continues to pose a significant threat to enterprises, C-level executives must collaborate and communicate with IT. This episode of the On-Premise IT podcast, brought to you by Commvault and recorded live in New York at their Shift event, features Thomas Bryant of Commvault along with Gina Rosenthal, Eric Wright, and Stephen Foskett. The discussion focused on the crucial need to bridge departmental gaps so IT and executive management can work together. The panel also emphasized the need for openness about risks, lessons from past attacks and the role of government mandates. Cybersecurity is a C-Suite Problem Ransomware is increasingly becoming a significant issue demanding the attention of C-level executives. As discussed on the On-Premise IT podcast recorded live at Commvault Shift, tackling cyber risks is not just a technical challenge but also one of leadership and governance. Commvault’s focus on cyber resilience brought to light the crucial role of CEO, CIO, and board involvement in addressing such threats. With government mandates pushing for greater accountability within organizations, the responsibility for cybersecurity now extends far beyond the domain of IT and security teams. A key aspect highlighted throughout the discussion was the importance of collaboration between different departments within an organization such as security, networking, and IT operations. This cross-functional collaboration is seen as a critical factor in addressing cyber threats effectively. To facilitate such collaboration, the democratization of information flow is needed. Breaking down departmental silos and fostering free-flowing communication can aid in the rapid identification, reporting, and addressing of potential threats. The shifting paradigm within cybersecurity, from solely focusing on prevention to minimizing damage in case of an attack, also came under discussion. The panel recognized that with the evolution and complexity of cyber threats, a strategy focusing only on prevention may be inadequate in protecting assets. This understanding calls for the regular testing and practicing of incident response plans, critical for building “muscle memory” and reducing potential downtime and lost revenue from cyber attacks. In discussing the SolarWinds case, where the CISO faced criminal prosecution after a cyberattack, the podcast panel underscored the importance of transparency and honesty in cybersecurity. This precedent sets an example for other organizations, emphasizing that surviving an attack should not be a source of shame, but instead, should be an opportunity to learn and enhance security measures. The critical role of government regulations, resulting fines, and the potential incentivization of good cybersecurity practices through monetary means were also discussed as drivers of better cybersecurity practices. Finally, the panel discussed Commvault’s new platform, marrying expert knowledge with proactive measures such as ransomware assessments to aid organizations in enhancing their cybersecurity practices. This approach signifies the industry’s movement away from its “wizards” culture, acknowledging vulnerabilities, and working towards admitting and addressing challenges. In essence, the cybersecurity landscape is one of shared responsibility, transparency, proactive measures, government backing, and technological advancements.

As we’ve discussed all season on Utilizing Edge, innovation is coming from all directions, including hardware, software, and applications. This special crossover episode of the On-Premise IT and Utilizing Tech podcasts features Edge Field Day delegates Brian Knudtson, Ned Bellavance, and Jody Lemoine discussing their perspectives about edge innovation with Stephen Foskett. The primary drivers at the edge are integration, efficiency, and connectivity, as well as the unique needs of the applications there. Starting with hardware, customers are headed in two directions, with more enterprise availability features deployed in some locations and less-capable hardware in others, both in terms of compute and networking. At the software level, most edge infrastructure is hyper-converged, meaning that multiple layers of the stack are integrated in software and managed as one. Although intended as an application platform, Kubernetes is being deployed as a packaging abstraction and distribution solution at the edge.

Although modern-day storage products let us do more with less, and is more capable than ever before, they are also way more complex, and often unintelligible to the masses. Recorded at the recent Storage Field Day event, in this On-Premise IT podcast, Stephen Foskett asks the attending luminaries from the storage industry to define storage in simple terms. With innovation piling high, storage, in the recent years, has slipped away from the grasps of IT professionals, causing add-on stress and pressure. Storage, as a disciple, has grown so vast, that it is only possible to either be a generalist and acquire a broad understanding, or a specialist with narrow focus in one thing. Listen to the discussion to learn how storage professionals working at the heart of IT view and interpret storage.

The storage industry is increasingly focused on memory rather than traditional storage, and this reflects an architectural shift in the compute stack. This episode of On-Premise IT focuses on the new storage stack, which now includes memory, with Andy Banta, Jim Jones, Vuong Pham, and Stephen Foskett, all of whom are attending Storage Field Day 26 and SNIA’s Storage Developer Conference. The difference between memory and storage was historically based on the technology at hand, but these lines are blurring. The latest systems can address storage and memory in very similar ways, and can apply advanced data management techniques to memory as well as storage. NVMe, NAND flash, CXL, and persistent memory technologies are blurring the lines, and the latest developments in software, as highlighted at SNIA’s SDC, bring new capabilities. As memory becomes more like storage, what was once primary storage has a new job to perform further down in the hierarchy focused on data management, ransomware, and data protection. Memory is Edging Out Primary Storage As reflected in the Storage Field Day presentations and discussions, as well as topics at this year’s SNIA Storage Developer Conference, primary storage is increasingly adopting the traits of secondary storage. This is caused by advancements in memory technology which step into the shoes of primary storage, and a focus on secondary services from primary vendors. Prior to Storage Field Day, Andy Banta, Jim Jones, Vuong Pham, and Stephen Foskett discussed this new storage methodology. The discussion centered around persistent memory and CXL, memory systems, memory layering, and the emerging difficulties with memory tiering. We all agreed that primary storage looks more and more like secondary, while memory near the CPU is gaining traction as “primary memory!” Of course memory isn’t storage, so we have to consider data persistence. Despite the need for speedier data access, we will also always need persistence of stored data, and this must be more than traditional archiving. We must also consider cache coherence, since these systems will have multiple cache levels beyond L1, L2, and L3. CXL (Compute Express Link) provides a path forward, since it will deliver system expansion and cache coherence, even though apprehensions about coherency and processor contention (components of the forthcoming CXL 3.0) have surfaced. Despite these concerns, the protocol’s widespread adoption demonstrates its momentum and potential for radical IT infrastructure transformation. The radical rearrangement of memory and storage, the mounting significance of tiered memory, and the incorporation of breakthrough tools like CXL signal a paradigm shift in understanding primary and secondary storage. Shaping the future of the IT stack, they are ushering in a new era that both challenges and excites the industry.

As enterprises try to deploy infrastructure to support AI applications they generally discover that the demands of this application can disrupt their architecture plans. This episode of On-Premise IT, sponsored by Pure Storage, discusses the disruptive impact of AI on the enterprise with Justin Emerson, Allyson Klein, Keith Townsend, and Stephen Foskett. Heavy duty AI processing requires specialized hardware that more resembles High-Performance Computing (HPC) than conventional enterprise IT architecture. But as more enterprise applications leverage accelerators like GPUs and DPUs, and become more disaggregated, AI starts to make more sense. Power is one key consideration, since companies are more aware of sustainability and are impacted by limited power availability in the datacenter, and efficient external storage can be a real benefit here. This is still general-purpose infrastructure but it increasingly incorporates accelerators to improve power efficiency. One issue for general purpose infrastructure is the concern over security, and enterprise AI applications will certainly benefit from broad access to a variety of enterprise data. Enterprise use of AI will require a new data infrastructure that supports the demands of AI applications but also enables data sharing and integration with AI applications.

Snapshots are still not backups but the nature of data storage means care must be taken to determine data retention requirements. In this episode of the On-Premise IT Podcast, Brian Knudtson, Matt Tyrer, and Richard Kenyan discuss the nature of data protection and recovery point objectives. The rapid pace of cloud storage growth as well as the shift toward using microservices and serverless computing have added additional challenges to the definition of data that needs to be backed up. In addition, the terminology changes with major companies in the space have created confusion in features.
