Electronic Design Automation (EDA) is the industry that powers the innovations to technology we utilize everyday by making smaller, more powerful microchips for use in our cell phones, smart devices, self-driving cars, laptops and more. EDA requires a massive amount of compute and storage at a rapidly growing scale that most datacenters simply cannot keep up with in a cost effective manner. Usually, by the time a new datacenter is finished, it's already too small. That is why more and more EDA vendors and chip makers are turning to the cloud for their workflows. Microsoft's Global Black Belt for EDA - Andy Chan - and NetApp's EDA expert Michael Johnson, join us to discuss how Azure NetApp Files is an ideal solution for EDA workloads.

June 22: Today on the Conference channel, it's an Interview in Action live from HIMSS 2023 with Marcus Henderson, Senior Platform Solutions Architect at Rubrik and Mike Lonze, Global Black Belt at Microsoft. How does Rubrik's partnership with Microsoft Azure benefit customers who are transitioning from on-premises data centers to the cloud, specifically in terms of data protection and observability? What is Rubrik's approach to cybersecurity and how does it address the increasing frequency of cyber events and ransomware attacks in the healthcare industry? When migrating health systems to the cloud, what are the practical steps involved in moving Epic and other systems from on-premises infrastructure to Microsoft Azure?"The Patient Experience - A Technology Perspective" is a live webinar that explores the intersection of healthcare and technology, focusing on enhancing the patient experience.

Today, we have Dean Bethke on the show. Dean is a Director of Sales and Business Development for Azure IoT in the West, US. As part of an elite team that serves to help businesses with specific capabilities, the Global Black Belt team. Internally he's considered a hyper specialist in the area of all things connected. Dean has been with Microsoft for a little over 20 years, celebrating his 20th anniversary just this last December.This episode is the 4th and FINAL segment of a special series focusing on Industry 4.0, which has concentrated around the capabilities, technologies, and realities of today's digital era of AI and Cloud computing, and most importantly, the collaborations with the worker, and how this is impacting all types of industries from automotive all the way to dairy production and cattle herding - which you'll hear more about today.Some big items we discuss:-the infamous 3 letter word, IOT, and how this ambiguous technology has evolved - Dean simply perceives this genre of tech today as "making dumb things smart, and smart things smarter"-the hidden challenges in connecting devices and pulling insights off of them and the importance of data , and why any IoT effort must be anchored into a well thought out data strategy-importance of stories in the world of technology, and why it helps people explore their own journey and the challenges to innovation and change management-the emerging divisions and collaborations between IT (information technology), and OT (operational technology), and why the current state of technology mandates that these two entities must work together-ideas about privacy and security in the realm of all things connected, from ambient sensors to cameras, and how these can be easily misusedThank you for listening!How to contact dean:Email: Deanb@microsoft.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deanbethke/Additional resources mentioned:https://www.networkworld.com/article/3322517/a-critical-look-at-gartners-top-10-iot-trends.htmlhttps://news.microsoft.com/features/connected-cows-help-farms-keep-up-with-the-herd/Ginni Rometty keynote: CES 2016https://www.networkworld.com/article/3322517/acritical-look-at-gartners-top-10-iot-trends.htmlhttps://www.gizbot.com/news/number-connected-things-use-will-go-up-25-billion-2021-055276.htmlhttps://go.forrester.com/blogs/predictions-2019-iot-devices/https://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=prUS43722418Learn more at www.thedatabinge.comConnect with Derek on LinkedIn | Instagram | Twitter

In this episode, Global Black Belt and Technical Architect in Big Data and Advanced Analytics Team at Microsoft, Alex Zeltov, is our guest and he explains the in's and out's of MLOps though various tools like mlflow and kubeflow In this second part, we go into more depth on the practical consequences of implementing MLOps and the various tools that are available. We also go on a bit of a tangent discussing why traditional enterprises are still having a hard time to look at machine learning models as something that requires and benefits from things like model management, version control and periodic updating of models. For more from Alex on MLOps and mlflow, check out his presentation at the Washington DC DataWorks Summit a couple, of weeks ago. The slides are now available on SlideShare and the video is available on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ns82mJjJgto MLOps Just like DataOps follows on to DevOps, one may say that MLOps continues after DataOps. While there is a wikipedia page on the subject, there is not that much "prior art" available just yet. The main advantages that MLOps can deliver, according to Alex, are a much improved move to production of trained algorithmes, even allowing for CI/CD, and a more structured approach to training models where multiple data scientists can work together to achieve better results. mlflow One of the main tools emerging at the moment is the DataBricks backed mlflow project. Though not an Apache project, it has been open sourced under the Apache License now and shows much promise. In the episode, Alex explains how mlflow integrates with your data science notebooks to allow for reliable  model management with minimal disruption. Kubeflow (Image taken from https://medium.com/@amina.alsherif/how-to-get-started-with-kubeflow-187792f3e99) The second contender to reach for the MLOps crown is Kubeflow. Even though less mature than mlflow, it is backed  by the very popular Kubernetes framework and that brings a large community together working on this project.     Please use the Contact Form on this blog or our twitter feed to send us your questions, or to suggest future episode topics you would like us to cover.

Mais um DDT Séries no ar. Agora pra falar sobre uma gigante do mercado de tecnologia, a Microsoft. Nosso convidado, Marcio Decat, é Global Black Belt e vai contar pra gente um pouco sobre a empresa, seu posicionamento de mercado, soluções, cultura, Satya Nadella e muito mais.

AzureABILITY host Louis Berman discusses ExpressRoute, networking and hybridity with Microsoft's Bryan Woodworth—a Global Black Belt who can toss off words like "hybridity" with louche confidence.  Along the way Brian and Louis also explore such pithy topics as the effect of mullets on the college dating scene.  ----more---- Bryan was born in Charlotte but raised in Boone, NC, went to grad school for music at UT Austin, and fell in love with networking while moonlighting as a university IT guy. At the time he was teaching History of Rock and playing in a number of rock bands. Bryan followed his wife to Seattle and continued his interest in networking at F5 Networks, stepping through several different roles there, ultimately joining Microsoft in early 2015 as their DC load balancing architect, and crossing over to his GBB role in late 2016. Azure has been his happy home for almost three years, and he swears he has no desire to ever look back. To learn more more about ExpressRoute and/or Bryan, check out the following links [Editors Note: the first three links are a bit dry so you may want to start with a slightly out-of-date yet super-helpful resource: https://marckean.com/2018/09/03/azure-expressroute-demystified/ for a start.] https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/expressroute/expressroute-faqs https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/expressroute/expressroute-locations https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/expressroute/expressroute-prerequisites https://www.linkedin.com/in/bryan-woodworth-4a9aa39/ If you have kids, know kids, want to help kids--maybe even like kids!-- then be sure to check out http://makecode.com.  To quote MakeCode Program Manager Jaquelline Russell: "With MakeCode, students can build a cardboard air guitar, a magic wand, a Milk Carton Robot, or play with MakeCode Arcade—our retro 80’s game development platform—even make it rain chickens in Minecraft."   One more (more!) thing.
