This episode is sponsored by P0 Security. Visit p0.dev/idac to learn why P0 is the easiest and fastest way to implement just-in-time, short-lived, and auditable access to your entire infrastructure stack, like servers, databases, Kubernetes clusters, cloud consoles, and cloud services, for users as well as non-human identities.In this sponsor spotlight episode, Jim and Jeff are joined by Shashwat Sehgal, CEO and founder of P0 Security, to discuss the evolving challenges of privileged access management in modern, cloud-native environments. Shashwat explains how traditional PAM solutions often create friction for developers, leading to over-provisioning and security risks, and how P0 is tackling this problem with a developer-first, just in time (JIT) access model. The conversation covers the core problems with developer productivity, how P0's use of technologies like eBPF provides deep visibility and control without agents, the "Priority Zero" philosophy, and how a JIT approach simplifies audits and compliance. They also discuss the competitive landscape and what sets P0 Security apart from traditional and open-source solutions.Learn more about P0: https://www.p0.dev/idacConnect with Shashwat: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shashwatsehgal/Chapter Timestamps:00:00 - Podcast Intro00:29 - Sponsor Introduction: P0 Security01:38 - What is the problem P0 Security is trying to solve?03:52 - Defining "Just-in-Time" (JIT) Access06:21 - The challenge with traditional PAM for developers08:23 - How P0 provides access without agents using eBPF12:15 - What does the user experience look like?15:58 - Supporting various infrastructure and access protocols19:15 - How does P0 handle session recording and auditing?22:20 - Is this a replacement for Privileged Access Management (PAM)?26:40 - The story behind the name P0 Security29:20 - Who is the ideal customer for P0?33:15 - Handling break-glass scenarios36:04 - Discussing the competitive landscape42:30 - How is P0 deployed?

Cloud ist nicht gleich Cloud. Was für die einen nach himmlischer IT klingt, sorgt bei anderen für semantisches Chaos. In dieser Folge klären Bernhard und Christian, was wirklich hinter Begriffen wie Public-, Private- und Hybrid Cloud steckt, wie moderne IT-Architekturen davon profitieren und warum Cloud Computing im Gesundheitswesen immer mehr an Bedeutung gewinnt, insbesondere bei Digitalisierungsvorhaben in Kliniken und Praxen. Dazu gibt's Praxistipps für Ausschreibungen, ein paar Fun Facts und wie immer: klare Worte. Und auch wie immer, (zu?) viele Wortwitze und Anspielungen auf schlechte Lieder.

High Performance Computing is here for the masses!Enterprises are bleeding budget in the public cloud, shackled to legacy on-prem systems, and wrestling with HPC workflows so complex they require armies of admins just to keep them running. In this episode, I talk to Matthew Shaxted, Founder & CEO of Parallel Works, about how their ACTIVATE platform is breaking that lock-in, unifying HPC, AI, and hybrid cloud computing into one seamless control plane.Think democratized supercomputing — where scientists, researchers, engineers, and AI teams get instant, intuitive access to powerful compute resources without becoming system admins. ACTIVATE abstracts away the messy plumbing of schedulers, chipsets, and hybrid environments, enabling workloads to run seamlessly across on-prem, multi-cloud, and GPU clusters. From high-security IL5/CUI/ITAR deployments to real-time cost control and AI-driven physics model replacement, Parallel Works is lowering the complexity barrier and unlocking HPC for the AI era.Parallel Works was founded in 2014 in Chicago, IllinoisTechnology & Topics Mentioned:HPC, AI Orchestration, Hybrid Cloud, OpenStack, Kubernetes, GPU Clusters, Multi-GPU Nodes, IL5 Security, CUI/ITAR Compliance, Workflow Automation, Cost Governance, Scientific Computing, Predictive Modelling, Scheduler Abstraction, HPCwire Top Cloud Platform, Cloud Repatriation, NOAA, Biomedical Research, Space Weather Modelling, ML-based Physics ReplacementGreat Things with Great Tech Podcast: https://gtwgt.comGTwGT Playlist on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GTwGTPodcastListen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5Y1Fgl4DgGpFd5Z4dHulVXListen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/great-things-with-great-tech-podcast/id1519439787EPISODE LINKSParallel Works Website: https://www.parallelworks.comParallel Works on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/parallel-worksMatthew Shaxted on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewshaxtedGTwGT LINKSSupport the Channel: https://ko-fi.com/gtwgtBe on #GTwGT: Contact via Twitter/X @GTwGTPodcast or visit https://www.gtwgt.comSubscribe to YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GTwGTPodcast?sub_confirmation=1Great Things with Great Tech Podcast Website: https://gtwgt.comSOCIAL LINKSFollow GTwGT on Social Media:Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/GTwGTPodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/GTwGTPodcastTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@GTwGTPodcast

In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I'm joined by Glen Shok, VP of Product Marketing at Panzura, for a detailed look into how the company is rethinking hybrid cloud storage with the release of CloudFS 8.5 Adapt. CloudFS 8.5 isn't just another update. Built in direct response to customer feedback, it introduces powerful new features like Instant Node and Regional Store that redefine performance, availability, and business continuity. Instant Node allows failed systems to be replaced or migrated in under five minutes.  Regional Store brings high-speed data access closer to end users around the world while reducing latency and cloud egress costs. As Glen explains, the latest release meets the growing demand for flexibility in the face of geopolitical uncertainty, rising cloud costs, and evolving IT infrastructure. Panzura is helping organizations maintain uptime, protect data, and adapt quickly, whether moving away from VMware or modernizing a global IT footprint. CloudFS 8.5 Adapt enables this without forcing customers to compromise on control, performance, or security. We also explore how Panzura's vision for autonomic data infrastructure is becoming a reality. With every CloudFS node sharing full configuration metadata, new nodes can spin up almost instantly. AI plays a central role here too. Through Panzura Data Services, AI tracks behavioral anomalies to detect early signs of data exfiltration, ransomware, or internal threats. This provides not just alerts, but the ability to interdict and isolate risky behavior in real time. Looking ahead, Glen shares how Panzura is preparing to support AI workloads directly where unstructured data lives. Instead of migrating terabytes to external platforms, organizations can train language models in place, reducing cost and complexity. With features like enhanced RBAC, native Entra ID support, and a virtual data lake model on the horizon, Panzura is clearly positioning itself at the intersection of enterprise storage and AI innovation. If you work in cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, data governance, or AI deployment, this episode offers practical insights into the challenges IT teams face today and the technologies that are solving them.

As part of the IT Press Tour in Silicon Valley, I had the opportunity to sit down with David Flynn, CEO of Hammerspace, to explore how the company is redefining the future of enterprise data storage. At a time when AI-driven workloads and hybrid cloud computing are pushing storage demands to new heights, Hammerspace is stepping in with a fresh approach. Their Global Data Platform is designed to eliminate data silos, providing seamless access and orchestration for unstructured data across edge locations, data centers, and cloud environments. Hammerspace is experiencing a breakout year, with tenfold revenue growth driven by the surging demand for AI storage solutions and hybrid cloud infrastructure. The conversation delves into how the company is enabling enterprises to move beyond traditional storage limitations.  David explains the critical role of Parallel Network File System, or pNFS, in delivering high-performance storage solutions. We also discuss why it's gaining traction as organizations seek ways to process massive amounts of data with greater efficiency. Together, we explore the state of pNFS adoption, how Hammerspace is driving its evolution, and why it is a key pillar of its platform strategy. Another important aspect of the discussion is the difference between global namespaces and true data orchestration. While global namespaces have gained attention in enterprise storage, David explains why simply having a global namespace is not enough.  Orchestration is the missing piece that allows data to be moved, accessed, and utilized efficiently across distributed environments. By combining orchestration with a truly global namespace, Hammerspace is making data instantly accessible to users, applications, and compute clusters, no matter where they are located. As AI workloads become increasingly complex, the need for a new approach to data management is clear. Enterprises require storage solutions that can keep up with the demands of high-speed analytics, GPU-driven AI, and hybrid cloud strategies.  Hammerspace is positioning itself as a leader in this space, offering a way to bridge the gap between traditional storage architectures and the needs of modern enterprises. The company's rapid growth is also reflected in its recent leadership expansion. With a new Chief Revenue Officer joining the team and Hammerspace earning recognition as Product of the Year in TechTarget's Storage Awards, the company is making significant strides in shaping the future of enterprise data storage. With so much change happening in data infrastructure, what does the future hold for AI storage and enterprise data management? Will solutions like Hammerspace become the new industry standard for high-performance storage and orchestration?  I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.
