On this week's episode of GMH Hotels, Sarah Dandashy and Steve Turk unpack five major developments reshaping the hospitality and travel ecosystem. First, the luxury-hotelier Mandarin Oriental Oriental is being taken private in a deal valued at $4.2 billion. Then they examine the ripple effects of a major Amazon Web Services (AWS) outage that disrupted travel operators and highlighted infrastructure fragility. Waymo enters the business-travel arena with its new “Waymo for Business” robotaxi program aimed at corporate clients. They also dive into the cheeky marketing strategy of Ryanair—from tanks to TikTok—and how travel brands are waging attention wars. Finally, they explore how host cities for the FIFA World Cup 2026™ - Canada, Mexico and the United States are raising hotel taxes ahead of 2026 and what that pressure motion looks like for hotel operators. Sarah and Steve provide a full-spectrum briefing on what hotel leaders need to watch right now and how to stay ahead of the curve!

What happens when AI reshapes intellectual property, and decentralized storage rewrites data sovereignty? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, we explore that intersection with a deep dive into the work of StorX Network, a platform rethinking cloud storage from the ground up. Our guest joins from StorX, a decentralized cloud storage network designed with privacy, security, and user empowerment at its core. At a time when data privacy is eroding and centralized providers are struggling to keep pace with evolving threats, StorX offers a radically different approach. Their system encrypts data using the user's private passphrase, fragments it into smaller pieces, then distributes multiple copies across a global network of autonomous nodes. The result? A storage solution that is trustless, censorship resistant, and economically more efficient, often cutting costs by up to 90 percent compared to traditional providers. We discuss how StorX is positioning itself in a world increasingly concerned about surveillance, ransomware, and digital control. Much like AI is forcing conversations around copyright and ownership, decentralized storage is surfacing urgent questions around who controls data and how it's accessed. This episode is not just about technology, it's about the philosophical shift in how we think about trust, control, and freedom in digital spaces. We unpack why decentralized architecture matters, how privacy-preserving systems can scale, and where innovation is heading next. If you're building applications or storing sensitive data, this is a conversation worth tuning in for. Because as digital life becomes more complex, where and how we store our information will define what kind of internet we want to live in.

Brandon Frost shares his experience with memory tiering and the use of Intel Optane in his large private cloud environment. He explains how memory tiering helped optimize memory usage and reduce costs by offloading cold memory to a non-active tier. He also discusses the challenges of upgrading memory and the benefits of using NVMe-based tiering. Brandon expresses his interest in Project Peaberry, a memory tiering offloading card, and its potential use cases. He highlights the importance of his team in developing capacity data gathering and analytics solutions.Takeaways:Memory tiering helps optimize memory usage and reduce costs by offloading cold memory to a non-active tier.Using NVMe-based tiering provides flexibility and scalability in memory allocation.Project Peaberry, a memory tiering offloading card, offers potential benefits in terms of performance and cost-effectiveness.Effective capacity planning requires robust data gathering and analytics solutions.Brandon Frost emphasizes the importance of his team in developing and implementing memory optimization strategies.Links:VMware Explore session by Brandon and Arvind on memory tieringMemory Tiering blog on vmware.comDisclaimer: The thoughts and opinions shared in this podcast are our own/guest(s), and not necessarily those of Broadcom or VMware by Broadcom.

Before we jump into a broad set of topics today, give us a little bit about your background and what you focus on today.Topic 2 - The hyperscalers have grown quite large over the last decade, but as we came out of COVID, many of their customers were concerned about the cost of cloud. Are we seeing a new rationalization coming around cloud costs and accountability of costs? Topic 3 - We've all read the headlines regarding changes to VMware by Broadcom. Alternatives to VMware would be big decisions for many companies. As a neutral independent, how are you framing your thinking about the VMware ecosystem and the decisions being made about the future of virtualization? Topic 4 - Over the last decade, we've seen so many new technologies. To get value from them, they require more cross-functional collaboration. These days we tend to call that Platform Engineering. How well do you see the evolution of people and processes being adopted, and how much more needs to happen?Topic 5 - Behind the scenes of every transition over the past decade (Cloud, AI, Cloud-native) is the adoption of automation. This seems like a no-brainer, but actual adoption is lumpy across companies. What are some of the hard parts of automation that aren't discussed enough? FEEDBACK?Email: show at the cloudcast dot netTwitter: @cloudcastpodInstagram: @cloudcastpodTikTok: @cloudcastpod
