During the earnings call, Cisco Systems acknowledged the competitive landscape in cybersecurity and observability, as evidenced by Palo Alto Networks' acquisition of Exabeam. However, Cisco highlighted its strategic strengths in these areas, emphasizing the value of an integrated, unified platform for end-to-end security and insightful solutions.The company stated its focus on the immediate integration of its XDR (Extended Detection and Response) solution with Splunk Enterprise Security, showcasing its commitment to harnessing the combined strengths of Cisco and Splunk. This integration represents progress in developing seamless product alliances, innovative solutions, and robust go-to-market strategies.Furthermore, Cisco has integrated AI capabilities into its cybersecurity offerings, such as Cisco Hypershield, to differentiate itself from competitors relying on standalone products. The company asserted that embedding security within the network fabric provides a unique and significant market differentiation.Cisco's strategic emphasis on integration, AI capabilities, and unified platforms in cybersecurity and observability positions the company to leverage market opportunities and address evolving industry challenges effectively.Navigating Macroeconomic Challenges and Sector-Specific DynamicsWhile Cisco experienced revenue declines in its core networking business due to inventory implementations, its security and observability segments saw growth driven by innovations and the integration of Splunk. The company acknowledged the ongoing macroeconomic challenges, particularly in the telco and cable segments, although some stabilization was noted in the Webscale sector.Cisco's CEO, Chuck Robbins, stated, "So from a macro perspective, what I would say is that ironically, we saw the quarter actually slow -- showed slight improvement as we move through the quarter." The company's strong cash flow and strategic investments in AI, security, and the Splunk integration position it well for future growth, despite these headwinds.Balancing Growth Opportunities and Competitive PressuresCisco Systems reported mixed financial results, with revenues for Q3 down 13% year-over-year at $12.7 billion, primarily due to reduced product revenue. However, service revenue saw a 6% uptick, and the recent acquisition of Splunk added $413 million post-close, boosting annualized recurring revenue to $29.2 billion. Gross margins remained strong at 68.3%, and operating margins stayed steady.While the company faced declines in its core networking business, key customer sectors like data center and campus switching, security, and collaboration witnessed order increases. Capital returns to shareholders amounted to a robust $2.9 billion in Q3.Moving forward, Cisco Systems must navigate the competitive waters while capitalizing on growth opportunities in cybersecurity and observability. The company's strategic focus on integration, AI capabilities, and unified platforms positions it to address evolving industry challenges and leverage market opportunities effectively.

Sonal Puri is the CEO of Webscale – her 4th B2B SaaS startup. Webscale is disrupting the multi billion dollar market for cloud hosting & cloud services. Sonal talks about: Using deep tech to turn the cloud into a utility Replacing her talented, humble & self-aware founding CEO The potential dangers of pursuing a freemium pricing model How she learns each & every day from other startup CEOs & mentors Webscale's impact on $billion clients like Puma, Unilever & Tommy Hilfiger For more insights into Webscale check out https://www.webscale.com & for advice on hiring world class talent for B2B software scale-ups check out http://alpinasearch.com  

CEO Sonal Puri of Webscale shares how her company helps B2C and B2B sellers of all sizes manage their cloud infrastructure globally, helping them take advantage of the cloud’s almost infinite scalability while optimizing costs, security, and performance. In this episode, we discuss: As a startup, how Webscale is disrupting the digital infrastructure space as “the digital cloud company” for more than 1000 online stores globally Webscale’s ability to manage applications in the public cloud on behalf of customers across all the “hyperscale” cloud providers, including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Alibaba Cloud, and others The company’s experience with online commerce is key to helping clients manage their infrastructure for maximum benefit with minimal cost Large hyperscale providers are providing very reliable, scalable cloud infrastructure/hosting on demand, while Webscale runs its own services on top:  security, predictive autoscaling, performance, caching, content optimization, bot management, etc. Webscale provides an easy-to-use interface/portal for customers It also ensures cloud computing consumption is always right-sized so customers don’t pay for more than they use Infrastructure as a commodity or utility, like electricity, allowing retailers/brands to pay only for what they need, when they need it How today’s technology and cloud offerings allow smaller retailers to access the same tools as leading global brands, leveling the playing field Why it makes sense to use a vendor like Webscale to manage your cloud infrastructure Migrating applications to the cloud from traditional hosting models can be confusing and challenging Costs start to add up quickly if you don’t manage your infrastructure actively Security concerns are only escalating and require constant monitoring 24x7 global support includes expertise across multiple clouds Why even the data layer no longer presents scalability issues if the infrastructure is set up correctly, even for retailers who see 20x or 30x traffic spikes during peak seasons Migrating infrastructure to the cloud typically takes anywhere from 1-2 weeks up to 2 months, depending on complexity and the amount of testing required With good business requirements, Webscale quickly figures out the right solution using available providers Why Sonal believes the infrastructure market will undergo further commoditization and look more and more like a utility, with probably three hyperscale providers and perhaps a small group of very targeted cloud providers (e.g. a health cloud or database cloud)

Tell us about some of your background prior to joining Datadog, and about your focus areas today. Topic 2 - Let’s start with some conceptual buckets - how do you sort out the differences when people say “monitoring” vs. “logging” vs. “observability”? Topic 3 - Logging has the inherent tradeoff between the desire to “log everything” and the limitation of costs to log (and retain everything). What are some of the trends to potentially make this tradeoff more manageable?Topic 4 - At some point, the tradeoff between sending logs, filtering logs, storing logs all boils down to a financial trade-off of immediate costs vs potential costs associated with failure. How do you see those conversations playing out in real life? Any suggestions on a framework for doing those types of analysis? Topic 5 - What role do you see AI playing in the future of Logging/Observability? It seems like that needs to become the next big step if the industry solves the challenges of logging/storage more and more.

This week on the podcast, we chat about the latest release of NetApp’s object storage solution – StorageGRID Webscale 11.2! Join us as we ask StorageGRID software director Duncan Moore and Global Solutions Architect Luke Mun all about StorageGRID and object storage.

As the importance of our data continues to grow, so does our need to scale its use, be it for performance, resilience or reasons of data locality, the need to architect solutions and find technologies to support this demand for data at scale is increasingly important. If we look at the way cloud giants use their data, it's clear that "traditional" database methods are not going to be suitable and of course it's not just "cloud giants" who need their data at scale, today, enterprises of all types need to be able to present their data with the same scale, flexibility and resilience. One widely adopted way of doing this is using Apache Cassandra as a database technology. But why? and how does Cassandra differ from our traditional on-prem solutions such as SQL and Oracle? That is the topic of this week's Tech Interviews as Patrick Callaghan, Solutions Architect at Datastax joins me to provide an intro to Cassandra as a database technology, how it works and why it's becoming the database of choice in the modern webscale world. In this episode we discuss; *Cassandra's beginning at Facebook * Why you may need a scalable, distributed database * What challenges does it bring * Why automation at your busiest times is perhaps not the answer * Webscale database use cases * Where Datastax can help Patrick is a great guest and provided a fantastic intro to the world of Cassandra and what it can mean for the way we handle data in this distributed, webscale world. Next week we start a brief series talking with Cloud Architects and Migration specialists about making a success of Public Cloud Projects, too make sure you catch that show then please subscribe in all of the usual podcast places and until next time, Thanks for listening.

So you may have thought about using NoSQL or a Document Database for taking care of you needs. But do you know why that might be not be a good (or a pretty bad idea?). Or you may have a Database that have been running fine, but it seems that you can't work with it anymore? (Is it time to move to NoSql? Would it help?). We dive into the "Why" would you choose Databases vs NoSQL Data Stores, or when to ditch your MongoDB and actually come back to MySQL. In our current time of "WebScale" and "CloudReady" we get bombarded by choices! (Mongo, Dynamo, MariaDB, ElasticSearch) and while some of the offerings are great, it might not mean that is the Right choice for what we need to store. So take a listen as we explore normalization and the strength and weaknesses of relational data vs unstructured data.

MageMojo and Webscale Discuss Magento in the Cloud by Kalen Jordan

DCD Webscale in SAN FRANCISCO June 2018- I talked hyperscale data center growth with Compass Datacenters' Nancy Novak, Turner Construction's Ben Kaplan, ABB's Ciaran Flanagan, and 1547 Managing Director Corey Welp. We dove in to how this type of data center development has and will continue to change the industry.

Peggy and Chuck Byers, principal engineer and platform architect, Cisco, discuss interoperability and he questions how we are going to achieve interoperability if there are 900 different platforms. Interoperability—and security—are big challenges that face the industry. He believes quantum computing is a threat to IoT (Internet of Things) security, but the arms race is going to be won by the good guys. At the same time, having one player in the market is an impossible task, as no one can do everything, he explains. When discussing bringing companies into the OpenFog Consortium, he says the big Web-scale companies have been invited to join, but politely refuse. Byers speculates that it is because the companies believe they have the power to influence the industry all by themselves and they are smart because they know where the share owners want them to go, but it might not be best for the industry.

This week on the podcast, we welcome Duncan Moore, Director of StorageGRID at NetApp, in to chat about the latest and greatest StorageGRID WebScale release, which comes out today! As a bonus, we also discuss StorageGRID 10.3, which we somehow overlooked on the podcast. Tune in to find out what’s new in the world of S3!

When Michael Phelps bought a ring for his girlfriend at a small retail shop then shared it online, thousands of his more than one million followers flooded the website of this small jewelry shop. That massive increase in traffic could’ve caused the site to crash. But as a customer of WebScale, the site was ale to adapt. Businesses dream of having their website flooded with orders. But for some, when it happens, it’s a nightmare! Everything comes to a stop in the surge of traffic. Why? Because they don’t have the infrastructure to support the number of people creating transactions on their site. Webscale CEO Sonal Puri talks about how her company is helping businesses of all sizes leverage the cloud to avoid crashes. In our “HealthTech” series, Stroll Co-founder and COO Matt Maurer talks about how he’s helping doctors guide their patients on the best, most cost-effective options for medical tests. If you have to get an MRI or an ultrasound, prices can vary by as much as $10,000 within a few miles. His technology provides that information to your doctor before you even leave their office. Plus, UpRamp Managing Director Scott Brown shares four startups that have the potential for disrupting the Cable industry.

StorageGRID Webscale is NetApp’s object data storage system. Recently version 10.2 was released and added a number of new and interesting features. To enlighten us, we asked none other than Duncan Moore, Director for StorageGRID at NetApp, to visit us and give us a breakdown. As always, Duncan does a great job extolling the benefits of object storage, so if you’re curious about object storage and it’s use cases, give this episode a listen!
