>> I'm Kristen Nicole Martin, welcome to theCUBE. We are here for day two at Dell Technologies World in the opulent Venetian, and we've got a very special guest with us from Microsoft. We have Jeff Woolsey, a principal programming manager, and he's going to talk to us about his partnership with Dell, the ecosystem, some of the stories and news you have going on today. Welcome to theCUBE.>> Thank you so much. It's my real pleasure to be here. And you mentioned partnership. It's a huge partnership we have with Dell. It spans over 35 years, so it's a great, great, fantastic partnership. And as I'm kind of standing here at the booth, I'm front of the Dell booth here. We've got modern data centers, we've got modern work, we've got AI, couldn't agree more. We're partnering across all of those different areas.>> So many. And you even had some news that came out earlier this week, today. Can you give us any details about that?>> Yes. We are very excited about the new Dell AX solutions for Azure Local. We have customers that basically say they wanted to embrace distributed hybrid cloud and they want to be able to do it with a consistent management experience. That's what this Dell AX solution for Azure Local is all about. It's about delivering solutions that run on-premises that can be managed from the cloud. In fact, we can even deliver cloud services on-premises as well. Things like Azure Virtual Desktop, data services, application services, and so much more. So it's a fantastic solutions for those customers looking for that hybrid cloud experience.>> Some great background. And I know you got to go into some more detail about it when you were on the big stage at theCUBE earlier. How was that? I know that you've been on theCUBE many times.>> I've been on theCUBE many times. It's always a lot of fun. I'm always interested in the feedback that I get afterwards. People will ping me on social media. They'll ask about the cool things that we've talked about, especially things like, again, the new Dell AX solution for Azure Local. One of the things that customers tell us also is of course this AI thing behind us. You heard Michael Dell talk about it in the keynote. A huge area of focus for data and AI. We also have some big announcements. This week for example, we're announcing SQL Server 2025. Preview bits are available with a huge focus on AI. And as one of my coworkers, Bob in the SQL Server team likes to say, "Data is really the fuel for AI." Couldn't agree more. And so for customers that want to be able to take advantage of AI, Dell Data Solutions together, we've got a fantastic story we're working on together with SQL Server 2025 now in public preview.>> And I'm glad you mentioned the keynote because there are a couple of things that stood out. One of them was Michael Dell's note about how AI is really power and purpose. I know AI has a big story at Microsoft. Can you tell us about how AI is powering the purpose there?>> We are quite literally using AI everywhere. You're seeing it in your modern work, you're seeing it with Copilot PCs. You're seeing it in the data center as people are building new applications and taking advantage of building AI agents. You're seeing people that want to use it in the cloud where some of the latest tools are. And you're also seeing people say, "No, I also want AI on premises." For example, I have an organization that's been around for 10, 15, 20 years. We've got lots of data. We'd like to be able to mine that data with AI so that we can build better solutions for our customers and for our organization. We believe we are right in the middle of this revolution going on with AI.>> Well, thank you so much for your time. Before I let you go, I want to make sure that our audience knows where they can find out more information, how to get started and learn more about what you guys have going on here today.>> Well, absolutely. You can of course go to Dell.com and look for the Dell AX solutions for Azure Local. And of course you can go to Microsoft.com/Azure to learn more about Azure Local solutions there as well.>> Thank you so much.>> Thank you.>> Always. And for the viewers out there, make sure you keep it tuned in to theCube.net, your leader and enterprise computing coverage. And definitely check out Jeff's segment from the big stage, on demand at theCube.net.
