Watch Party Turkey

>> Welcome back everyone. We are here in Palo Alto. We're going to go remote to a watch party at Mike Flynn's distributed storage systems global market with IBM. Mike, Dave Vellante are here with you, and welcome to the watch party.

Mike Flynt

>> Thank you. Well, listen, I'm excited to be on with the team here. As we've mentioned several times, we've got a couple watch parties. So we've got one in Atlanta here. Team, say hello everyone.

>> All right.

Mike Flynt

>> So we're raising the roof here, excited about the different announcements. And then we've got London. And then right now, we're going to spend a little bit of time with our partners and team in Istanbul. So what I'd like to do is... I did get a note, guys. I'm supposed to make a public service announcement that everybody should socialize IBMCube. So I feel like I need to make sure that I got that off my plate here. So again, everybody, IBMCube. So we had the opportunity, guys, to do a 5,300 test and work on performance and some workloads, and we had an incredible business partner that took on that challenge and is really a great service provider. They're a big client of ours from an FS5 perspective. So we're announcing the 300. So the test was on the 300, and that video that we're going to play here soon after is going to share that experience and that performance. And we'll hear multiple levels of not only just the performance, but some of the things that you're going to hear further down, guys, about our FCM4, inline threat detection, and some of those things that really culminate to what Sam was talking about earlier, kind of what Audrey's taken you through when you think about basically storage for life, right? Concept. And so you're going to hear bits and pieces of that in the narrative that Engin's going to take us through. But I would like to ask them a couple of questions while we've got this time before the video, is what... With the 300... And I'll pass this to Emre. Emre is one of our sales representatives there in Istanbul for storage, has been key to really a lot of our growth in the FS5 arena there in Turkey. But Emre, if I could ask you what were the key things that, as you and Engin talked, and after the testing

>> Yeah. Hi, Mike. Hi from Istanbul to watch party. Please, all the audience say hi to camera.

>> All right. Yes. Great.

>> We are all the live video, and we are here with Cozumtek in here.

Mike Flynt

>> Thank you,

>> Yes. Hi, Mike, again. Yes, Engin did the tests for the 300, and he record the video for us. And after this meeting, I think we will play the video. But if you ask some questions, I will ask also him and we will talk.

Mike Flynt

>> So one of the things, Emre, that as I watched the video was performance, scalability, so maybe a couple of things along those lines, as well as I know it was rarely happy with the FCM4 and the capabilities there. So maybe just touch a little bit on those few points. I don't want to give away all the secrets of the video, but I think it'd be important for you to highlight a few of those things.

>> Yes, Engin. But like about the you did the tests and all the things.

Engin Cetinkaya

>> I want to say two idea. One of them, thanks for the engineers, is still 1U. Okay.

>> You're right.

Engin Cetinkaya

>> And second one is provides hardware level protection against ransomware attack with FCM4 disks.Yes. And also thanks to Brocade, we will already talk with Engin because of the 64 gigabytes hospice adapters. It's really fast now. And also, the processor increase, we will get more performance than the 200. So we are happy with the tests, Mike.

Mike Flynt

>> So the audience, so in here in our watch parties, those that are watching out there on the, excuse me, theCUBE event is... Jim Comstock, after we do a video, he'll get on and he'll talk a little bit more about our capabilities on the 5300, some of those performance factors. Just thought it was important for us to see that we have clients and partners, we're testing, and these things are resonating. And so it really amplifies the message, team, that we're talking about here on this Live Cube event. So what I want to do next is we've got our infrastructure sales leader for the Middle East and Africa storage infrastructure, and that's Nazeer Naz, can you just share some thoughts with the team for a couple of minutes here?

>> Absolutely, Mike. I think firstly, I just want to say a big thank you to Emre, the entire storage team in Turkey and Engin and Cozumtek for all of their efforts in the testing. I think I, for one, I'm humbled by the dedication specifically to Flash systems in Turkey. So Turkey represents the largest install base for us for Flash system across the entire Middle East and Africa region. And this is in no small part down to their hard work, the dedication of our loyal business partners, and of course, our valued customers over in Turkey, and I'm really proud about this. Of course, it helps when you have an amazing product, right, Mike, like the Flash system? And it just sets the bar higher and higher again and again. And we see this again now once more with the FS5300 But I think beyond the great capability that's within the Flash systems, I'm really excited about the business value that we further enhancing in this solution offering by introducing storage assurance as a program. So I think this is something unique, and it's going to be a game changer for us and for our customers. And speaking of excitement, I am really looking forward to IBM Cyber District 24 program, right? So this is in partnership with Brocade. We run this promotional program. This is the third year in a row that we are running it. Every year, it gets bigger. It gets better. This year, it's centered all around cyber resiliency. Of course, the Flash system capability, in conjunction with Brocade SAN, and of course, IBM storage defender provides a unique solution offering capable of delivering cyber resiliency. And I think this is rounded out very nicely now within the Flash system family with the introduction of the latest edition, the 5300. So, exciting stuff. I'm really looking forward to it. I'm amped. I think you guys should all check it out and sign up today.

Mike Flynt

>> Naz, I think that's a great perspective, and I'm glad you highlighted some of these events that we've got going on. So if your partner's in EMEA, the IBM Cyber district, 24 is something you need to make sure that you're looking at. Just one last comment. Something... And this doesn't just happen happenstance, but I believe the community. When I think about what goes on in Turkey and how they work together, my last opportunity when I was with you and Emre in Istanbul, the level of partnership amongst partners, there was a true concern about clients, and it was nice to see how they came together and talked. And so while they were learning from us, Naz, they were working amongst each other, and I love the aspect of leveraging and understanding everything that they can leverage from us and applying it to their customers, and they were talking amongst themselves. So I do believe that's how things get moving, and you see the inertia and the momentum in Istanbul. I think it is the partnership of IBM and the partners working so well together. So, great stuff. So thank you, Naz. Thank you, Istanbul team. Back from the Atlanta team here. We'll pass it back over.

>> Okay. Mike, we

>> Thank you,

>> great energy. Unbelievable watch parties. Love the network effect, physical face-to-face, people building relationships, the client testimonial, the customer traction. Really great energy, and love it. Brought up big time. Thanks to everyone out the watch party. We'll come back to some other watch parties throughout this program. We'll be back with Jim after this short break.
