For the second day of IBM Edge 2014 in Las Vegas this week, John Furrier and Dave Vellante, theCUBE co-hosts, caught up with Norman Filicetti, the President of Data Integrity awardee of the Winning Edge in IBM’s System x server category (see the entire segment below).
“The Winning Edge Award was given to us for our success in developing our learning, technical skills, and for our strategy. We have had a 700 percent in terms of growth,” said Filicetti. “The selling was certainly an important factor, but also important were the skills that we gained: we’ve got technical skills, executive knowledge base, we developed Top Gun type classes, and so on.”
“How are your skillsets and requirements changing?” asked Vellante. “Are the customers demanding new changes? Is there more of an application-centricity, faster cycle-times, any particular skills that you are bringing in to accommodate the market?”
“Certainly, the applications are the key point, we have developed them over the years and we’ve had a strong presence in the Enterprise. They are key applications that we deliver,” stated Filicetti.
Furrier wanted the Data Integrity President to talk more about the cloud and the System x servers’ position on the commodity side for private cloud. “Is it more data center deployments? What is the customer situation?”
“Primarily we are in the datacenter, so we deploy a lot into the private cloud structure, but we also have a key component of our business in retail, and we have applications driven in mission critical out in the field, and we’re starting to virtualize those environments.”
