Is open computing penetrating into mainstream enterprises? | #OCPSummit16
by Gabriel Pesek | Mar 11, 2016
Among the attendees at the OCP U.S. Summit 2016, scalable infrastructure is generating some energized conversations, as new developments in its implementation and new uses for its utilities are creating big disruption in established practices.
Leo Leung, VP of corporate marketing at Scality, Inc., joined Jeff Frick and Stu Miniman, cohosts of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, to discuss some of the ways in which his company is joining with open computing to push its services and the market forward.
Tech in and out
Leung had positive words for the OCP event, which his company has been attending for a number of years. “It’s one of our best shows; it’s the easiest conversations we have, because everyone understands scale-out. So we can get right into the meat of what we do, on top of hardware,” he said.
He also felt that, beyond the welcoming atmosphere, OCP’s presence year after year was having a significant effect on the business world for tech-savvy enterprises. “I think OCP has been very important to push all the manufacturers down the path … It’s forced everybody to change. But there is adoption, now, outside of the hyperscale providers,” he said, adding that, whether enterprises buy OCP hardware or not, they need to understand the implications of its presence in the marketplace.
Improvements and awareness
Going through a wide array of issues and benefits from open computing’s impact, Leung noted that in the excitement surrounding it, some basic but important qualities of hardware and software were ending up somewhat obscured. As an example, he picked out latency improvement, once a much more high-profile priority for developers. “Maybe people think the [latency] problem is solved, but it’s not, not entirely.”
However, that didn’t keep him from being enthused about the more frequently highlighted improvements that had surfaced in recent years. “With flash, with MvM, there’s going to be some new applications that previously weren’t possible,” he said, and gave the move of indexing functions to flash as just one way in which Scality “can provide the kind of performance that people are looking for.”
Overall, the positive points seemed to outweigh worries that consumers and developers were ending up too dazzled by possibilities. “Customers win at the end of the day … they have a broad, broad choice of options,” Leung stated. For Scality, and other enterprises in similar sectors, that points to a bright future in new environments. “I think that we’re continuing to grow … starting to get real penetration into the mainstream enterprises.”
