Will businesses shift to white-box technology for their data centers? | #OCPSummit16
by Marlene Den Bleyker | Mar 9, 2016
David Floyer, cofounder and CTO of Wikibon, joined Jeff Frick and Stu Miniman, cohosts of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, to wrap up the day at The Open Compute Project (OCP) Networking event. Floyer assisted the hosts in breaking down what OCP is doing and where it is leading companies in the future.
A larger playing field
Floyer sees OCP in a much different capacity than it was in the past. “You are seeing individual technologies evolving for very specialized problems that large data centers are having,” he said. “It’s being applied on a much broader scale.”
He explained how OCP is no longer just about Facebook. He found it interesting that the majority of speakers were from Microsoft and Intel. Floyer noted that just going along the floor there are a lot of different players in this environment.
“The depth of technologies, what they are taking on is very different from what it was. They are now normalizing putting in these big systems, normalizing Flash, normalizing the use of GPUs, and it’s enabling the software itself to develop at a much faster rate,” he said.
Predictions for the future
Floyer covered areas such as telecom companies moving to white-box technology for their data centers. He feels that personalized networks will move from traditional mainframe networking into the 21st century of white boxes. According to Floyer, there will be new services and new ways of doing things. He also discussed IoT and what’s to become of the edge.
Floyer said there is at least 10 to 15 years ahead of us until we reach the limit on capacity, and there is a long way to take technology further. Some of the exciting breakthroughs he remarked about are programming capabilities and artificial systems of intelligence. He predicted an operational shift from the $2 trillion currently being spent by the enterprise to a reduction of $1 trillion.
