And Rangachari’s customers are quick to agree: Rangachari has spent the past few days at Red Hat Summit combing the crowds in search of user feedback. And, so far, response has been positive. Rangachari spoke to Stu Miniman (@stu) and Brian Gracely (@bgracely), cohosts of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, today at Red Hat Summit. Although Red Hat’s latest iteration is only three days old, Rangachari found early indications to be positive. “The interest level is definitely present, and so far it’s going very well,” he said. “There’s no doubt that this technology will change the way people share.” Making storage indivisible Red Hat’s aim is to make storage indivisible by creating a container made of storage where the components work together in a hyper-converged environment and scale as to their deployment. “When we talk about containing storage, it’s all about persistent storage,” said Rangachari. “The need for persistent storage is great. It’s completely integral to the scalability of a product. Containers are now becoming the de facto route to storage, he said. Given the fact that customers are growing increasingly familiar with problems concerning storage and scalability, the need for a shift in technology is critical. “In terms of classical tech adoption, the level of understanding is night and day,” said Rangachari. All of these key takeaways are couched in the context of Red Hat’s customer feedback. “People are telling me, ‘I cannot run today’s and tomorrow’s workloads on yesterday’s work structure.’ It’s this idea that’s totally changing today’s infrastructure.”
