Finding connection in a world of fragmented Clouds | #VMworld
by Nelson Williams | Sep 2, 2015
These days, more and more of the tech world is moving to the Cloud, but there is no single Cloud out there. Instead, businesses find a world of fragmented Clouds, some public, some private, but all only loosely connected, if connected at all. Much of the recent innovation in the Cloud has come from bringing these loose connections closer together.
To help shed some light on the subject, John Furrier and Dave Vellante of theCUBE, from the SilconANGLE Media team, spoke with Steve Herrod, managing director at General Catalyst Partners, at the VMworld 2015 conference. The discussion started off with a look at the concept of infrastructure as code and the idea of programmable infrastructure. Although useful, such technology would need strict testing and versioning to keep it functional.
Bringing the chaos to order
Things then turned toward the fragmented world of technology and how there have been many attempts to bring the separate pieces of the digital puzzle together. Herrod mentioned that he looks for companies who can tame some of that wilderness when he makes investment decisions.
No one, he said, starts with a green field. A company’s technology is always based on something that came before. The real issue is how to bridge the gap between what a company has in place and what they need to reach in today’s new world of computing.
The shifting face of security
Security is fundamental to any online service, and every digital business must be aware of security at all times. However, the traditional moat style of defense is not enough. Herrod said he was interested in security procedures that involved one policy across the system and protective services that can detect and isolate an attack even inside the system.
Another facet of a modern security policy is building around identity, as a user’s identity is the one thing that follows them across devices and access levels.
