Scale's CEO and Co-Founder Jeff Ready joins us on this episode of DataCentric, where we talk about:

  • The origins of Scale Computing, and HCI
  • Where HCI fits into enteprise architecture
  • Why HCI is a great fit for the edge, both as it exists today (ROBO, etc), as well as what will be enabled by 5G.
  • What Scale Computing is doing differently in the world of HCI.

]]> This week Matt & Steve talk through some of what they learned at recent industry events, including the moves that NVIDIA is making into the data center, some discussion of containers in the enterprise, a brief wrap-up from Nutanix's investor conference in New York, some light-thinking following Matt's first missed Open Compute Summit in a decade, and a bit of non-political discussion on Huawei.

If you follow Data Center technology, as well as the players behind the what's happening, you'll be in good company with Matt KImball and Steve McDowell from Moor Insights & Strategy and the DataCentric Podcast.
