Day 1 VMware Explore today. also known as partner day Going to be interesting to hear from Chris Wolf and the wider Parter Tech Leadership Forum speakers this morning before we head to a partner keynote. Checked in for our speaker slot tomorrow on FOMO around AI. it's almost a sell out and for those attending don't worry, you can queue for any last minute slots in room 20 Hall 8.0 at 1415 tomorrow. Not much I can share from today due to the main event starting tomorrow. #vmware #broadcom #vmwareexplore #vmwarePTLF #speaker #AI #FOMO

It speaks volumes that the shift from "cloud first" to "cloud when appropriate" has hit the BBC. We're seeing an increase in enquiries from companies like Linkpool (featured in this article) who were born in the cloud, and are now hitting an age/maturity where a transformative saving can be made by switching to Colocation. Worth a read for those in my network who are beginning to hit thresholds of control, flexibility, scalability and cost in hyperscale cloud.

I shared yesterday a video that I got the chance to do at NetApp Insight last week. Well other random stuff I got the chance to do, was to join Nick Howell on the ONAIR Snapshot show, which was a live show, delivered daily from the event (Great work Nick by the way!). I got the chance to join him for 15 minutes to talk about Data Classification, its importance and how NetApp is putting it front and centre for their customers and why we all need it in our lives! #data #dataclassification #NetAppInsight https://buff.ly/4eMqTBi https://buff.ly/480KImo

What’s your plan when z/OS 2.4 reaches End of Support? On 30th September this year, z/OS 2.4 will reach End of Support (EOS). After this date, IBM will no longer provide standard support, including fixes, updates, or technical assistance for this version. If you’re still running z/OS v2.4 then don’t worry, Vertali can help! #mainframe #ibmz https://lnkd.in/e3fMKR2Y

Check the below insight out from Phil - I can think of one of two organisations who were famous for using Dell/EMC as their IBM i main SAN Storage - in fact for years it was the only non-IBM alternative for external storage for i. Not renewing that licensing agreement represents a risk to anyone doing this currently - give us a shout to discuss your position and for some advice on working through your options and a roadmap to a fully supported environment. #recarta #recartait #ibmpoweri #IBMpower #AS400 #Dellemc #IBMistorage

Well worth catching up on this report from Hewlett Packard Enterprise on AI - and the 'blind spots' companies may have. As detailed by Marcus Law in Technology Magazine - the report is surfacing a concerning disconnect between organisations' confidence in their AI readiness and the actual gaps in their approaches 💬 Comment from Sylvia Hooks, VP, HPE Aruba Networking: "These findings clearly demonstrate the appetite for AI, but they also highlight very real blind spots that could see progress stagnate if a more holistic approach is not followed" #Technology #GenAI #HPE https://lnkd.in/gD2SM5ag
