The Hot Aisle – v0dgeball, vSpecialists, & SE Culture with Fred Nix – Episode 11
The Hot Aisle is hosted by Brent Piatti (@brentpiatti) and Brian Carpenter (@intheDC). This Episode’s guest is none other than Fred Nix (@nixfred) Systems Engineering Manager for EMC in the South. Fred comes to us specifically to talk about v0dgeball2015 @ VMworld and its origins and charity The Wounded Warrior Project, but leaves us with golden gems that include: Public Speaking and how Stand Up Comedy plays a role in transforming your public speaking skills. Motivating, Molding, and downright hugging New Hire Systems Engineers as part of his Global Presales Operations role. Having a brand or legacy that may or may not include a lot of Jaeger (and how much of that is true?!). The role military service had on his career path and his work ethic. And last but not least – a glimpse into the formation of the vSpecialist organization at EMC – and how that “culture -not- cult” has stretched its tentacles into the organization worldwide – including New Hires Orientation.Friday, July 31, 2015
The Hot Aisle – Open Kimono Edition with Chad Sakac – Episode 10
Our 10th Episode is here! We’re on a roll and you can’t stop us. This is our first remote recording, done with none other than POPS – Chad Sakac (@sakacc) while we got him to sit still for almost an hour at the mothership in Hopkinton. We get Chad to give us *concise* answers on questions about what the essential traits of a good SE are and how he gets himself involved and aligned with the ventures side of EMC to make decisions on key technologies of the future. He also waxes poetic on the changing tech landscape and where software defined things fit into that equation. And, of course, we talk a bit about VMworld which is just a month away. We had dozens of YOUR questions waiting to hit Chad with, and the only way to do that is to have him back in the future. Keep on listening with us on The Hot Aisle!Monday, July 27, 2015
The Hot Aisle – Object Storage, Software Defined, & Open Source w/ Manuvir Das – Episode 9
Welcome back! This week Senior Vice President of EMC’s Advanced Software Division (ASD) Manuvir Das joins us on The Hot Aisle to discuss all things Object Storage, Software Defined Data Center (SDDC), Why he’s choosing to embrace Open Source for various product offerings, and he also opens the Kimono a bit to talk about Project Caspian! We discuss how Enterprises can begin to embrace object storage as the mass file storage of the future – using existing API’s or embracing the pervasive S3 protocol from Amazon on platforms that can go inside their data center. We also discuss where file and object overlap, and the challenges that are faced with file once you look at customers from a global perspective with geographically dispersed data centers. Manuvir’s teams also include the team behind CoprHD, which is now in full read/write mode on GitHub – he discusses the thought process behind going Open, and how he hopes the enterprise version ViPR can benefit from it. Thanks for joining as always, and don’t hesitate to hit up myself @intheDC or my co-host @brentpiatti with questions, topics, guest suggestions or otherwise. Tune in next week for Episdode 10 – it’s gunna be Awesomesauce!Monday, July 20, 2015
