2025 Enterprise Cloud Index Shows What’s Driving AI and Cloud Native Technology Trends

Around the year 1100 BC, a wave of destruction washed over the Eastern Mediterranean. It wiped whole civilizations off the map, and left only ash and ruin in its wake. 

This catastrophe, known as “the Late Bronze Age Collapse”, has become one of the enduring puzzles of history. I want to explore how so many societies could collapse all at once, and seemingly without warning, as well as examine the lessons it might teach us in our increasingly globalised and interconnected world.

Digital Transformation - Modernizing IT

Gene Kim: DevOps is Reshaping IT

With the proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT), IT departments are facing a significant shift as human demand for data is surpassed by machines. Machine-to-machine communications ­from robots, retail store sensors and other connected devices are forcing IT departments to put more computing resources to support IoT. This is driving the technology industry to rethink what’s at the core of distributed computing, according to Satyam Vaghani, VP and GM for IoT and AI at Nutanix. 

"It used to be there were very hard problems with no solutions available or the solutions were available only for the chosen few, like the Global 2,000 companies," he said. "All those solutions have now become available to the 'common man.' Now anybody with creativity can actually make their dreams come true. It’s quite amazing."

Satyam Vaghani: Distributed Computing is Unleashing Human Creativity

As a professional ballplayer, he became fascinated with the power of team chemistry. His next career in business showed him that team chemistry was confined to sports. “At my very first job I realized, ‘Oh, that’s not a sports thing…that’s a human thing,” said Mike Robbins. In his series of books (https://mike-robbins.com/), Robbins explores what leaders can do to foster that magic of good chemistry. This segment is from a talk he gave to a group of CIOs and technology leaders gathered at the Nutanix .NEXT event in Anaheim, Calif., where he shared insights into what makes great teams work.

Mike Robbins: Building Winning IT Teams

In what he calls one of the most volatile regions in the world, Matt Young is helping companies modernize their IT. In this segment, Nutanix senior vice president of sales for Asia-Pacific-Japan region describes how he deals with demanding managers and cautious executives from cultures dating to ancient times as they grapple with 21st Century realities. He oversees enterprise software sales across a diverse collection of countries that include Australia, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Singapore, and more. The region is home to more than 60% of the world’s population. “We get North Korea lobbing missiles, earthquakes, tsunamis and even bird flu,” he said. “But it’s also the most exciting and fastest-growing region in the world — with huge opportunities.”

He describes how Japan and Australia were an early adopter of cloud services, but now are focused on private cloud or hybrid cloud environments. “Businesses want that cloud-like experience on-premises,” Young said.

Matt Young: Enterprise Cloud Catching on Across Asia, Pacific and Japan

“We’re reinventing how we do IT right now,” said Steve McDowell, senior tech analyst at Moor Insights & Strategy. He reads signs from technology’s past and sees a future that is increasingly powered by software. What was once difficult, costly and time-consuming for businesses is quickly becoming more accessible and affordable due to the wonders of software. Here he shares insights for how to shift from a hardware to software defined future.

Steve McDowell: Preparing for a Software Defined Future

With the average cost of a data breach for a company now at $3.8 million and the emergence of regulations like GDPR and the CCPA, businesses have more than customer distrust to contend with if their data is not properly safeguarded. “Without security, you have nothing,” said Ben Ravani, Senior Vice President of Reliability Engineering at Nutanix. In this segment, Ravani explains why every company needs to be a security company. Even if public cloud services continue to make computing more accessible and scalable, companies that don’t prioritize data protection will likely lose customer trust.

Ben Ravani: Why Security is Priority Number One for Any Cloud Service

Throwing Muses new single 'Dark Blue'
From new album 'Sun Racket' out 22nd May
Pre-order: https://fire-records.lnk.to/TM_SunRacket

“One of America’s finest guitar bands” The Quietus
 
“A ground-breaking band who changed the face of alternative music rather than follow the rule book.” MXDWN
 
Throwing Muses return and sing songs aquatic; toasting the dark blue of the water, the New Orleans bywater viewed from New England’s Bo Diddley bridge. The bridge collapsing, the water waiting – who’s saving us?
 
Returning with their signature sound, the legendary Boston trio Throwing Muses, consisting of Kristin Hersh, David Narcizo and Bernard Georges, release their tenth studio album ‘Sun Racket’ on 22nd May via Fire Records.
 
The follow up to 2013’s ‘Purgatory/Paradise’ is an outpouring of modal guitars, reverbed shapes, pounding drums and driving bass set behind Kristin Hersh’s well-thumbed notebook of storylines and haunting vocals that get into your psyche.
 
A ten-song opus of suitably wrought tales set against a wall of sound that’s at once calm and ethereal before building into glorious cacophonous crescendos.
 
Drummer, David Narcizo: “Sun Racket has always been geographical... a transplanted southerner in New England crash landing in California. A West Coast sound at New England scale, dragged back down to the south where the elements got more aggressive but now with deeper roots.”
 
When they made their last album a few years back, they were shattered. Pieces were coming and going, elements repeating and charging the whole. “It sounded beautiful jumping around like that.” Two-minute songs reappearing as twisted instrumentals or another song’s bridge. They mimicked the effect live which kept them on their toes. Whatever was happening was already over in other words.
 
‘Sun Racket’ is the opposite. It refused to do anything but sit still. It says, “sit here and deal.”
 
“All it asked of us was to commingle two completely disparate sonic vocabularies: one heavy noise, the other delicate music box. Turns out we didn’t have to do much. Sun Racket knew what it was doing and pushed us aside, which is always best. After thirty years of playing together, we trust each other implicitly but we trust the music more” - Kristin Hersh
 
Hersh’s songwriting is like a poison pen letter revealing terrible secrets.
 
“I don’t regret a single drop of alcohol” ‘Milk at McDonald’s’ admits. This is tell-all phone-in radio, these are everyday stories, the puzzles of life.
 
“The devil has no soul” closing cut, the mysterious ‘Sue’s’ explains.
 
And so, they continue. Business unusual.
