Big Data Beard

It's Day 4 of our #RoadTrip2conf!  In our journey so far, we have traveled across 9 states and have had some excellent conversations.  For the podcast today, Kevin Steeprow and Ramon Taylor join Cory and Kyle for round 2.  Kevin and Ramon provide a deeper look into the tools and technologies that customers are using to solve their analytics challenges and further their AI capabilities.

We are just outside Washington DC on day 2 of the #RoadTrip2Conf. Join us as Brett and Cory sit down with Navy veteran and Splunk's Public Sector Chief Technical Advisor, Juliana Vida. Juliana shares insights from her career as a naval officer turned technologist. She also provides advice for military personnel wanting to broaden their career in IT. Then we dive in on the power of data and how its helping transform experiences from higher education to military intelligence.

It's day 2 of our #RoadTrip2conf and today we are in Washington D.C meeting with Red River Technology (https://www.redriver.com/).  In today's podcast Cory (https://twitter.com/Cory_Minton?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor)and Kyle (https://twitter.com/KylePrins?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor)sit down with Kevin Steeprow (https://www.redriver.com/industry-news/podcast-4-for-4-with-kevin-steeprow), VP of Design Engineering and Ramon Thomas (https://www.linkedin.com/in/ramon-thomas-9b0bb329), Design Engineering Manager.  Kevin and Ramon provide a glimpse into how Red River is helping customers make sense of their data and turn insights in actionable intelligence.  

Its finally here! The Big Data Beard team has started its epic Road Trip 2 .conf (https://bigdatabeard.com/road-trip-to-conf-2019/) today.  I can think of no better way to kick off our Road Trip series of podcasts than with Splunk's very own Jeff Champagne (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffchampagne).  In the first episode of season 5, Brett (https://twitter.com/bigdatabrett)and Kyle (https://twitter.com/KylePrins)sit down with Jeff and get his thoughts on how customers are deploying Splunk at scale, deployment trends and the evolution of SplunkNext (https://www.splunk.com/en_us/software/splunk-next.html).

Season four of the Big Data Beard podcast was 36 weeks of episodes following the trends, technology, and talented people making AI, IoT, and Big Data a big deal.  In season five, you're in for something different. This is going to be a very short, but crazy busy season of podcasts from the Big Data Beard.  Starting October 7th, you'll see a new podcast post every day, Monday to Friday until October 18th.  Then you'll see the podcasts we record during Splunk's .conf19 publish each Tuesday following the conference.  And don't forget to check out our YouTube channel for our daily "Breakfast With The Beards" during the Road Trip 2 .conf! You can follow along with all our progress on the Road Trip simply by going to www.BigDataBeard.com and click on Road Trip 2 .conf. Join us on this wild adventure as we uncover the incredible stories of Digital Transformation with Splunk and our sponsors, Dell Technologies, VMware, Red River Technologies, Arrow Electronics, and Converging Data!

Data processing today is based on a “Store then Analyze” architecture born in the big-data era.  Cory (https://twitter.com/cory_minton?lang=en) and Brett (https://twitter.com/BigDataBrett)sit down with SWIM.AI (http://www.swim.ai) CTO Simon Crosby (https://www.linkedin.com/in/sicrosby) to hear about their recently launched DataFabric software is changing how organizations can stream, analyze and store data.  Announced on September 18th,  DataFabric (https://www.swim.ai/product/datafabric/) software lets businesses interconnect all data-generating assets and provides real-time data classification, reduction, analysis and prediction. Simon talks about how this technology allows for an Analyze, Act and then Store architecture rather than the traditional Store then Analyze architectures that are most common.  Simon also talks about SWIM.AI's partnership with Microsoft Azure and its integration into the Azure suite of Data Analytics and AI tools.

Decoupling compute from storage has been a growing trend in the enterprise as organizations turn towards a data driven business.  Cory (https://twitter.com/cory_minton?lang=en) and Erin (https://twitter.com/banksek?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor) sit down with Haoyuan (HY) (https://www.linkedin.com/in/haoyuanli1), Founder and CTO of Alluxio (https://www.alluxio.io/) to talk about the importance in data orchestration and how Alluxio provides customers with the ability to bring data closer to the compute across clusters, regions, clouds and countries.  Created in the same lab as Spark and other widely known open-source technologies, HY talks about the inception of Alluxio and the challenges this data orchestration platform solves.  HY also gives his vision for the future of innovations and how Alluxio enables them most effectively.
