The forces providing the fuel for the changes in our
technology and economic landscape

3. The Road Ahead ……..
1995: Personal computing to a global
super information superhighway
2010 - 2017: Internet everywhere, virtual machines,
cloud computing, and changing computing paradigms,
2017

With the Internet
Change is happening at an ever increasing rate

5. Software is
changing the world
Bits move faster
than atoms

6. GitHub: 35 Million Projects,14 Million Users

7. From Physical Infrastructure to the Cloud
Instant, self-provisioning, dynamic allocation of resources
Physical Domain Virtual Domain

8. Age of Software Defined Data Centers…
Agility
Faster Time
to Market
Lower Cost
Automation
through software
Open Systems
investment
Avoids lock-in
Services
That span both
public and private
deployments

9. Configuration and Cabling Becomes Code
submodule execd-routes {
import inet-types { prefix inet; }
include execd-types;
description
“providesfor configuring static routes
(IPv4 and IPv6).
grouping routes {
container inet {
list route {
key "name prefix-length";
leaf name {
type inet:ipv4-address;
}
leaf prefix-length {
type prefixLengthIPv4;
}
leaf enabled {
type boolean;
default true;
}
Automation and declarative models replace manual procedures

10. Open Source Is Where “Standard” Cloud
Infrastructure Will Be Defined

11. Customers favor
open, modular
architectures
Open solutions
provide agility
and reduce cost
Open source
platforms drive
standarization
Business Reasons for Open Source
What does this mean to be a software company…

12. Cloud Computing Today:
Not Public vs Private but services across both
81%
Evaluating or using
public cloud
73%
Have a
hybrid cloud strategy

Some Are Benefiting; Few Are Maximizing Value. September 2016
84%
Will use
multiple clouds

18. From hobbyist interest to commercial application in
record time
Kickstarter and other ways to finance new ideas

19. “Know how” knows no boundaries

Technology Park

22. The long AI winter is finally over

23. AlphaGo improved
in the final days by
playing games
against itself

24. DYI and Learn by doing….

25. Jobs and online training complete a virtuous cycle

26. “Serverless”, function-as-a-service paradigms connect
services across multiple clouds – Amazon Lambda…
“Alexa, ask my
assistant to
see when I can
go to the gym”
“3pm on
Thursday would
work”
Amazon Echo

Gmail and
Calendar API

27. OpenStack Cloud Computing Software
• Freely available, open source
software allowing anyone to build
their own private or public clouds.
• Built by a growing community of over
400 companies, including most of the
major IT companies
• Open source and open APIs allows
the customer to avoid being locked in
to a single vendor, while creating
opportunities for vendors to develop
their own solutions and services

28. Software – built in the open, with an online community

29. Mature Set of
Cloud Services

30. An Expanding
Set of Projects
