For this episode, John and I are joined by special guest Barton George, Dell Cloud Evangelist. You might remember Barton from the Profilers in Courager series at CloudCampAustin. As you can imagine, we spend most of our time talking about Dell’s current doings in cloud computing:
- Barton tells us what Dell’s been up to in the cloud, for example with Microsoft around Azure.
- John asks Barton about the different issues (or “problems”) that come up in hyper-scale computing: lots of cooling and power issues.
- This reminds me of one of my favorite El Reg pieces on “punk IT” from years ago.
- Barton also discusses how Dell’s SaaS offerings fit into the cloud strategy.
- Some recent Ubuntu news and Barton’s recent interview with Mark Shuttleworth.
- We wrap up talking about how Austin’s changed since John was here last and talk about the new Pokens.
Check out Barton’s show notes as well, more detailed to the Dell items.
Disclosure: Dell is a client, as are Canonical and Microsoft. See the RedMonk client list for other clients mentioned.
