Breaking Analysis with Dave VellanteMoving beyond separation of compute & storage…Journey to the 6th data platformWe believe today’s so-called modern data stack, as currently envisioned, will be challenged by emerging use cases and AI-infused apps that begin to represent the real world, in real time, at massive data scale.

Today’s generally accepted state of the art of separating compute from storage, must evolve in our view to separate compute from data and further enable compute to operate on a unified view of coherent and composable data elements. Moreover, our opinion is t...

Talk CocktailThe Sounds of Silence...Deaf Culture and what it means to hearRemembering the early days of the cell of phone, we all remember, “can you hear me now.” For most of us this was modern nuisance.

This is the world that Lydia Denworth became immersed in with her son Alex. She talks about that experien...
