DataQuest
|November 2019
At the recently held Dell Technologies Summit in Austin, USA, there were a lot of interesting discussions, ranging from how 5G will transform industries, to, building an autonomous future, IT and power of compute in the next decade, and so on
5G Will Transform Industries
Jen Felch, CIO and Chief Digital Officer, Dell Technologies, and Shekar Ayyar, Executive VP, Strategy and Corporate Development & GM, Telco NFV Group, VMWare, were involved in a discussion around 5G and how it can transform industries.
Ayyar said that 5G will transform the industry. In fact, with the radio infrastructure disaggregation, 5G will help industries transform themselves. Felch added that the opportunities for social impact are enormous. They will help extend the reach. 5G and IoT will help achieve these.
Ayyar added that 5G will enable a number of new edge clouds. There needs to be consistent and cohesive management of private, public, telco clouds, etc. Felch agreed, stating that Dell is preparing for all of this. The ramp is going to be steep. There will be further opportunities to analyze these. The corporate is also looking at our network and deploying SD-WAN. Like, our customers and a legacy of infrastructure. We also get to use great technologies developed at Dell.
Building An Autonomous Future
John Roese, President and CTO, Products & Operations, Dell Technologies, noted that the future is where data will flow across various systems. AI-powered experiences are going to make our lives better. We are going to need a stronger application revolution to unlock the new data era. We are also going to see a lot of automation.
Cars will be the first zeta scale private infrastructures of the world. We have the data. We work with global companies. There should be 40 million autonomous vehicles around, and will probably need 7zB of data. We realize that compute, storage, etc., should become cheaper. There will be 1 million storage admins. We are seeing all of this in 5G, infrastructure, healthcare, etc.

With companies evaluating their software stacks due to changing business priorities, inflation, and the potential of generative AI, the central question is whether the future of SaaS will reside in all-in-one giants or in a colourful ecosystem of specialised, modular offerings.
