And now to speak about modern apps, cloud and port works. Please welcome our chief product officer a sing see but you when you Yeah, things I should thank you Amy and Coz so throughout this event, you've heard us talk about innovation and our drive to create a portfolio designed to solve some of the biggest
00:39
storage and data problems you are facing today will face in the future. I'm here to talk more about that future Amy and just called Amy and call just shared with you our density road map, a key driver in D ID disk is done. We've also shared with you our cloud operating model.
01:07
But what do we really mean by that? And how do we leverage our powerful software to make data movement between on premises and in the cloud? More seamless. It means a world of contrast from rigid to flexible, from manual to highly automated, never needing to be over provisioned and from
01:35
disparate to unify. The first pillar of the cloud operating model is about unlocking flexibility and speed in how infrastructure services are configured and used and being able to quickly start and dynamically adjust to change the second pillar of the cloud operating model is change change management model where automation is a first class
02:07
citizen management has traditionally been highly manual and reliant on knowing exactly what do you need and which knobs to turn. And lastly, the last pillar or third pillar of the cloud operating model is how you consume and pay for storage. You want more freedom in paying for what you use and you're no longer asked to
02:36
predict and pre buy or over buy for what you think you will need at some future state. And by no coincidence, the pure storage portfolio is aligned with the cloud operating model to enable our customers to consume like a cloud run like a cloud and build for the cloud. Now, let's talk about how customers can consume like a cloud.
03:06
Here, it requires having a service delivery mentality. Most people think that is Capex versus Opex or having a subscription. And while that is an important factor, the real heart of delivering a service is about getting a predictable outcome via S L A s with Evergreen one, we deliver five enterprise grade S L A s and have recently expanded to
03:40
offer an optional S L A for ransomware recovery. This is all about creating predictability behind service levels. Beyond that, delivering a service is about transparency understanding the life cycle of all the touch points to ensure consistent service delivery gets better over time here, pure has expanded into service operations, life cycle management
04:12
and has built that capability into pure one, pure differentiates with real S L A s with hard accountability that are in product through our service management, with transparent full service life cycle visibility versus an opaque Capex to Opex repackaging with a lot of professional services as glue and finally to raise the bar on the cloud operating model,
04:44
we can even do better than some of the cloud solutions today where developers have to choose which instance types and trade performance and cost and manage the environment themselves. Here we are talking about expanding into fin ups where financial policy for either performance cost and availability are available and all implementation is abstracted away.
05:13
This is differentiated even beyond the simplicity of the cloud consumption model. Next, you want to run like the cloud and pure cloud block store and pure fusion get you there today. Cloud blocks store provides seamless data mobility with simple efficient replication from on premises to cloud or from cloud to cloud tomorrow.
05:47
We will be making data mobility invisible by leveraging the same purity software on premises and in the cloud that way you keep control of your destiny by keeping control of your data over time. And now to pure fusion fusion brings the simplicity of a new cloud operating model allowing end users on demand storage consumption on premises and in the
06:20
cloud. While automating all the back end provisioning, we're expanding the data protection feature of fusion offering customers the ability to define replication and retention policies. End users can simply apply these policies to their data sets and perform self service restores.
06:43
We are also working to include more of the pure product family into pure fusion allowing the provisioning of file and object services across flash blade flash array in the same object model, taking performance density and data availability into account. And lastly to build for the cloud customers want to take advantage of all the opportunities that cloud native can bring to them.
07:19
Works have been a leader in cloud native story for years and what they deliver can help you use containers and CUBA and deliver data management, data protection and data services for modern applications and get them to production and scale quickly. Think of port works as your data partner for containers and Cuba. Now to hear directly from someone innovating with cloud native applications to drive the
07:54
business forward. Let's hear from a port works customer senior vice president of platform and reliability Johnson's Control International Sash motiur. But first take a look, what defines a space or place? Is it stone or steel or walls? Is it how it makes us feel or is there something beyond Johnson
08:24
controls in collaboration with our customers and partners is leading a fundamental transformation of how spaces and places are perceived and enjoyed. This transformation is taking us beyond buildings now spaces have memory and identity. They become like ecosystems, balancing and responding to the flow of information services and people. A physical location becomes a kind of stage for
08:53
digital amenities and learning opportunities. This is how a space comes alive. It's not only about adding intelligence, it's about creating new relationships, new harmonies between people and spaces, applying data from both inside buildings and beyond. Our customers can now manage operations
09:14
systemically improving sustainability. This is how value keeps building spaces and places are opening up to new possibilities. This transformation has a name, open blue, a dynamic new space from Johnson controls. Welcome.
09:40
Sash, super excited to have you here with us on main stage at Accelerate. Thank you. And good morning, everyone. My Johnson's control is a huge multinational organization with over 100,000 employees in more than 150 countries.
10:02
I'm sure almost everybody in the audience has heard about G C I. But perhaps if you could share a bit about the history of Johnson controls the company vision and your role. Yeah. Thank you. Uh I think I think here has a really unique history and uh I know probably some of you have read about it. Uh Warren Johnson, uh he's from Whitewater
10:26
Wisconsin small town. Uh He's an innovator inventor. 18 83 he had a patent for thermostat and then he said, OK, I'm not going to build a company in a small town. He moved to Milwaukee and he found a couple of good investors and then they founded the company in 18 85. So in 18 85 we had the first thermostat that
10:49
was, you know, invented by Johnson or Johnson. And we started as a, a controls company. You know, that's what thermostats do, isn't it? But today we are in security fire solutions, smart home, uh access solutions, anything that you see in a building, uh we manufacture and our goal is to really make sure not only manufacture but also connect
11:15
them and leverage them. And this is where you guys hear the term open blue and that's why I'm wearing a blue jacket today so that you guys know um uh there's a connection and how you guys are all orange, you know, you know, nobody gave me something orange. So, so that's, that's on you guys. So that's on you guys.
11:32
So, but, but uh so I just joined Johnson Controls two years ago and is on this initiative of Open Blue and Open Blue is a digital arm of Johnson Controls and the idea of Open blue, I'll just talk a little bit about it uh in a, in a little bit. But why did I join J C I, I joined J C I two years ago to lead platform engineering S R E reliability engineering.
11:59
Uh And then, you know, the devs and customer support and whatnot. But recently three months ago, I also have this responsibility of delivering the solution to our customers. So I'm in a very unique position where I get blamed from my internal customers, which is our engineers and I'm also getting blame from my external customers because I'm dealing.
12:22
I was just kidding. I get kudos guys. Come on, nobody blames nobody blames sh Yeah. Yeah, thank you for that. So we saw the brief introduction to Open Blue in the video. Can you tell us a little bit more about it? How does J C I conceive the idea and how does this technology and data bring it to life?
12:42
So I I think uh as you guys know, I O T is pretty big for the last 10, 15, 20 years and, and everybody is talking about data, data is gold. Data is gold and what Johnson controls did not do like five or seven years ago or even three years ago for that matter, we have all these assets. If you take this building,
13:00
we definitely have assets. Uh Johnson control assets. Um We have not connected the assets and we are not collecting the data. So the idea of Open Blue is to connect to every asset that's out there globally and collect the data and use the data to really, we are going after multiple outcomes, but there are three outcomes that we are really focused on.
13:23
The first one is sustainability and, and you all know today, every board meeting CEO and politically that's being discussed about in our carbon footprint. So our goal, if you mean just from a numbers perspective, 40% of carbon emissions come from buildings. So our job, you know, as a good, you know, as a good company to our customers and to really our future customers,
13:49
we want to make sure that we really tackle the energy crisis, the energy spend, meet their carbon carbon reduction program as well as net zero. That's on sustainability. The second thing that we are focused on is the assets itself. So Johnson has been in business for 1 35 years and you know, some of them have these assets 40 years ago or 50 years old.
14:13
So what we are trying to do is by connecting to that asset, we just want to make sure that they're getting the reduction in energy that they are supposed to get. The asset itself is compliant and then the asset is, you know, safe and secure, you know. So I think that's the second outcome that we are focusing on. The third outcome is pretty unique.
14:33
It really happened because of COVID. So during COVID, you know, everybody say, hey, two people, you cannot be in the building at three. So we developed a uh a cool application, multiple of them actually. And the idea behind it is we can tell you can, hey, in this room, there's like 400 people and it should not have more than,
14:51
you know, 200 because the air quality is not good in this room because there's 400 people and there's a lot of people had too many drinks yesterday night and it's not good, you know, for our, so we can really give ideas and create this health, these spaces and our focus from a vertical is healthcare right now, health care, uh higher education, but health care, this healthy buildings is what we are
15:12
trying to focus on. So, but we have other use cases. I just would like to touch on those things given the time that we have so amazing. And your team is responsible for digital delivery and operations. How does port work fit into your strategy? So two years ago, when I really started this journey, I'm a big believer in foundation.
15:30
So I really don't like to throw buzzwords. I always try to focus on. So what do I need to really build? What, what is the vision of uh you know, us as an organization vision of Open blue and what is that we need to deliver to our customers? So as part of the process, we identified, we know what we, where we want to go. So we want to be cloud agnostic,
15:51
we want to be multi cloud. So today we are running um Aws Azure GCP and Alibaba. And so we know those are the targets that we have to hit. And we also made an architecture decision that everything should run in containers. So we are approximately 13,500 containers right now. So it's a, it's a lot of workload as you were
16:12
talking about earlier. And that's where port works came into picture strategically because I think the port works is the leader when it comes to, you know, managing workloads in cities and we pick port works for that reason. And then there's one other big reason we put port works is we promised to our board as well as to our customers that we will be combined.
16:35
So as part of that, we have to really have this H AD R solution I know and port works help us to really create a fantastic uh D R solution as well as A H A solution. And and because one great thing about port works is we can move workloads in in real time, you're not even talking about our in real time. So strategically, that's why we picked. So yeah, you mentioned multi cloud.
16:58
So how does port works help you on the multi cloud quest in your team? So it's all about data at the end of the day, isn't it? We talked about data, securing your data, moving your data, accessing your data. So port works helps us to really manage your workloads between clouds. And then also from a deployment perspective,
17:14
OK. We developed our platform is called as Polar, OK. And Polaris touches three major pieces, the infrastructure and the software should be common at C I CD. And then the third piece is observable. So port works is running in all these in this polar platform port works is the backbone
17:36
and we use to migrate workloads at the same time for our deployment, we use for pre validation, we really copy the data validate everything and then just, you know, rename the cluster validate and then move it. So it's really and then there's three other use cases we're looking into it but it, I can, I can speak a lot about, you know, what it does technically.
17:56
But yeah, give, give the time, you know, so maybe, you know, what is the future of Open Blue and a few words on that. So there, so there's like, you know, we talk about um lot of cyber threat right now is that in today, even we talk a lot about A I but even with the A I people concerned about what's really going to happen from a security standpoint and there's a lot of focus on cyber.
18:19
So we, when we built our Polaris platform to run Open Blue, we security was our prime focus. So we were really looking into how can we, if there's an incident that happened? Say right now, how can I really go back five minutes or 10 minutes after a snapshot and use that snapshot to really figure out what, what is, you know, how do I compare it?
18:40
What's the difference? So we use sport works for that. We are planning to use. And then the other big thing is we are global. We have 1100 offices across the globe. We are deploying in all regions right now. Right now, we are working in Saudi Australia, Canada and there's three more. So we got to grow and we have a growth plan until 2027.
19:03
And I think port works is going to be a key player and you guys are going to grow with us. So awesome. It's so interesting to hear how Johnson controlled has evolved over the last 140 years. We are really proud to be part of the team helping Johnson control on the quest. So thank you for being here and being such a valued customer.
19:23
We are also thrilled to announce that J C I this year is the cloud champion breakthrough award winner. Let's hear more, right? Thank you. Smart, safe and sustainable. That's been the mantra for Johnson controls since its founding in 18 85. Today, it offers the world's largest portfolio
19:49
of connected building technologies, transforming the spaces where people live, work, learn and play with a multi cloud strategy including court works. Johnson controls is ushering customers into a new era of autonomous buildings that are more intelligent and energy efficient than ever before. From application development to data recovery, Johnson controls is bringing consistency and
20:12
reliability to its cloud environment to deliver advanced building services like data driven safety systems and features like touchless data access because modern buildings are more than a collection of materials and HVAC systems. They're an environment where people can thrive. Congratulations to Johnson Controls on being named the 2023 cloud champion or redefining the blueprint of building design.
20:39
Congratulations to JJ C I and thank you so much for coming here. I really appreciate it. Thanks for having me. Thank you.
