A rock band is performing and the singer sees a kid with a banner asking to play guitar with them. The singer asks him:

- Do you really know how to play guitar?
- Yeah!
- What's your favorite band?
- Guns N' Roses

What happens next is incredible.

@QuadStack @Oracle @holgermu @OmdiaHQ Good to see you Bill did not recognise you without the cowboy hat

Day 1 @Oracle #CloudWorld! I attended the #Oracle Analyst Forum for some cool updates. The work that Oracle is doing with #GenerativeAI is inspiring. More about it this week. CEO, Safra Catz shared how we are truly of the “Information Age!” #OCW @holgermu @OmdiaHQ @royillsley

@AndiMann Well I have not been here since May, so I can cope with that frequency

[roy illsley @royillsley]

Landed in Vegas and getting ready for Oracle Cloud World.

[roy illsley @royillsley]

Not on a bridge at LHR T3 for flight to Vegas, so mad dash time

On way to Oracle Cloud World, this moron thinks barging in is acceptable

@Omdia_Cloud @OmdiaHQ HCI being the technology for edge and digital sovereignty will require a new HCI generation to ensure these two different use cases can be servered. In turn this will see new HCI vendors appear on orgs radar. My market disruptors report will cover this

@Omdia_Cloud @OmdiaHQ Is VDI a technology that is still relevant, well that depends on if you think the concept of a desktop operating system is still needed. Lets be honest, most people do not have apps installed on the desktop, the apps are cloud-based

@Omdia_Cloud @OmdiaHQ Who does FinOps team report into, 50% say CIO, 35% say CFO, with 15% to other. My view is that it should be the same team that is managing the ESG, so the key decisions can be made based on a big picture perspective if these are seperate they are suboptimal

@Omdia_Cloud @OmdiaHQ The rise of edge computing has seen the management and orchestration of the edge become a topic of interest. Existing management tools and processes have been used to manage edge, but orgs are finding edge has some specific management capabilities it needs

@Omdia_Cloud @OmdiaHQ The as-a-service on-premises is a relatively new offering, but it already accounts for 11% of all on-premises workloads, and 26% of organizations state they are using this offering. The question is which vendor is leading the market, more available in Sept

[roy illsley @royillsley]

@Omdia_Cloud @OmdiaHQ an interesting piece of insight from analysis of our latest global end-user survey. The top 5 cloud providers change position depending if the question is spend or workload count related. This report will be available in Sept and will provide more insights

[roy illsley @royillsley]

@Omdia_Cloud @OmdiaHQ My current research topic is the software infrastructure market forecast, this will be published in late Aug. Not giving too much away when i say Database's are the largest market, but container management and orchestration is the fastest growing

[roy illsley @royillsley]

@Omdia_Cloud @OmdiaHQ Another piece of new research is with outr editorial team, Soveriegn cloud, this report looks at wht a sovereign cloud is, and how 8 leading vendors have addressed the challenges. Top take away is sovereign cloud is a risk analysis not an absolute
