Did you know that over 3 billion people play video games? That's nearly 50% of the world's population! And if you've ever played a video game (which, statistically, you have), you've probably played something that was built using Perforce, which is *the* source code versioning software that nearly all the major game developers use. With the increase of online gaming and global distribution of game studios, the cloud is becoming a critical component in game development and delivery. As a result, cloud service providers are offering "as a service" products for applications like Perforce, Unreal Engine and more. Ravi Prakash joins us this week to discuss Perforce and how NetApp ONTAP is enhancing the cloud experience for game developers on-prem and in the cloud.

If you've ever worked an IT support job and had to do on-call rotations, you probably know how noisy things can get with alerts and events - especially when they get sent to your phone or work device. I can recall rolling out of bed at 3AM to the sound of alerts on my phone, only to realize that most of the alarms were either false positives or things that were not high urgency. That gets old fast, and you start to tune the alerts out. Naturally, that's when the big outage happens and your boss wonders why you didn't respond quickly enough. That gets even more complicated when you are dealing with infrastructure that you don't even own - such as the cloud. Good luck tracking down where the problem is in your environment or where a potential security vulnerability might be hiding out. It's like finding a needle in a haystack. NetApp Spot Security aims to simplify your cloud security monitoring by providing a single interface to monitor multiple clouds, notify you of potential misconfiguration issues that might lead to breaches, filter out noisy events so that you only get the important alerts, and much more. Spot Security PM Isma Rizvi joins us to tell us all about what's new with Spot Security in the Spring 2023 release!

Did you know that Google created Tensorflow and Kubernetes? Or that Solaris invented NFS? That Amazon created S3? Or that Uber created Apache Spark Horovod? Some of the key technologies that companies use today were originally created by businesses trying to solve their own internal challenges. In this episode of the Tech ONTAP Podcast, NetApp TME Rick Huang and Solutions Architect Ken Hillier join us to discuss Rick's new blog on using NetApp AI with Apache Spark Horovod for deep learning and inference use cases.

Before the war in Ukraine started, a rash of cybersecurity incidents started to crop up - particularly in the Ukrainian financial sector and against government websites. This created a substantial amount of chaos with the day to day operations in Ukraine, and a week later, Russia invaded. In the wake of these and other cyber attacks against critical infrastructure across the globe, countries are starting to realize that data security is a vital part of national security. This week on the podcast, NetApp's Adam Gale joins us to discuss a new set of regulations around cyber security, data protection and more called the Digital Operational Resiliency Act (DORA).

What's in a name? When people say the words "cyber resiliency," what do you do? Do you cringe at the buzzy-ness of the term? Do you pause and think, "do we have yet another term to worry about?" Or, do you realize that cyber resiliency is just a way to describe all the best practices we need to use when ensuring data protection, security and recovery in our enterprise IT environments. In this case, buzzy-ness is just business. In this episode, AJ Casamento of Brocade and Ant Tyrell of NetApp join us to discuss how NetApp and Brocade are teaming up to help you get the best overall results for your cyber resiliency plans.

When I was a kid, my room was often a mess. Clothes on the floor, toys everywhere. My mom would try to stay on me to keep it clean, but it was mostly a losing battle for her. What usually inspired me to clean up, however, was when I couldn't find something. Then I knew it was time to take inventory and get a bit more organized (for the time being, at least). Data management isn't much different - especially with large unstructured data lakes. Not only are there potentially millions - or billions - of files, but much of that data is redundant, unnecessary or obsolete. The problem is, if you haven't been keeping your data sets clean, you are now stuck with the arduous task of finding out what is in your data. This week on the podcast, Cecile Kellam and Michael Landau join me to discuss how Cloud Data Sense can quickly and easily help you find out what is in your data, with the end goal of tidying up your messy data sets.
