Ryan Peterson, chief solutions strategist EMC, also joined theCUBE to discuss how customers need to rethink their data plan to take advantage of the latest technology.

“Customers want to know where to move their data so that it’s future-proof and accessible,” he said. “If you move your data into a tool set, then you’ve locked your data into that tool set. The future of the data lake is about keeping that data in raw form and making it accessible to any tool set. Ultimately, customers can abstract that value up into Cloud Foundry where I can build any app against that data.”

 Customers should also be aware of the shift from gathering data to building applications.“Application providers are offering new capabilities that you can just buy, as opposed to having to build manually,” said Peterson. “That shift to app development and to automated apps is the future in my perspective.”
