Our panel at the Open Compute Summit: Bringing integrated design, mass production and learning by doing to the data center industry
Last week I moderated a panel at the Open Compute Summit V in San Jose that focused on bringing integrated design, mass production and learning by doing to the data center industry. The great irony is that information technology (IT) has had amazing success at transforming other industries, reducing costs and increasing the speed of innovation, but most enterprise IT is still provisioned using archaic rules of thumb and decades old institutional arrangements. The panel explores potential solutions to that problem. My fellow panelists were Jim Stogdill at O'Reilly, Kushagra Vaid of Microsoft, and Sherman Ikemoto of Future Facilities.
