@Joe Nadeau: #IBM_PowerVS isn't a one-size-fits-all solution—it's a journey. Start small with testing, build confidence by migrating production workloads, then tackle DR and hybrid modernization. The key? Flexibility, efficiency, and IBM's vast ecosystem. The Bottom Line is that PowerVS, transforms hybrid cloud complexity into a competitive advantage. #ROI #IBMPower #hybridcloud #hybrid_by_design #OptimizeTCO https://lnkd.in/gSn9qjHW ​

Hammerspace has officially launched on the Oracle Cloud Marketplace and is now ready for deployment on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Enterprises can leverage the Hammerspace Tier 0 solution to convert their local NVMe storage into high-speed, persistent shared storage within OCI GPU virtual machines. This innovation removes the need for replication and sidesteps delays or compromises. Recent benchmarks on OCI revealed that the Hammerspace Tier 0 solution achieved 2.5 times the read bandwidth, double the write throughput, and reduced latency by 51 percent compared to external networked storage linked to the same client servers on OCI. - Read the full press release: https://okt.to/VyHKhX - Discover our Hammerspace & OCI page: https://okt.to/kdJrUM - Read our solution guide: https://okt.to/MRHYo0 #oraclecloudmarketplace #oraclecloudinfrastructure #OCI #ai #cloud #storage #Tier0 #NVMe #dataorchestration

🚨 Stop managing disparate systems. Start engineering Exadata performance. The gap between a Traditional DBA and a Modern Exadata Strategist is widening every day. If your day is still consumed by manual patching, routine monitoring, and generic toil, your career is vulnerable to automation. The highest-paying roles in the Oracle ecosystem belong to those who master Engineered Systems. It is time to transition from repetitive tasks to high-value, strategic expertise: 🔥 Exadata Architecture Design: Mastering Compute, Storage, and Networking. 🔥 Performance Engineering: Leveraging Smart Scans and Storage Indexes. 🔥 Cloud & Cost Management: Optimizing ExaCS and ExaCC environments. 🔥 Strategic Consolidation: Leading hybrid cloud transformations. Automation isn't replacing DBAs—it is replacing the old way of doing things. You cannot automate deep architectural expertise. The future DBA doesn't compete with automation; they leverage it. Ready to step up from a Keyboard Operator to a System Strategist? 👇 Enroll now in our specialized training and build a future-proof career in data strategy. 🔗 Exadata Masterclass: https://lnkd.in/gS85YVUn 💬 Join WhatsApp Group: https://lnkd.in/gSeECu7E 📞 Questions?

Cloud Presales Architects: Caught in the Perfect Storm The role of the cloud presales architect has never been more critical—or more challenging. We’re operating in an IT landscape that has fundamentally shifted. Hybrid by default. Public and private clouds co-existing. Legacy systems refusing to disappear quietly. At the same time, AI is reshaping expectations at breakneck speed. What worked for the last decade—reference architectures, lift-and-shift narratives, static ROI models—simply won’t work for the next. Software and hardware may be commoditised, but let’s be honest: stack optimisation is anything but simple. Performance, cost, security, resilience, compliance—every decision has trade-offs, and customers expect presales teams to have all the answers upfront. Now layer on today’s business realities: • Self-service is non-negotiable • User experience is a differentiator • SLAs are tighter than ever • IT budgets are shrinking ( quotes are always 30% higher 😉) • Timelines are compressed Yet cloud vendors, GSIs, and IT companies are still expected to deliver the most innovative solutions—often with limited context, incomplete data, and fewer resources. This is no longer just about selling cloud. It’s about advising, simplifying complexity, and co-creating outcomes. Cloud Ops is taking strides towards becoming semi autonomous by leveraging AIops , advanced observability technologies and automation tools and frameworks. Are we truly equipping our presales architects with the tools, platforms, and AI-assisted insights they need to succeed in this new reality? Curious to hear how others are adapting presales for the next decade—not the last one. #Cloud #Presales #GSIs #ITServices #HybridCloud #AI #DigitalTransformation #CloudArchitecture
