About the Content

Over the past year, COVID-19 has shined a spotlight on how organizations work, develop products, and serve customers. The need for digital leadership has never been clearer, or more important. 

And yet, innovating at “hyperscaler” speed has been the domain of only a few companies.  Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Apple and Facebook are increasingly distinguished by their ability to deploy their technology opinions across all layers of the stack, and at global scale. As technology advantage increasingly translates to business advantage, how can enterprises and startups alike keep pace? 

New challenges tend to inspire new solutions, and this is no exception: an ecosystem that includes silicon, supply chains, OEM’s, data centers and open-source has aligned to help digital businesses move infrastructure at software speed. Increasingly, more businesses can get what they need, where they need it, when they need it.

“People who are really serious about software should make their own hardware.”

– Alan Kay (1982)

“It’s an exciting time for boring infrastructure.”

– Tim Hockin (2017)

Discussion Topics

  • How are leading organizations using infrastructure to drive greater value?
  • The advantages of wrapping hardware around software (instead of the other way around).
  • The challenges companies face when trying to innovate “down the stack.”
  • What kind of new models are being developed in response to these challenges?
  • The value of ecosystems, and the benefits of interconnecting. 
  • The changing definition of IaaS.
