Transcripts
okay decentralized storage is what I somebody told me I'm supposed to talk about okay so we'll talk
but I'll tell you what I do first um I used to run Advanced Technologies for Oracle Cloud
infrastructure so that means anything that we do in artificial intelligence machine learning
high performance Computing blockchain distributor Ledger and Quantum simulation that used to be my
business and then I launched my business as a separate company as an article partner company
uh and we still do the same thing so we are in the attracting advanced technology companies and
helping them understand how to work with Oracle Cloud infrastructure and more importantly how
to allow a very large inner price to lean in and help the company succeed right I think
whenever you're going to do business with a large enough price often startup companies early stage
companies don't ask the right question the first question is not what infrastructure is right for
me first question is how can you help me with my my business you're running a much bus bigger
business you're running a global business I'm doing the specific thing I'm 3 months old how
can you help me with my business should be the first question and most companies don't
ask that right so we help early stage companies correctly ask those questions and get support from
very large enterprices you're working with any hypers skill if you're an AWS Microsoft Google
Oracle ask that as your first question how are you going to help me with with my business right
and we help them do that now there's been a lot of discussion about blockchain Technologies and
blockchain architecture Etc somewhat some gentl I think it was gentleman from flux who said that
you know unless we go all the way down to the infrastructure layer we are lying to ourselves
that's absolutely true right think about election systems and a lot of the amount of the election
the Constitution requires elections to be run with local control right but a large amount of
question applications running on AWS is that local control what if that tendency goes down just when
you're ready get going to ready uh ready to cast your ballot right decentralized infrastructure
decentralized storage is very important there are some complex problems to solve there so we are
doing two things first of all we in with the GBA we were introduced to a project in um Lancaster
South Carolina where we are starting to build um data set technology uh for Advanced Technologies
um uh artificial intelligence machine learning etc etc for the Indian tribes the very first time
the Indian Tri for the Indian tribes to have their own dedicated and Sovereign infrastructure so they
can get all the way down to infrastructure we're starting to do that for the states so states can
have Sovereign infrastructure um decentralization that way is very important so the states want to
run their election process process their um local government processes down the way to the counties
currently the federal government is the only one that has their own cloud right the G Cloud feder
Ram everybody the cloud business knows that why not the Indian tribes why not States you should
ask that question right aren we supposed to be a federal system why is it broken in infrastructure
shouldn't be broken in infrastructure right so we are fixing that so that these um Solutions can
correctly come down to the infrastructure layer and storage is one aspect of it if that's what I'm
supposed to talk about storage is a big aspect of it as when it comes to distributed Ledger
technology is All About Storage or artificial intelligence machine learning Federated machine
learning is very important we can't just say that send everything to open AI send everything to
Azure but like the bore from Star Trek telling you resistance is futile you come to me for
intelligence right that's what they're doing and shouldn't be acceptable to anybody so fed
ated machine learning is very important and therefore decentralized Storage Solutions all
if it doesn't go down to the infrastructure level somebody selling you a decentralized application
ask them where are you running is it 80% of my application runs on AWS I'm sorry you're
liying to yourself you're liying to everybody else because they can shut you down right so
getting down to decentralized infrastructure is very very important had 8 minutes but tell me
if you had any questions any anyone wants to say any any startup founder over here was less than
one year in their new job anybody here startup founder are you working with a hyperscaler okay
um but if you are scaling up if you if you have a product and you're we don't do much for napkin
stage companies but if you're in the prescale if you have a product working and your ready to
scale please reach out to us stem practice. is my company we are an oracle partner and we help you
use the mighty power of a global corporation like that to to correctly scale up right so that's what
that's what we do any other questions any other comments okay if you want to take one thing from
me any decentralized application you run to ask them what their infrastructure architecture is
and if they're telling you they're running on cloud tell them they're not decentralized okay
it's not an opinion it's a fact that that's a lie right I'm just saying if it is a blockchain as a
service and it's running on AWS it's running on 33 distributed regions maybe but it's only running on
your particular region that you lived in that how is it a blockchain how is it a blockchain I'm not
only talking about AWS IBM hyperledger fabric Oracle blockchain as a service right for all of
them you should ask the same question get down to in in the infrastructure layer if it's not
decentralized I'm sorry it is not a blockchain service I would say we have a long way to go so
let's not let's stop lying to ourselves that's that's what I would say right it's if says we
are running on three nodes and then this this thing about anchor institutions we have three
anchor institutions I'm sorry you know what is the anchor institution National Association of
Realtors was an anchor institution now they've been sued left and right the Department of
Justice wants to shut them down suddenly is it an anchor institution anchor institutions disappear
MCI Cedar Rapids Iowa was that an Anor institution was a very large Telecom company right there's no
such thing right get down to ask that question about infrastructure if that doesn't pass the
blockchain test you're not a blockchain solution that's why we need the programs like what CL was
talking about where there is a layer that that gives you the slas that you need and then manages
the the the randomness of the uh infrastructure below it it's not a simple problem to solve but
it is the correct way to solve if you need decentralization right and you can get the
SLS you need all of these different protocols and the algorithms running in the platform layer and
in the operating system layer because it's a much more complex thing to do it's a complex
processor scheduling algorithm that's what it is right but if you do that then you can have
uh decentralized um true de decentralized architecture that can be managed in the Geo
fencing of infrastructure addresses lot lots of different ways to manage that full encryption
right full encryption irreversible encryption in many way you have I'm making a very simple point
is that if you go somebody says that I have 60,000 Nots running and 80% of the 60,000 RS
are running as virtual machines one single core virtual machines on AWS within three regions I'm
sorry you're not decentralized Google took down a tency by accident and killed a large
pension fund company in Australia right they just made a mistake right and that's because
of why because it was all was it across multiple regions Google maybe but it was a mistaken tency
that they took took it down right that is because that it was not decentralized down
to the infrastructure layer right that's all it is I I don't know what you what your analogy to
Quantum Computing is but we can talk about that more but that's my simple Point than
