Meena Gowdar, Microsoft & Matt McSpirit, Dell Technologies | Microsoft Ignite 2025

Описание: In this interview from Microsoft Ignite, Meena Gowdar from Microsoft and Matt McSpirit from Dell Technologies join theCUBE’s Rob Strechay to discuss the strategic shift toward reimagining private cloud infrastructure. The conversation focuses on the "Adaptive Cloud" concept, exploring how organizations are extending Azure’s core principles – security, sovereignty and consistent operations – directly into their own data centers. Gowdar and McSpirit examine the growing demand for sovereign private clouds, detailing how enterprises can achieve public cloud agility while maintaining strict control over data residency and regulatory compliance.

The discussion highlights major announcements, including the general availability of Microsoft 365 Local and the integration of Dell PowerStore for external storage support on Azure Local. McSpirit outlines how Dell Private Cloud provides full-stack lifecycle management and independent scaling to optimize costs and performance. The trio also explores the deployment of AI-ready infrastructure, featuring the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 GPU on Dell platforms, and offers advice on building flexible environments that support both legacy applications and modern, cloud-native workloads without operational disruption.
