Techzine TV podcast
In the Techzine TV podcast we analyze B2B IT solutions, strategies, and trends. IT companies are happy to invite us to talk about what they are working on and what they are going to bring to market. We visit them all around the world, and in some cases, they visit us in our office.
We have a good understanding of how technologies work, or how they should work. We also hear a lot from the market about what companies need or where things go wrong. This gives us the ability to have really in-depth conversations on technology, strategies, and products, but we always try to keep it practical and easy to understand.
We explain innovations, interpret new IT concepts, and use practical examples to make complex technology understandable for everyone. Where necessary, we bring in experts to clarify matters further. The goal is to help IT professionals, decision makers, and other listeners better understand IT developments, but also to help them in their search for new solutions for their business and not get stuck on buzzwords and one-liners.
The Techzine TV podcast is an evolution of the previous Techzine Talks on Tour series. We still bring a lot of conversations and interviews from events to this series. We record so many video interviews nowadays, so we can select the best ones for this podcast series.
The topics still vary greatly, as Coen and Sander attend a total of 50 to 60 events each year, ranging from open-source events like KubeCon to events hosted by Cisco, IBM, Salesforce and ServiceNow, to name only a few. With a lot of experience in many walks of IT life, Coen and Sander always manage to produce an engaging, in-depth discussion on general trends, but also on technology itself.
So follow the Techzine TV podcast and stay in the know. We might just tell you a thing or two you didn't know yet, but which might be very important for your next project or for your organization in general. Stay tuned and follow Techzine TV.

"Not all clouds are created equal" in the AI era: how is OCI different?
Richard Smith, EVP and GM EMEA Cloud Infrastructure at Oracle, sits down with us during Oracle AI World to discuss the company's strategic move to go all-in on AI. Not only the name of its flagship event has changed from Cloud World to AI World, it is much more fundamental.
Our conversation covers, among other things, Oracle's AI data platform. One of the goals of this platform is to allow customers to use their own data for AI workloads without moving it. With data data sovereignty and security front and center nowadays, this is an important feature of Oracle's approach.
The conversation meanders from high-level strategic to rather fine-grained and specific. On the one hand we talk about the importance of database vectorization in the latest version of the Oracle database and about how Oracle handles scale-across workloads. On the other, we ask Smith questions about Oracle's massive infrastructure investments, including the Abilene data center project and Stargate initiatives, but also European sovereignty concerns, DORA compliance. Oracle being a key player in the 'AI bubble' discussion that is going on at the moment, we don't shy away from that discussion either.
