This week on the Structure Show we examine why Intel is pushing hard to slap its brand on all the major clouds – perhaps proving that the cloud now really is the server complete with an Intel Inside sticker. But we’re also blown away by Google’s bold $3.2 billion internet-of-things acquisition of NEST, the intelligent home thermostat.
And our guest, Hugh E. Williams, Pivotal’s brand new senior vice president of R&D, talks about what problems the EMC-VMware spinoff is attacking–with a little help from its buddies GE and IBM. And why Pivotal’s work really matters to the manufacturing, distribution and transport companies that make and deliver our physical goods.
