What’s really holding enterprises back from scaling cloud, modernizing data, and enabling AI? I sat down with Jeff DeVerter and Ernest Solomon, Field CTOs at Pythian, on The Ravit Show at Google Cloud Next 2025 to unpack that very question.From cloud migration complexities to the real effort behind building modern data platforms — and enabling AI at scale — this conversation was packed with practical insights.And big shoutout to the Pythian team — just named Google Cloud Databases Partner of the Year for North America! 🎉Jeff and Ernest didn’t hold back. Whether you’re just starting your modernization journey or in the middle of it, you’ll want to hear what they had to say.#data #ai #googlecloud #pythian #theravitshow

Just wrapped a 🔥 conversation with my very good friend Logan Kilpatrick from Google DeepMind on The Ravit Show — live from Google Cloud Next '25!We dug into the core mission behind Google AI Studio and the Gemini API — and how Google is empowering developers to build smarter, faster, and more creatively with AI.Logan shared:— Why Gemini models stand out in a crowded LLM market— How Google is reducing developer friction so building with AI feels seamless— Real-world developer use cases that show the power of Gemini in action— How rapid updates are being shaped by direct community feedbackAnd of course — how you can get started with Google AI Studio todayIf you’re building with AI or even just thinking about it… this is a must-watch.Thanks Logan and the Google DeepMind team for an amazing chat on #TheRavitShow!#data #ai #googlecloud #googledeepmind #theravitshow

Hot off the press from Google Cloud Next '25! I caught up with Jeanine Banks, VP & GM of Developer X at Google, on The Ravit Show right after the BIG reveal: Firebase Studio is here!Yes — Firebase Studio just dropped, and it’s about to change how we build apps.Jeanine and I talked about: • How AI is reshaping the way software gets built — from concept to code • Why Firebase Studio was created and what it unlocks for developers • The rise of “vibe coding” — and why this new approach is more than just a trend • How developers can supercharge productivity and creativity by tapping into AIThe energy on the show floor is electric — and announcements like this are why.Big thanks to Jeanine and the Firebase team for sharing this breaking moment with us on #TheRavitShow!#data #ai #googlecloud #theravitshow

I had the pleasure of chatting with Arvind Jain, CEO & Co-Founder of Glean, on The Ravit Show — and what a powerful discussion it was.We dove into what’s real vs. what’s just hype when it comes to AI agents, and how truly intelligent agents are poised to reshape how enterprises operate over the next 5–7 years.We also explored: • How search has always been core to Glean’s mission — and why that foundation enables more context-aware, intelligent AI experiences. • The power of Glean’s connector ecosystem with 100+ SaaS apps — and why breadth of integration really matters in the modern workplace. • Their deep partnership with Google Cloud and how it brings real value to customers. • The barriers to AI adoption in the enterprise — and how Glean is helping to lower them.And of course, I asked Arvind what excites him most about the future of AI at work — his answer? You’ll have to tune in to find out!Big thanks to Arvind and the Glean team for joining me during such an exciting week here at #GoogleNext25.#data #ai #googlecloud #glean #theravitshow

GenAI is evolving fast — and enterprises are feeling the pressure to keep up. That’s why I was excited to sit down with Pankaj Dugar, SVP & GM at AI21 Labs, on The Ravit Show at Google Cloud Next '25!We talked about: • The biggest misconceptions enterprises still have about GenAI (hint: it’s not just about the tech) • Where we really are on the enterprise adoption curve • What makes AI21’s LLMs stand out in a crowded market — including their focus on private and secure deployments • And if you’re a Fortune 500 CIO thinking about your GenAI strategy this year… Pankaj had some solid 30-second advice you won’t want to missLoved this conversation — practical, insightful, and full of no-fluff takes on what’s next for GenAI in the enterprise.Catch it on #TheRavitShow!#data #ai #googlecloud #ai21labs #theravitshow

How are leading tech companies joining forces to modernize AI infrastructure for the enterprise? At NVIDIA GTC, I had a great discussion with Vinay Samuel, Founder of Zetaris and Jeb Horton, SVP, Hitachi Vantara to dive into their exciting partnership—and how it’s shaping the future of Modern Lakehouse AI.🚀 Key Takeaways: 🔹 Zetaris + Hitachi Vantara: Powering smarter, faster enterprise data🔹 Real-time, distributed lakehouse architecture🔹 Helping large enterprises unlock AI at scale🔹 Modernizing AI infrastructure from edge to cloudThe synergy between these two companies is next level—and it's setting a bold direction for enterprise AI.#data #ai #zetaris #theravitshow

That was the first question I asked Vinay Samuel, CEO of Zetaris on The Ravit Show when we caught up at NVIDIA GTC this week.We had an amazing discussion around:- Why Zetaris stands out from traditional databases and data warehouses- How it enables fast, efficient AI development- And why now is the perfect time for platforms like Zetaris to lead the charge- Also, discussed about their partnership with Hitachi Vantara, Equinix, and more!NVIDIA GTC was packed with innovation, and getting to dive into conversations like this made it even more special. Big thanks to Vinay for sharing his vision—and excited for what's next and the great announcements that are coming up!#data #ai #zetaris #theravitshow

One of the most insightful conversations I had at NVIDIA GTC on The Ravit Show was with Levon Sarkisian, Head of Solutions Architecture at Nebius.We talked about Nebius’ bold expansion into the US market, where they’re going head-to-head with some of the biggest names in cloud and AI infrastructure.Learn more about Nebius here -- https://lnkd.in/dkPmuhSaCheck out what Levon answered when I asked Levon to describe Nebius in just 3 words, his response captured their entire mission: We also discussed:🌎 What makes Nebius different from other cloud players🏭 The specific industries and customer segments they're doubling down on🧠 The real challenges facing model builders and AI labs—especially in today’s race to win the generative AI gameIf you’re working on GenAI or building scalable models, you’ll want to keep an eye on what Nebius is doing next. Their momentum is real.

Building a cloud for AI is more than just stacking GPUs together—it requires deep software expertise and hardware innovation working in sync. At NVIDIA GTC, I had the chance to sit down with Gleb K. and Oleg Fedorov from Nebius to break down what it really takes to build a high-performance AI cloud from scratch.Gleb, leading the software side, shared insights into the complexities of AI cloud infrastructure, while Oleg, focusing on hardware, talked about the compute power needed to support today’s AI demands.We covered:✅ What it means to be a "serial cloud builder" and how Gleb transitioned from managing data centers to architecting AI-first cloud solutions✅ Why an AI cloud is much more than just a collection of GPUs and how Nebius optimized for speed and efficiency✅ The key ingredients of “good compute” and what it takes to deliver top-tier performance in AI workloads✅ How Nebius and NVIDIA are working together to push the boundaries of AI infrastructureThis interview is about the software-hardware synergy that powers AI innovation and the future of AI cloud computing.#data #ai #nebius #nvidiagtc2025 #theravitshow
