Welcome to the Cloud Wars Minute<\/a> \u2014 your daily cloud news and commentary show. Each episode provides insights and perspectives around the \u201creimagination machine\u201d that is the cloud.<\/p>\n In today\u2019s Cloud Wars Minute, I look at why two of the fastest-growing Cloud Wars companies are joining forces around data, AI, and industry solutions.<\/p>\n Highlights<\/p>\n 00:03 \u2014 When heavy weather rolls in, it\u2019s good to have friends around. It\u2019s good to have partnerships, and I don\u2019t think the AI Revolution is so much heavy weather, but that depends on how well prepared businesses are to take advantage of it, how aggressively, how thoughtfully they\u2019re moving into this AI Revolution.<\/p>\n 00:41 \u2014 It\u2019s interesting, Google Cloud and Palantir, on the Cloud Wars Top 10<\/a>, these are the two fastest-growing companies. Google Cloud grew 63%; Palantir grew 70%. Palantir\u2019s commercial business grew 133% in the first quarter, so they\u2019ve got enormous momentum.<\/p>\n 01:30 \u2014 The Palantir Foundry platform for enterprise data management is now available on Google Cloud infrastructure and on the Google Cloud Marketplace. Google Cloud and Palantir have built connectors between Foundry and Google Cloud\u2019s BigQuery<\/a>, allowing data from those platforms and others to be pulled together for businesses to analyze.<\/p>\n Community Summit North America<\/a> is the largest independent innovation, education, and training event for Microsoft business applications delivered by Expert Users, Microsoft Leaders, MVPs, and Partners. Register now<\/a> to attend Community Summit in Nashville, TN from October 11-15. <\/p>\n 02:09 \u2014 Not just the technical integrations, which have to happen, but also this desire for these two companies to say, \u201cWe\u2019re going to jointly develop industry-specific solutions around data and AI for vertical markets.\u201d The first two they picked are retail and financial services. <\/p>\n 03:15 \u2014 This is a dream partnership, I think. And it\u2019s also probably an example of how, with the enormity of the prospects of what can happen here in the AI Revolution, we\u2019re going to see more of the Cloud Wars Top 10 companies form these sorts of wide-ranging partnerships.<\/p>\n 04:19 \u2014 There\u2019s a big emphasis from both of these companies on keeping things open and fully accessible for whichever specific routes customers want to take. We\u2019re seeing these inextricably bound connections here through this partnership of data, which is the fuel for AI, helping companies transform into AI-powered enterprises.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Welcome to the Cloud Wars Minute \u2014 your daily cloud news and commentary show.
