☆ Why the 'Amazonification' of startups isn't always a good thing
  + stars: | 2022-10-19 | by ( Jordan Parker Erb | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
Plus, we've got news on actual robots, who are threatening to pit humans against machines. That's not always a good thing. Companies love to hire Amazon alumni who inject their firms with Jeff Bezos' metrics-focused style. Amazon-trained leaders (sometimes known as "Jeff Bots") have founded more than 650 startups, and swaths have joined the industry's top C-suites, contributing to the "Amazonification" of said firms. Now, humans need to determine how to synchronize our labor with the souls of new machines — before things get out of hand.

"This dynamic creates multiple ways to win and makes the investment in Splunk even more interesting," he added.

☆ Riverbed CEO explains his plan to overcome financial troubles and beat out rivals like Cisco by pivoting from hardware to software
  + stars: | 2022-10-06 | by ( Aaron Mok | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
The information-technology firm Riverbed is betting it can outdo giants like Cisco, worth about $172 billion, in the observability-tools space. In a switch from its networking hardware roots, Riverbed is launching more software products that use artificial intelligence and machine learning to monitor a firm's IT infrastructure, known as observability tools. After years of hardship, Riverbed's suite of observability tools generates more sales than its hardware, making it pivotal to the firm's recovery strategy. Riverbed's focus on observability software is especially important now that the chip shortage is slowing down the production of its WAN optimization devices, another blow to its hardware sales, Smoot said. That's why it's not discontinuing its hardware business despite hinging future growth on the observability market.
