Marjorie Furay: Hello everybody and welcome to master class tonight.
Mary Bogue: Hello.
Marjorie Furay: How are you?
Bradley Marker: Hello. Hello.
Marjorie Furay: How's everybody doing?
Pallavi Anand: Definitely hello.
Mary Bogue: Great.
Marjorie Furay: It is Thursday.
Marjorie Furay: Umm June 8th, 2023.
Marjorie Furay: And we're gonna start another master class.
Marjorie Furay: We have some excellent as we always do, some excellent presentations and presenters and we should be having a lot of fun tonight.
Marjorie Furay: And let's see who we can go ahead and start with who's first on the list.
Marjorie Furay: Pallavi, Are you ready?
Pallavi Anand: After the yes, I am.
Marjorie Furay: Really, go ahead and take it.
Pallavi Anand: You're exactly sure?
Pallavi Anand: I'll share my screen.
Pallavi Anand: And everybody see my screen now.
Marjorie Furay: Yes.
Mary Bogue: Yes.
Pallavi Anand: OK.
Bradley Marker: Yep.
Pallavi Anand: So, OK, so good evening everybody.
Pallavi Anand: My topic for today is cloud computing.
Pallavi Anand: So what is cloud computing?
Pallavi Anand: Many of us use cloud based services every day, whether we realize it or not, the cloud has had a massive impact on the way organizations and companies work.
Pallavi Anand: The name comes from the fact that technology is Internet based and in computer literature the Internet is represented as a cloud.
Pallavi Anand: Cloud computing is a method by which we access remote service that provides software storage, database, networking, or computing services over the Internet.
Pallavi Anand: The cloud to offer faster innovation, flexible resources, economies of scale instead of our company buying hardware or software, we can rent or pay per use.
Pallavi Anand: So the benefits of cloud computing are many, such as cost migration to the cloud helps companies to reduce their IT costs.
Pallavi Anand: This is due to the fact that there is no need to invest in capital expenses such as buying hardware and software and maintenance of on site data centers as well as personal required for managing infrastructure speed.
Pallavi Anand: With just a few mouse clicks, vast amounts of computing resources can be provisioned in minutes due to on demand and self service tools available.
Pallavi Anand: This gives enterprises flexibility and takes off the pressure of capacity, planning productivity.
Pallavi Anand: Cloud computing eliminates the need for time consuming IT management chores such as hardware setup, software patching, et cetera required for running on site data centers.
Pallavi Anand: This means that it teams can focus more on achieving more important business objectives.
Pallavi Anand: Global scale cloud computing services can scale elastically.
Pallavi Anand: This means delivering the right amount of its resources, such as more or less computing power storage bandwidth where they are needed, and from the right geographic location performance.
Pallavi Anand: The biggest cloud computing services run on a worldwide network of secure data centers, which are regularly updated to the latest generation of fast and efficient computing hardware.
Pallavi Anand: It is a distinct advantage over a single corporate data center, which includes reduced network latency for applications and greater economies of scale.
Pallavi Anand: Reliability.
Pallavi Anand: Since data can be mirrored at multiple redundant sites on the cloud providers network, cloud computing makes data backup, disaster recovery and business continuity cost effective and simpler security.
Pallavi Anand: The customers, data, apps and infrastructure are protected from potential threats since cloud providers offer a set of policies, technologies and controls that strengthen the security position of the users.
Pallavi Anand: There are three different ways to deploy cloud services.
Pallavi Anand: The public cloud public clouds are the most common way of deploying cloud services.
Pallavi Anand: Services are offered over the public Internet and available to anyone who wants to purchase them.
Pallavi Anand: The cloud resources such as servers and storage are owned and operated by a third party cloud service provider and delivered over the Internet.
Pallavi Anand: Services may be free or sold on demand, allowing customers to pay only per usage for their CPU cycles, storage or bandwidth.
Pallavi Anand: They consume Microsoft Azure is an example of a public cloud with the public cloud.
Pallavi Anand: All hardware, software and other supporting infrastructure is owned and managed by the cloud provider.
Pallavi Anand: You access these services and manage your account using a web browser.
Pallavi Anand: Examples of why you'd use a public cloud service consumption through on demand or subscription.
Pallavi Anand: Model the on demand or subscription model allows you to pay for the portion of CPU, storage and other resources that you use or reserve no up front investment in hardware.
Pallavi Anand: No required to requirement to purchase, manage and maintain on premises hardware and application infrastructure.
Pallavi Anand: The cloud service provider is held responsible for all management and maintenance of the system.
Pallavi Anand: Automation quickly provision infrastructure resources using a web portal, scripts or automation, geographic dispersion store, data centers, store data near your users are in desired locations without having to maintain your own data centers.
Pallavi Anand: Reduce hardware maintenance.
Pallavi Anand: The service provider is responsible for hardware maintenance.
Pallavi Anand: Now we move on to the to the private cloud.
Pallavi Anand: The private cloud is defined as computing services offered either over the Internet or a private internal network, and only to select users instead of the general public, also called an internal or corporate cloud.
Pallavi Anand: Private cloud computing gives businesses many of the benefits of a public cloud, including self service, scalability and elasticity.
Pallavi Anand: With the additional control and customization available from dedicated resources over a computing infrastructure hosted on premises.
Pallavi Anand: In addition, private clouds deliver a high level of security and privacy through both company firewalls and internal hosting to ensure operations and sensitive data are not accessible.
Pallavi Anand: Two third party providers, 1 drawback is that the companies IT department is held responsible for the costs and accountability of managing the private cloud.
Pallavi Anand: So private clouds require the same staffing, management and maintenance expenses, etc.
Pallavi Anand: Traditional data center ownership examples of why you'd use a private cloud pre existing environment at an existing environment, an existing operating environment that can't be replicated in the public cloud.
Pallavi Anand: Legacy applications business critical legacy applications that can't easily be physically relocated.
Pallavi Anand: Data sovereignty and security.
Pallavi Anand: Political borders and legal requirements didn't may dictate where data can physically exist.
Pallavi Anand: Moving on to the hybrid cloud.
Pallavi Anand: Ohh, Hybrid Cloud is a computing environment that combines a public cloud and a private cloud by allowing data and applications to be shared between them when computing and processing.
Pallavi Anand: Demand fluctuates.
Pallavi Anand: Hybrid cloud computing gives businesses the ability to seamlessly scale their on premises infrastructure up to the public cloud to handle any overflow without giving third party data centers access to the entirety of their data.
Pallavi Anand: Organizations gain flexibility and computing power of the public cloud for basic and nonsensitive computing task while keeping business critical applications and data on premises safely behind a complete firewalls.
Pallavi Anand: Examples of why you use a hybrid cloud, existing hardware investment?
Pallavi Anand: Business reasons require that you use an existing operating environment and hardware regulatory requirements regulation requires that data needs to remain at a physical location, unique operating environment.
Pallavi Anand: When a public cloud can't replicate a legacy operating environment, migration move.
Pallavi Anand: Workloads to the cloud over time.
Pallavi Anand: Now we come to what is IAS PAS and SAS IAS the most basic category of computing services with infrastructure as a service.
Pallavi Anand: You rent IT infrastructure such as servers and virtual machines.
Pallavi Anand: Storage networks, operating systems from a cloud provider on a pay as you go basis BA.
thanh tran: Who?
thanh tran: Oh.
Pallavi Anand: BAAS platform.
Pallavi Anand: As a service refers to cloud computing services that supply and on demand environment for developing, testing, delivering and managing software applications.
Pallavi Anand: It's BAS designed to make it easier for developers to quickly create web or mobile apps without worrying about setting up or managing the underlying infrastructure of server, storage, network and databases needed for development.
Pallavi Anand: SES software as a service is a method for delivering software applications over the Internet on demand and typically on a subscription basis with SaaS, cloud providers host and manage the software application, underlying infrastructure and handle any maintenance like databases and business intelligence tools.
Pallavi Anand: Users connect to the application over the Internet, usually with the web browser on their phone, tablet or PC.
Pallavi Anand: So now we come to the users of cloud computing.
Pallavi Anand: Here are a few example of what's possible with cloud services from a cloud provider store backup and recover data protect your data most cost efficiently and at massive scale by transferring your data over the Internet to an offsite cloud storage system.
Pallavi Anand: That's accessible from any location and any device, stream audio and video connect with your audience anywhere, anytime, on any define, on any device with high definition video and audio.
Pallavi Anand: With global distribution deliver software on demand, also known as software, as a service on demand, software lets you offer the latest software versions and updates to customers anytime they need anywhere they are.
Pallavi Anand: Best unfilled applications reduce application development cost and time by using cloud infrastructures that can easily be scaled up or down.
Pallavi Anand: Analyze data, unify your data across teams, divisions and locations in the cloud.
Pallavi Anand: Then use cloud services such as machine learning and artificial intelligence to uncover insights for more informed decisions.
Pallavi Anand: Embed intelligence.
Pallavi Anand: Use intelligent models to help engage customers and provide valuable insights from the data captured.
Pallavi Anand: So who needs cloud computing?
Pallavi Anand: If an organization experiences any of the following, they are probably a good candidate for cloud computing.
Pallavi Anand: Hi, business growth, that outpaces infrastructure capabilities, low utilization of existing infrastructure resources, large volumes of data that are overwhelming your on premises data storage resources, slow response times with on premises infrastructure, delayed product development cycles due to infrastructure constraints, cash flow challenges due to high computing infrastructure expenses, highly mobile or distributed user population that is from me, these are my references.
Pallavi Anand: Thank you for your time.
Pallavi Anand: Any questions please?
Marjorie Furay: Excellent.
Marjorie Furay: That's a good way to explain everything.
Marjorie Furay: When it comes down to, you know, cloud computing cause a lot of people don't realize even when they're coming into the internship.
Marjorie Furay: They, you know, they wanna go cloud computing.
Marjorie Furay: It's like, well, we're all cloud.
Marjorie Furay: I don't know what to give you.
Pallavi Anand: Umm.
Marjorie Furay: But that that makes it a little bit more you know.
Marjorie Furay: Significant to what?
Marjorie Furay: That might be great job.
Pallavi Anand: Thank.
Marjorie Furay: Absolutely.
Marjorie Furay: Great job.
Pallavi Anand: Thank you.
Pallavi Anand: I'll stop sharing my screen.
Marjorie Furay: OK.
Marjorie Furay: So let's see.
Marjorie Furay: Mary, Are you ready?
Mary Bogue: I am.
Marjorie Furay: Go right ahead.
Mary Bogue: But see if I could get the share to work for me tonight.
Marjorie Furay: Alrighty.
Mary Bogue: Are you seeing anything on the screen?
Mary Bogue: Because I have a little.
Marjorie Furay: I do.
Mary Bogue: OK.
Mary Bogue: Yeah, let me fix that.
Marjorie Furay: I see your PowerPoint, but it's like partial page and the slides.
Marjorie Furay: Yeah, to Scroll down.
Mary Bogue: There we go.
Mary Bogue: How's that?
Marjorie Furay: There we go.
Mary Bogue: OK.
Marjorie Furay: Yes, we'll page.
Mary Bogue: All right.
Mary Bogue: Well, hello everyone.
Mary Bogue: I'm Mary bogue.
Mary Bogue: And tonight I thought we might take a fun journey back through time as it relates to data storage, you might ask me, why is this topic?
Mary Bogue: Well, as IT professionals, we will interact with colleagues, clients and users with a variety of backgrounds as well as age groups is important to recognize that everyone has their own history and experiences in their IT journeys, whether they are working in an IT position or their own experiences in business or personal use.
Mary Bogue: With technology, everyone has their story.
Mary Bogue: In pursuing my degree and doing a wide variety of research and training while pursuing this degree, I have realized not only how much has changed over my career, but how much of that experience has shaped me into who I am today and why I have always loved the challenges of being an IT professional.
Mary Bogue: Things never stop changing, and for the most part they keep improving.
Mary Bogue: This slide represents a lot of history regarding the storage and management of data.
Mary Bogue: Some of these mediums are actually still serving as significant and valuable storage options, although I may be dating myself.
Mary Bogue: As you will see, it also represents part of my own journey working in various IT positions.
Mary Bogue: Punch cards.
Mary Bogue: Paper tape, magnetic tape, removable hard drives, floppy disk and cloud storage have all had their day of glory, so to speak, and a few of them, of course, are still in use today.
Mary Bogue: Data processing and disaster recovery storage sites have grown in popularity as businesses strive to protect one of their biggest assets.
Mary Bogue: Their company data, as well as their customer data.
Mary Bogue: You'll notice a couple of pictures here.
Mary Bogue: Storage sites.
Mary Bogue: The one in the middle is what most of you are probably familiar with.
Mary Bogue: Walls of servers and mag tape drives the picture to the left of the cloud stores is actually a data storage disaster recovery site in an old gypsum gypsum mine in Grand Rapids, MI.
Mary Bogue: I actually had the opportunity to visit this site after a very long elevator ride deep underground.
Mary Bogue: I found a very impressive sight with areas secured for data storage and walls of servers leased by companies that back up their entire organization in case of a natural disaster.
Mary Bogue: I'm sure we could find more of these unique sites across the country.
Mary Bogue: Have any of you ever visited a unique disaster recovery or data storage site you that you would like to share with us?
Mary Bogue: Don't be shy if you have one.
Bradley Marker: I don't know if it would be unique, but uh, I used to work for the airline clients and they had an entire separate uh disaster recovery site in Cincinnati from their main one in Columbus.
Bradley Marker: And so if and it has happened, this was after they had a complete virtual computer failure, they built a whole site for it.
Mary Bogue: Wow.
Bradley Marker: So if anything goes down, they would drive the hour to Cincinnati.
Bradley Marker: Ohio and just everything there is being constantly backed up.
Mary Bogue: Wow.
Bradley Marker: So it was a physical backup storage on top of their cloud backup.
Mary Bogue: Well then that's that's good practice to have a, a, a plan for the disaster in case of disaster hits the other one.
Mary Bogue: Thanks for sharing that, Bradley.
Bradley Marker: Well, it it's unfortunate that they only did that after the disaster hit the first one.
Mary Bogue: Of course, hindsight right.
Bradley Marker: So right how it always goes.
Bradley Marker: Yep, 2020.
Mary Bogue: Exactly anybody else?
Mary Bogue: OK.
Mary Bogue: So moving on, let's talk about some history.
Mary Bogue: I have picked a few mediums to talk about this evening.
Mary Bogue: It would take a lot more than 15 minutes to discuss all the storage technologies that have been created, and there are sure to be many new ones in the future.
Mary Bogue: Punch cards originated in the 1800s and were originally used to control machine weaving on textile looms.
Mary Bogue: Herman Hollerith in late 1890 began using punch card technology to tabulate US Census data.
Mary Bogue: He founded a new company and began using the punch cards in tabulating machines.
Mary Bogue: By the way, his company grew to become IBM in the 1950s, IBM began building general purpose computers that utilized punch cards for input and data storage.
Mary Bogue: IBM and late 2002 was still exploring punch card technology for a system with the ability of storing 25 million pages of information on the on the surface, the size of a postage stamp, which is amazing to me.
Mary Bogue: My introduction to punch cards was working was working as a programmer, analyst in a refrigerator manufacturing plant.
Mary Bogue: One of the departments I supported was shipping and one task they were responsible for was applying the appropriate bar code label used for inventory scanning to every refrigerator.
Mary Bogue: That left the plant.
Mary Bogue: These barcode labels were generated in the IT data center.
Mary Bogue: The system used to print the labels was driven by punch card technology.
Mary Bogue: There was literally a card catalog of punch cards where a group of cards would be pulled depending on the model of refrigerator being shipped, the quantity ordered and shipping location programs were not stored in the computer, they were stored on the punch card loaded into the processor and screen prompts would pop up for the specific information needed for the order.
Mary Bogue: Now if that doesn't date me, nothing else does, but it was fascinating and watch.
Mary Bogue: That's right, the computer program was actually on the punch card.
Landon Moore: Ohh yeah.
Mary Bogue: Now you're gonna hate yourself land and be careful.
Mary Bogue: So most of the earliest computers use spools of paper tape.
Mary Bogue: These spools stored information via punch holes like punch cards.
Mary Bogue: Programs were read from the punched paper tape and stored in electronic memory for later execution.
Mary Bogue: This technology was used for three decades for both input and output.
Mary Bogue: The first IT related position I held.
Mary Bogue: I described to people as spending all day typing on a hybrid typewriter.
Mary Bogue: I used to tell everyone I was just a glorified typewriter.
Mary Bogue: You've all probably seen game shows on TV like let's make a deal where contestants can win prize packages.
Mary Bogue: The company I worked for sold appliances, refrigerators, air conditioners, washers, dryers and stoves that were purchased for these types of prizes.
Mary Bogue: The job I had was to type the invoice to the purchaser.
Mary Bogue: The typing produced a punched paper tape that captured all the invoice data and was then sent to the billing machine operators who loaded the base information and as prompts popped up the input.
Mary Bogue: The Umm, specific details of pricing and discounts into their machines, which then also generated a paper tape.
Mary Bogue: The billing machines produced the paper tape that was then sent to our data support Center for additional processing and generation of of the invoices and capturing sales related details for decision making purposes.
Mary Bogue: Early analytics at its best.
Mary Bogue: The 1950s brought a new trend in data storage magnetic tape.
Mary Bogue: IBM began using magnetic tape similar to audio tape for data storage stored in open reels.
Mary Bogue: They consisted of thin plastic strips coated with a magnetic substance that computers could read from and write to by electronic heads in a special tape drive considered to be the primary storage medium.
Mary Bogue: Since the 1960s, tape drives are being overshadowed by disk and cloud storage due to growing demands and new technology.
Mary Bogue: Hard drives offer higher capacity, lower price and better usability.
Mary Bogue: Tape drives, including tape cartridges and concepts, can deteriorate over time, which can result in unwanted loss.
Mary Bogue: Although there are some disadvantages, disadvantages to tape backups such as higher costs for tape drives and libraries, sensitivity to magnetic fields and low data copying speed, tape backup still remains relevant in today's data centers.
Mary Bogue: Tape devices provide large storage capacity and can be easily expanded as data storage needs increase.
Mary Bogue: If properly maintained, they can store data for 30 years or more, which makes them popular for long term retention of critical data.
Mary Bogue: They are also favored by many organizations as data can be protected from ransomware or cloud, or malware is, backups are stored offline as the tape device is disconnected from the system once the backup is complete.
Mary Bogue: Cloud storage as, as we heard of earlier, provides data security online that is accessible anytime from anywhere.
Mary Bogue: It can also provide databank OK.
Mary Bogue: Excuse me, data backup offsite that supports disaster recovery plans.
Mary Bogue: Cloud systems can specialize in storage of a particular data type, such as digital photos or music, and can also provide general storage of multiple types of data, such as spreadsheets, presentations, documents and audio files, apples, iCloud, Amazon Web Services, Dropbox and Google are very popular cloud storage providers.
Mary Bogue: Data is everywhere in the security industry alone.
Mary Bogue: Close to 300,000,000 surveillance cameras churn out billions of hours worth of video that must be stored.
Mary Bogue: Experts predict storage needs increasing 25 to 30% each year, as this graph shows, in 2010, data created and stored was two zettabytes, with 181 zettabytes predicted predicted by 2025.
Mary Bogue: That is a lot of data.
Mary Bogue: Keep in mind each zettabyte is a trillion gigabytes.
Mary Bogue: It's really hard to wrap around.
Mary Bogue: Wrap your head around that much data as Internet of Things data volume increases, storage capabilities will need to grow as well.
Mary Bogue: Projections show there will be almost 42 billion connected devices by 2025, and they will generate 79.4 zettabytes of data just from IoT.
Mary Bogue: The Internet of Things is not the only contributor to data storage needs.
Mary Bogue: IoT, mobiles, laptops and vehicles, for example, are endpoints, branch offices, cell towers, gateways are on the edge with the core being large data centers, including public and private clouds.
Mary Bogue: Storage storage must be able to work on premises data as well as multiple cloud services.
Mary Bogue: Businesses must find solutions with extra capacity and better reliability to manage all of the data that will be generated.
Mary Bogue: It is imperative defined, better means of storing data, ways that are energy efficient and don't take up large amounts of space.
Mary Bogue: Researchers are working on options, but none are quite ready for implementation.
Mary Bogue: For example, 5D optical storage is being studied that involves lasers etching information into cubes of silicon glass, which would be used for long term storage as the Methodist permanent and requires no power.
Mary Bogue: A cube could store hundreds of terabytes.
Mary Bogue: Another area of current research is storing data as super cold temperatures.
Mary Bogue: These researchers have already developed man-made molecules with the ability to store several 100 times more data than current hard drives.
Mary Bogue: The key storing the key storing molecules at low temperatures?
Mary Bogue: Maybe that gypsum mine was ahead of its time.
Mary Bogue: Looking forward, rest assured, there are things being researched and tested that most of us have not even considered.
Mary Bogue: This is simply my thoughts.
Mary Bogue: As I stated in the beginning, everyone has their story.
Mary Bogue: I try to remind myself of when working with colleagues and users having an understanding of their journey or experiences with with technology may make it easier for you to determine their needs for the current project or give you the ability to bridge the gap between where they have been and where they need to be.
Mary Bogue: With the technology change you already implementing.
Mary Bogue: Thank you for your attention this evening and I am happy to take questions or comments.
Mary Bogue: Tell me your experiences.
Nathan Crozier: Well, for my master class meeting, I was planning on making this exact presentation.
Mary Bogue: Well, I'm glad I got ahead of you.
Nathan Crozier: So, uh, yeah, just ahead.
Nathan Crozier: I'll have to come up with something else.
Mary Bogue: You'll be fine.
Mary Bogue: Or just take that takes it and enhance it from your perspective on how it was used.
Mary Bogue: I will stop sharing my screen. Whoops.
Marjorie Furay: Excellent.
Marjorie Furay: Mary, that was so cool.
Marjorie Furay: It really was.
Marjorie Furay: I mean, I don't go as far back as punch cards, not making anybody feel bad.
Mary Bogue: Yes, yes.
Marjorie Furay: I do remember the cassettes that my uncle was using on the Commodore 64 when he was back in stuff up.
Marjorie Furay: Yeah, that's funny.
Marjorie Furay: That really brings me back.
Mary Bogue: I remember.
Marjorie Furay: That's for sure.
Landon Moore: Commodore 64, that was so advanced.
Mary Bogue: Yes, I remember the removable right, right.
Marjorie Furay: I know it was seriously compared to all this other stuff.
Marjorie Furay: You see, I mean, it's crazy.
Landon Moore: I had a Vic 20.
Mary Bogue: I remember doing the great big the first time the big round portable drives came out and we would put that in on Monday morning and we'd process all our work for the week and on Friday so it would pull it out of there with his handle and run it to the downtown data center every Friday afternoon.
Mary Bogue: The greatest part about that was I got to leave work two hours early.
Marjorie Furay: That's cool.
Marjorie Furay: I still don't understand the punch cards and how that works.
Marjorie Furay: It's like you got to type it all in and it would punch out.
Marjorie Furay: Like I don't know which full sentences or something.
Mary Bogue: It was all coated.
Mary Bogue: I mean, it was.
Mary Bogue: It was fascinating to me the first time I said I was shocked.
Mary Bogue: At that point in my career, I wasn't.
Mary Bogue: I mean, this was old technology that they just had not eliminated.
Mary Bogue: In fact, as I came in as a program analyst, we were converting a lot of the systems over from the old punch card stuff and paper tape stuff to they were running converting to ask for hunters.
Mary Bogue: IBM as 400 machines, so a lot of that stuff is being rewritten.
Mary Bogue: And so we had to figure out how to read some of the programs that were on the punch cards encoded cryptic coding and write programs that would make them work now.
Mary Bogue: And I as 400 it was quite an interesting project.
Landon Moore: It was assembly.
Mary Bogue: I've never seen any of that stuff before, yes.
Marjorie Furay: Yeah, that's what it is.
Marjorie Furay: Exactly.
Mary Bogue: Yeah, it is assembly language.
Mary Bogue: That's correct.
Marjorie Furay: Wow, I'll tell you well, that is something to learn.
Marjorie Furay: Thank you, Mary.
Marjorie Furay: That was great.
Mary Bogue: You're welcome. Thanks.
Marjorie Furay: Very cool.
Marjorie Furay: All right, so next, Pamela, Are you ready?
Marjorie Furay: We'll see Pamela.
Marjorie Furay: Umm.
Marjorie Furay: Wonder if she sent me one that needs to be without with the annotation on it.
Marjorie Furay: So let's go ahead to Bradley and I'll see if I've got something from Pamela.
Bradley Marker: Alright, sounds good.
Marjorie Furay: All righty.
Bradley Marker: OK.
Bradley Marker: Can everyone see my screen?
Pallavi Anand: Yes.
Mary Bogue: Yes.
Bradley Marker: Awesome, alright.
Bradley Marker: So my name's Brad Marker.
Bradley Marker: I am a data analyst student of getting my masters here purdueglobal awe.
Bradley Marker: My topic is technology and AI evolution in sports.
Bradley Marker: So technology as we've talked about before and again and again is rapidly changing from add.
Bradley Marker: When I started school, I remember saving reports on a floppy disk to bring to the library to print out to turn in.
Bradley Marker: So technology is ever changing with the addition of AI and algorithms that are becoming more and more complex.
Bradley Marker: Their uses are becoming more diverse and more right now and then everyone's using them.
Bradley Marker: It's revolution revolutionizing all aspects of sports, from training to injury prevention and recovery.
Bradley Marker: Even fan involvement is being affected by these changes in technology.
Bradley Marker: So a I use in sports uh data driven approach has really changed the game.
Bradley Marker: If you look at sports like baseball, have always use stats very highly, but the way data is collected now is vastly different and more complex.
Bradley Marker: With all the data that is collected, they can make training, optimization or per individual players where they can say is like we can tell that you are deficient in this spot for or we see that you're having problems shooting.
Bradley Marker: Your uh, the basket like this or hitting all golfing on a fairway with this kind of level.
Bradley Marker: And so they can make it specific training regiment to improve on those skills.
Bradley Marker: Algorithm based decisions are also becoming more and more popular where it the AI with a good algorithm can tell you is like hey, you should run this play or armed.
Bradley Marker: If the course is programmed for like golf, they could be like ohh on this freeway.
Bradley Marker: Let's throw out the 9 wood or because the winds like this and that way it even can track your performance with performance analysis and let people know how much they're improving if they've reached a peak or a valley.
Bradley Marker: Ohh AI assistants are also becoming popular, with just preemptively giving coaches and players what they should do and be, especially if it's live.
Bradley Marker: Recording data that is happening during a game or event, but as always, more data is not always better on the old saying garbage in, garbage out.
Bradley Marker: But if you can get good data and have someone to properly filter out, it is vastly helpful.
Bradley Marker: Technology innovation in sports training because of all the changes in technology, athletes are able to push their limits further and further than they ever had before from wearable devices, sensor technology, analytics, even just a camera as they can track you are a person's movement to help them improve.
Bradley Marker: I have a short little clip of what but one gold in the Olympics.
Bradley Marker: Ohh for vault in 1932 and in 2012 which I think shows vastly how different all sports has changed.
Bradley Marker: As you can see, in 1932 the man.
Bradley Marker: Ohh, barely made up all over.
Bradley Marker: Well, in 2012 he had to do a series of flips and turns.
Bradley Marker: Data analytics and sports performance data is crucial to optimizing any program.
Bradley Marker: You need to get a large amount of data and smartly on separate it into what you need and what is not needed.
Bradley Marker: Algorithms can uncover hidden patterns about players and opponents where you can.
Bradley Marker: Another football reference is like an algorithm can tell you is like ohh this team is more likely to throw it in this position or make a run or plant and that can help make your own decisions back to AI assistants that I talked about earlier.
Bradley Marker: If you can make a program sophisticated enough, it can actually preemptively tell you it's like, hey, if this happens, you should run this play.
Bradley Marker: It also allows for track trackable progress and how the teams doing ohh, how India your players are doing and you can see like it can tell you if your team is always leaves their left side open or if like you're playing tennis and you always all serve a certain way and you're coming too predictable.
Bradley Marker: Like you said, as if you can greet good data, the analytics can truly change the game.
Bradley Marker: AI and bio mechanics and analyze.
Bradley Marker: So this picture is a guy wearing a wearable technology brace that will test his range of movement.
Bradley Marker: It helps to optimize the players movement.
Bradley Marker: This one is particularly for rehabilitation, so after an injury they can see us like, alright, you're throwing at like 70% of what you were before or your range of movement saying proved uh 50% and it specially if there's a good baseline that they have before injuries it can help show where improvement is needed and what needs to be specialized worked on.
Bradley Marker: And let's not forget about the fans of the game.
Bradley Marker: Uh, the AI greatly helps with fan engagement.
Bradley Marker: We've all been targeted by ads from doing this research.
Bradley Marker: I am.
Bradley Marker: I am constantly getting all technology sports ads.
Bradley Marker: I just got one before this class for.
Bradley Marker: Uh sensor that you put on your Golf Club and it it will tell you how straight your swing is or how hard you're swinging it, and to help improve it.
Bradley Marker: So because of cookies and everything else that tracks us it it can give you a more engaged Tom event at a stadium, even can improve it for people who are watching out.
Bradley Marker: Pull the AI can help make better calls.
Bradley Marker: It can help drive cameras and be like ohh auto switch to camera too which will have a better angle for how the players are moving and everything overall enhancing the entire experience for all viewers.
Bradley Marker: And and as everyone talks about with AI, there's the ethical consideration of sports.
Bradley Marker: All changes the technology always need to consider ethical and the impact it will have on ohm sport and the topic it's talking about.
Bradley Marker: UM, transparency is needed.
Bradley Marker: Ah, there's lots of God I'm trying to remember.
Bradley Marker: What teams are were but like stolen playbooks and stuff like that?
Bradley Marker: This using like AI and being able to record stuff even like seeing pictures or videotapes of coaches saying stuff into their mic.
Bradley Marker: And I usually can translate it and be like, oh, if he does this, that means they're gonna run this play or as baseball.
Bradley Marker: If you've ever seen the catchers throw out signs and all that, if cameras to recording that, then they can give it to their batter and let them know what's happening.
Bradley Marker: Technology always also has a huge bias in itself, which we'll talk about more on the next slide for the global impact of AI in sports, global impact has changed on scouting.
Bradley Marker: It has significantly all made the world significantly smaller as technology does.
Bradley Marker: Because of this, kids uploading videos or other or entire sports games.
Bradley Marker: Uh.
Bradley Marker: Scatters can easily find talented players and uh talented players are easier to promote themselves.
Bradley Marker: But technology, especially new and emerging technology, comes to a class issue of rich versus poor.
Bradley Marker: It's technology is expensive.
Bradley Marker: It's expensive to develop and start up, and so with whoever has the more capital will have the edge in this.
Bradley Marker: Uh, it's always a joke in baseball that the Yankees, being one of the richest teams, always buys their.
Bradley Marker: Talent ohse there's not a pay cap and this could become an issue with the more uh technologies used in sports.
Bradley Marker: And so overall, AI will be changing the games completely and will continue to do so, and it needs to be watched.
Bradley Marker: But it really is going to benefit all every day.
Bradley Marker: Players such as myself engulf where I recently took a lesson, which is why I wanted to do this topic like were they the camera where it did anchor points and it was able to tell Awk where I was bending to watchers choked up too much.
Bradley Marker: And honestly, that is just available technology to everyday people now where it used to be this expensive for professionals only.
Bradley Marker: And so that is my presentation.
