Aysu Demirtel – the Head of Infrastructure and Operations, and I have presented Hitit CS at Google Next Event in San Francisco this year. By a very nice coincidence, the event started on the International Women’s Day on Marth 8th. As you may guess, as in most of the IT events the number of women attended was less than the number of men.
During the event, dedicated to the celebration, we’ve learned about the Women Techmakers initiative. Starting from 2014, Women Techmakers program has been continually launching global scale projects and piloting new enterprises to support and empower women in the industry.
In this rather technical conference, the keynotes were presented by both women and man in equal ratio. Positions varied from technicians to management both in vendors and customers case studies. We have witnessed the diversity trend in action. We are also very proud to be a part of the organization which makes it possible to a further extent. In Hitit, we are given a chance to take action and to lead the technology together with the new generation of woman engineers.
The conference covered technology trends like Cloud and other solutions. Hitit has been already benefiting from some of the services Google Cloud provides and we are constantly exploring new opportunities.
We were impressed by the vendors providing their solutions on Google Cloud as SAP and companies like HSBC, running the certain systems on Cloud, the new product launched as Spanner Database and 64 core VM’s. Last but not least - the Open Initiative: Google has open-sourced the Kubernetes platform.
Infrastructure as a Service will adopt more and more of the Cloud solutions. It was a pleasure to see new functionality, especially Google Cloud, providing the Cloud to on-premise network connectivity in an improved way.
One of the observations from the event is that many enterprises are seriously considering moving to the Cloud and that all the respectable vendors are making their products available on Cloud.
As Hitit CS we are committed to explore even more to bring the top-notch technology to our customers .
