Nutanix sues Tessell over claims founders used IP to build rival products with strikingly similar features – ITPro

Nutanix has announced it has filed a lawsuit against database as a service platform Tessell amid allegations its founders covertly built competing products while still employed at Nutanix.

The cloud computing giant filed the lawsuit in the US District Court in San Jose, which alleges that sensitive company information, as well as valuable resources, were used illegally by Tessells founders to launch the business.

Nutanixs filing alleged that Tessell founders Bala Kuchibhotla, Kamal Khanuja, and Bakul Banthia covertly designed, built, exhibited, and secured financing for a future Tessell product while still at Nutanix.

Moreover, the lawsuit claimed that Nutanix source code, servers, and other resources were used by the Tessell founders when creating the product, and that they took the source code across to Tessell after leaving Nutanix.

KKB [Tessells founders] used Nutanix facilities, equipment, services, and even the Nutanix Era source code when developing the Tessell product, the filing reads.

KKB planned, developed, obtained initial financing for, and demonstrated prototypes of the competing productall using Nutanix computers and while they were employed by Nutanix. One of the Tessell prototypes they demonstrated actually ran on Nutanix servers.

The source code claimed to have been stolen by the group was for Nutanixs Era database management software suite, now referred to as the Nutanix Database Service (NDB).

Stay up to date with the latest news and analysis from the world of cloud computing with our twice-weekly newsletter

The complaint also argued the group tried to remove all indications of Nutanix branding from the Tessell prototype, and further cover their tracks by wiping their company devices.

When planning their departures, KKB took all or a substantial portion of the Era source code, saved it to private accounts and devices, and Tessell later incorporated Era source code into its product. KKB then wiped their laptops to cover their tracks, an effort that was initially successful.

Nutanix claimed the speed with which Tessell was able to launch its competing product, as well as a very similar feature-set, was enough for the company to open a probe into potential IP infringements.

When Tessell launched its product in late 2022, however, the speed with which it came to market with features strikingly similar to Era caused Nutanix to commence a full-fledged forensic investigation. As a result, Nutanix uncovered the theft of proprietary code and technology described herein.

The complaint argued that Tessells founders access to Nutanix source code and resources meant it was able to release their competing product just 18 months after being founded, with support for major databases such as Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, MongoDB, MySQL, and PostgreSQL.

Tessell was able to release a robust commercial product in such a relatively short period of time because it was founded by a group of Nutanix engineers who were instrumental in developing the Era product, and who had access to all of the key technology and source code embedded in Era.

Nutanix said it is seeking the return of stolen intellectual property, an injunction to prevent further infringement, restitution, and money damages from Tessell.

It also announced it would be commencing separate arbitration proceedings against the Tessell founders concerning the violation of their employee agreements as Nutanix staff.

ITPro has approached Nutanix and Tessell for comment

Is Edge Computing Living Up to Its Promise in the Australian Market? – TechRepublic

Edge computing is often predicted as a technology that will revolutionise enterprise computing in Australia. By capturing, processing, analysing and storing data at the edge, instead of a central location, its promises include fast real-time computing at the edge and less cost.

While the edge is yet to live up to these promises, adoption is taking place. Utpal Mangla, general manager for industry edge cloud & IBM Distributed Cloud Platform, said the edge is being rolled out for specific use cases globally, including quality control in manufacturing.

Growth in AI may propel the trend, as some use cases find their way to the edge. Mangla argues a hybrid cloud by design approach is the best option for enterprises looking to prepare for a future where they need to straddle on-premises, cloud and edge computing.

Australia should be a prime candidate for edge computing growth. With a population of 25 million living on a landmass the size of the U.S. or Europe, the potential for processing data at the edge, rather than centralised data centres or the cloud, appears compelling for businesses.

SEE: The current state of edge computing.

But just like elsewhere, the edge has not taken off at the pace some had envisioned.

The [global] industry has been saying for five, seven, eight years, that it was coming and would change the world, IBMs Mangla told TechRepublic. Has it panned out the way analysts and businesses have seen it? Probably in terms of monetisation, it hasnt reached that scale yet.

Telecommunications companies like Telstra have put billions into 5G infrastructure. The hope was 5Gs high bandwidth, low latency and capabilities like network slicing would make the promise of the edge real. Monetisation was to be achieved through business customers.

However, a study commissioned by Telstra in 2022-23 described adoption as nascent at the time, with just 25% of businesses. It found leaders were exploring cloud adoption and provider investments were fast-tracking customer journeys and advancing hybrid cloud plans.

An Accenture survey of 2,100 C-level execs across 18 countries found 83% still believe edge will be essential to remain competitive in the future. However, only 65% were using edge computing, and 50% of these were only ad hoc or tactical users of edge computing (Figure A).

Slower than expected edge growth was in part due to the hype of predictions themselves.

Some of it was a bit overblown. It always required building use cases, it required building businesses, it required putting things in place to make that potential of edge computing happen, Mangla said.

However, there are other barriers the edge computing industry is dealing with in deployment.

SEE: Consider these edge computing best practices.

While billed as a way to rationalise costs through a reduction in data transfer costs, the edge has actually turned out to be more expensive in some cases. Telstras State of Cloud, Edge and Security 2022-23 survey found 46% of businesses were put off by low cost-to-benefit ratios.

Forty-two per cent found business cases and outcomes not compelling enough (Figure B), which was put down to insufficient understanding of the benefits of edge in terms of ROI and competitive differentiation. Businesses were also experiencing edge strategy and skills gaps.

The depth of the edge computing market also means it is challenged by the lack of a standard edge computing stack and APIs (Figure C). This has made it challenging to develop and deploy edge applications that can work across different edge computing devices and platforms.

Use cases for edge computing have tended to be vertical-specific. With differences across industries and use cases, this means investment is also fragmented, at least until individual industries determine consistent architectural approaches to capturing the value of the edge.

Edge computing is growing in Australia and around the world, even if this may appear underwhelming due to inflated expectations. Mangla noted that edge computing is actively being deployed by IBM clients, in specific industry use cases across the globe.

A prime example is on the industrial floor. Mangla said many organisations with manufacturing operations that want top-class quality control and inspection are augmenting manual inspections by deploying edge computing for visual inspection on the shopfloor.

Epicor, a provider of manufacturing execution systems in the Australian and regional market, is just one technology vendor that is actively working with local manufacturers to supercharge operations through smart factory initiatives that further automate operations.

IBM has worked with automotive clients using the edge to monitor stock levels in car parking lots during supply chain disruptions. The edge is also powering autonomous driving features for automakers, allowing split-second decisions without the latency of cloud connectivity.

Australian miners are leading edge adopters. Iron ore miner Newcrest is using intelligent edge to pull data from downstream sensors monitoring tonnes tipped, apron feeder speeds and weightometres to control the volume of ore delivered to crushed ore bins upstream.

McKinsey & Company research indicates the industries looking at the potential of edge computing include everything from aerospace and defence, the chemicals industry, and electric power, natural gas and utilities, to financial services, healthcare systems and retail.

Australia is ripe for growth in edge computing, Mangla said. During a recent visit to Sydney, he noted there were startups looking to run artificial intelligence visual recognition technology for industries at the edge, and New Zealand companies looking at the edge for their manufacturing operations.

SEE: Australia is well-positioned to capitalise on the future influence of AI.

Mangla said edge computing could be accelerated thanks to AI because some use cases suit the edge. Mangla said the edge really excels where decisions need to be taken fast at that point in time and where it is best to avoid waiting on data to be transferred to centralised locations.

Organisations looking to make the most of edge computing, as well as the rest of their cloud infrastructure, should take a hybrid cloud by design approach, Mangla said. While much of the market had stumbled organically into a mix of on-premises and cloud infrastructure and services, he said this would be better managed with an intentional embrace of hybrid cloud in the future.

When you think about strategy, there is always going to be more than one cloud, he said. You will always have something, the crown jewels, that you will never put in a cloud environment, you will always have that in an on-prem or in a private cloud. Australian Government agencies like the ATO, they will never put anything on the public cloud.

As new applications get built, make sure that application can seamlessly operate across the entire landscape. As you start building it intentionally over the next 10 to 15 years, as you do app modernisation, you need a hybrid cloud by design mindset.

Bitcoin Dips To $64k After Record High Forbes Advisor INDIA – Forbes

The worlds largest cryptocurrency, Bitcoin (BTC), has witnessed a downturn in the last two days. As of March 20, 2024, it is trading at $64,018.90, with a market capitalization of $1.20 trillion. Bitcoin had been hovering around the $70,000 level on March 12 but surged later, surpassing its previous all-time highs. On March 14, 2024, it set a new record of $73,750, with a market capitalization reaching $1.44 trillion.

The cryptocurrencys Fear and Greed Index shifted into the zone of greed, after being in a state of extreme greed for an extended period. Bitcoin prices soared to $73,750, establishing a new all-time high and surpassing previous peaks in the second week of the month. However, Bitcoin has since retreated below the $65,000 level owing to several speculated factors that may have contributed to the decline in prices.

Heres a deep dive into what may have caused Bitcoin to dip after a record high.

Bitcoin experienced significant growth in the early weeks of March 2024, with a 74% increase in value and a remarkable 90% rise from its post-exchange traded funds (ETF) flows. However, the recent sharp corrections, occurring multiple times within two weeks, suggest a potential slowing down of the strong uptrend seen since the latter part of 2023. While this situation does not necessarily indicate a bearish outlook, it does suggest a period of consolidation for the broader crypto market.

It was inevitable for Bitcoin to experience a fall after reaching a great high, as it aligns with a fundamental principle of financial markets: what goes up must come down. Throughout history, every significant surge in asset prices has been followed by a period of correction or consolidation.

Bitcoins volcanic rise, particularly in recent months, had led to mounting expectations of a pullback. This natural ebb and flow in market dynamics reflects the cyclical nature of investor sentiment and the tendency for markets to seek equilibrium. Therefore, the decline in Bitcoins price following a period of substantial growth was not unexpected but rather a predictable outcome in the broader context of market behavior.

Another significant reason could be profit taking. After experiencing significant price increases, investors often decide to sell their holdings to realize their profits. This is a natural behavior in financial markets, including cryptocurrency markets. When prices rise rapidly, investors may become concerned about a potential reversal or correction, prompting them to sell their assets to lock in gains. As more investors start selling, it can lead to increased selling pressure and downward price movements. Profit-taking can exacerbate price declines, especially if there is a lack of buying support to counterbalance the selling pressure.

Market manipulation may have contributed to Bitcoin dipping to $64k. Cryptocurrency markets, due to their relative youth and lack of regulation compared to traditional financial markets, are susceptible to manipulation. Large investors or groups of traders, often referred to as whales, can intentionally manipulate prices to their advantage.

One common manipulation tactic is the pump and dump scheme, where a group of investors artificially inflate the price of a cryptocurrency through coordinated buying, creating a buying frenzy among retail investors. Once the price reaches a peak, the manipulators sell off their holdings at a profit, causing the price to plummet and leaving other investors with losses. Market manipulation can lead to sudden and sharp price declines, as it creates artificial demand and distorts market dynamics.

Its important for investors to be aware of these factors and exercise caution when trading in volatile markets.

The recent surge in Bitcoin, reaching a new all-time high, initially indicated a bullish momentum toward set targets. However, a recent pullback has shifted investors perspectives. March witnessed bullish trading, driving Bitcoin prices above $73,000, with the market capitalization exceeding $1.35 trillion, indicating a strong uptrend.

The present Bitcoin chart illustrates the markets volatility alongside the potential it offers. The subsequent retreat indicates a significant resistance zone that investors or buyers have not yet convincingly overcome.

Parth Chaturvedi, investment lead at Coinswitch Ventures, says the recent decline in Bitcoin prices represents a healthy correction in its rally that can be attributed to macroeconomic factors, as cryptocurrency is not isolated from broader market trends. The unexpectedly high U.S. inflation figures have dampened expectations of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut in the near future, leading to a sell-off in risk-on assets such as US and Asian stocks, as well as cryptocurrencies.

The US Fed meeting begins March 19, 2024. While the market isnt expecting any changes or surprises in terms of rate adjustments, all attention remains focused on the Federal Open Market Committees (FOMC) decision on interest rates.

Rajagopal Menon, the vice president of WazirX, states that Bitcoins price is expected to fluctuate within the range of $62,700 to $68,900 for the next few days or even weeks, potentially extending into April, a period spanning more than three weeks.

Menon anticipates another surge in the near future as demand for Bitcoin increases and its supply diminishes due to the upcoming Bitcoin Halving event, which is likely to drive prices higher. Many analysts share a bullish sentiment during this time and advise investors to remain calm and consider buying during dips.

Predicting the exact trajectory of Bitcoins price, including whether it will experience a steep fall, is inherently challenging due to the volatility and complexity of cryptocurrency markets.

The past week witnessed record-breaking inflows in the U.S. Spot Bitcoin ETFs worth $1.05 billion surpassing the previous record of $678.67 million. Given the substantial influx of capital, it appears that demand-side forces will drive Bitcoin prices higher. The recent rise in Bitcoins price may indeed attract new investors who previously missed the opportunity to buy at lower prices. This FOMO or fear-of-missing-out effect can drive further demand and contribute to upward price momentum in the short term.

Furthermore, the forthcoming Bitcoin Halving event, which will decrease mining rewards, will also create supply-side pressures conducive to bullish price action.

Edul Patel, chief executive officer and co-founder of Mudrex, believes amidst the correction in the cryptocurrency market, now is an opportune time to accumulate and systematically invest to mitigate risk and maximize long-term profits. Bitcoins immediate support level is at $61,500, with resistance at $68,500.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI), a technical analysis tool, indicates that Bitcoin is nearing oversold conditions. Typically, an oversold condition precedes a trend reversal, making it a favorable time to enter the market, says Patel.

While Bitcoins price may experience periods of volatility and speculative bubbles, the long-term sustainability of its value depends on various factors, including regulatory clarity, adoption as a store of value or medium of exchange, technological advancements, and market demand.

Historically, crypto assets have experienced significant drawdowns of 20% to 30% during bull runs before resuming their upward trajectory. Although there may be occasional instances of profit-taking leading to price dips, the overall momentum behind Bitcoin remains bullish.

Chaturvedi advises traders to exercise caution with leverage, as volatile price movements in either direction can lead to liquidations. The upcoming halving of miner rewards scheduled for April 20 is expected to trigger a substantial supply shock, potentially impacting Bitcoin prices significantly.

There is a commonly recorded phenomena in the cryptocurrency market, that is, when the price of Bitcoin experiences significant increases, it often leads to a broader surge in the prices of other cryptocurrencies, including Ethereum and various altcoins. Following are the reasons for this trend:

Market Sentiment: Positive sentiment towards Bitcoin can spill over to other cryptocurrencies, as investors view the entire market favorably during bullish periods. The belief that Bitcoins rise reflects growing interest and confidence in cryptocurrencies as a whole can lead investors to diversify their holdings into alternative assets within the crypto space.

Market Dynamics: Cryptocurrency markets are interconnected, with many investors and traders holding diversified portfolios of digital assets. When Bitcoins price rises, it can lead to increased trading activity and investment inflows into other cryptocurrencies, driving their prices higher as well.

FOMO Effect: Fear of missing out (FOMO) plays a significant role in investor behavior in the cryptocurrency market. As Bitcoins price climbs and garners media attention, investors who may have missed the initial opportunity to invest in Bitcoin may look to alternative cryptocurrencies that appear to offer similar potential for gains.

Technological Synergies: Many cryptocurrencies, including Ethereum, serve different purposes and have unique features compared to Bitcoin. Investors may see value in these alternative cryptocurrencies based on their technological innovations, use cases, or community support, leading to increased demand and higher prices. Speculative Trading: Cryptocurrency markets are known for their speculative nature, with investors seeking opportunities to profit from short-term price movements. When Bitcoins price rises sharply, traders may look for alternative cryptocurrencies with lower prices or perceived growth potential, driving up their prices through speculative trading activity.

Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin operate in a relatively unregulated environment compared to traditional financial assets. Regulatory uncertainty can create fear among investors, as they may be concerned about the potential for regulatory crackdowns or adverse legal developments that could impact their investments.

While favorable sentiment and the fear of missing out may drive short-term demand for Bitcoin and other companies, concerns about regulatory uncertainty and the sustainability of its value may impact its long-term trajectory.

The eventual adoption of regulations for cryptocurrencies could bring stability and legitimacy to the market. Clear regulatory frameworks may alleviate investors fears of potential losses and foster greater trust and confidence in the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
