Modernizing the Data Consumer Experience Using Cloud Computing with Manoj Thomas at Netgear
Hashmap on Tap Ep. 107
“The most value we can add is curating all of our data and presenting it in a way that’s easy to consume for the users.”
— Manoj Thomas, Sr. Director of IT at Netgear
In a perfect world, what abilities or changes would you want to see with data and analytics? On a recent episode of the Hashmap on Tap podcast, Manoj Thomas, Sr. Director of IT at Netgear, joined host Kelly Kohlleffel over espresso to discuss that sort of ideal functionality, as well as Netgear’s journey with data modernization. You’ll want to hear more about the data stack they are working with now, as well as the beginning of their relationship with Hashmap!
On tap for this episode is a bold cup of espresso. Kelly’s choice is Nespresso Altissio, and Manoj, who’s recently gotten into grinding his own beans, sips a handcrafted espresso.
Manoj leads the data teams that are delivering insights across the Netgear ecosystem, from parental controls (if they’ll let you!) in their home network services to networking, storage, and security solutions for your business.
Fun fact: Netgear was the first company that asked Hashmap to look into Snowflake when they made their initial entrance into the cloud data scene. Listen to the episode to find out why Snowflake is a must for data and analytics.
Hear Manoj’s Perspectives On:
- The role Snowflake plays in Netgear’s data and analytics
- The 7 S’s — simplicity, speed, sustainability, self-service, scale, security, savings, and which is most important when finding their next data service or product
- Designing warehouses to avoid any surprises
- How the cloud-based consumption model works better for him
- Why he’s paying attention to Databricks’ Lakehouse rebranding
- His newfound interest in yoga
