In this interview Scott Noteboom, CEO of litbit and former leader of Apple’s global infrastructure team, explains how we can use machine learning to improve various aspects of the data center.

litbit is an American start-up that was established in 2013 to apply innovative analytical techniques to the wealth of data produced by industrial and computer systems.

The software has been built on the solid foundations of the Apache Iota project; Noteboom says using open source technologies can help start-ups like litbit grow at a faster pace, and reduce their costs.

The conversation took place at the DCD Webscale event in San Jose, California.
