  • New Veritas = New Vision

    September 15, 2016

    This week, the newly unencumbered Veritas (from Symantec) relaunched its premier user event – Veritas Vision. There was a palpable energy that resonated around “we’re back and ready to resume our leadership mantle,” starting with an impressive day one from main stage: Bill Coleman (CEO) started the event by making “information is everything” personal by…

  • “Tape” is not a four-letter word

    June 22, 2016

  • Hyperconverged Infrastructure for BCDR using EVO RAIL

    November 26, 2014

    Shortly after VMware announced its EVO Rail initiative, whereby hardware partners could start delivering a very dense compute, storage, and networking solution within a wholly-contained appliance – I started exploring the data protection aspects of an EVO Rail solution.  The nice folks in ESG’s video studio have produced a whole series on this … in…
