Are you attending VMworld 2018 in Las Vegas, NV?  If so, I invite you to add Veeam to your MUST SEE list of vendors. 

With so many vendors exhibiting at VMworld, how do you know which booths to visit and who to get on your busy schedule?  For years now, one of my MUST SEE vendors has always been the green team of Veeam.  Back in May of this year, VMblog had a fantastic time at their annual event, VeeamON 2018, where we learned so much and had a lot of fun doing it.  With the hyper-growth and hyper-sprawl of today’s data, traditional data management is not enough.  Data must become Hyper‑Available.  Getting there requires a new approach that merges the traditional disciplines of data backup and recovery, data protection and data security.  Moving from policy-based to behavior-based management to make data both intelligent, and ultimately, self-governing.  And that's where Veeam comes into play.
