It's hard to believe that next week, thousands of people will make their way to the city of Chicago to discuss the latest in data center modernization using virtualization, storage and cloud technologies.  The event that's bringing everyone together is called VeeamON. 

There's a new expectation of data today. In a world where data is pouring in from every click, transaction and Internet of Things (IoT) device, it's not enough to collect, store and protect it all. Today's business demands data that is active, intelligent and Always-On.

Hyper-Availability is a new state of intelligence, where data delivers actionable insights that fuel increased productivity and faster innovation, while delivering better customer experiences that improve how we live and work.

VeeamON officially kicks off to the public May 14th and ends on May 16th.  To find out more about the event, I spoke with Veeam ahead of the show.
