In the ever-evolving landscape of enterprise technology, staying ahead of the curve is not just an advantage-it's a necessity. For IT professionals looking to sharpen their skills, expand their network, and gain insights into the future of cloud computing and virtualization, VMware Explore 2024 stands out as the must-attend event of the year.

With a theme of "Set your sights higher," the event is scheduled for August 26-29, 2024 and takes place in Las Vegas, Nevada at the Venetian Convention Center and Expo Center. VMware Explore 2024 promises to be a cornerstone gathering for technologists, innovators, and industry leaders. This year's event is poised to showcase the latest advancements in multi-cloud strategies, app modernization, and the ever-expanding role of AI in IT operations.

This event also marks the first VMware Explore since the acquisition by Broadcom. Attendees will get a much better picture as to what direction Broadcom will be taking VMware, beyond what we already know. Will this be the last VMware Explore? Who knows, but we hope not. And that might be the best reason of all to make sure you attend this year.

Broadcom Inc., which recently acquired VMware, previewed highlights of VMware Explore 2024, the industry's essential cloud event. VMware Explore 2024 will kick-off in Las Vegas on August 26-29, 2024 at The Venetian Convention and Expo Center. That event will be followed by VMware Explore 2024 in Barcelona, Spain on November 4-7, 2024 at the Fira Gran Via.

This week, Veeam hosted its annual user conference, VeeamON 2024, at the Diplomat Beach Resort in Hollywood, Florida. The focus of the event was clear: Veeam is transitioning from a data backup provider to a comprehensive cyber resilience solution company.

Over the three-day event, Veeam was able to showcase the company's latest innovations in data protection, cloud integration, and artificial intelligence (AI). The event provided a platform for Veeam executives to share their vision and unveil new offerings designed to address the evolving needs of its customers in an ever-changing technology landscape. And two of those Veeam executives that VMblog had the pleasure to sit down with were Rick Vanover, VP of Product Strategy, and Shiva Pillay, GM and SVP of Americas.

Scality provides object storage for on-premises IT infrastructure. Organizations looking to store and manage critical peta-byte scale data turn to Scality to help them manage and store their unstructured data stores.

In this exclusive VeeamON 2024 interview, VMblog sits down with Candida Valois, field CTO at Scality, to explore their cutting-edge technology and their strategic partnership with Veeam. Valois sheds light on the features and advantages of Scality's technology and discusses their partnership and how they collaborate with Veeam.

In recent years, Scality has expanded its offering to include cyber-resilient storage solutions that protect data against AI-fueled ransomware. Scality ARTESCA is simple and secure S3 object storage that is built for Veeam to provide ransomware-proof backups; it's designed to provide the strongest form of data immutability plus five levels of cyber resiliency-that Scality refers to as the CORE5.

Valois says ARTESCA is optimized specifically for Veeam and supports all of its object storage capabilities. It is purpose-built for Veeam users and available as a turnkey integrated hardware appliance, making it the easiest-to-deploy solution on the market.

In an era where data is the lifeblood of organizations, safeguarding it has become paramount. The need for modern, resilient backup and recovery systems is more significant than ever, especially in the face of rising cyber threats like ransomware. Enter Object First, founded by the co-founders of Veeam-Ratmir Timashev and Andrei Baronov, and the creators of Ootbi (out-of-the-box immutability).

In this exclusive VeeamON 2024 interview, VMblog sits down with Anthony Cusimano, Technical Marketing Director at Object First, to explore their cutting-edge technology and their strategic partnership with Veeam.

In this video, Cusimano explores the features and advantages of Object First's technology, and discusses their collaboration and partnership with Veeam.

Ootbi is an object storage appliance built for backup and, even more specifically, for Veeam. It takes less than 15 minutes to configure, requires zero security and Linux expertise, and no additional setup or namespace adjustment is needed at the Veeam layer when scaled.

Capacity and performance scale linearly when adding additional nodes, supporting backup speeds up to 4.0 gigabytes per second with up to half a petabyte of storage space. Ootbi was designed to empower Veeam Backup & Replication and supports Veeam's standard block size and encryption by default.
