VMblog speaks with Danny Allan, Chief Technology Officer and Senior Vice President for Product Strategy about day two at the company's VeeamON 2022 event in Las Vegas.
Allan highlights current and future-ready Veeam innovations as part of VeeamON 2022, including Veeam Backup & Replication v12, Veeam Backup for Salesforce and Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 v7. Allan describes the modern data explosion taking place and all the things we can do and problems we can solve with that data. Security and ransomware were hot topics during day 2 of the VeeamON event.
