VMblog visits the Veeam booth during VMworld 2018 in Las Vegas to learn about Hyper-Availability and demo the Veeam Availability Suite.

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.

VMblog visits the Quali booth during VMworld 2018 in Las Vegas to find out more about DevOps Automation and CloudShell 9.0.

Quali was demonstrating the latest version of their software CloudShell 9.0. Just as you can pause a Netflix movie and resume seeing it later, they have the ability to save and restore environments which preserves state and allows tremendous efficiencies with a high re-usability factor.

Also recognizing the fact that the world is increasingly becoming multi-cloud and several enterprises have built their own private and proprietary clouds, they've made it very easy to add such cloud deployments in a seamless manner with as little or as much customization as they require. So in addition to their “out-of-the-box” cloud offerings that include VMware, OpenStack, AWS, Azure, Oracle etc., customers and partners can deploy complex applications in the cloud of their choice, offering environment-as-a-service to their developers and testers. They call these cloud provider templates.
