Velostrata and Sandisk customer case study - vmworld 2016
While at VMworld 2016, VMblog takes part in a great customer case study discussion between Velostrata co-founder and CEO, Issy Ben-Shaul, and Velostrata customer, Sandisk. The pair discusses how Sandisk became a customer, the business problems they were trying to solve before working with Velostrata, the short and long term business benefits Sandisk has received by using Velostrata, and more.
Founded in 2014, Velostrata provides software solutions that give enterprises cloud workload mobility. Velostrata's founders realized that many of the issues that kept enterprises from adopting public cloud for production workloads centered around the risk, cost, time, and complexity of migrating storage. So, they asked the fundamental question, "why not decouple compute from storage?"
