David Marshall
David Marshall has been involved in the technology industry for over 19 years, and he's been working with virtualization software since 1999. He was able to become an industry expert in virtualization by becoming a pioneer in that field - one of the few people in the industry allowed to work with Alpha stage server virtualization software from industry leaders: VMware (ESX Server), Connectix and Microsoft (Virtual Server).
Through the years, he has invented, marketed and helped launch a number of successful virtualization software companies and products. David holds a BS degree in Finance, an Information Technology Certification, and a number of vendor certifications from Microsoft, CompTia and others. He's also co-authored two published books: "VMware ESX Essentials in the Virtual Data Center" and "Advanced Server Virtualization: VMware and Microsoft Platforms in the Virtual Data Center" and acted as technical editor for two popular Virtualization "For Dummies" books. With his remaining spare time, David founded and operates one of the oldest independent virtualization news blogs, VMblog.com. And co-founded CloudCow.com, a publication dedicated to Cloud Computing. Starting in 2009 and continuing all the way to 2016, David has been honored with the vExpert distinction by VMware for his virtualization evangelism.
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.
VeeamON 2024: A Shift Towards Cyber Resilience
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.
