Posted on October 22, 2014October 22, 2014 by Luca Dell'Oca

Veeam has always been a great supporter of Tech Field Day. As a sponsor Veeam presented several times at various TFD events, and both me and my colleague Rick Vanover have been previously TFD delegates before joining Veeam. We had another opportunity to meet Stephen Foskett and to present at TFD during VMworld EMEA 2014 in Barcelona last week. We had a 1 hour meeting and it was a really pleasant meeting as always. This time, we used our slot to talk a little bit more in details of two new upcoming features in Veeam Backup & Replication v8.

Ho scoperto per la prima volta FlashSoft in occasione di Storage Field Day 3 a Denver: FlashSoft era stata acquisita da SanDisk nel Febbraio 2012, ed è stata sinceramente una sopresa scoprire che il colosso delle memorie Flash possedeva una divisione Enterprise, fatta di soluzioni come appunto FlashSoft e altre. Penso che come me, molti di voi hanno sempre abbinato il nome SanDisk alle memorie per dispositivi o alle chiavette USB…
Ho finalmente potuto dedicare un pò di tempo a studiare questa soluzione. Questo primo articolo è una descrizione del prodotto e delle sue caratteristiche.
