The way things were going, it didn't seem likely that I'd be attending Cloud Field Day 7 but that's the way things are in the Tech Field Day family and all of a sudden, I am also a part of this instalment now. As you would expect these days, the event will be held [...]
There has been a major shift in how applications are developed, tested and deployed in recent years. Such is the need for speed in today's fast-paced product release cycle that in addition to development methodologies, it has also changed the architecture in which they are deployed. Transition to this new development paradigm will be gradual [...]
Object storage is plentiful, durable and cheap. That makes it the ideal storage mechanism for long-term or archive storage. In fact, it's so cost-efficient that many traditional storage appliances, primarily targetted at on-premises environments, also make use of object-based storage to achieve cost-efficiencies. With all this data stored on object storage and on a cloud [...]

While attending VMworld US this time, I was invited by Stephen to participate in Tech Field Day Extra. I had recently enjoyed Cloud Field Day very much so I had to say yes. Actually, this presentation wasn't one that I was actually scheduled to attend but I happened to be there at the time so [...]
For Cloud Field Day 4, we were invited to Cohesity and were greeted with a very nice breakfast and who would have thought cake could taste that good, that early in the morning! Cohesity has now become a veteran of Tech Field Day events and knows exactly what/how to present to those delegates. While the [...]
