Today’s South West UK VMUG was sponsored by HPE and StorMagic. HPE spoke to the VMUG audience about Infosight their Storage analytics platform included today within their Nimble storage solutions but coming to other HPE product lines in the future.
StorMagic was one of my favorite presentations they spoken about their virtual storage platform that is designed for small, RoBo and IoT use cases. Their platform is designed to deliver high levels of availability with options for SSD caching and encryption for small virtual environments.
Here is the doodle.
Alongside the sponsors we also had presentations from VMware’s Adam Boyle on vSphere and vSAN 6.7, VMware’s Lukas Winn and VMUG Leader Jeremy Bowman on GDPR / ISO 27001
At vRetreat March 2018 we heard from Zerto regarding their latest release version 6.0. Version 6.0 further increases their functionality as multi-cloud data protection, replication and migration solution.
Below is a whiteboard video that I have recently recorded looking at how the Zerto replication technology works on premises. In the future I will create videos creating the other replication methods.
