Garbage Collection #3 – Storage Predictions for 2017

In this podcast, recorded in February, but finally being published in March, Chris, Martin and new host Gavin talk about what happened in 2016 and what’s coming up in 2017.  Of course some of these predictions may seem prescient, being some 4 weeks after the recording!  However this is a fast changing industry as we all know.
