#69 – IP EXPO 2018 – Cloudian, E8 Storage, StorCentric and Zerto

5 October 2018 by Chris Evans 1 Comment

This is one of two podcasts, recorded live at IP EXPO 2018 in London.  The format is slightly different from what we’ve done in the past, in that we have four short 10-minute interviews with storage vendors.  Each talks about their company, products and industry problem being solved.

The four guests are:

  • Steve Blow, Technology Evangelist with Zerto
  • Neil Stobart, VP Global Systems Engineering at Cloudian
  • Julie Herd, Director of Technical Marketing at E8 Storage
  • Read Fenner, VP Global Sales for Nexsan and Drobo & Mark Walker, Channel Sales Director (Nexsan) from StorCentric

These interviews are recorded live, so there’s no editing and obviously with such a busy show floor, there is background noise.  Let us know if you think this format of production is something we should do more, and if there are any specific companies to interview.

Elapsed Time: 00:44:15
