As we hit this major milestone stage in our journey, our mission hasn't changed. We will continue to spearhead the future of data management within the Veeam Data Cloud (VDC) umbrella! I can't wait to see what the combined teams will accomplish. 2/4
Finally, I could not have done this without the support of many people including our amazing investors, the support of Anand Eswaran, the Veeam CEO, and the entire Alcion team including Vaibhav Kamra, my co-founder and partner across many data protection adventures! 3/4
We’re excited to announce that we’ve appointed @NirajTolia as CTO to accelerate innovation of #DataResilience as a Service. Read how he’ll spearhead the product strategy and engineering efforts for Veeam Data Cloud >> https://t.co/ggExPmdt2s
This morning, my wife left Orlando, Florida aboard @SouthwestAir flight 1630 (MCO to PHX).
She sat behind this man. She had been attending the Grace Hopper Conference all week and was resting her head on her tray table, trying to sleep a bit.
Let me tell you what happened.
Lots of folks wanted to advocate for (or against) repatriation but I agree with @martin_casado. This issue is overblown. Not a real priority or even a real concern unless one is a paper architect or "thought leader" without deliverables or has some VERY specific workloads. /2
