Are you attending VMworld 2019 in San Francisco, CA? If so, I invite you to add Veeam to your MUST SEE list of vendors.
With so many vendors exhibiting at VMworld, how do you know which
booths
to visit
and who to get on your busy schedule? For us, that's simple... Veeam. VMblog has been following Veeam for over a decade. Their Hyper-Availability Platform is one of the most complete solutions around that helps customers on the journey to automating data management and ensuring the Hyper-Availability of data. Just ask their more than 355,000 customers worldwide!
Read this exclusive pre-show interview with Veeam to learn what they have
planned for the
upcoming VMworld 2019 event.
VMblog: As a VMworld
2019 sponsor, how can people find you this year?
Veeam: Look for
the biggest, brightest, GREEN booth. That's an easy way to find Veeam.
VMblog: What is
your booth #?
Veeam: 627.
VMblog: What
sponsorship level are you?
Veeam: We'll be
sponsoring our 12th year at VMworld as Platinum.
VMblog: How big
of a booth do you have?
Veeam: 30x30.
VMblog: How many
people do you plan on sending?
Veeam: Close to
100 of our best Veeam'ers are heading to San Francisco to engage with our
customers, prospects and partners about our leading backup solutions that
deliver Cloud Data Management.
VMblog: Is
there anything unique about this year's booth setup? Do you have a theme?
Veeam: We are so excited to show
off our new booth at VMworld! It's custom-built using 6" square
aluminum box tube and finished in a durable white pebble powder coat.
LED curtain technology allows for large scale motion
graphics and text and 25mm pixel pitch strips allow for approximately 60%
transparency so that visitors can "see through" the curtains and into
the booth. Each LED wall is double-sided, enabling different messaging on
the inside and outside of the booth. Media servers provide multiple
messaging options on any wall, with ultimate flexibility to change or vary
messaging on a real-time basis. Demos are equipped with 50" all-in-one
touchscreen monitors, as well as working whiteboards.The theatre includes
seating for up to 20 people. A/V hardware includes an 85" all-in-one
touchscreen monitor, and digital sound system c/w wireless microphones.
VMblog: Can you
give readers a few reasons why your product or service is considered
unique?
Veeam: Flexibility
and portability. For VMware environments being able to perform instant VM
recovery and restore directly to VMware Cloud on AWS, or other multi-cloud
platforms, is a key driver.
VMblog: Why
should a VMworld attendee add you to their MUST SEE list?
Veeam: We will
have amazing booth giveaways, interactive product demos, and our legendary VMworld
party Tuesday night, featuring Andy Grammer.
VMblog: Can you
give VMblog readers a sneak peek as to what you will be showing off at your
booth this year? What should attendees expect to see and hear at your
booth?
Veeam: We will be showcasing our leading backup solutions that enable Cloud Data
Management, specifically the latest features of Veeam® Availability SuiteTM which delivers
Availability for ALL workloads - virtual, physical and cloud.
VMblog: How
does your company and product fit within the VMware ecosystem?
Veeam: Veeam
created the VMware backup market and has dominated it for the last decade. Veeam has been a VMware partner
since our very beginning. As an Independent Software Vendor, we provide a
better Availability experience for the data centers where VMware (and other
technologies) run. This is a strong partnership. This can be seen by our VMware
vSAN certification, support for VMware Cloud on AWS, and other new offerings
from VMware. All continue to show our commitment to deep integration with
VMware; arguably the very best for our space.
VMblog: What are
you looking forward to most at VMworld this year?
Veeam: Meeting
and networking with customers and partners with a like-minded perspective.
VMworld is one of the greatest technology conferences of the year and having
the opportunity to spend time with customers and partners is a great
opportunity for real feedback and discussion, and this is also a great also
gives Veeam an ideal time for us to stay ‘thank you.'
VMblog: What
would you say to prospective attendees who are thinking about attending VMworld
but aren't sure if it's worth it or not?
Veeam: There is no event that has a more concentrated data center ecosystem
present. If data center technologies from many vendors make up a prospective
attendee's responsibilities, this is the event to choose.
VMblog: What
do you think we need to do collectively as an ecosystem to strengthen the
industry?
Veeam: More
APIs and more integration.
VMblog: Do
you have any tips for first time attendees of VMworld that you'd like to share?
Veeam: Wear
comfy shoes. You spend all day on your feet walking between buildings and
session rooms and comfy shoes are a must!
VMblog: Attendees
always enjoy a good trade show tchotchke. Are you guys giving away
anything special or interesting this year?
Veeam: We are
giving away a phone Roomba at our booth. We are also raffling 2 full-sized Roombas
and, who doesn't want a Veeam t-shirt?
VMblog: Does your
company have any speaking sessions during the show? If so, can you give
us the who, what, when and where?
