An interview with Olivier Robinne, Veeam EMEA Vice President
During VMworld Europe 2017 we had a chat about the future development and fate of their product with Olivier Robinne, Veeam EMEA VP.
VMWorld Europe 2017 started today in the classic congress venue of Barcelona.
As always, VMware participates with a number of announcements and new products: we will cover the most exciting news.
New VMware HCX technologies for portability and multi-cloud and multi-site integration are now available
VMware HCX is a technology that enables secure, fast and protected mobility and interoperability between different clouds, thus allowing the migration of big-sized applications without downtime. Being a new solution, it will be initially available on IMB and OVH platforms only, and accessible by means of VMware Cloud Providers.
VMworld 2016, the biggest and most important event about the VMware world, is going on these days in Las Vegas. This year’s motto is “be_TOMORROW”.
Among the most interesting topics introduced so far there’s the new VMware Cloud Foundation platform, a new architecture for the creation of cloud infrastructures. The new Cross-Cloud Architecture (still in Tech Preview) has been presented with vCloud Availability and vCloud Air Hybrid Cloud Manager. There are news also about a better integration between containers and the vSphere environment.
During the last VMworld Europe we met and interviewed Robbie Wright, Commonvault Senior Manager Product Marketing, who was there with the full team in charge of the development of the products of the american company. We had a nice chat with him.
How would you define your product line? Isn’t it reductive to talk about just backup solutions?
Yes, lots of people identify us with backups, but Commonvault’s solution is so broad and advanced that we can define it better by using three terms: data protection, management and compliance. In particular, we believe that the idea of backup itself is obsolete, here at VMworld we are speaking of Workload Portability, the opportunity of transferring the entire workload among different cloud services. The whole infrastructure becomes a single thing for us.
We’ve talked with Ditlev Bredahl, OnApp founder and CEO, during VMworld 2015 in Barcelona. This is what he told us.
Tell us about how the OnApp adventure began.
I founded OnApp in 2010. Before 2010, I was personally managing a Service Provider, i was providing several companies with hosting services and I decide to sell mine and dedicate to a new project. As Amazon Web Service continued to grow, I wanted to realise something that could compete with such colossus. No small cloud provider can compete with Amazon: it cannot provide the same global coverage, it’s not able to build an infrastructure that scales the same way and it can’t include in the offer all the services that Amazon proposes.
OnApp is a revolutionary service because it allows all the Service Provider of this world to ally creating a sort of federation, making a competition with Amazon possible.
