  • Gartner’s 2026 MQ for Data Protection

    Gartner’s 2026 MQ for Data Protection

    Gartner’s latest MQ for Data Protection just dropped; go pull up the chart. The trio now appears as a quartet, but that isn’t the most interesting or actionable part of the story. Let’s talk about it.

  • Cybersecurity Summit 2026

    Cybersecurity Summit 2026

    The Official Cybersecurity Summit is one of my favorite single-stage conference series, especially this year with four Data Protection vendors showing on the expo floor – with special kudos to Rubrik and Commvault for some really interesting discussions on Cyber Resilience and more.

  • Thank You, Analyst Relations

    Thank You, Analyst Relations

    I’ve had the honor to participate in three very different events in the last three weeks. Each gave me the opportunity to serve, share ideas, and hopefully contribute value to the attendees. If you’d like to read more about the events, check out these blog posts:

  • Wrap-up on Backup from VeeamON 2017

    Wrap-up on Backup from VeeamON 2017

    Last week, I sat down with the folks at The Cube at VeeamON 2017 to talk about a range of topics including Veeam, the evolutions in the broader data protection market, and more. The Veeam Availability Report 2017, produced by ESG, covers over 1,000 unbiased enterprises around the world and looks at the gaps between…

    Wrap-up on Backup from VeeamON 2015 (Video)

    Wrap-up on Backup from VeeamON 2015 If your Director of IT came and told you that you needed to “Look for a backup/replication product that was built-for VMs,” you’d obviously look at Veeam. But what if your Director of IT asked you for ‘more,’ like: Recovery from hardware snapshots Basic protection for physical Windows endpoints…

    VMworld 2015 Had Some Great Marketing

    There was some great marketing execution at VMworld 2015. As a sequel to my blog last year that “Event Marketing Doesn’t Get Enough Credit,” here is my tip of the hat to some of the unsung heroes of tradeshows: the events planners and marketing leaders that ensure that the technology experts and sales folks have…

    Your SaaS Application needs to be Backed Up!

    As I mentioned in my Data Protection Predictions for 2015 video, SaaS backup should be on the top of anyone’s mind who is running for the clouds: namely Office 365, SalesForce, or GoogleApps. According to ESG’s 2015 IT Spending Intentions Survey‘s five-year outlook for SaaS, over half of IT organizations will move from on-premises Exchange…

  • Could VeeamON be the next MMS?

    Could VeeamON be the next MMS?

    This week is the first VeeamON, Availability for the Modern Data Center, conference in Las Vegas. As I listened to the side conversations and such, I was reminded of the special-ness of Microsoft Management Summit (MMS). Not MMS 2010+, when Microsoft started shoe-horning everything in the Server & Tools line-up, before eventually killing it and…

  • Event Marketing Folks Don’t Get Enough Credit

    Event Marketing Folks Don’t Get Enough Credit

    With 25 years of attending tradeshows and launch events, I can attest that the Marketing/Events team does not get enough credit. Of course, not all marketing events are awesome (or memorable) – but I wanted to highlight a few recent examples of how to really do a marketing event well: Launch Event: EMC ProtectPoint in…
