It was a busy show for more than 2000 attendees this year at VeeamON in Chicago, where Veeam unveiled its vision for the Hyper-Available Enterprise and their strategy to provide a comprehensive platform for intelligent data management at massive scale. 

It was also a busy show for HPE and its staffers!  The team delivered 17 in-booth theatre presentations, with record numbers of attendees. They heard about a range of topics, including information on:

• The new HPE Nimble Adaptive Flash array
• HPE Storage strategy and leadership
• Cloud-Ready enablement
• Optimizing investments and improving ROI with HPE PointNext Advisory and Professional Services for Veeam. 

Our resident HPE Storage blogger Calvin Zito, recorded a podcast with Andrew Dickerson at VeeamON on the hot topic of Ransomware where Andrew gave some great tips on how to mitigate the risk of Ransomware.
