    • I had a really nice opportunity to discuss the latest update to Veeam Endpoint Backup FREE, as it relates to:

    1. the recent release of Microsoft Windows 10
    2. concerns some folks have over the use Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB (Rick mentions that it's lightweight, and not responsible for Change Block Tracking (CBT))
    3. is it free, and will it stay free

    During my time with Rick yesterday, also had the honor to learn that I'm now in the Veeam Vanguard Program. Take a look to see who else is on there, it's quite a list.

    After 6 successful years testing then shipping well over 1,000 Xeon D Bundles, Wiredzone had to stop selling them in mid-2021 due to cost, supply, and logistics challenges. So far, Xeon D-1700/2700 (Ice Lake D) was a minor refresh for 2023, with Xeon D-1800/2800 (Granite Rapids D) refresh looking a little better for 2024. More cores, but still just PCIe Gen4 and DDR4. Looking ahead, I'm glad it's Pat Gelsinger at Intel's helm. I'm also grateful to have had the honor of working at VMware when Pat was the CIO there. I'll leave it at that, given the whole Broadcom thing.
