VMworld 2018 US Solutions Exchange - vendor visit videos
Laptop editing and hotel WiFi weren't exactly great for 4K video production and uploading, but I hope you find that the hardware close-ups were worth the wait!

Again this year, I had a lot of fun roaming around VMworld 2018 US with my iRig Mic, which does a solid job at keeping out the ambient noise that is typical at such conferences. If I'd only learn to not talk so loudly myself, which sometimes clipped my voice a bit. Hoping you won't notice, with all pixels of video, in 4K glory! Yeah, uploading over hotel WiFi was a many hour proposition
Admittedly, having booth duties and presentations/demos of my own this week keeps me focused on short videos of just a few vendors during the spare moments that I had. Hopefully you'll find the content of value, as I visit vendors of interest, completely unscripted. Yeah, I asked for permission to record first, but that was usually just moments before the camera was rolling, neither of us really knew what would happen. That's the fun of it!

Indeed, support for "deduplicating" encrypted backups is really the killer feature of our ReFS integration, and this is something neither external deduplicating storage nor Windows Server dedupe are able to do (and will never be able to). This is really a game changer, especially for Cloud Connect service providers. - Between Windows Server 2016 TPv3 and TPv4 we moved from ReFS version 2.0 to 3.0
