With a fantastic session with DDN during the recent IT Press Tour in California early June with Paul Bloch, President and co-founder, and Sven Oehme, CTO, covering HPC Storage but above all AI Storage and all connected domains and challenges, I got the idea to extend this with a special talk with Sven. We spoke about the product strategy of course, ExaScaler and Infinia in details, new design requirements to deliver new performance levels, how their installed base and new customers adopt Infinia and of course spent some time on the directions and the future. A great episode I invite you to listen carefully. Enjoy, Thank you Sven.

Cohesity, I should say the NEW Cohesity, participated to The IT Press Tour for the 4th time and this moment was again key to learn about the current state of the union 6 months after the effective date last December. We had a dense meeting with Sanjay Poonen, CEO and President, and his executives team and based on that I decided to record a episode with Vasu Murthy, Cohesity's CPO. We spoke about the products convergence, roadmap, new features, synergies and what is coming... a very good and dense program that protects users' investment. This also confirms that Cohesity is now the market leader in terms of Enterprise Backup and Recovery Software based on revenue, market share and protected data volume. Enjoy the episode, a really good one with lots of info.

Participating to the Storage Technology Showcase for a few years, I decided this time to record a special interview with Quinn Mitchell, creator and owner of the conference. We spoke about the genesis of the event, the mission, goals, objectives and future directions. A very interesting episode to learn more about a unique conference in the industry. Enjoy, Thank you Quinn.
