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.

267 - Talk with Vasu Murthy, CPO, Cohesity
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.

265 - Interview with Nitin Bhadauria, Founder, Lucidity
I follow Lucidity since they wen tout of stealth and became visible on the market and I was intrigued by the mechanism they used behind. Lucidity decided to join the recent 62nd edition of The IT Press Tour in California to launch their new product Lumen, a block tiering solution in addition to AutoScaler, their current and first product. In this episode with Nitin Bhadauria, founder of Lucidity with Vatsal Rastogi, we cover the genesis of the project, what challenges the team wish to solve, how the 2 product work, where and how they're deployed, their go-to-market model and pricing philosophy and of course cover a bit of the future directions. A very interesting talk and I invite you to watch carefully Lucidity. Enjoy the listening, thank you Nitin.

264 - Tape Evolution with the last LTO-10 Tape Drive
The LTO Consortium has made a significant step with the LTO-10 and a few vendors have announced its availability with, again, some disappointments as it offers only 30TB raw. If you consider the original roadmap it represents a big drop. I discuss all these points in this episode as tape is today only considered for archive and deep archive with a key advantage, its cost associated with its nature being a passive media. Enjoy.
