Podcast appearances and mentions of rick vanover

As the use of AI spreads outside the cloud and datacenter, data management and protection has never been more important. This episode of Utilizing Tech, sponsored by Solidigm, features Rick Vanover of Veeam discussing the importance of data protection with hosts Stephen Foskett⁠⁠ and Scott Shadley⁠. Data protection for backup and security is familiar in the datacenter but is not always considered at the edge. But as AI and sensors push data to the edge, we have to consider how to protect and manage it. Edge AI systems combine elements of endpoint, datacenter, and cloud technologies and often have limited or intermittent connectivity, creating a differentiated platform that challenges data protection software. Mixing these capabilities to build a useful platform is the key challenge for data protection at the edge. Data protection at the edge is different, with continuity and recovery from outages and attacks more important than long-term preservation of data, and IT pros are beginning to adjust their perspectives on the requirements for these systems as well.Guest:⁠Rick Vanover⁠, Vice President of Product Strategy at ⁠Veeam⁠Hosts: ⁠⁠Stephen Foskett⁠⁠, President of the Tech Field Day Business Unit and Organizer of the ⁠Tech Field Day Event Series⁠⁠⁠Scott Shadley⁠⁠, Leadership Narrative Director and Evangelist at ⁠Solidigm⁠Follow Tech Field Day ⁠⁠on LinkedIn⁠⁠, ⁠⁠on X/Twitter,⁠⁠ ⁠⁠on Bluesky⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠on Mastodon⁠⁠.

On this episode, we discuss the vital role of backup in the fight against ransomware. We talk about immutability, what isolation can do, and whether we're doomed to using tape stored in Antarctica. Our guests are Tony Gent, Product Manager for Availability and Protection at Proact, and Rick Vanover, senior director of product strategy at Veeam.

After the recent stories about Veeam customers being directly targeted by the Conti ransomware group, we invited Rick Vanover and Dave Russell from Veeam to discuss the topic on the podcast. The stories in the press seemed to focus on the attack, as well as how ruthless the Conti ransomware gang tends to be. We thought we'd give Veeam a chance to explain exactly what Veeam customers can do to protect their backups from being exfiltrated and deleted. It seems that Rick, Dave, and company are doing everything they can to explain to all Veeam customers that this is something they should pay attention to. The following are two resources they said should prove useful: Ransomware in 2022: 7 Capabilities You Need for Rapid and Reliable Recovery https://bit.ly/3m32gI8 5 Ransomware Protection Best Practices https://bit.ly/3nh7aAx

In episodes 87 of the IoT For All Podcast, we sit down with Rick Vanover, Senior Director of Product Strategy at Veeam as he shares some insight into data management and protection in IoT.Rick Vanover is the Director of Technical Product Marketing & Evangelism at Veeam Software. His experience includes system administration and IT management; with virtualization being the central theme of his career. To start the episode, Rick gave us a bit of background on Veeam. Veeam is a leader in backup solutions that deliver cloud data management; it provides a single platform for modernizing backups, accelerating hybrid cloud, and securing data.Rick also shared that, for most companies, the management and protection of data tends to be a huge oversight. Besides compliance or performance measurements, data backup can be vital to operations. “If you’ve ever deployed an IoT solution, you know that if something goes wrong, it could put the whole ROI in jeopardy.” Rick said, “and the data can be the saving grace there.” He referred specifically to log files, which can give a clue into what has happened with a solution or a piece of machinery and give key insights into what went wrong.For many companies, Rick said you have to start by looking at the data and determining where it is, and what needs to be kept. “Think of an IoT solution you have in your organization, where is the data lake, where is the data you care about - how do we protect it, how do we manage it, do you even have visibility into it?”Changing gears, Rick spoke to some of his typical customer engagements. Most customers, he said, come to Veeam with a solution that’s already been built and a clear purpose in why the data needs to be kept - often compliance issues or to troubleshoot. “It becomes a laser-focused discussion on where’s the data that matters and how do we protect it,” Rick said. But the outcomes are best when they get to be involved in the earlier processes - thinking about data before the solution has been built or deployed. Ultimately, though, Rick said that Veeam is there when companies need them, regardless of the stage of the project. “The reality is, we have the opportunity to come in and be the hero and provide the tools that scrape up even the minimum amount of data to keep it protected.”One of the biggest challenges associated with backing up data for IoT is how custom the solutions are. “Veeam software can deploy very consistently to very different environments, but the opposite is true in the IoT space,” Rick said, “there’s very few consistent deployments - it’s a very fragmented industry with a lot of home-grown solutions.” That means sometimes implementing some extra steps to both find and backup data.To close out the podcast, Rick shared his advice for companies building IoT solutions - what to think about when they’re considering what data to back up and how, as well as some of the considerations they should take into account when deciding between cloud and edge computing, in relation to their data storage and management.Interested in connecting with Rick?

I have a very comprehensive podcast with my friend and industry colleague Rick Vanover. In the podcast we take a deep dive into Veeam and HPE, focusing on the Veeam version 10 release as well as looking at integration between HPE Storage and Veeam. If you didn't know, we were the first company that Veeam did snapshot integration with back in 2012.

While the general cloud trends appear to be consistent in adoption, there are subtle changes occuring that will ultimately shape how public cloud is being consumed. Rick Vanover, Sr. Director Product Strategy at Veeam, joins us to discuss the emerging differentiation between the big cloud players and how it's impacting decisions today.

It’s part two of our new year look ahead last week we looked at areas such as tech company consolidation, more acceptance of the move to cloud and maybe even the death of blockchain.

I caught up with Rick Vanover from Veeam Software at VMworld and got an update on the latest as well as learned a new word, preponed.

Rick Vanover, with Veeam Software, shares with us his key principles and beliefs that have made the Veeam Vanguard Program so successful. The program is in its third year, and has 61 members, with a very high engagement rate in activities and outings, such as the VeeamOn event. Rick talks up the importance of starting small, picking your team wisely, and using your intuition, rather than only going by quantitative metrics. The Veeam Vanguard Program features creative and trusted leaders who see some of the following benefits in joining a unique program that only competes with itself, instead of other programs. Who we are: Influence Marketing Podcast, a podcast brought to you by the Influence Marketing Council, an industry council for B2B or tech brands that drive innovation, and influencer, advocacy, and community marketing. We are your hosts, John Mark Troyer and Kathleen Nelson Troyer. Together, we are looking forward to working closely with a select number of startups and enterprise tech companies to develop their best practices, discovering what their marketing programs have in common and working with the council members how they drive innovation between these programs and the rest of their business. It’s part of our research program, and also just our curiosity to have a conversation around influence marketing in the B2B space. We will be surveying and gathering our research from people who run advocacy and influencer programs, to find out what makes them tick. Key Takeaways: [2:50] Rick’s nickname, is the Rickatron! [5:32] Rick and his team administer the Veeam Vanguard Program. This is the third Veeam Vanguard class. There are currently 61 members. Rick was a longtime employee at Veeam before he started this program. Before that he worked at a bank. [6:24] Some of Rick’s advice for getting a program off the ground: start small. Less is more — start with a manageable scope where you know you can be successful. When they launched the Vanguard program they kept it low key and small, and are growing it at a manageable pace over the past three years. [8:03] Their selection mechanism profiles people on different factors such as: internal advocacy, initiation of user groups, social sharing, running community events, and suggestions from other Vanguards and program leaders. Candidates are also welcome and encouraged to reapply. [12:30] Rick shares how the Veeam event, VeeamOn, started and grew into a great community event, and how getting into other cloud native communities helps him bring fresh and new ideas to the Veeam community. He does not feel groups should compete with one another, but instead should strive to be their own best and learn from each other. [14:46] Rick’s main goal to address is geo-distribution. He takes great responsibility in making sure the program is diverse in all ways with gender, location, etc. He would liketo expand and cover more in several countries, such as Japan and Africa. [18:47] The Vanguard is explained as the persona who is an advocate on the company’s behalf, is an evangelist, and is trusted to be neutral out in the community, with an emphasis on creativeness, trust and support. [26:00] His front and center goal is to give his Vanguards an outstanding experience. [30:28] One Vanguard, Kerstin, helps immensely with providing a catalog of cool and unique swag members can choose from. [34:17] Veeam Champions and Veeam Expert Clubs are separate groups, and the Vanguard program encompasses all of those groups, and houses them under its umbrella. [36:17] Rick feels Delta is an example of a company that gives good engagement with customer service questions and responses on Twitter. [38:51] Some of the benefits Vanguards get include access to information early in press releases, webinars, announcements, and top secret product launches! He trusts them to not reveal any information before it is appropriate to do so. [40:41] Continuing to innovate and expand the program is of the utmost importance. New ways to embellish the program include working with partners to keep the program fresh, and providing opportunities for Vanguard members to speak at community events. [42:00] Rick doesn’t think there is competition for influence marketing programs. Every program can share, and benefit from each other, but he strives to make the program as good as possible, through the people on his team and the Vanguards himself. He was surprised how willing people are to say yes to attending VeeamOn events and webinars. When programs are bigger people may engage less. [44:31] They don’t have a community manager, so now everyone is on triage working all angles, like Slack, Twitter, writing, presenting, and working in the labs. Ideally there would be one community manager, but for now this system works!

One of the biggest challenges we face in technology is constant change. Change is not bad of course, but it presents challenges, from upgrading operating systems and applications, to integrating the latest technology advancements, to responding to new business problems and opportunities. The IT industry is full of stories of companies who had great technologies but have then been blindsided by a shift in the needs of their customer base, or a technology trend that they failed to anticipate. It was with this in mind that I visited Veeam's, VeeamON conference. Veeam are a technology success story, a vendor who arrived into the already established data protection market and shifted how people looked at it. They recognised the impact virtualisation was having on how organisations of all types where deploying their infrastructures and how traditional protection technologies where failing to evolve to meet these new needs. But now Veeam's market is changing, how are they going to react to that? For this week's podcast, I look at that very question and discuss Veeam's future with Rick Vanover, Director of Technical Product Marketing & Evangelism. We discuss their repositioning as an availability company, look at how Veeam are developing a range of solutions to give them an availability platform and how this platform will allow their customers to build a strategy, to not only protect their critical data assets, in a range of different data repositories, but will also allow them to move their data seamlessly between them. Do Veeam have a good strategy to remain relevant? - I Think so, but, as ever, their success will be dependent on their ability to execute that strategy. I hope you enjoy the show and of course the new theme tune! For show notes check out techstringy.com - http://wp.me/p4IvtA-115
