I’m looking forward to learning more about the 4 Keys to Avoiding the Hidden Costs of Cloud Adoption. I know Commvault has talked a lot in recent months but I’d interested to see how audiences respond to it. #CVchat #ReadyForAny

Check out INF6250-SPO - Beyond Cloud Backup: Enabling Disaster Recovery and Workload Portability. Robbie explains why cloud backup isn’t just a feature you “turn on”.

@datadefiner I’m excited for “4 Keys to Avoiding the Hidden Costs of Cloud Adoption” #CVchat #ReadyforAny

A1: Organizations often talk of hidden costs so I’m interested in how the audience responds to Commvault’s 4 keys to avoiding the hidden costs of cloud adoption session #CVchat #ReadyforAny

I'm looking forward to the #devops content and new updates on vCloud and how that impacts storage and networking

"Definitely Beyond Cloud Backup"#CVchat #ReadyforAny

@MHarveyCVLT Agreed, Melissa!

Interesting blog by @Commvault 's Phil Curran on this here: http://bit.ly/1U6FCf... #VMworld

Just like I don't leave the water running in my house 24x7, neither should your (unused) VMs run 24x7. Easy with @Commvault software!

they should consider DR to the cloud. @commvault can help you #cvchat #vmworld

Another example: Retiring stale VMs. Great for legacy apps / guest OS / etc. (e.g. - SQL 2008 on W2k3)

.@SobeCabreraCVLT yes, they should! :) #CVchat #ReadyForAny

You need to understand your data first.

A6: Let's 1st define it: Cloud backups involve placing data on off-site storage ... (1/2)

A6: that is owned and maintained by a third-party vendor who charges a fee based on the service level provided to the user. (2/2)

A6: LOTS of benefits: greater flexibility and reliability. Biggest challenge I've experienced is the initial 'seeding' of data to the cloud provider.

A6 - there is some increased expectation of availability I think. so tape replacement but with some more advantages is what i hear. it's not all faster often due to bandwidth but select access can be better

.@DataDefiner @gregorydwhite great insights! #CVchat #ReadyForAny

And @gregorydwhite -- WAN bandwidth is often a factor.

@datadefiner you're using backup and archive synonymously. Different tactics but both can be cloud-forward. #CommvaultCan #CVchat #ReadyforCloud

also helps if the provider can be a target for restore to the cloud, to help eliminate managing infrastructure at DR site

re/code has a good scoop on this today: http://recode.net/20...

John, I'm more interested in talking about @Commvault as a true independent and trusted advisor to companies about Data Protection. Rumors or not -- customers want focus on their success, not their vendor's #CVChat #CommvaultVM

Sounds like EMC has enough on their plate but I'll believe it when I see it.

I agree Bill this story is a distraction to the value being created

News on VMware's implementation of containers should be interesting. #devops

Containers is definitely something I want to get more understanding around and how they are being used and the data management implications

I love it all, but since I'm not into networking, the NSX sessions aren't on my radar.

I hear you! But not b/c I don't love my networking peeps out there. They are the DOT for data!

Not as formal session but I'm curious to see what's going to come out of the hosted hackathon

@Angela_L_S Great point, Angela!

Recent releases of VMware Virtual Volumes (vVols) and VMware Virtual SAN (vSAN) have added new challenges to implementing datastores.

this will impact the buying and deployments esp with workload mobility being the top priority so the architectures need take that into consideration

and how do we know the data is protected for every SLA – and not just in your virtual infrastructure

A3: Like to see more business-level discussions on financials, sales, human resources, etc.
