The panel discussion with experts from HPE, Veeam, and Softchoice was focused on how an integrated data availability approach can enable you to do more while focusing on your business continuity priorities. The discussion featured how you can efficiently support infrastructure performance management and consumption by radically simplifying your IT, delivering maximum application uptime, and freeing up resources. This becomes more pertinent in the current uncertain times as organizations must rapidly adjust to more urgent demands and risks than ever before. 

Here are some of the key questions that were discussed:

• How you can get cloud-like benefits of fast deployment, scalability, and             pay-per-use economics with on-premise control?
• How companies like Philips, Mastercard, and Dropbox are getting the benefits of on-premise as service?
• How to create a backup strategy for a modern data center?
• What to look in a Backup as a Service (BaaS) partner?

The panelists also talked about how combining Veeam with HPE Infosight and Greenlake will reduce risk and ensure resilience with integrated end-to-end data availability solutions
