Christos Karamanolis is a VMware Fellow and the CTO of the Storage and Availability Business Unit. More or less that means he's a smart technical person who has a great deal of responsibility around VSAN, amongst other VMware efforts. In this podcast we dive into momentum around VSAN, what's new besides data reduction in VSAN 6.2 (yes, there's much more), impact of flash on VSAN, interesting use cases for VSAN including a really stretched stretch cluster and much more.
