VeeamON - New International Conference for Virtual Infrastructure Administrators

Many respected IT companies hold their conferences annually - remember, for example, Microsoft, Cisco, Google and VMware. We at Veeam decided to keep up with “fashion trends” and organize our own international IT conference in the field of virtualization and data protection - VeeamON .

When and where? The conference will be held October 6-8, 2014 in Las Vegas (yes, that same Las Vegas; yes, in the USA).

For whom? For our like-minded professionals in the administration, implementation and management of virtual server backup systems, for Veeam community and for everyone who is close and interested in the topic of virtualization and data protection.

What will happen? A rich mix of sessions, trainings, workshops and an exhibition of technologies from leading world vendors, seasoned with noisy parties, lively conversations and interesting meetings.

Under the cut is the conference program, the practical guide “How to get to VeeamON in Las Vegas for free,” as well as the announcement of new contests from Veeam.

Disclaimer

Immediately make a reservation, the event is international, and therefore purely English-speaking. Unfortunately, there will not be a running line with a translation into Russian at the conference, but you will have a great opportunity to “pull up” your English and chat with virtualization gurus and specialists from all over the world, exchange experiences and expand your network of contacts.

Information on all links from this post is also available only in English.

Hey birdie, fly with me - there are a lot of goodies!

I already see how some of you are booking plane tickets, while others are reaching for their suitcases - right, you have to go, it will be interesting! Presentations and master classes are prepared by leading world experts in the field of virtualization and data protection in virtual environments.

The main sessions will be held in two directions - technical and business-oriented, which means that useful information will be found both for engineers, system architects and administrators, as well as for heads of IT departments.

Topics for discussion were chosen not only by experts, but also by our users - we specially organized a small survey so that everyone could share their opinions. For the seed, I’ll say that we will discuss issues of data migration for Hyper-V and Windows Server 2012 R2, Veeam and NetApp integration, the subtleties of deduplication when backing up data, the possibility of PowerShell scripts, building effective data protection systems based on Veeam Backup & Replication, advanced backup and restore options for SQL servers and much, much more. You can familiarize yourself with the full program of reports on the VeeamON portal , and at the same time I recommend that you subscribe to VeeamON news - whoever owns the information, owns the world.

So I live like this ...

This is what the venue of VeeamON looks like - it is an ultramodern Cosmopolitan complex, in which there are only 13 (!) Restaurants, several swimming pools, shops and in general everything you can imagine. By the way, conference guests can live right in this hotel on special conditions from Veeam (read - at a discount) and feel like the kings of Las Vegas.

The VeeamON organization is in full swing, and in addition to the official part, we are preparing a Veeam-style super-mega party. As it happens, judge for yourself:

So I advise you to catch luck by the tail and register for the draw - not every day there are such chances!
