which a lot of other sand backup appliances, they either bring de-dupe, which is ultimately going to slow things down, or they're just spinning disc, which is what the E-Series was before, but they've recognized that they could use this as a backup target and be able to leverage that.

And Veeam have jumped right on that.

And that's why we've got...

A data sheet going out, as I mentioned, at the top of the show around those express packs and what they bring, what features and benefits they bring together.

And also I'm working on a performance white paper with ACASH, one of your E-series TMEs, and actually working out how many instant VM recoveries, and maybe I'll touch on what instant VM recovery is, but...

Ultimately, how fast can we restore either a subset of virtual machines or a whole environment from that E-series?

And that's really the key benefit to that is that we're now going to have performance metrics that we can say, look, this is what we can do with this software and this hardware.

Yeah, and it's really – so that E-Series is there to really pinpoint that 7, 14, 30-day retention.

So it's going to be right next to your production workload.

It's going to be there just in case anything happens to that production workload.

It could just be a –

minimal outage but not for the the rack next to it which is where the e-series resides so we can then just leverage that and then that kind of brings me on to the next thing around another part of the the data fabric in in terms of alter vault so being able to go from those two copies of your data on two different media types there so they're on the same site but on two different media types we've then got the option to even extend that further by sending that 30 plus days over to an alter vault and then out into

maybe a public cloud, if that's the way you want to go as a business.

But ultimately, the Ultravolt opens up so many different areas of container to store those backups off-site in a secondary location.

So, yeah, you can get me on Twitter at MichaelCade1, and please do contact me if there's anything NetApp and Veeam related.

I should be a pretty good resource for that.

You can find some mixed...

Veeam and NetApp blogs around vzilla.co.uk.

And the one thing that I did mention was around FlexClone on steroids.

I actually did a walkthrough on how easy that is to set up.
