VeeamON 2017, the world’s largest event entirely focused on Availability, is less than two months away, and there is no better place or time to connect with the Veeam community to discuss the latest in data center modernization using virtualization, storage and cloud technologies.
This year’s conference will take place at Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, Louisiana from May 16 – 18 and is guaranteed to have something for everyone, whether you’re the most experienced IT pro in the room or more business-focused.
