In this new Arrow podcast, Timur Rassekh and Ben McGuire from the Arrow technical solutions team discuss how NAS (network attached storage) is a movement that has turned into an industry. Timur and Ben examine this topic with Veeam National Technical Partner Manager Kevin Karafa who has 19 years in the industry. Kevin explains a brief history of his experience with NAS, starting from the days where many people didn’t think it would work, to now — with NAS targeted to grow 300% from a $15 billion market in 2017 to a $45 billion market in 2023.

As file sizes are growing and people are keeping their data longer, you’ll want to tune into this episode to learn why NAS is important and how you can position the features and benefits of Veeam’s solutions to your customers. You will also learn how to create a dramatically faster backup experience for them. One example in this podcast describes a backup that took the fastest competitor 72 hours, but it took Veeam only four hours.

In addition, this discussion clarifies how Veeam does backup differently than competitors, leveraging change file tracking to quickly assess what’s happening and identify changes in the environment, while keeping everything neatly organized and super-efficient.
