Unplugged Vol 12 - Adaptive Flexible RAID, FlashBlade//E and Auto-On SafeMode

"I always feel like somebody's watching me..." go the lyrics of the 1980's Rockwell song - "And I have no privacy."  And it's true in this era where technology advances have made video surveillance something we live with on a daily basis.  But capturing and using video footage is complicated, frequently compounded by the use of legacy data storage technology.  For this episode, we welcome, Tom Sells, Field Business Development Principal and Video Surveillance solutions expert, to talk thru the history of video surveillance (hint: it's not like what we see in the movies). We take a walk thru the new and emerging use cases across many industries - law enforcement, education, retail, transportation, and even gaming & casinos. Finally, we hone in on how Pure's latest //E family of arrays and Evergreen//One provide cost-effective and modern solutions that make capture and retention far easier for users.
