In this episode, we sit down with storage veteran Mike McGee — a man who’s touched more data than most of us have clicked in a lifetime — to talk all things Nutanix Files.

We unpack:

-The eternal IT debate: Storage vs. Networking vs. Compute
-How distributed shares are making life easier for VDI users
-Why ransomware protection isn’t an afterthought anymore
