Today, beer destined for pubs and restaurants is usually shipped in stainless-steel and hence reusable kegs, but this requires a complex system of logistics for both delivery and return.

He is joined by Serguei Beloussov, founder and CEO of Acronis. Based in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, Acronis is ranked by analysts as a leader in backup software, disaster recovery, and secure data access.
