Welcome to the first Tech Interviews Podcast of 2019, we already have a bunch of shows lined up and ready to go over the next few weeks, there’s a wide range of topics including Social Media and the IT Pro, Cloud Native Databases and Cyber Threat Hunting, all coming up soon.

But how else do you start a new podcast year than by dusting off the crystal ball and looking ahead to some of the trends and developments that will affect your IT decision making, strategies and day to day work in tech.

Our look ahead this year is focused on the world of data management as I’m joined by Dave Russell, VP, Enterprise Strategy at Veeam. Dave’s career of almost 30 years has been predominately focussed on data management, specifically backup and has included working at some of the world’s biggest data management companies as well as a stint as a respected analyst at Gartner.

We discuss a wide range of topics and Dave gives some thoughtful insight into the trends he expects to see impact us during 2019.

During the show, we discuss, what keeps him so enthusiastic about the data industry, key trends including the increased use of multi-cloud, flash storage becoming more commonplace, the development of predictive analytics, the changing role of people in technology as well as some trends that are likely to continue in 2018 and may well inhibit our ability to adopt some of the technology we'd like.

It's a fascinating chat, enjoy the show.
