Brian, Kevin, Adam and Tom break down the most popular news since the last podcast from Zerto, Dell EMC, HP, Intel, Seagate and Proxmox. Brian provides a cowboy hat update and a rant about Hertz car rentals. Kevin updates the lab status including Dell EMC, Faction, Qumulo and Formulus Black. Baby Yoda is declared universally cute. And there's music! Thanks to Kevin's dutiful work and blackmail of his musician cousin, the podcast now has bumper music. If we could only find a sponsor for this fiasco all would be well. Warning, this podcast contains explicit language.

In this week's podcast the team discusses key happenings at KubeCon San Diego, where Tom once again avoided eating a steak to spite Brian. Kevin and Tom discuss some of their favorite finds including Dynatrace, Kioxia, NetApp and many more. Brian walks through the biggest news of the week from Dell Technologies, AMD, IGEL and NVIDIA. Most importantly there's a cowboy hat update and more complaining about it being cold in Austin. Also check out the new StorageReview subreddit.

In this podcast Brian walks you through the news and silly events of the Dell Technologies Summit 2019, which was a press and analyst event held in Austin, Texas this week. Highlights include discussion on the Dell EMC news around consumption pricing and PowerOne, the new CI offering. We also dive into dog pictures, an annoying occurence at the hotel bar and how to select a cowboy hat. Kevin offers up an update on the lab, including discussion on our latest review, Diamanti's HCI solution for containers.

The cybersecurity landscape may be one of the few things evolving as quickly as today’s mobile workforce. It is now commonplace for executives to spend more time traveling, both domestically and internationally, than in their actual offices. Whether the executive is accessing private documents using public Wi-Fi or running their device through airport security, companies’ data has never been more vulnerable.

We've built up a well-appointed virtual workstation testing lab, thanks in large part to our sponsors. HP has provided the 16 thin clients and displays to bring this lab to fruition. While thin client computing hasn't always been the most sexy or performance oriented part of IT, it's growing rapidly for a number of reasons. One reason involves a more forward thinking design for the thin clients themselves, including a variety of mobile options that look about the same as their full-fledged PC cousins.
