Co-hosts Nick Gold and Jason Whetstone begin the third season of our popular audio podcast series… Listen Now

In this episode Nick Gold and new co-host Jason Whetstone talk with Gary Watson, the co-founder and CTO of Nexsan -- now with the added title of Imation Fellow as  Nexsan was acquired by Imation in 2013.

Gary is one of those brilliant technical people who also possesses the gift to communicate eloquently, enthusiastically and informatively with any audience. Listen to this conversation, and you will learn why we at Chesapeake are such fans of Nexsan storage solutions.

The topics discussed range from Nexsan's history, philosophy and reputation for "minding the details" to the technical highlights of the popular E-series storage, the new NST series and Assureon, the company's spinning drive-based archive solution.

While certainly utilizing SSDs in Nexsan products, Gary also shares with us his candid thoughts about that particular technology and why he believes spinning drives have a very bright future indeed.

As with all episodes of The Workflow Show, this program can also be accessed via iTunes.

This episode of The Workflow Show is a recording of the opening panel discussion at our MAM Project Planning and Integration Symposium held in New York City on June 24, 2014.

The panel was moderated by Nick Gold, Director of Business Development, Chesapeake Systems; Greg Shiff, Director of Technical Sales at Levels Beyond (the creators of Reach Engine), John Fico, Solutions Architect with Axispoint; and Mike Szumlinski, CEO of Professional Video Technology (US distributor of Cantemo Portal)

The event "got granular" regarding MAM topics such as best practices for communicating with partners and dealing with challenges that come with "deep integration,” including issues like how to properly scope out a project -- and assessing what possibilities exist for customization and integration with third-party platforms.

We thank our partners at Cantemo Portal, Levels Beyond and Axispoint for their participation, and we thank our good friends at Nexsan, who graciously provided financial sponsorship for this event. Nexsan's E-Series RAIDs and NST-Series file servers offer exceptional performance, density and value for SAN, NAS and hybrid environments.
