ExaGrid, the pure player and market leader in secondary storage with dedicated backup appliance, joined the recent edition of The IT Press Tour in Boston. The session we had with Bill Andrews, CEO, at the company HQ invited me to record a specific interview to cover the pretty unique trajectory of ExaGrid and one of the longest CEO tenure with 20 years in our industry. We spoke about the product and its special characteristics and of course benefits versus classic dedupe backup appliances, some key developments and backup software integrations with Veeam, Veritas and Commvault, the go-to-market and pricing model and of course some futures directions for the company and the product. Once again, an episode I like very much to record and I'm sure you will like this episode. Thank you Bill.

Hydrolix, a fast growing data analytics US company, participated to the recent edition of The IT Press Tour in Boston. With what I saw and understood, I decided to record this new episode with Marty Kagan, CEO and co-founder, to go beyond that session and cover multiple aspects. Among them, we spoke about the genesis of the company, why companies need such technology, a bit of product info, their go-to-market model and pricing philosophy, of course some references and use cases plus competition and we conclude with the future around company and products. Very good episode once again with a simple direct exchange. I hope you will like this episode, I'm pretty sure it will be the case. Thank you Marty.
