    Wasabi Technologies, the reference in cloud storage, alternative to hyperscalers' solutions with a very efficient and cost effective S3 API service, participated to the recent IT Press Tour in Boston in October.

    237 - Talk with Max. Finotti, CTO, QStar Technologies

    QStar Technologies exists since 1987 and embodies a real pioneer in its segment who continues to drive innovations and leads the market. The company is pretty small but agile and recognized for its expertise in this domain. It is illustrated by a strong footprint on the market with key end-users and installations for several decades. I decided to record this podcast with Max Finotti, its CTO, after The IT Press Tour we did in April in Rome, to better understand their last product, the soon to be famous Global ArchiveSpace or GAS. This solution introduces several key concepts to address new data and storage challenges in the secondary storage space and in particular in the data archiving landscape. So, with Max, we tried to cover that aspect to learn more about GAS, how it works, its design, what is coming... A great talk, I hope you will enjoy the listening. Thank you Max.
