SHOW NOTES:
Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. You started Backblaze in 2007, just a year after AWS S3 launched. What made you decide to start a storage company when EMC, HP and NetApp dominated with big enterprise boxes, and S3 seemed like a weird new thing for Amazon sellers?
Topic 2 - Over the last couple of years, it feels like there has been a shift in how companies think about “the cloud”. We’re seeing more specialty clouds. How do you see this trend playing out in the market?
Topic 3 - You’ve been through multiple stages of how the cloud has evolved. Where do you see us now in terms of cloud evolution, and what are some of the things you see coming on the horizon?
Topic 4 - Backblaze is well known for disrupting both the cost of cloud storage, but also how storage systems are built. Given today’s economic climate, are you seeing more companies demand more flexibility &/or efficiency on how they store data?
Topic 5 - We continue to see ransomware attacks across all industries. Is this leading companies to rethink their backup and disaster-recovery strategies?
Topic 6 - From a storage perspective, do you see bottlenecks emerging about how this appetite for more and more data will eventually run into problems?
