Linbit, a reference in Linux HA and data replication, has participated to the recent IT Press Tour in Lisbon, Portugal, and it was the perfect opportunity to learn more about the standard in data protection for production data. So I decided to make this interview with Philipp Reisner, CEO and founder of the company, a story he started more than 20 years ago when he was a student working in the domain. So I let you imagine the expertise Philipp has developed during that period. We spoke about all, the genesis of the project, the strategy of the company, how product work, Kubernetes of course, go to market and pricing and we conclude by a bit of future directions. A very interesting episode I invite you to discover and listen carefully. Enjoy. Thank you Philipp.

First episode of 2023 and first episode of the 4th season. This time with My Predictions, some of them are a bit provocative and others are more classics and follow the market directions. We'll expect a better year, we'll see, on the technology side, it will be interesting but it will be impacted by the general business, energy and diplomatic climate.

Existing for a few decades this DFS, AFS and more recent OpenAFS and well promoted by AuriStor, a software company based in New-York, dedicated to this domain. We met again AuriStor during the recent IT Press Tour and it was the perfect opportunity to record this podcast and discuss with Jeffrey Altman, CEO and founder of AuriStor, the only active ISV in the area. With Jeffrey, we spoke about the history part of AFS with university aspect with Carnegie Mellon, and companies Transarc, IBM or Coda instance. We discussed about the philosophy of the product, how it works, why users adopt AFS-based solutions, use cases and deployments examples, also the go-to-market and pricing model and of course some future directions. Enjoy the listening. Thank you Jeffrey.
