Description

In this episode, we sit down with storage veteran Mike McGee — a man who’s touched more data than most of us have clicked in a lifetime — to talk all things Nutanix Files. From the early days of 8MB hard drives to today's petabyte-scale deployments, Mike walks us through how Files has evolved into a hybrid-cloud-ready, VDI-friendly, ransomware-aware beast of a platform.

We unpack:

-The eternal IT debate: Storage vs. Networking vs. Compute
-How distributed shares are making life easier for VDI users
-Why ransomware protection isn’t an afterthought anymore
-And yes… even how Nutanix helps store millions of cat videos

Whether you're a sysadmin, cloud architect, or just someone who appreciates a well-balanced file system, this episode’s got something for you.
