5. It's less now than it was when we first started. The move tothe cloud was a big check box for our leadership. Development workloads went first since they were ephemeral. We ran hybrid for some time while we tried to create the zero trust model in AWS. But we quickly learned that the offset cost of just running development workloads in AWS was too great. So we dialed all development to local datacenter and tabled moving the core infrastructure. AWS is great, but it comes at a significant cost, esp when you already own all the hardware and infrastructure to host it.

Years ago, as a junior admin on a team of five, I suddenly found myself alone when the other four admins quit. The company ran lean and resisted IT purchases, forcing me to learn everything through trial by fire.
At the time, we used a Linux-based backup solution, managed by an admin with limited Linux skills. After he left, backup jobs began failing. I soon discovered he had manipulated reporting scripts to falsely show successful backups, when in reality, they weren’t running at all. His deception unraveled when I removed his local accounts from the backup server, causing the scripts to fail.
Needing a reliable, easy-to-use solution, we turned to Veeam Data Platform, which was leading the market for its simplicity and quick deployment. Within an hour of purchasing a license, I had fully functional backups running again. Veeam Data Platform proved to be cost-effective, reliable, and secure, preventing users from manipulating backend data to create a false sense of protection.
That experience solidified my trust in Veeam Data Platform—it was a game-changer in ensuring real, verifiable backups without the risk of admin interference.

We have not.

All of our data lives on NAS/sans but its are stored in luns. The only system that we have that has a direct plug is our Nimble. Other than that everything else is backed up through the vmware integration. All the unstructured data isnt stored via file shares on the NAS but rather smb via a linux vm.
