Let's Talk About Tech!

Background You have a bunch of snapshots in your Rubrik appliance and you would like to download a file from one of them.

Breaking news! Nutanix just released a brand new version of Nutanix Community Edition - 2019.02.11. This release is based on AOS 5.10.1 and then the Prism UI has been revamped !

The subject of the webinar itself was very attracting :  A Customer Love Story: From Legacy Tape to Next-Gen Data Protection with Rubrik and Nutanix.  Ok, let's start from there. Important to know, this will be a shared webinar...
