Why "Gumbo"?

Just like the famous Louisiana dish, data protection is a rich mixture of many ingredients—storage, networking, security, cloud, and more. Each element brings its own flavor, and when combined properly, creates something greater than the sum of its parts. That's the philosophy behind our show: bringing together diverse perspectives and technologies to give you a complete picture of modern data protection.
