IT organizations are faced with a tantalizing array of options when it comes to hardware and software solutions. But long before anything can ever be deployed, it has to be purchased, which means at some point it had to be approved. This week Jeff Hunter and Pete Koehler join us to share some of their experiences in providing IT influence within.

Jeff Hunter and Pete Koehler are both members of the vSAN Technical Marketing team in the VMware Storage and Availability Unit.
