Next week, we’re heading to sunny Orlando, Florida for the IBM System Storage Technical University event, which will be a great opportunity for us to showcase Emulex solutions that power many IBM STG products today, including IBM’s innovative Virtual Fabric Architecture for IBM System x and IBM BladeCenter that I mentioned last week in my previous post. It’ll also be a chance for us to talk to many IBMers and end users from all over the world and we look forward to seeing you at the show.
If you are going to Orlando, check out our shortlist of 3 things not to miss at the show:
- We’re speaking: We have several talks planned that we hope you will come and see. I will be speaking on ‘Breaking the I/O Bottleneck’ on Thursday, July 21 at 8:20 am. We will also have a presentation by Shaun Walsh, VP of marketing (@cingulus on Twitter), on trends and directions with IBM and Emulex that will discuss some of our collaborations together on Monday, July 18 at 10:30 am, and one from Tom Boucher, systems engineer (@one_wire on Twitter) on ‘Creating Competitive Advantage by Revolutionizing I/O’ on Tuesday, July 19 and Wednesday, July 20 at 1:00 pm.
- We’re demonstrating our Virtual Fabric Adapters: Come by and see our technology in action. (And check out my blog next week for more on this technology.) This is a great opportunity to see the latest and greatest, best-of-breed technology in action… You won’t be disappointed.
- We’re giving away Quadricopters and iPads! There are several ways you can snag one of these giveaways at the show. You can stop by our booth (#90) or any of our sessions to be entered to win a Parrot AR.Drone Quadricopter powered by an iPhone/iPod touch/iPad, or the IBM booth that we are co-exhibiting in, for a chance to win an iPad (one drawing per day).
I am delighted to be attending this event and will be looking forward to meeting up with colleagues, IBMers and end users alike. If you’d like to follow my tweets from the show, I’m at @alhollingworth (and check out @emulex for ongoing tweets and pictures too). We’ll look forward to seeing you at the show!
