0.074: emc world 2008
EMC World 2008 is just about a month and a half away, and the preparation activity around the office is really picking up. Presentation content is being reviewed and critiqued, the kinks are getting worked out of the hands-on workshops and show-floor challenges, the chatchkies and prizes are starting to come in, and everyone's travel arrangements are being buttoned up.
And now that Q1 is complete (and 5773 is shipping), the excitement will really start building, hopefully to crescendo May 19-22 in Las Vegas.
A couple of weeks ago, I recorded a "teaser" for my session on Flash Drive performance and best practices. Mostly, the teaser is just the marketing side of the story. In my session I'll actually be diving into details on the performance customers can expect to attain for different workloads, as well as discussing the various tools that can be used to identify applications (or parts of applications) that could benefit most from sub-millisecond response times that Enterprise Flash Drives deliver on Symmetrix.

You'll need Adobe Flash to view this...
My session is currently scheduled to run twice, although I'm not exactly sure when yet. I'll be around the whole week, so if you're there, look me up!
And I gotta admit, the rest of the Agenda looks pretty exciting too, especially the scheduled Entertainment. I'm hoping maybe we'll get to see ole "Wild Pitch" Tucci toss the ball around with fellow Yankees fan Billy Crystal (and I'm sure the event coordinators will have protective screens on the HD displays for this).
But seriously, if you've never been, EMC World is an incredible experience. With over 450 breakout sessions - delivered by the actual engineers who develop the products - there's nothing like it in the industry. In fact, with the continuously expanding scope of EMC's offerings and surrounding eco-structure, there's plenty more than any one person can consume - so bring a friend or co-worker!
You might want to register soon though - the prices go up another $200.00 on May 5.
Oh - and be sure to ask your sales rep if he/she has any of those tickets to the secret parties (and Jeopardy competitions) that you always hear about the day AFTER they happen.
Just don't tell them that I sent you!

Last year was great, I'm hoping this year is even better. I would like to see more high end CLARiiON and Celerra sessions :-)
