StorageWorks Tech Day - in their words so far....
I've been home from our HP StorageWorks Tech Day for less than 24 hours and I still am floating on a cloud (No Foskett - not that kind of cloud!). When we first started talking about doing it a couple of months ago, I never would have imagined the incredible response we've had to it. But I'll leave some of my thoughts going into it and now for another post. For now, I wanted to point you to some of the posts by others who attended our event in Colorado Springs. You can read a bit more about the event by reading my post titled "StorageWorks Tech Day Starting Now".
So here are links to the posts I've seen so far from the attendees:
- HP Tech Day 2009, Day 0 by Devang Panchigar. Devang included some great pictures of one of the most beautiful places in Colorado, Garden of the Gods
- StorageMojo off to HP's Storage Tech Day by Robin Harris. Robin liked that we didn't require an NDA but missed our chance for cocktails in the agenda.
- HP Storage Tech Day by Rich Brambley. Rich has a widget tracking the event Twitter hashtag on his blog.
- HP StorageWorks Tech Day 2009, Day 1 by John Obeto. I met John at HP Technology Forum and am really glad he attended to learn more about StorageWorks.
- HPTechDay 2009 Day 1: HP StorageWorks Technology by Devang Panchigar. Devang gives lots of details of not only the sessions but the conversations he had during the day and evening out.
- HP StorageWorks TechDay & SMB Announcement by Simon Seagrave. Simon gave a summary of Day 1 and talked about the announcement we did at the beginning of Day 2
- The Price of Quality by Ray Lucchesi. Ray focused on what he saw in our tour of the EVA test lab.
- HPTechDay: HP really 'gets' storage! by Nigel Poulton. Nigel states that his opinion WAS that we didn't get storage; his opinion changed during the event. This is one of my favorite posts.
- HPTechDay 2009 Day 2: HP Converged Data Center by Devang Panchigar. Devang gets the prize for the most thorough and timely updates. His Day 2 summary talks about our converged infrastructure discussion.
- HP StorageWorks Tech Day 2009, Day 2 by John Obeto. I know John got sick after returning home but he toughed it out and put this post up.
NOTE: Somehow in editing HTML, I deleted a post on my list from Rich Brambley. Here's a link to it: HP tells storage virtualization future with LeftHand.
There were a few articles from a few folks who didn't attend but were watching the information pour across Twitter:
- Tech Day gives a peek into the future of storage by Rick Vanover, Tech Republic. Rick was invited to Tech Day but couldn’t come; thanks for the article Rick!
- HP lays out sketches of storage roadmap by Chris Mellor, The Register. The Register actually picked up chatter from Tech Day and wrote about it.
- HP StorageWorks Tech Day 2009, Day 1 includes HP Total Care expansion announcements by Shane Pitman, TechVirtuoso.com. Frank Owens from TechVirtuoso was at the event - Shane published this article.
- HP drops roadmap nuggets at StorageWorks TechDay by Beth Pariseau, ITKnowledgeExchange.com Storage Soup Blog
There were some interesting comments over Twitter, but I'll save those for another update this week.
