What better way to hear what our partners and customers have to say about our “Data Protection” products than to get out onto the streets and visit over 25 cities in EMEA. That’s the task for us over the next few months. The full schedule can be viewed here and as you can see we are covering the breadth and depth of EMEA.
With over 50% of the install base of Networker and a huge number of the 36,000 Data Domain systems that have been deployed globally here in EMEA, we have a lot of customers to see. In addition in 2012 over 4000 new customers purchased a backup or archive solution from EMC, so we hope to see a good number of these for the first time at one of our “User Groups”.
As we continue to develop our “Data Protection Suite” it is important we listen to how our customers are using our Protection Software and Protection Storage systems. We have so many customers for instance trying to move off a tape environment, that new features such a DD Boost over FC are allowing them to carry on using their investment in Fibre Channel but send their data to disk and not tape.
During the User Group in each city, we will explain to our customers the Strategy and Vision that we have for Backup and Archive within EMC. We will share the portfolio roadmap, and listen to a customer testimonial. The afternoon sessions, get down and dirty with how we are protecting virtual servers and how archiving can help your email, file and sharepoint environments.
Registration links can be found within the posted schedule, it’s not too late to register. We would love to you at one of the events.
And just in case you need a little incentive for attending, we will be giving out Mozy licences to each attendee.
