Wow…so day 2 started in the early AM. I actually had a semi sleepless night. It’s just hard for me to rest easy in a hotel room. Anyhow, we had the key-note at 8:30 am and it was brilliant. Especially migrating humans via VPLEX
As fun as it was to do a trick with twins, it really was a perfect demonstration of what you can actually do with your Data Center with VPLEX.
The key-note was a cool highlight of the day, but the EMC Elect continued to interact. In fact, we decided to do some missions of fun to show the lighter side of community. We took on a mission, @mjbrender @vrobm and I, for an impromptu meet up at the Sweet Shop. We wanted to show how EMC Elect collaborate to build vital new things, like cupcakes
I think we agreed that operation cupcake was a success for those of us with a sweet tooth. They were indeed delicious. Later we caught up with @virtualchappy, a fellow EMC Elect member, and it was good to get a #chappyhug and catch up. And then for more fun we scarfed him and others. Operation scarfed was another fun mission as can be seen by the tweets we pushed out. Again, just some social community fun.
Finally we decided to relax and enjoy a Pint at the Netapp bar
All in all a good fun social thing for the Elect with emphasis on the community spirit and a bit of required levity. This show is massive and the EMC booth is beautiful and busy, constantly.
All in all, day 2 was great, for EMC, some fun for the EMC Elect, and a little controversy for Oracle’s Larry Ellison, who missed his keynote. Something to do with the America’s cup allegedly. But hey the Oracle American team is making one hell of a comeback against New Zealand, so who could blame him Anyway, day 2 finished off with the EMC, Cisco, and Intel customer appreciation event. I’m sure Sean aka @sthulin got plenty of photos which he will share.
So day 3 is coming up. More to come!
