CiscoLive! Europe is almost ready to start! Our booth has arrived and many of the field marketing team are already busy with setup and last minute preparations. Jim Ruddy and I will be representing the EMC Office of the CTO (OCTO) at the conference. We have a number of exciting “Technology Previews” and Open Innovation Lab projects we have been working on with our customers and partners.
Some the solutions we will be featuring at the Technology Preview conversation station in Meet the Experts area of the EMC booth are:
- Big Data storage solutions including:
- New EMC Hadoop Starter Kit for Cloudera
- New secure Hadoop solutions with Rainstor
- New EMC ViPR HDFS integrations
- Preview of our New EMC solutions for Splunk
- New EMC Server SAN with ScaleiO
- New EMC Storage integration with software defined networking
In addition to the Technology Previews we will be hosting four 30-minute Meet up’s at the EMC booth. The one's I am hosting are:
- Tuesday (1/28) – 6:15pm – EMC Big Data Solutions Overview
- Wednesday (1/29) – 11am – EMC Server SAN Overview - ScaleiO
- Wednesday (1/29) – 1pm – EMC Solutions for Splunk
- Thursday (1/30) – 11am – EMC Solutions for Cloudera
We will start the meet ups with a short presentation and then have a group discussion on the topic. Seating is limited for these meet ups so please plan to arrive a few minutes early and be ready to engage with the group. We are looking forward to hearing your feedback on our strategy and the challenges you are trying to address.
There are several great breakout sessions that I hope to get to attend. EMC has two great breakouts sessions in the catalog this year:
- Wednesday (1/29) – 2:30pm – Software Defined Storage with EMC ViPR
- Thursday (1/30) – 11:30am - Transform Your Data Center with EMC VSPEX with Cisco Technology
Both of these sessions feature our most popular products and include an iPAD Mini giveaway.
In addition to all the activities at our booth, EMC is partnering with Intel this year to host a party on Wednesday evening that will be epic. You will want to stop by the EMC booth (#D1) on Tuesday to pickup your exclusive pass. The passes are extremely limited so tell them I sent you:-)
The entire EMC activity schedule is available through our Cisco Live! vPass on the EMC Community Network. Be sure to register to get the latest EMC schedule updates and access to EMC content.
This promises to be a great event and perfect kickoff to 2014 partnership with Cisco and our mutual partners. Please let me know if you are planning to attend and would like to meet.
