Storage Field Day 18, Here I Come!

For the second time, I'm lucky enough to be selected as a Tech Field Day delegate! This time, it's for Storage Field Day 18 in Silicon Valley February 27th through March 1st.

For those of you unfamiliar with Tech Field Day, it's an event ran by Gestalt IT where independent tech influencers are brought together with vendors to review products and solutions with deep technical conversations. Each event has a particular technology focus, such as networking, cloud, wireless, and security. 

Storage Field Day 18 will feature 7* different storage vendors. There's an asterisk as the anticipated number of vendors can grow (wink wink).  Expect to see some traditional players like NetApp and Western Digital, and a few newcomers to the scene such as Cohesity, WekiaIO, and StorPool. There's even a secret vendor on the list that even we the delegates are not privy to yet. 

SFD18 can be viewed live on TechFieldDay.com with sessions available a short while later on the Tech Field Day YouTube channel. You can also follow along on Twitter with hashtag #SFD18.

ExploreVM Podcast - A VMworld 2018 Conversation with Mike Burkhart

As 2018 comes to an end, I look back at some sessions that haven't been featured on the podcast yet this season. This episode was originally intended to be a video featuring Mike Burkhart live at VMworld 2018. Unfortunately due to some technical difficulties during the editing process, we can only enjoy as an audio podcast.
