Dell Storage Forum 2011 Day 1: Let's Get Fluid

This morning’s adventures at Dell Storage Forum started with a keynote from Greg Davis and Brian Bell.  They talked about the future of Dell Storage and the combining of the EqualLogic user group and the Compellent C-Drive conferences.  Toward the end of the keynote the two Dell executives did Q&A with the audience, but with a twist.  They took questions live via twitter and the response was actually very good.  After the keynote we headed over to the Fluid Lounge.  One thing I noticed walking through the hotel was that the Dell Brand was all over the place.  From a Dell logo on the floor that made waves when you walked over it to a huge Dell logo in the hotel pool. ?

The blogger lounge was set up so bloggers and members of the TechCenter community would have a place to sit down and recharge.  There was also a cool sign for all the attendees to sign.

  

 If you are attending, it’s a must you stop by Cool.

The next stop on our list was the hands on labs, here there were 24 labs running on 16 Dell blades with 1.5TB of RAM, 4 EQL PS6010 XV arrays, powering 1,667 VM’s.  And of course none of this would be possible without the main ingredient, Awesomesauce!

That takes us into our Dell TechCenter booth.  For those that are familiar with the popular British car show Top Gear on BBC America, you have at some point seen or heard about the “Star in a reasonably priced car” challenge where the star takes a lap around the track and has their time recorded.  We are taking this challenge into the data center, well maybe just the expo floor at Dell Storage Forum.  If you come by the Dell TechCenter booth during expo hours and take our Fluid SAN Challenge you will receive a free Dell TechCenter t-shirt and have your name and time entered into the record books.  The challenge will involve performing various tasks on one of the Dell Storage products, so come see how you stack up against your peers by taking the Fluid SAN Challenge.

To keep up with all the happenings from Dell Storage Forum, save a twitter search for the #DellSF11 & #FluidData hash tag, stay tuned to the Dell Storage Facebook page, the Dell TechCenter Facebook page, and watch these twitter accounts, and the Flickr page.
