Dell Storage Forum 2011 kicked off today with a General Session from Darren Thomas and Phil Soran who took the stage to talk about Foundation and Future of Dell Fluid Data Architecture. Dell Compellent's Copilot has been a hot 
topic before and during this years event. All of the questions where answered when Phil Soran took the stage and told the crowd, copilot was there to stay for the long haul. The support model that Compellent has been successful with and the customers in a word love, is getting better. The success of Copilot is going to be integrated in the EqualLogic mix with the awesome sauce for a recipe that is best in class.
Darren Thomas VP and GM of Dell Storage gave the audience a look into Dell's history in the storage business and how the recent acquisitions have transformed Dell into a hardware leader. Things like no fork-lift upgrades, working above the hardware and how to manage the data. Dell has acquired several companies in the past 10 years which have led to a few new product announcements.
Coming in the next few months the FS7500, NAS peer scalable file storage, that will be available to provide EqualLogic users with a front end file server front end, a new EqualLogic firmware to better handle the demands of your data and the PowerVault MD3600F with support for fibre channel. This makes Dell's Fluid Data agile, resilient and efficient from server to storage to cloud.
The evening opened with a reception and expo with some special guests stopping by. Michael Dell and Phil Soran stopped by to meet and talk with customer, partners and the Dell TechCenter crew.
The evening concluded with a tweet up social event and podcast with Greg Knieriemen of Infosmack, at the Raglan Road in Downtown Disney. Michael Dell was a special guest who mingled and talked with customers and channel partners.
The Dell TechCenter team was treated to a special evening with Brian Bell (@F16Samurai), Andy Hardy and other Compellent leaders as we talked about the integration and how we can take storage to the next level, good times!
