Good news: I will be attending Dell Technologies World 2018, scheduled for April 30-May 3rd in the Sands Expo convention center in Las Vegas. Dell has been so kind to invite me to this conference, and I’m looking forward to meet the former Dell EMC Elect and many other industry friends.

Back in October we visited Dell EMC for a few Storage Field Day 14 presentations. Walking into the new EBC building we bumped into two racks. One with a VMAX all flash system and another with a XtremIO X2. Let’s kick off the Storage Field Day 14 report with VMAX All Flash. There’s still a lot of thought going into this enterprise class storage array…
Storage Field Day 14 is taking place next month on 8-10 November in Silicon Valley. After having to skip one Storage Field Day, I’m glad to be back at the table for this one. If you look at the event page, it might seem there’s not that many presentations going on: only 4 companies listed as of today. But don’t be mistaken: Dell EMC will have 5 presentations, so we will not be slacking!
This is a long overdue post covering Dell EMC World 2017 in Las Vegas and the announcements that were made during the event. I’ll recap some of the topics that resonated most with me, namely that cloud computing is not a place but a way of doing IT. Secondly, I spoke briefly with some of the Dell EMC server guys whom give me hope that the Dell 14th generation servers are a big step up from previous experiences. Finally, I’ll share a bit of insight in what the Dell EMC Elect picked up during an interview with John Roese, and will link to a few posts from friends that attended Dell EMC World 2017. Maybe it’s a bit more of a “Dear diary,”-style post, so hang in there.
On the first day of Dell EMC World 2017 in Las Vegas a few important announcements were made. It covered both product announcements and other industry developments. I’ll try to cover a few that stood out to me, and how they will impact the people that run the IT infrastructure. This workforce transformation as Dell EMC calls it, might be more challenging than simply making a system a bit faster with flash.
