Since Dell Storage Forum is next week, I thought we’d take a little trip down memory lane with some of the highlights from last year! For the lucky ones that are going this year, be sure to catch up with Lance (@iSCSIKing) and myself (@DennisMSmith) along with other members of the Dell team while you’re there. However, if you are not able to make the trip we will be providing non-stop coverage of the event through Twitter and Facebook so be sure to keep your eyes open for that. If you want to set up a twitter search for Dell Storage Forum, the official hash tag is #DellSF11. You can also find more information from Gina Rosenthal’s (@Gminks) blog she posted earlier.
Be sure to check back next week for our newest video of the week.
I'm writing this from the Dell Storage Forum Fluid Blogger's Lounge. We still have some set up to do - the hotel IT guys are here right now setting up some ethernet drops for us. We should be ready to rock and roll tomorrow morning!
I thought I'd take a minute to share some of the great posts folks have made as they are getting ready to come outo Orlando, and then let y'all know what we'll be doing today, on the official Day 1 of the Dell Storage Forum.
