I'm Just a Million Miles Away.

I'm exactly half way across the globe and I feel like I need to blog and that makes me more of a globe-blogger than a globe-trotter.  I had the pleasure and privilege of presenting the Technical Breakout Session for the APAC Technical Partner Summit here in Kovalam, Kerela in India this week. 

It's always interesting talking to our partners and hence, indirectly to our customers,  to see the technology trends that are occurring out here in addition to the new ways they are doing business in light of the economic crisis.  My counterparts out here are feeling quite positive about it all and feel that it's in fact a phenomenal opportunity to capitalize on this and really relay NetApp's value proposition and help our customers now more than ever.  I couldn't agree more.

 

One of my colleagues who works for NetApp and resides in Amsterdam, Holland jokes that we can no longer draw parallels and be analogous between our Thin Provisioning and the ways that banks loan money.  The irony was both humorous and sad at the same time.

 

So, here's to the wonderful people of NetApp India and the NetApp Partners who have so much faith and hope and drive that it would warm anyone's heart.  Well, maybe not the hearts of Evil Machines but anyone who's warm blooded would indeed share the sentiment.

Go NetApp!  ONE Team!

Hey Gilda! Glad to hear you are doing well.

About that Thin Provisioning analogy:
On the other hand what we _should_ do is caution our customers on the dangers of the thin provisioning of sub-prime storage! :-)

Woops, I meant to say we should caution our _competitors'_ customers!

NetApp storage is, of course, always solidly backed by the safety and security of RAID-DP and 16 years of innovation on resiliency and data protection. :-)

APAC Technical Partner Summit was indeed a good conference that I had ever attended for NetApp providers.
