I just spent a weekend in a place that likes to create their own islands. They're literally adding habitable land mass to the earth while as they dredge up the bottom of the ocean and dump it back up to make up enormous piles of sand, thus PALM island and THE WORLD. I'm not "talking about place called Aspen where women instinctively flock to you like the salmon of Capistrano..." [Dumb & Dumber movie quote] I'm talking about Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
It's considered the "Las Vegas of the Middle East". I don't know about that, but what I do know is that they have hotel resorts that could possible put The Bellagio to shame. With nightclubs and bars on every corner, I'm sure that these folks may quite well partake in some shenanigans of their own. But... what I'm most interested is in the technology sector that is booming and what's to come in the future. Enter NetApp!
Dubai is also often referred to as "Internet City". With all of the development and construction that is underway (I've never seen so many cranes in a single square mile in my life), my mind wanders to the opportunity at hand as it pertains to high tech and storage.
In my eyes, I just see NetApp all over Dubai.
