Hanging out, have dinner with my fellow Open Line coleagues and try to stay awake until 10 or 11PM. Flying on Saturday afternoon April 28 and checking in in the Linq hotel. Will flash finally be able to catch up to the current CPU speeds and remove SAAB (storage as a bottleneck)? There was a lot going on back in 2014, but the hype is over, or is it? I’m dying to see new developments in the flash side of things. And when was the last time we got a new VMAX? That must have been back in 2014 or so! Unity was in 2016, XtremeIO X2 was in 2017, but where did DSSD go? Every competitor now has NVMe storage, but what about legacy EMC products? I’m expecting a lot in this area and “in memory computing” as well. There’s much to improve in that area, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed for that. I’m hoping for news on a possible merger between the Dell SC-series and EMC Unity. And it’s been a while since we had a really cool announcement. What are my expectations and plans for this year? Well, I’m always looking out for big announcements, like the mega launch back in 2013 with the VNX2 in Milan or any other really cool new products. I’ll be flying from Köln this time on a Saturday and it’s a direct flight as well! I’ll be traveling with a few colleagues of mine and some of them are DT World / Las Vegas virgins, so that’s going to be a culture shock for them!! Anyway, we’re here to help them get through it all in one piece so they’ll get the most efficient use of their time during one of the most interesting technology events this year. I’m very lucky to get a direct flight for once. 
Let’s see if we can do some more of that this year 😉
Remember last year? Well, here’s a quote of mine as a reminder:
Emc happy hour full#
It’s less than two weeks before the event, but I already have a full agenda: from networking with the Dutch in the “Dutch Delegation” to a super secret meeting with the Dell EMC Customer Council and maybe even some interviews! It’s that time of the year again: Las Vegas time! This year I once again got an invite from Dell EMC to visit this yearly conference.
