All of this magic started with booth #1531!
Monday, August 27 - DAY 1
We had booth presentations and demos running from 10:30 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. with jugglers and contortionists to help tell our simplified data management story. Yes, jugglers and contortionists!
The City and County of San Francisco announced their selection of CommVault® Simpana® software and VMware server virtualization technology as part of its new "Cloud-First Policy" that now requires every application, networking, server and storage system to be cloud-ready.
Later that night, we held a cocktail reception at the Westin St. Francis. The location was great, but best of all was networking with old - and new - friends, partners, customers and industry influencers.
Tuesday, August 28 - DAY 2
In our spotlight session, "Virtualize Fearlessly: Accelerating Your Cloud Vision with Modern Data Management,"
Al Bunte, CommVault COO, and Gina Tomlinson, CTO, City and County of San Francisco, teamed up to discuss how a "cloud-first" approach can be transformational for IT and how a modernized approach to data management that focuses on service level delivery is a key element of success in implementing cloud-enabled solutions.
