HDS at Storage Visions 2012

Guest post by Tracey Doyle

After a relaxing break for the holidays, Storage Visions 2012 was a great way to ease back into the swing of things.

The week before last we had our first Influencer Summit in San Jose, CA that brought together analysts, bloggers and trusted advisors. I really enjoyed Frank Wilikinson’s blog from the event regarding something we heard a lot that day, You Guys Do That?! This got me to thinking about the unexpected and another comment that piqued my interest that day.

Amy Hodler by Amy Hodler on October 26, 2011
