Off to Dallas for SNW April 2-5: Texas BBQ and Cloud…BIG and BOLD!!

Next week Hitachi Data Systems is participating as an Underwriter Sponsor at SNW Spring in Dallas from April 2-5, 2012 at the OMNI Dallas Hotel.

Our focus at #SNWusa is “The New Data Center Economy”. You can find us in booth #201. The HDS booth will showcase virtualization,  capacity efficiency, big data, file & content, and cloud solutions, and feature a Technical Operations kiosk with a VSP and demos.

During the four-day conference I will be in the booth, meeting with customers, and presenting on “HDS cloud at your own pace”. I am excited to meet with people to talk about what is relevant to their business data center challenges. There will be fun giveaways and a lot of action in our booth.  Look for my tweets for #HDS and #SNWusa news and fun!  Follow me at @tdoyle49
