Earlier this year as part of the Boston based Gestalt IT Tech Field day we visited the EMC Mothership at Hopkinton. Whilst here we had a number of informative sessions with one in particular taken by EMC’s Vice President of the VMware Technology Alliance and self confessed geek, Chad Sakac. The topic of the session was around Chad’s view on ‘Storage Efficiency’ and proved to be really interesting especially for those of us actively involved with storage and/or virtualization.
Little did I know at the time of filming that I’d be joining the EMC vSpecialist team a month or two later though this presentation certainly gave me a good insight into Chad’s well grounded vision on storage efficiency and the associated challenges. It’s all good stuff, I know you’ll enjoy this video even if you’re not currently an EMC customer as much of what Chad speaks about applies to storage as a whole. Also keep in mind whilst watching the session that it was recorded back in April 2010 so many of the product updates that Chad mentions or hints at such as the vCenter integration and plug ins (ie: VSI), Fast Cache and Fast v2 has now been announced and released into the wild.
Thanks to Stephen Foskett for arranging these excellent Tech Field Days. I have found a number of videos from this Tech Field Day that I thought I had lost so expect some more videos in the coming weeks.

Excellent editing job & thanks for sharing. Was a great event. Ed Saipetch gets credit for helping make the demo run smooth. What a difference a few months makes – I’m no longer at EMC, and you are there now…
Hey Stu,
I know, isn’t if funny how it all ends up working out? Glad you liked the video, it was an excellent event indeed. Great work all round.
It’s just a shame that I can no longer attend any Tech Field Day events as I am now working for a vendor. That said I’m having a blast and just love being in the tech industry. Never a dull moment
All the best,
Si
