Storage Nation

Tech Target is taking a video they shot of my last DR Planning seminar and is streaming it on the Internet right now.  Here are the details I received after pinging the site.

Hitachi Geek Day has been and gone and I’m back home in the UK recovering from quick turnaround jetlag.  Originally this event was known as HDS Bloggers Day and in actual fact was a day and a half long.  Somewhere along the line the Geek monika was adopted and has been retained for the page summary on the Hitachi website.  You can find a link here . Background So what was this event all about?  Well, Hitachi are looking to raise their image using social media in a way already pioneered by Hewlett Packard and the attendees of the Gestalt IT events.  This Geek Day (as I shall refer to it from now on) is the starting process on this journey and was in some ways a “beta” test of how to do future events (hence the 0.9 designation). Initially I was skeptical as to what content Hitachi would choose to present.  They are well known for their Enterprise and Modular storage arrays and I’m more than familiar with these, having designed, implemented and managed many implementations in the past.  In fact, I’ve previously assisted Hitachi in software feature development and have reverse engineered the HiCommand products to suit my own requirements.
