This Week: The Dell Storage Forum

Today (well, actually yesterday) is the start of the week-long Dell Storage Forum (formerly known as C-Drive) at the Hilton at Walt Disney World, in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. And if you take all the training into account, the Forum runs into next Saturday as well.

Riverbed and Dell are very close partners. 

• The two organizations have a global channel and integrator parnership for Dell's storage products, Compellent and Equallogic, enabling us to provide WAN Optimization during site-to-site replication. 
• We complement Dell's relationships with Brocade, Aruba Networks, and Juniper, adding WAN Optimization to the mix.
• Dell places Riverbed in a partner category called Best Value Solutions, and have declared us their preferred WAN Optimization vendor.

If you're going to be attending the Dell Storage Forum this week, make sure you attend  the Riverbed presentation, Accelerate Application Performance, Thursday at 1:15 at the Solutions Expo Theater Session.   It'll be delivered by Rodney Caines, Riverbed Systems Engineer.

As for Social Media, DSF has it covered.  They have set up a dedicated Facebook page, a dedicated Twitter ID, @DellSF, and a hashtag #DellSF11.  Check them out and join the conversation even if you can't make it down to sunny Walt Disney World!
