AT Cisco LIve in London I sat down for a ‘ChappyChat‘ with Craig Chapman of VCE. We had an off-the-cuff chat about the state of datacenter transformations including the massive rate of data growth and the challenges facing customers, the foth-coming wave of Software-Defined Infrastructures, views on shared-nothing technologies, communities, bacon and Chappy’s brother Chad.
My thanks to Simon Seagrave of EMC, who was also a part of the fun; however someone had to man the camera. I invite you to take a peak, it was a entertaining if not informative.
