One Day Remaining to Vote on VMworld 2010 Sessions

Just a quick reminder that you can influence the sessions that you’ll be able to attend at VMworld 2010 and voting closes tomorrow. As with previous events, this year’s VMworld is gearing up to be fantastic. If you are interested in hearing about solutions, successes, and technologies from partners, customers, or NetApp – I believe there’s a session for you!

Below I’ve provided a list of all NetApp related sessions with partner and customer presentation listed ahead of NetApp driven sessions. Frankly, I find it very impressive to hear customers and partners share what works, how it works, and what they want to work better!
