NetApp's annual technology conference takes place in Las Vegas next week and Cisco is excited to again be a diamond level sponsor for the event. Together, we will highlight Cisco and NetApp's technology alignment, leadership, partnership and raise awareness of FlexPod solutions and momentum.

Cisco's presence at the event will revolve around Cisco and NetApp's joint integrated infrastructure platform -FlexPod. Based on Cisco UCS integrated infrastructure and NetApp storage systems, FlexPod simplifies and modernizes IT with continuous innovation, delivering unmatched application performance, broad support for any cloud strategy, and improved operational efficiency to accelerate data center transformation.

There willbe numerous opportunities for customers and partners to engage with us throughout the week, including keynotes, boot camps, breakout sessions, Meet the Engineer sessions, booth demos and more. Attend a Cisco breakout session for a chance to win a Intel Compute Stick.

The highlight of the event will be the Cisco keynote given by Nick Earle, Senior Vice President, Cloud and Managed Services, on Monday, October 12th.

You can also submit a request for a meeting with Cisco executives and technical experts to get answers to your questions about Cisco data center solutions.
I urge you to visit the Cisco booth to receive a Cisco Go UCS hat and learn about our new FlexPod solutions that simplify IT, enable policy-based infrastructure that is optimized for applications, and support any cloud strategy.
