Build Day number two is in the can, we had a great week in Silicon Valley with Pure Storage. We initially thought we wouldn’t have enough content for a Build Day with Pure. The array deployment is a 30-minute task, and from there it is simple to operate. Happily, we realized that we could show more than day 1, we could show a lot of the day two operations. We got to see some radical simplicity in the management of the Flash Array and did a whole lot of lifecycle operations on the array. You can see the live part of the build day in this video, and all of the Pure Storage build day videos in this playlist.

It was our first time making vBrownBag video at Dell/EMC World, despite having so many friends at both companies. We had an interesting mix of community presentations and people from inside Dell/EMC. Two interesting presentations were by Dell/EMC fellows, Radia Perlman and Steve Todd, these are people valued for thinking about the future of IT.

What an amazing week. My first time getting out of the airport in Houston. The first vBrownBag Build Day. Also, my first hands-on time with HC380. We used YouTube live streaming for the first time and even used FaceBook live video too. I was reminded how long it has been since I was in a datacenter after midnight. I also had Fuzzies tacos for the first time and went to the NASA space center Houston.
