VMworld is in full swing on Day 2, and the Hands on Lab program is well underway with people looking to walk home with knowledge and skills that have been earned through fingers on the keyboard. This year, VMware was kind enough to offer Netapp, Cisco and EMC and opportunity to participate in the program. As you might imagine we were all excited about the opportunity and dedicated some of our best resources at it.
That said, I’d like to share with you some of the current stats mid-way through the event. Of course, there are 2 and half days or so, so these numbers are likely to change. If you click on the image below, you’ll see that we are doing well as the top partner lab and rank #12 based on all of the labs deployed as of 3:13pm on 8/30.

A very special thanks goes out to the staff: Jim Weingarten, Julian Cates, Peter Learmonth, Nick Howell, Brian Schofer and Lisa Crewe on all of the hard work to showcase a killer NetApp product demonstration set. The labs turned out great and people have walked away very excited about what they learned and how the pieces fit together.
VMworld 2011 is turning out to be an amazing show!!
