Storage Field Day Exclusive Comes to Pure Accelerate 2017

Foskett Services is proud to announce that we are bringing the Storage Field Day experience to Pure Accelerate 2017! On June 12 through 14, nine Tech Field Day delegates will head to San Francisco for exclusive briefings and direct engagement with Pure Storage executives and customers. This is part of our Field Day Exclusive program, which tailors our event for a single company.

In the past five years, Storage Field Day events have generated exceptional technical conversations seen and heard throughout the enterprise IT community. The event series brings the most innovative and influential companies together with independent technical experts to facilitate these conversations. And our pro video team captures and shares these discussions with a worldwide IT audience through our YouTube channel, Facebook page, and web site.

As Pure Storage expands their Accelerate conference, it was natural that we would bring an exclusive Storage Field Day event to the event. Nine prominent storage experts will join the presenters from Pure Storage in San Francisco to hear the latest announcements and technical deep dives on their all-flash storage portfolio.

Pure Storage has made many exciting moves in the enterprise storage world, including the launch of the first all NVMe flash storage array, the FlashArray//X, earlier this year. The Storage Field Day Exclusive delegates will get a front row seat on this kind of innovation. Combined with their technical questions and industry perspective, the event truly has its own unique voice in the enterprise IT landscape.

This year, Pure Accelerate will be in San Francisco from June 12-14. This Storage Field Day Exclusive event is poised to stand out in an event already expected to have its own share of interesting speakers and presentations. Watch our web site, YouTube channel, and Facebook page for video from the event.

Storage Field Day 8 Brings the Enterprise Storage Industry Together

This week marks the largest Tech Field Day event ever. Storage Field Day 8 will see 10 companies, from hot new companies like Cohesity and Infinidat to industry stalwarts like Nimble Storage and Intel, present to our panel of independent delegates. These writers and speakers were brought from around the world to learn, discuss, and share insight with our presenters. Like all Tech Field Day events, Storage Field Day 8 will be broadcast live on the Internet for all to see.

As implied by the name, this is the eighth Storage Field Day event produced by Foskett Services for Gestalt IT. With two focused events per year, this wraps our fourth year of Storage Field Day events and brings us close to the sixth year overall for Tech Field Day events.

In that time, Storage Field Day has seen the launch of exciting companies like Coho Data and Primary Data, who will both return for this event. We have also watched the development of Pure Storage, NexGen Storage, and Violin Memory, who have returned to the event frequently over the years.

Every Tech Field Day event features a delegate panel made up of of a dozen independent experts, and Storage Field Day 8 continues our tradition of mixing newcomers and familiar faces. Alex Galbraith and Josh De Jong are joining us for the first time, joining sophomore delegates Vipin V.K. and Jarett Kulm. This will be the third Tech Field Day event for Jon Klaus, Dan Frith, and Mark May. Rounding out the event are Field Day veterans, Ray Lucchesi, Enrico Signoretti, Scott D. Lowe, and Howard Marks.

Our delegates were selected by their peers through a process of nomination and voting. All were vetted on the basis of their technical expertise and storage focus and independent-mindedness. Becoming a Tech Field Day delegates is also a recognition for the contributions they have made to sharing their knowledge through social media and events. Most write popular blogs or contribute to industry publications, and many speak frequently at live or online events.

We invite the public to tune in for Storage Field Day 8 throughout the week. Live broadcasts will be hosted at the Tech Field Day web site and video will be shared on our YouTube channel. Those wishing to be part of the discussion can join in using the #SFD8 hashtag on Twitter.
