Day 3 was another big day at EMC World. It was the last day the Exhibition hall was open, and we went out with a bang. The big press release news of the day was that the Brocade Encryption Switch won the EMC Partner Solution Award for Best New Offering for RSA.
At 2 PM we held the drawing for our big $10,000 give away. Brocade VP Charlie Leeming was on hand as master of ceremonies to announce the winner. Four runners up were awarded iPads before the final drawing for the grand prize. After a couple of false starts due to no-shows, the prize was ultimately awarded to the gentleman in the picture on the left. Pictures from the ceremony, as well as pictures of the runners up can be found on Flickr. Congratulations to all the winners!
At 4:15 PM we had the distinct honor of being interviewed by EMC’s Stuart Miniman, broadcasting live from the Blogger’s Lounge at EMC World. On the hot seat were Doug Ingraham, Brocade Vice President of Product Management, and myself, to talk about Converged Networking and the EMC/Brocade partnership. Mr. Miniman was a gracious host, as always, asking good questions and speaking highly of our 10+ year partnership. The entire interview is available here for replay if you missed it.
At 5PM, Roger Bouchard wrapped up a long day with our final session on the award winning Brocade Encryption Switch. Even though sessions continued on Thursday, this marked the end of the line for us, as exhibitors starting breaking down their booths for shipping. Soon we were all moving to the final evening event, the Beantown Bash at Faneuil Hall.
