Nerdfest 2010 – day 3

Day 3 of Steve Sicola’s Nerdfest 2010

Today has been great discussing everything from existing Emprise 7000 and all corresponding infrastructure, to future products.

The additional tools coming to Xiotech are impressive, to say the least..we’ll leave that there.

Ken Bates, for those who know him, still leaves you with a strong painfull pressure in the back of your head as your brain expands beyond it’s limitations and you can feel something seaping out of your ears as he discusses the formulas of Amdahl’s law, Little’s law; I/O chain, bottleneck analysis, effects of utilization, and more I/o profile than I care to see, for awhile yet…

With the work going on inside of the engineering minds at Xiotech, the coming months will show quite a lot, I am sure (and we all expect!).

Nerdfest 2010 – Day 3

Nerdfest 2010, day 3, and the technology firehose continues.

Today we get to give Architect feedback and then the firehose of knowledge from the likes of Nick Elvester, Paul Dunn, Srini Unnava, Dave “gus”, Ken Bates and Jeff Nicholson. Saving the “fellow” rockstars from COS for last, obviosly!

Open sharing of engineering is awesome, calling these people co-workers is awesome!

Xiotech Nerdfest 2010, day 2

Xiotech Nerdfest 2010

The first day of Nerdfest discussed all the history of ISE (the game changing storage element which is the child of the storage rockstars at Xiotech), the day closed with pots and pots of green chili made by Steve Sicola (CTO, Xiotech), awesome chili and needless to say there was plenty of heartburn later that evening.

There was a great futures discussion with Jim McDonald (CSO, Xiotech), Steve, Brian Reagan (SVP Marketing, Xiotech) and others, while the mass quantities of chili were consumed (brownies needed to tame the heat, btw, hot is HOT). The future holds a lot, we will leave it at that.

More history of ISE to come today with eyes on the future!
