Subject: SNIA hands on lab

Hi all

=20

As part of SNW fall 2006 Orlando, we participated in the SNIA hands-on
lab. We were part of the virtualization sessions. We had close to 100
end users attending our sessions. (16 users per session) . All of them
were real end users (system admins and storage architects) from
medium/large enterprise organizations.=20

=20

We had 8 filers and pantera with 1.3.3 loaded on all of them. Here are
some of the feedback

=20

- Rave reviews on the new UI

- We had upto 4 concurrent sessions going on at the filers

- Wizards are a big hit

- Layout of the new UI was uniform and received well

- Everything went flawlessly. Considering that pretty much everyone else
(IBM, HDS and SUN) had hiccups, this was no small victory.

- Users spent 2 hours each creating virtual servers, file systems,
snapshots, qtrees and mirrors.=20

=20

I want to thank Kevin Matthews for not yelling at me for waking him at 6
in the morning with problems on the remote sessions. With little advance
notice, he installed a terminal service licenses for me to make this
possible from here.=20

=20

Same goes to Brian, Mike and Sandeep. They all stepped in and helped me
at various times when I had issues. (We had no systems here at the show,
it was all done remotely using vpn and RDP)

=20

Thank you all! This was well worth our time, we are positive that we
will be able to close some deals based on this direct exposure.=20

=20
