Matt Hull from @nvidia #NetAppInsight - “Data is heavy. It’s hard to move”. Matt then notes that @NetApp not only manages half the world’s data, but leads the way in data portability. #NetAppATeam

A big thing in #MVP briefings is ‘don’t tell me I can do it - do it for me.’ The intro of auto-Tiering (hard cost savings?!) is a game changer. Reservations for @NetApp 1P services is huge for ppl looking to save w/o sacrificing performance. #NetAppInsight #NetAppATeam

Consumption is the true metric. @NetApp first-party cloud services and in Azure, AWS and GCP saw 114% growth in the last 12 months. #Data is more portable than ever and customers are making their choice clear. #NetAppATeam

Wild stat from the keynote of @NetApp #NetAppInsight - #Forrester 2024 study says incremental GDP contribution of #AI will be $7T per year for the next 10 years. #NetAppATeam

Johnson & Johnson’s Data & AI journey, in their words, summed up: ‘It’s about data portability.’ It’s your data - move it where you need it to be. Govern it how you need to. #NetAppInsight24 #NetAppATeam

Compelling and complete story in the keynote @NetApp #NetAppInsight The key is preparation, and guidance on preparation if you’re still trying to figure out how to build momentum. #NetATeam

@RonOglesby 😱 this is why we change control!

Quote of the day Prospect X we demo'd 7 mos ago: "just called me saying they had a total P1 outage in SAP from a security patch and want to bring convos back to the table" What happened? Security update brought down all users of SAP because of not testing apps post update.

@guyrleech Reading that anyone throws any cable out gives me anxiety! 🤣

Thrown some cables and adapters out today! Mostly car cigarette lighter to unknown ones and some adapters with usb out, some probably 20+ years old. Yes, of course I kept a few

@rodtrent Un…plug? Wishful thinking 😅

How long does it take you to completely unplug from work after you start vacation days? Or do you ever completely unplug?

@Brinkhoff_C A place where you see friends :)

Calling all MVPs. Where’s this?

@RonOglesby It definitely takes some getting used to, that's for sure. Similar story with a buddy and lemon pepper wings - where's the sauce?!

@petroljd You mean spicy ketchup! I had a new bud (cop) to chicago who stopped by harold's and said 'yes' when they asked "Sauce?" poor guy... 'why did they squirt katchup on my chicken!'

If you are from Chicago... You know Harold's.

New post alert - @ControlUp announced an integration with #Windows365 via #Intune at Ignite, and I'm here for it. My thoughts... desktopsforeveryone.com/blog/mic-drop-… #CloudPC

Interesting data coming out of a Forrester study on the value #Windows365 brings to Partners - an ROI of 177%, among other things. Worth a look... cloudpartners.transform.microsoft.com/download?asset… #CloudPC

Longtime #VDI customers & admins will (probably fondly) remember #VDIInABox. Well, there's a new Partner webinar for "#Windows365 Event In A Box" here: cloudpartners.transform.microsoft.com/download?asset… Adding management of services, Defender, etc. are value add opps IMO. #PartnersMakeItHappen #CloudPC

Shout out to @AteraCloud for creating an engaging chatbot - it's fun to troubleshoot via prompts vs. the old school way! I'm facing off against Challenge 3 now... apollo-it.ai/chat Found via #Ignite #MicrosoftIgnite #MSIgnite partners page.

@_POPPELGAARD always has the breaking news... This may be my personal experience (admittedly limited by the subset of workloads I've been exposed to) showing but I see the SKU targets as: 1) Solidworks 2) CAD 3) Animators/high end designers

@NVIDIAGeForce @Rimaeternax For a kid who grew up on Street Fighter 2, this is INSANE to see 🙌

NARAKA: BLADEPOINT is #RTXOn with NVIDIA DLSS 3 👀🍴 📹: @Rimaeternax

The @ControlUp session at #Ignite is very impressive - expert level #AVD and #Windows365 issue & login analysis made easy, all in a logical workflow, with tools to connect with users/machiens and fix whatever you find. ignite.microsoft.com/en-US/sessions… #MSIgnite #MicrosoftIgnite

@editingemily Not a hot take, a shockinglyaccurate one. Not all trauma is the same (abusive or violent vs. mental/self imposed) but myself and most I know have some kind of “never again” that drives them forward. Mine was a bad gig a long time ago - I never wanted that feeling again.

Most of the high performers you know have trauma backgrounds.
