Cisco Live Day 1 videos
Over ten thousand people descended on the Moscone Center in San Francisco. It’s fantastic weather here this week and since the Moscone Center spans a few buildings, people get a few glimpses of daylight in between classes, keynotes and pavilion hours.
I had the opportunity to shoot 2 videos with Cisco on the first day.
First I sat down with Kash Shaikh to discuss FCoE. With the T11 standards now past committee, customers can now confidently start evaluating and deploying the technology. We discussed things from the storage (FC) perspective. We’re hoping to shoot a second video later this week where we will discuss FCoE from the networking (Ethernet) perspective.
As I mentioned in my previous post, Cisco is using the latest technologies to extend the conference experience to those who can’t attend in person. One of the ways that they are doing this is by having a short video each day with bloggers, discussing what is happening at the show. Since things were just kicking off on Monday, James Urquhart, Chris Hoff and I talked about what we’re going to be doing and what technologies we’re excited to see.
In the video, I mentioned a VMware demo of VMotion over distance. The blog post discussing this is http://blogs.vmware.com/networking/2009/06/vmotion-between-data-centersa-vmware-and-cisco-proof-of-concept.html.
