Axxana: 100% Relaxed at EMC World 2011

First, a big thank you to everyone who stopped by to see us at EMC World.   Our theme was 100% Relaxed. And while we were very relaxed setting up the booth, we had huge crowds throughout the week, as everyone wanted to visit our Data Lifeguards.

Axxana Data Lifeguards in Action

I hope that they helped you relax just a little.  If we did nothing else, we proved two things:

1. Our lives are filled with series of unexpected events
2. If you prepare properly, you will still be able to relax

Our CEO, Eli Efrat, appeared on The Cube, looking very relaxed, and talked evolution and revolution, the progress that Axxana has made over the past year, Axxana’s ability to augment RecoverPoint, enabling synchronous replication over any distance, reducing peak-load communication costs, and eliminating the need for additional data centers. We help you turn a very small investment into a tremendous financial impact. You can watch a replay of his interview with Dave Vellante of Wikibon here, including a surprise visit by The Stig.

One way that EMC’s customers are trying to relax more is by moving applications and infrastructure to the cloud.  In keeping with that, we have stayed in lockstep with our partner, EMC, by supporting VCE Vblock together with EMC RecoverPoint.  In case you don’t know, VCE Vblocks are the integrated building blocks from VMware, Cisco and EMC, to enable rapid deployments of private clouds. Rick Walsworth, the Director of Product Marketing for EMC’s Infrastructure Management Group and a huge champion for EMC’s RecoverPoint software, appeared on The Cube and talked about the importance of protecting data, when applications are moved into the cloud.  His interview with Dave Vellante  and John Furrier of Silicon Angle is here.

We had hundreds of meetings at EMC World, but we aren’t done getting the message out.  More details to come, but we will be bringing our theme of relaxation to a series of lunch and learn events around the U.S.  I hope to see you at one of our upcoming events.
