It's actually @ClaireOKeeffe2 apologies!

[Erik Smith @provandal]

And just like that, Smart Fabric Storage Software is generally available! Here's a simple, and absolutely brilliant, explanation by @ClaireOKeefe2. Hey @drjmetz this is "napkin dialogs" level stuff.

America, I’m honored that you have chosen me to lead our great country.

The work ahead of us will be hard, but I promise you this: I will be a President for all Americans — whether you voted for me or not.

I will keep the faith that you have placed in me.

Our SAN session starts in 10 minutes in Palazzo M! Come and join us!
#IWork4Dell @DellTechWorld

[Erik Smith @provandal]

Thinking about NVMe over Fabrics (e.g., FC-NVMe) and how it compares to today's protocols? Feeling pressure to move from FC SAN to Ethernet?

Check out our session!

We've spent the past year working with the protocols and have great info to share! #Iwork4Dell @DellTechWorld

[Erik Smith @provandal]

I felt exactly the same way! 😂 https://t.co/xQZtVUyPDV

I spent 4 hours debugging a multi-threaded lock contention bug in a CLI tool.

Then I watched 2 rockets land up right on their assigned landing pads at the exact same time after launching a vehicle in space.

I quit.
