We’ve just returned from a whirlwind trip out to Las Vegas for Data Center World Global, held at Mandalay Bay. As we settle back into the office, we’re catching up on meeting notes, following-up on the multitude of briefings held with clients and industry journalists, and sorting through various piles of business cards. Data Center World is always such a great opportunity for us to see our clients and learn about new advancements in various facets of the industry. While in Vegas, we also stopped through the Channel Partners Conference at the Venetian. It was great seeing client Hurricane Electric and learning more about an industry in which many of our clients take part, in one aspect or another. Of course one of our trip highlights was our annual Data Center Reception, held for the third year running in a suite at the Cosmopolitan. Our pictures don’t quite do it justice! It’s a spectacular view and we really enjoy bringing clients, colleagues, press and end users all together for a little soiree.
This year’s photo editorial of our trip is a long one! Enjoy browsing through. We hope to see you there next year!
