Tech sElect : The EMC Elect community podcast

As we were wrapping up VMWorld Europe (or at least Mark Browne was) Gina Minks (@gminks) and Tony Foster (@wondernerd)discuss virtualising workloads for High Performance Computing and Big Data. Its an interesting proposal that could lead to more efficient and frankly less expensive Big Data projects, opening up the industry to innovation. If you have any further thoughts, please comment here or reach out to Gina and Tony.

We catch up with Dell EMC Elect member Victor Forde of Asystec (@victorforde), in Barcelona with his colleagues Matthew Sheeran (@virtuepedia) and Thomas Kieran. We get their perspectives as partners of both Dell EMC and VMWare on how the show was going for them. A great conversation and good to have Victor back on with us.

The 2 for 1 episode. We start with Matt Liebowitz, (@mattliebowitz) and discuss his hit session in vegas that comes to Barcelona. Matt shares his perspective on the value of Dell EMC Elect and how to become a member. We thewn jum to Dell EMC Elect member Amit Panchal (@amitpanchal76). We get Amit's perspective on the show and tease out some forward looking for him. He's guessing of course and its not set in stone or endorsed by anyone, even Amit ;)
