Here are some upcoming events related to IBM Storage!

OVU2013

If you sell IBM and/or Oracle solutions, please join me for IBM Oracle Virtual University 2013!

A few weeks ago, I recorded a session on IBM Storage: Overview, Positioning and How to Sell that will be available on demand starting tomorrow, February 26th, at the IBM Oracle Virtual University 2013.

It's one of 65 new sessions that will help IBM to surround Oracle applications with IBM infrastructure, services and industry solutions. Oracle software, after all, runs best on IBM hardware. Other highlights of Oracle Virtual University include a live executive State of the Alliance session with Q&A, Oracle keynote, updates by Oracle product managers, sessions on PureSystems, Selling IBM into an Oracle environment, Cloud, and much more.

Visit the [Orace Virtual University 2013 Registration page] to register.

(Update: For employees of IBM, Oracle and their respective business partners, the replays for this event is available until Feb 26, 2014. Visit the [Orace Virtual University 2013 Replay page])

There will be live technical teams on hand throughout launch day to answer your questions in real time, so I hope you can carve out 30 minutes or more on February 26th to take advantage of these available resources.

Pulse2013

After helping launch the first Pulse back in 2008, I have sadly not been back since. Last year, I was invited to attend as a last-minute replacement for another speaker, but I was busy [having emergency surgery].

This year's [Pulse 2013] conference looks amazing. It will be held in Las Vegas, Nevada. Guest Speaker Payton Manning, NFL 4-time MVP football player, and Carrie Underwood, 6-time Grammy award winner, join IBM's Software Group executives and experts on how IBM Tivoli can help optimize your IT infrastructure.

Sadly, once again, I will not be there at Pulse. This time, I will be on the East Coast visiting clients instead, but my on-premise correspondent, Tom Rauchut, has informed me that he will be there. Hopefully, he will provide me something to write about.

Storage-Expo2013

Later in March, I will be in Brussels, Belgium for the Storage Expo. This is held March 20-21, at the Brussels-Expo venue. I will be presenting several topics each day, as well as visit clients in the area. This event comes on behalf of IBM Belgium in association with IBM Business Partner IRIS-ICT.

If you plan to participate in any of these events, let me know!

Kent, When I asked if this was only for IBMers, I was told it was for both IBMers and non-IBMers, but you are correct, it turns out that the non-IBMers they referred to were specifically IBM Business Partners, Oracle, and Oracle's business partners. Sorry for the confusion. -- Tony

Tony, Is your blog intended for internal IBM or business partner use only? I have to ask because the IBM Oracle Virtual University is open only to IBM and Oracle employees. I was rather disappointed when I attempted to sign up and the site would not let me because I am not with IBM, Oracle or an IBM business partner.
