Thanks a lot, Calvin, great recommendations! Checked and scheduled.

PS: Time to change your avatar, maybe a Primera emerging from the chest? XD

@mauro - LOL, your right about my avatar. Funny story - that was actually a friend who took an image from an EMC blogger, pasted my head on the body and it had an EMC array coming out. I thought it was great but changed it to a 3PAR and have used it ever since but it is getting a little old. I'll use a "Storage Godfather" image next. 

And by the way, stay tuned as we'll have more information about all the storage content that will go live the week of July 6 which includes our live storage spotlight session.
