It’s been a very busy but exciting week here in San Jose, CA attending Networking Field Day 11.

We had presentations from Skyport Systems, NetScout (formerly Fluke), Big Switch, Silver Peak, Dell, Cisco and Citrix. The folks over at Gestalt IT brought together a who’s who list of technology and networking professionals, and I was honored to be included among them. The discussions covered a wide breadth of topics and technology. Over the next few weeks I hope to find the time to post some of my thoughts and perspective on each of the presentations.

It was great to meet Brandon, Dominik, Ethan, Greg, Jason, John, Jon, Jordan, Matt, Phil, Terry, Stephen and Tom. If you missed any of the presentations you can see them again by visiting the Tech Field Day website and clicking on the specific presentations made at Networking Field Day 11.

I had hoped to be writing this from the plane but I’m currently writing this from the Biltmore Hotel and Suites since my return flight was canceled. I’ll hopefully be flying out tomorrow via Chicago and then on to Philadelphia. I’m hearing that the snow is really falling and blowing in the Philadelphia suburbs thanks to Winter Storm Jonas. The forecast is for 18″-24″ of snow for the Philadelphia area. I’m not sure I would describe it as a snowmageddon, but there’s definitely going to be a lot of snow to deal with whenever I return to Philadelphia. I can only imagine what the economy parking lot will look like at the Philadelphia airport.

Stay safe everyone!

Cheers!
