It’s been way too long since I’ve published a blog post.

Enjoyable way to spend a blustery day off, though.

Sometimes stats on a slide just feel true... here's a case.

Looking forward to this #tfdx presentation on NetApp's AI Data Engine. #netappinsight

Watch for yourself on Thursday, October 16 @ 0800 PT when it's live-streamed on Tech Field Day LinkedIn. #NetAppINSIGHT

In today’s #tfdx session, Interesting stat on what would appear to be the largest reason AI projects are abandoned.

Never considered what would go into playing NFL games abroad from a data perspective.

Who knew it was a bring your own infrastructure kinda deal?! For SF49'ers that includes NetApp. #netappinsight

Defense in depth has always mattered. Your data infrastructure layer should offer protection, too.

Netapp is continuing to build on its autonomous ransomware protection.

Yesterday, NetApp announced data breach protection. #netappinsight

Yesterday's #netappinsight keynote tldr.

Day two, we get the stories showcasing this.

Gabie Boko powerfully reframed the idea of legacy as something to be embraced and not a ding. Love this.

"Legacy is synonymous as trust earned. "

After 30 years, NetApp isn't the new guy on the block but there data story continues to evolve. #netappinsight

"Results didn't just come from technology, they come from people." --Gabie Boko #netappinsight

Total truth.

A poem and an offer to hug NetApp's new AFX (disaggregated storage platform purpose built for AI) aren't things I would had on my Keynote bingo card.

Kinda quirky and I'm here for this. #netappinsight

Building blocks for a data platform:

* Data management services
* Metadata engine.
* Unified data storage. ONTAP

#netappinsight

❓What's the software for metadata engine built on? Was it an acquisition?

NetApp has been talking data management for over a decade now.

Interesting to hear the story of how they're evolving to tackle data pipelines. #Netappinsight

Love how George stated with this micro meaningful example and then zoomed out. #NetAppINSIGHT

My favorite memory from last year's #NetAppINSIGHT

@sammoulton.bsky.social seizing the moment and branding host Mario Armstrong's jacket with the #netappateam logo.

Last year, a post-#NetAppINSIGHT hike left me feeling expansive and open in a way I wished I had during the conference. Peopling is not my forte.

This year, I decided to pre-game in one of my favorite hiking areas: Vegas! Isn’t she lovely?
