GETSMART...(good to see you again)...and you mention "Larry Orecklin" -Microsoft was very good and was very clear on ANY being a very important partner for MSFT because they can do what no one else can with their disruptive technology.
But is Larry just an Evangelist for MSFT?
"Larry joined Microsoft as General Manager of the rapidly growing System Center and Virtualization Business Group, responsible for product planning, marketing, and delivery of Virtualization solutions and private cloud management solutions."
You prompted an answer from me in mentioning Larry Orecklin....
BEFORE MSFT....Larry was President of Quantum Corp’s Storage Solutions Division (NYSE: QTM) On behalf of Overland " Kelly assembled a group of private equity investors and engineered the purchase of Snap Appliance from Quantum Corp. for $10 million. "
ERIC KELLY, while at Overland Storage, acquired SNAPSERVER line of NAS devices from LARRY ORECKLIN, while Larry was President of Quantum Corp’s Storage Solutions Division (NYSE: QTM)...LARRY then was hired by MSFT to become GM of VISUALIZATION SOLUTIONS....
AS I believe PB has already asked: "have we caught the dog by the tail or has the dog caught us?"
Are we "just" Partners? It was no coincidence that Larry was Keynote speaker at Nasdaq last night for Sphere3D.
Am I hearing the whispering of "come home to mama!" ;-)
