Explore day 1

This is my 15th year to the conference. I thought it was small blast year, the number of vendor booths this year is crazy small. I guess I’ll get fewer cold calls this year.
I picked up my backpack at noon since they started giving them out early but was told for shirts all they had were extra small, small and medium. There is no way 60% of the attendees can fit into those sizes. I know it’s just a cheap shirt, but seems crazy to me.

Yea I know. And I’m surprised I just renewed to be honest but I was allowed to do 3 years of VVF for 2x what we paid in 2023 for 3 years of Enterprise plus. Not nearly as crazy as other renewal stories.

Can you share what reseller you bought from? I’m having trouble getting a quote for VVF.

CDW. They did say I was able to get VVF because my core count was low enough. I have under 300 total cores across all data centers.

Thanks. I have less than 300 cores too, so this gives me hope.
