Tech Field Day 7 starts this morning and I am excited to get to our first presenter, Solarwinds (they have Tacos!).  After we eat our Tacos and hear about Solarwinds we will move onto Symantec and then to Dell.  You can follow the action on twitter or watch it live, right after the break!

Austin isn’t ready for this!

When you have 13 geeks (plus a Foskett, not sure what to classify him as) transcending on a city at the same time there will be shenanigans. This is exactly what is going to happen tomorrow!

I will be joining a great group of tech bloggers at Tech Field Day 7.  It will be two days of amazing information and discussions revolving around data center technologies.  Sponsoring the event will be SolarWinds (@SolarWinds_Inc), Symantec (@Symantec), Veeam (@Veeam) and Dell (@Dell_Storage).  My fellow TFD 7 deleates are below!

TechVirtuoso’s very own Frank Owen is in San Jose, California this week participating in Gestalt IT Tech Field Day. Those of you sitting at home can watch the whole event live via the Gestalt IT website. But the group posted a welcome video (above) with a few of the bloggers, including Frank.

Over the two days Frank will be hearing from 7 sponsors, from storage providers to chipset giants and enterprise monitoring leaders. Check back later today and tomorrow for more updates from Frank.

This will be the first event that will be streamed live from Gestalt IT, the events organizer.  I am expecting two action packed days full of tweeting, blogging and good discussion.  If you have any questions you want asked to the sponsors post your questions in the comments or message me on Twitter.
