NetApp Was There, But It Wasn't

NetApp, by sheer coincidence, or maybe not, held its annual sales kickoff at the same time as - and almost across the road from - EMC World. NetApp was in its quiet period as it prepares to release its fiscal 2016 results, Unfortunately, and did not allow channel press (read CRN) into any presentations and declined requests for interviews.

The company had plenty of signs and people waving NetApp placards at the Las Vegas Airport serving a dual purpose: direct the NetApp and SolidFire people to its sales kickoff and grab the eyeballs of EMC World attendees.
