Tech Field Day at Cisco UCS Grand Slam
September 4, 2014
Who: Networking, Tech
What: Cisco, Exclusive, Experience, Live
When: Past
New York

“When UCS was born it shook up many of the fundamental assumptions of what data center infrastructure should be expected to do and what IT could do to accelerate business. With this launch, history repeats itself, as we work to help customers future proof the data center for change tomorrow and transformation today. Our development team has taken the next stride in the journey of re-inventing computing at the most fundamental levels, to power applications at every scale.” – Todd Brannon, Cisco Data Center and Cloud Blog, The Bases are Loaded for a Cisco UCS Grand Slam

Tech Field Day joins Cisco in New York for the UCS Grand Slam event.
