NetApp is going big at Microsoft Ignite and Microsoft Envision this year. These two outstanding events are side-by-side in Orlando, and NetApp has rolled out the red carpet for you, our customers and our partners to deliver a premium experience.

We want your engagement with NetApp to be of value, to educate, to inspire and to make you feel like the VIP you are to us.

Here are the top 7 things you can’t afford to miss next week:

Watch the live demonstration of Azure NetApp Files at our Ignite Booth #600 or at our Envision Booth #4. This newest, first-party Microsoft Azure service for workloads (including anything Open Source, SAP HANA, Oracle/SQL mission-critical tier one apps, and analytics for HDInsight, machine learning, AI and more) is proudly being developed by a joint-team of Microsoft and NetApp engineers. We couldn’t be more excited by the reception this service is already getting.
Schedule a VIP meeting with one of NetApp’s senior leaders – executive or technical. Get 30 – 45 minutes of uninterrupted time where we will explore any topic that matters to you. In the past, attendees have called this meeting “the most important 45 minutes of the entire conference.” We can dive deep into strategy, technology, support, our new cloud partner programs and more. Use this opportunity to discover just how committed NetApp and Microsoft are to helping you solve some of your biggest challenges. Our last few open spots are filling up quickly, so jump on board fast. You can request your meeting time here.
Attend our Reception at BB King’s Blues Club – VIP Meeting attendees will also be invited to our exclusive evening event at BB King’s Blues Club. This intimate networking opportunity will let you socialize with NetApp and Microsoft leaders while enjoying a special evening of food and live music from The Voice finalist, Kris Thomas. Extend your NetApp relationship with us. Invitation only, but we want you there.
Go Deeper at One of Our Presentations – After you watch the Azure NetApp Files demo at the NetApp Booth, go deeper by attending one or more of the following presentations:
Taking on the Most Demanding Enterprise File Workloads with Azure NetApp Files – Andrew Chen, Principal Product Manager, Azure Storage, Microsoft, Ignite Session
Enterprise Storage in Minutes – Lichun Li, Senior Program Manager, Microsoft, Ignite Session
A Quick Intro to Azure NetApp Files – Prashant Desai, Principal Product Manager, NetApp, Ignite Session
Learn How to Accelerate Your Digital Transformation with Cloud – Anthony Lye, SVP & GM Cloud Business Unit, NetApp, Envision Session.
Relax with a Beverage in the Beer Garden (located at Ignite but open to attendees from both conferences). Some of the best meetings happen on-the-fly. That’s why NetApp is excited to be sponsoring the Beer Garden this year. Enjoy a cocktail on us, and spend time casually meeting with your fellow colleagues from all around the world.
Toast Diversity with NetApp and Microsoft Corporate Vice President, Gavriella Schuster. Once again, NetApp is proud to sponsor the WIT Happy Hour from 5-6 on Tuesday, September 25th in the Diversity in Tech Lounge – Ignite Immersion Zone. STEM and diversity initiatives are making us stronger and NetApp is committed to equal opportunities for everyone.
Win an XBox One X and more – We love giving stuff away; this year at Ignite there will be daily draws for an Xbox (valued at $499 each). Drop by the NetApp Booth #600 and get your badge scanned or Tweet #MSIgnite and #DataDriven to win. At Envision, we’re giving away Powerbanks and Bose Headsets. Let’s make YOU one of the winners (you can’t win if you don’t enter).

The entire NetApp team is excited to meet you this year. Make Ignite Booth #600 (ask for me, I’ll be there) or Envision Booth #4 your first stop.. There’s no better place than Microsoft with NetApp for your data and your cloud.
