As Ashwath mentioned in his blog a few days ago, we were scheduled to present to Tech Field Day delegates yesterday (March 29). The event was streamed live from our site, and snippets of the presentations will be made available on the same page within a few days.
In looking through the Twitter feed for #NFD3 yesterday, I saw some quotable and humorous quotes that I’m reproducing below:

2011 has been a memorable year here at Infineta. Here are a few things that come to the top of my mind:

I met with a prospective customer last week that happens to be one of the largest Internet portals in the world, with tens of data centers across the US as well as in Europe and Asia. One would think that with such an expansive infrastructure, some form of WAN optimization solution would already be in place across data centers. When I asked which WAN optimization solution they had deployed to date, the chief network architect laughed at me and said: “We have over 100Gbps connectivity between most of our data centers. There’s no way we would deploy hundreds of 1Gbps-capable devices at each site!” He then went on to tell us his previous experience with other WAN optimization solutions, and how he bought a pair from a vendor and was using them to decorate the storage shelves in his lab.

Before each customer deployment, our sales engineers work with the customer to fill out what we call a “Pre-site Survey,” where we collect information such as network diagrams, deployment and security concerns and any application-specific gotchas. Naturally, the most important metric we discuss with customers is their criteria for success, and we make sure that we “sell” the solution in terms of the outcomes that the customer is interested in.
In a recent customer discussion, the customer shared the following information:

One of the best parts of my job is meeting some incredibly smart people who are pushing the envelope at all levels of networking. Seeing new technologies in use at Google and Yahoo! is one thing, but meeting enterprise IT guys who are experimenting and actively deploying the likes of Hadoop and Cassandra to fulfill their internal customers’ “big data” needs is truly inspiring. To top it off, if these IT guys are deploying their Hadoop clusters across multiple data centers and are building their WAN infrastructure to support multi-terabyte data transfers per day, that’s just magical!

I used to love watching “A” Team reruns when I was a kid. I always loved how the team would design some ingenious contraptions using “off the shelf” items and take down much larger opponents. My favorite part in every episode was when Hannibal Smith would light up a cigar towards the end and say: “I love it when a plan comes together.”
Our in-field trials are progressing extremely well, and we are successfully proving our performance claims in customer environments. The sales team is keeping us all extremely busy with customer meetings and the interest level is rising steadily.
If you have any specific queries for any of us here at Infineta, please feel free to drop me an email (haseeb at infineta dot com) and I’ll be happy to get your question(s) addressed.
I love it when a plan comes together. :-)
