Believe it or not, on Friday March 4th and 5th SunTUG happened – live and in person! The two-day event included a full presentation agenda, catered meals, a happy hour and of course the annual golf outing.
It was great to see friends and colleagues, partners and customers and HPE NonStoppers after over two years of virtual meetings and isolation. A special thanks to the SunTUG board for executing a wonderful event and to the vendor sponsors who joined together to make this all possible. Tampa in early March is always an attraction and many travelled great distances to attend. The sessions were enthusiastically received by the attendees with much valuable dialogue. Don’t forget to pencil SunTUG into your calendar for next year.
HPE’s Director of NonStop sales, Kevin Shabow kicked off the day with a warm welcome and a sincere request of the audience. Everyone was given an index card and Kevin asked three important questions regarding NonStop’s future direction. It was great to see Kevin re-establish this time-honored tradition because listening to our TUG user groups members has been a key factor in the continued success of NonStop.
