Now thats a great question. I'd be curiuos to know as well.

@aarondelp I vote for @cohodata ... but alas I am biased too ;)

@aarondelp Solidfire might be on the wrong side of the street if the flash mkt shifts

+1 for Docker!

I like @epowell101 new company stackstorm

@abhojwani Sorry... no way I couldn't take a swing at that one... Seriously, Best one I've seen lately is Platform9, VMW alumni

we like to think we will make an impact at VMworld but maybe we are biased :)

I think that there is a #bigdata company out there we haven't seen playing in the cloud that will be disruptive..I'm looking for that wave

@aarondelp Platform9 concept is good, but imo, they are a little late to the game

@furrier Ah, but SolidFire is way more than flash... don't want to make this a product pitch so let's talk offline sometime. I do agree though that a market shift could put others in danger. Good point

@vsamurai_com For your sake (and mine) I hope @cohodata makes a good run of it! We need to catch up Chris!

@aarondelp Same to you, Aaron.

@aarondelp i'll be at the their beer party to get the scoop. I think they are doing too much spreading to thin but i need the update

@cohodata +1 Coho

thinks there's too many SDS start-ups. I guess we're proving his point... LOL ;)

@abhojwani I think are hitting it at the right time. Few competitors in the space right now and evolving product right as OpenStack "buzz" is shifting to hosted management.

@furrier Beers on me Monday John!

Too many damn vExperts went to storage companies. There's your problem right there... oh, wait...

Shawn Cannon

@aarondelp HA! I am a vExpert that is just an average day to day user of VMware. Should I find a storage company to go work for? ;-)

Coho Data

In general companies that can show value to their customers quickly, identify customers paint points and show how they solve it all in a 45 sec pitch will make splashes :)

Not sure I call Nutanix a new company but they are disrupting with their approach

Gregg Holzrichter

Looking forward to introducing more folks to @Atlantis_USX - moved beyond just VDI workloads to accelerating any VM workload and reducing capacity by 90%. Nice value prop to work with...

Scott Davis

#VMworld turing into a storage conference this year with all the new players. @Infinio included! I'll be laying out the 5 new storage architectures in an unbiased manner @vbrownbag 1PM Monday. That said, I vote for #Docker as most disruptive.
