#MichaelDell today in his Keynote speech took no shot at #HPE. #EMC has to work with HPE. @Furrier #theCUBE http://bit.ly/2qMgCN...

Bert Latamore
#Cisco has chosen to embrace Open Source. Never bet against #Cisco. @PGillin #theCUBE http://bit.ly/2qMgCN...

Facebook & Google are very successful software companies who make little or no money from selling software. @PGillin #theCUBE http://bit.ly/2qMgCN...
