Networld Interop pics
This week I have been in New York at the Networld Interop show. I have to say, it was kind of slow. You have to think twice about a Networking event where Cisco and F5 are not even there.
But I still had a great time in New York. The hotel where I stayed was also hosting the Clinton Global Initiative, so I got to see a few dignitaries and heads of state walking by from time to time, always surroudned by security detail. The celebrities I actually spotted in the hotel lobby were:
- Bill Clinton (twice)
- Madeline Albright, former secretary of state
- Colin Powell, former secretary of state
- Richard Branson, CEO of Virgin Atlantic
- Shimon Peres, Israel's Minister of Foreign Affairs
- Chris Tucker, from the Rush Hour movies with Jackie Chan
One of the other Citrites at the show said that he spotted Bill Gates at the hotel too. You know it's a slow show when the hotel is more exciting!
Here are a few pictures of the Citrix booth at Interop...
As you can see, we had a racing theme for the booth, because Citrix accelerates application delivery. There was a little race track where attendees could race little remote control cars around a speedway with obstacles to get past like a DDOS gravel pit, a web security hole and a latency speed bump. The five fastest lap times each day won a Playstation Portable.
