The week of the 2010 VMware Partner Exchange (PEX) was one of great accomplishment. The conference started out on Monday Feb. 8, the day BlueLock launched BlueLock CloudSuite, a comprehensive offering of cloud hosting solutions. The news took off and the PEX excitement began.
Kim and I drew large crowds at the BlueLock booth as we challenged visitors to test their "Cloud IQ." Many walked away with enough points to earn a Starbucks gift card while other weren't so lucky and had some studying to do!
While we manned the booth, BlueLock's executives kept busy with many of our current partners such as Consonus, F5, DoubleTake Software, and of course, VMware representatives. BlueLock's engineering and development squad, which was filled with a few new faces to the BlueLock team, found great value in the training breakouts and the time they spent with other virtualization experts from around the globe.
Tuesday morning, BlueLock's VP of Sales, Brian Wolff and Casey Watson of Apparatus took the stage at the PEX keynote address to spread their knowledge and expertise around creating meaningful and successful partnerships between cloud hosting providers (BlueLock) and managed service providers (Apparatus). BlueLock and Apparatus have worked together in a number of cloud hosting projects with great success. That success stemmed from each company doing what they do best while creating a partnership of understanding and strong communication. Brian and Casey's participation in the PEX keynote helped to build heavy traffic at the BlueLock booth, which made Kim and I very happy!
Tuesday evening, BlueLock CEO John Qualls, CTO Pat O'Day, and Chairman Mark Hill attended an exclusive dinner to receive BlueLock's honors as Americas VMware Service Providers Program Partner of the Year and Global runner-up. The following morning, the entire BlueLock team gathered at the regional breakout for the Americas where the award was announced in front of the entire congregation.
BlueLock was thrilled to receive such an honor. We couldn't have done it without our expert team and our faithful clients who have made us who we are. Congratulations to the entire BlueLock family and our friends, our clients, for a great year of accomplishment in 2009. Here's to a great 2010!
