Speaking

Speaking;

Steve Brunner speaks about the business and /or the technical application of Information Lifecycle Management.  Even though Steve works for the world's largest and fastest growing storage hardware & software company, he does not always represent EMC directly.  Often he is engaged to comment or share about trends and or best practices as they apply to business applications.  Steve also is a founding member of the Indiana Virtualization and Technology Society -and is engaged many times to speak about data center virtualization & best practices.  His style is very relaxed, and interactive... and will make you feel like you are in a one on one conversation.  When possible, he also incorporates live interviews -and real life testimonials -so you do not just take his words for granted, but hear testimonials from those he serves in a daily basis.
