We're in the keynote theatre and now it's just a waiting game until the opening keynote. A lot of attendees making their way in now.
Crowds are beginning to descend on the conference center here at the MGM Grand, with a steady flow of attendees making their way to the conference ahead of the keynote.

NetApp's data management push is likely to be a big talking point. As with its counterparts elsewhere in the industry, NetApp is no longer a simple hardware company, it's offering a full stack setup for customers spanning hardware, software, and open standards.
