This week we had life-size fun launching the EMC VSPEX BLUE hyper-converged infrastructure appliance at VMworld 2015. Overlooking the San Francisco skyline, the reception incorporated the product’s “teamwork” theme by featuring an inflatable human foosball field, providing an interactive way for attendees to relax while simultaneously testing their ability to work as a team.

Throughout the event, world-class professional foosball players instructed and challenged attendees at a series of standard foosball tables. DaMarcus Beasley, a member of four United States FIFA World Cup teams, was also on hand to further support the product’s underlying focus on teamwork.

“The event was a smashing success—thanks again to GNF’s creativity, support and hard work. This is the first time I’ve worked an event where I didn’t feel like I had to scramble and check up on everything—you guys had everything under control and it was ran perfectly. I can’t tell you how many times I heard, ‘Whose idea was this???’ [in a good way, of course].” — EMC

GNF also worked with EMC in the past to introduce its unified storage solution, the VNXe. Check out some photos below and see more on our Facebook page!
