Another week. Another state. Another show.

Today, our team is meeting and greeting folks in Interop Las Vegas 2010 expo hall. Interop touts itself as “the only event to give you a comprehensive and unbiased understanding of all the latest innovations – including cloud computing, virtualization, security, mobility and data center advances – that help position your company for growth,” so we’re in our element.

Led at the conference by our Chairman and CEO Doug Erwin, we’ve had a great time introducing The Planet to this technical audience. Our booth is abuzz with activity, and we’ve already chatted with hundreds of interesting people … And we’re not even through Day 1 yet. The Planet Server Challenge is also popular and is driving traffic.

The Server Challenge garnered a lot of attention at South by Southwest and ad:tech, so bringing it to a geek-dominated conference like Interop was a no-brainer. As you’d expect, crowds around the competition are inevitable:

We’ve already seen a sub-38 second time clocked in, so we’re expecting a miraculous time to win the ASUS Eee PC at the end of this show. Dell actually has a booth here, so we might challenge them to show off their home-server advantage.

If you’re wandering the Interop expo hall floor, make your way to booth 1851 to say hello. When you make it over here, you can try your hand at the Server Challenge and drop your card in our drawing for a Flip UltraHD!
