It's that time of year again! Time for CommvaultGO. Cisco is excited to be participating in Commvault's annual conference as a diamond sponsor in one of America's most well-known and popular cities Nashville, Tennessee.

Before we get started, as always, I must share a little trivia for all of those withthe Cisco travel bug:

• The tallest skyscraper in Tennessee, the 33-story AT&T Building is known around the world as the "Batman Building" because its facade resembles the shape of the action hero's mask
• Oprah Winfrey got her start in television at Nashville's WLAC-TV while she was still a student at Tennessee State University.
• The city built a full-size replica of the Parthenon for the World Exposition of 1897.

Ok, at this point you may be wondering what Cisco will be doing in Nashville. Hold tight, I will be sharing all of the exciting details.

Over the past year Cisco and Commvault have worked together to develop solutions that help customers scale, manage, and optimize their data without compromise. In September of last year, we launched ScaleProtect? withCisco UCS? and it was the highlight of our presence at CommvaultGO, including the keynote in the video above.

Well....This year it gets even better.
