Next week, Microsoft will be hosting over 16,000 attendees from over 160 countries at their Worldwide Partner Conference in Houston, Texas. Cisco is again a proud sponsor of this event and complete details about our participation are available on Cisco.com.

Stop by booth#1401 where Cisco will be demonstrating:

• UCS B-Series blade and C-Series rack servers
• What makes our servers the ideal platform for your SQL and Exchange solutions
• Cisco UCS Manager and PowerTool, Cisco's PowerShell utility
• Windows Server 2012 networking featuring Cisco Nexus 1000V

In addition to demonstrating the products and solutions that have catapulted Cisco to the#2 blade server vendor worldwide¹, Rex Backman will be speaking on "Leveraging Cisco Datacenter Assets to Drive Private Cloud Revenue" Wednesday (4:00 -5:00 PM, Hilton America Grand Ballroom D).

Both the Nexus 1000V and FlexPod won Best of TechEd 2013 awards. This was the third year in a row for a Cisco product to be so honored.

We're looking forward to seeing you at WPC.
