Paul Perez:
I'm a Chief Technology Officer for the data center group
What I do is, I ask the tough questions actually.

Paul Perez
I'm like a kid in a candy shop.
we actually have more ideas than we have the capacity to productize at one time, which is exactly the kind of problem you want to have.
There's no shortage of ideas and innovation here.

Karen Snell, Cisco
Have you wondered what it's like to be in the middle of a brainstorm? Well, this is it. Surrounded...by ... idea sharing...all happening in real time.

Paul Perez
You're not only sharing ideas, you're also forging alliances because a lot of these guys will connect afterwards and continue working on some of the joint ideas that they came up. Sometimes one plus one can equal three and that's what's going on here.

Monique Morrow
That's innovation. That is innovation. I'm learning a lot, just in the past several minutes, walking around the poster session, learning about what the other groups are doing. Some of the out of the box, no box, thinking. This is, this allows for innovation to occur. This is an example of innovation.

Raghunath Nambiar
Innovation is the freedom to do cool things that you can translate into revenue, I guess. Karen: And you're able to do that here? Ragut: Absolutely.
