Day 2:

   Today we got to tour two companies, they were VMWare and NetApp and they were both similar and different in their own ways. First was VMWare, our tour guide’s name was Jeff Goodall and he has been working there since 2006, VMWare created the ICloud with Apple and the Cloud is used as a way to store data virtually. VMWare is currently transitioning from a cloud based company to more of a service company to expand and broaden themselves more. They are a totally green company and all of their 17 buildings being built completely with recycled materials. The land that they are on is owned by Stanford University and they lease it from them. After VMWare we went and visited NetApp and our tour guide was Evelyn and Justin. They are more of a data storing company which is a little different than VMWare, NetApp was listed at #408 on the Fortune 500 Company listing, and they have 13,000 employees globally. I preferred VMWare over NetApp because I thought VMWare had a better presentation and was more personal, Jeff had so much energy and made it fun and very memorable. That is all for today, tomorrow is a little up in the air but it will be a fun day regardless.
