An old note, but the topic seems to fit my needs...

Is there a presentation or set of presentations that shows *all* of 
StorageWorks?  I can find incredibly focused presentations on controllers,
enclosures, storage command console software, storage management software,
RAID solutions, etc, but I can't find one that acts as an overview.

I am going to a lot of customers, and trying to re-build relationships
that were not maintained over the last few years.  In almost every case
they remember our storage products fondly, but don't have a clue about
what our products look like today.  They don't want incredibly detailed
information on controllers, they want an overview of the entire product
line, with just enough detail to spark questions, on which the presenter
can then go deeper as needed.

I have built this presentation many times over the last few years, by
taking those detailed presentations and removing 80% of the slides, and
merging the remainder into one presentation.  I know of several of my peers
who are also doing this.  But I figured that it would be more reasonable to 
have the StorageWorks Marketing people do it, so that it would be exactly
what you wanted it to say, and it would be less work across the corporation.

Any thoughts/pointers/ideas?  Thanks in advance...

    Contact your local storage specialist, he should be able to forward
    something to you.

I did before I posted this note (he is excellent and has helped me out many
times), and all he had was the focused ones as well.  He was one of the
people I was referring to who has been making them up on his own...

Shouldn't there be something like these on the public WWW pages, or on the
BusinessLink page?

2135.5Soon from Storage Marketing homepage?COPCLU::GREGGreg Parker @DMO, 857-2454Mon Feb 24 1997 04:2315

	I would also like to se a 'centrally' maintained StorageWorks
	overview presentation accesible from WWW, IR and likes. I think
	it could save a lot of time, and at the same time have the best 
	possible presentation available for the field...

	The Storage Marketing homepage:

        http://www.imc.das.dec.com/swrks/sw_mktg/swmktghm.htm

	has for some time now had an entry called "Soon! Presentations", 
	so it looks like our work will be made easier soon.
