One company's elevator pitch we'll be highlighting: Fusion-io.
Gary Orenstein, Fusion-io's senior VP of Product says his company's purpose is to make the world's data go faster. Data is everywhere -- the cloud, the web -- but it's on disk, which is too slow for many of today's demanding data needs. With Fusion-io's IoDrives and Ion Data Accelerator software, data center managers can build solid-state, flash-based storage arrays across physical and virtual servers more cost effectively.

We'll hear Orenstein boil all of this down into his 3-minute elevator pitch on Valley View.
