The word came in last night from our staff working the Microsoft TechEd show in New Orleans: FlexPod with Microsoft Private Cloud wins Best of TechEd in the System Management and Operation category. 

Congrats to the FlexPod team for creating and getting to market this award winning offering -- and thanks to the community of technology partners, resellers, consultants and users who are making FlexPod the most exciting story in IT today.

I expect there will be more info about the awards available on the show site and related awards sites later today.
