May 15, 2013 at 11:28 am PST

Welcome to the Season Finale of Season 2 of Engineers Unplugged! It’s the perfect conversation to end with, as Joel McKelvey (NetApp, @joelmckelvey) and Gina Minks (Dell, @gminks) talk about the data center of the future, and the transformations that are necessary within the business. This is well past speeds and feeds, let’s take a look:

And of course, unicorns.

Joel McKelvey and Gina Minks bring the unicorn to the future of data centers everywhere.
