"Working with the Isilon team was one of the greatest professional pleasures I have experienced in my career. I would also like to say, when I had to reach out to the EMC marketing teams, they were awesome. Everyone was willing to help with projects and were all great team-players. Communication is incredibly productive - especially when one considers what a massive company EMC is."
