Virsto “Storage in Virtualized Environments” Haiku Contest: The Winners Are…

After an exciting month of poetry-meets-storage in virtualized environments, we are happy to announce the winners of our first ever Haiku contest. The contest pulled in almost 100 creative haikus and we are pleased to have decided on a winner of the iPad 3 grand prize as well as the second and third place cash prize winners.

The Twitter-based contest asked contestants to share a haiku poem via Twitter expressing their best or worst storage experiences in virtualized environments in a fun way. From the hilarious to the uncanny, we saw a little bit of everything. The judging panel had a difficult (but fun) time choosing a winner.
