In a few short years, Data Domain created and dominated a strategic new market for data backup, went public, and finally, last June, was purchased by EMC for over $2B. That’s a lot of dough.
The secret to Data Domain’s transformation during those years was Donuts. And Donut Emails, like the following:
"Today's Donut Sponsor is Peter "Action" J., who is a Senior Software Engineer here at Data Domain. One of Peter's skills is that he talks "Python." Of course, this is not your normal, everyday, National Geographic Special kind of Python. Peter does not have a pet snake that he can command to slither out of the lab and through the networking cables and crawl out from under your desk and consume you like the Alien almost did to Sigourney Weaver. No, Python is a computer language that allows Peter to give instructions to our servers."
The Donut Emails is a unique and entertaining account of a very successful Silicon Valley startup and the amazing, talented, and dedicated people who made it happen.
