EMC staff recreate Gangnam Style

Vice president Chad Sakac leads storage vendor's tribute to Psy's dancefloor filler

An EMC senior vice president has taken a break from his systems engineering role to star in the vendor's very own version of Psy's Gangnam Style.

Chad Sakac and his "giddyups", which include a variety of EMC staff, can be seen "rocking the datacentre" in the video, which features specially adapted lyrics.

The video has had nearly 22,000 views on YouTube since it was uploaded last week, and took nine hours to record, according to Sakac.

In his blog, he said: "This was recorded in the waning hours of Q4 in late, late December ([it] was the last thing I did before flying home for the holidays)...

"In fact, it [took] about nine hours to record, and I was popping in and out to meet with customers and various folks at Cisco as we recorded it at the EMC campus in Santa Clara.

"It's done on a shoestring budget, after everyone does their day jobs, and most importantly – on a spirit of EMC fun."
