VMware & NetApp

On our first official day of business we visited VMware and NetApp. One is located in Sunnydale, the other in Palo Alto. When we went to VMware it looked like we stepped on an ecofriendly college campus. They had "no now grass" that doesn't need maintenance it can just be left be year round. VMware spoke highly about how they're all about being green and never let anything go to waste they compost almost everything and anything. The campus itself was 94% sustainable from just recycled goods and only 3% of the energy used throughout the campus was electric. 
However when we went to NetApp they spoke about being ecofriendly but they didn't show it as much. They didn't show solar panels or compost centers they only provided products for eating that were made of recycled materials when they provided us lunch. Both campus were very similar but of the two you could tell who really cared about the environment more. 
Overall it was a great first day out in the valley and to top it off I received an ecofriendly water bottle from our concierge host Jeff Goodall during our visit at VMware.

Until next time,
Kaitlyn
