At SC14 in November 2014, Coke and Sylvia Reed generously hosted a celebration of the Data Vortex public product launch aboard the Steamboat Natchez in New Orleans. The event was well attended by Data Vortex members, family, friends, and HPC industry professionals. Guests enjoyed traditional Cajun fare, dancing to the Dukes of Dixieland, and entertainment provided by a local magician, banjo players, and dancers.
