Sub-Standard Deployments: VMware’s Achilles Heel

September 11, 2012 By Stephen 3 Comments

VMware vSphere is a truly remarkable product that has redefined the idea of "unprecedented disruption" in the IT infrastructure market.

But no company is invincible, and VMware's Achilles … [Read more...] about Sub-Standard Deployments: VMware’s Achilles Heel

July 31, 2012 By Stephen 3 Comments

If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs…
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting…
