Back From the Pile: Interesting Links, February 4, 2011

February 7, 2011 By Stephen 1 Comment

I spent last week tying up loose ends before Tech Field Day 5 in San Jose. It's going to be a great event, with presentations by Symantec, Drobo, Xangati, NetEx, InfoBlox, HP, and a new company making their US launch! In the mean time, I am working hard to wrap up the Small Enterprise Storage Array Buyers' Guide for DCIG and continuing my regular work - spreading the word about … [Read more...] about Back From the Pile: Interesting Links, February 4, 2011

Back From the Pile: Interesting Links, January 21, 2011

January 23, 2011 By Stephen Leave a Comment

Last week was cut short by attendance at EMC's "Record Breaking" product launch. I covered the shenanigans and marketing antics already, and will dive deeper into the technical and product announcements later. Next week I'll be at The Exec Event in Palo Alto, but have some posts ready to roll while I'm away!

EMC Taunts NetApp: Counting Coup or Poor Sportsmanship?

EMC's press and analyst event was equally notable, with a large crowd of insiders (including me) brought to New York City to watch a sideshow of world records set. Although Wall Street noticed all the fuss and rewarded the company with a decade-high … [Read more...] about EMC Taunts NetApp: Counting Coup or Poor Sportsmanship?

Is NFS v3 Really That Bad?

October 6, 2010 By Stephen 9 Comments

The purple prose is flying, with Chad Sakac declaring himself "a big fan of the application of NFS" and Chuck Hollis extolling the "inherent simplicity and ease-of-management of NFS." The NetApp … [Read more...] about Is NFS v3 Really That Bad?

Consulting Is A Perilous Business But Credibility Is What Matters

March 26, 2009 By Stephen 4 Comments

I've called myself a "vendor-independent storage consultant" for more than a decade now, but my good friend, Greg Schultz, recently challenged me on that statement. Sure, I haven't worked for a vendor of tin boxes and spinning rust, or the software that runs the stuff, but I'm firmly rooted in the supply side of things. As a provider of consulting services, I just happen to be … [Read more...] about Consulting Is A Perilous Business But Credibility Is What Matters

For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.
