Changes in Technology Drive Changes in IT Organizations and Roles

April 24, 2011 By Stephen Leave a Comment

Lots of my IT infrastructure management clients are talking about how the advent of Ethernet/IP and virtualization is changing the roles of storage, server, and network administrators. The evolution of the storage role in particular in enterprise IT organizations has been a topic of particular interest to me for a while: I definitely remember thinking about this as iSCSI and … [Read more...] about Changes in Technology Drive Changes in IT Organizations and Roles

November 21, 2008 By Stephen 2 Comments

I continue to be amazed by the level of interest I'm seeing in Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and 10 Gb Converged Ethernet among storage people. As I noted after my Charlotte virtualization seminar, end users at the largest enterprises seem to think that FCoE is their future, not just one of several options. But when will 10 Gb and FCoE arrive? Dave Raffo and I discussed … [Read more...] about Storage Folks Are Talking 10-Gig and FCoE
