EMC’s Tough Road to the Post-Infrastructure Future

May 10, 2010 By Stephen 1 Comment

EMC is the 800 lb gorilla of the enterprise storage industry, but the company has much bigger plans.

A Seat At the Table

August 16, 2007 By Stephen Leave a Comment

One of Mr. Toigo's readers posted a thoughtful question about why IT isn't more strategic in their thinking. I started writing this as a comment there, but it got longer and longer and I liked it more and more, so I put it here instead!
