With part one of my whole home computing make-over complete, it’s time to get finish up on the lab! There are tons of other great blogs out there that talk about home labs (like this one, and this one, and this one, and this one, and Continue Reading →
Me! Ha! I know, right? Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling! Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes… The dead rising from the grave! Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together… mass hysteria! (What movie is that from?)
All kidding aside, this feels like a weight off my shoulders and [...]
Continue Reading →With my employer having EMC as a parent company, it’s not surprising that data, and all of the ways it impacts the strategy, operations and execution of businesses of every size, is a topic that comes up often. The interesting part is seeing for myself how much data matters on a day-to-day basis in lots [...]
Continue Reading →I have developed a strange fondness for my home lab that is wholly unexpected. It started as a way for me to get some real stick time with some of the technologies that I work with and talk to customers about every day, and has transformed into part Zen garden, part hobby and part pseudo [...]
Continue Reading →It’s good to see that VCE isn’t the only converged infrastructure stack provider out there who has realized that solutions are going to be hugely important to customers. As part of the team who is tasked with finding out what our Service Provider customers want to implement on top of Vblocks, working with the VCE [...]
Continue Reading →The VMware keynote at EMC World 2011 focused on defining the move into a "post-PC" world. It's been a fairly common refrain for VMware for the last couple years, but in this particular keynote I got the impression that we seem to be preparing for a world where the hypervisor isn't front and [...]
Continue Reading →It's possible (probable?) that this is common knowledge for those of you who have to deal with this every day, but I'm going to post it in hopes it's useful, and so I can document it for myself!
I've been working in the lab, trying to get all of the pieces I'll need to be able [...]
Continue Reading →I apologize that this post is so long in coming. Thanks to everyone who asked if I had more content coming, I’ll try and get everything dumped over the next couple days. I appreciate everyone’s patience!

Day two of EMC World 2011 was definitely my favorite of the week. The trickle of [...]
Continue Reading →One of the things that I’m excited about at EMC World 2011 this year is that it feels like EMC is (finally?) coming around to really embrace the Service Providers as a business model, and more specifically as partners. There were two Monday announcements that highlighted this new trend, both of which will make a [...]
Continue Reading →Day One is in the books, and man was it a crazy one. After getting to sleep around 1am, everyone reported bright and early for the vLabs role-call at 6:30am. The team did kick-ass work getting everything ready to go, and here’s a good pic of Chris Horn getting the troops fired up [...]
Continue Reading →What a day. Since I arrived yesterday afternoon the amount of work that has been done behind-the-scenes is incredible. I wish there was someone making a video/documentary about the work involved in pulling something this big, this massive, off just so that everyone could appreciate the dedication that EMC and their partners put into this [...]
Continue Reading →I’m in the air and on the way to Las Vegas to participate in the largest EMC World conference ever, and can’t wait to get there. EMC has been gracious enough to plug me into their Social Media Machine™ for the week, so the plan is to live-blog the larger events as they happen, and [...]
Continue Reading →Here's a very, very interesting survey that Emerson Network Power commissions every year about data center outages. It doesn't focus on Service Providers so I didn't want to inject it into the previous post about AWS, but some of the answers are stunning (to me). I used to work at one of [...]
Continue Reading →Right up front, I’ll let you know I don’t have any additional information on why AWS failed last week, nor do I have any opinion on Amazon’s communication (or lack thereof) during the outage. I’m not an AWS customer, I’m not a security analyst and I don’t really have a dog in the IaaS fight [...]
Continue Reading →For those of you who get the reference in the title, rock on. For those of you who don't, write me off as a total nerd who reads too much. It's cool.
Yesterday was supposed to be a PTO day, but one of my co-workers pointed out a response that had been made to my [...]
