Green IT: a marketing ploy or new tech? 19/07/2007 14:21:07
Green IT is something of a chameleon that appeals to different users on different levels. From a 10,000-foot perspective, it's hard to knock the benefits of energy efficiency, recycling and vendors working side by side with users to promote the green agenda. However, many users are finding it difficult to adopt a technology that is not characterized by a wide selection of physical products that they can buy and implement in their IT infrastructures today. - +

The reason you won't install flash storage this year 14/03/2007 15:04:44

The SAN FUD factor 28/08/2006 15:29:37
Storage analyst John Webster recalls telling attendees at a conference three years ago that there are users who make multivendor storage-area networks (SAN) work but that most shy away from heterogeneity because the prospect is too scary. Users in the audience at the time agreed that multivendor SANs can work, but many said they preferred to stay with a single vendor because it is easier.
