Was it luck or preparedness?

Alberto Jimenez, CBCP, PMP on Wednesday, November 21, 2012

Over the last few weeks, I've kept in touch with friends, colleagues and clients in New York and New Jersey to find out how they are coping with the Hurricane Sandy aftermath. Thankfully, while not without material losses, most of them and their loved ones are well. Many clients had to stop doing business for a few days [...]

Big Data tidal wave?

on Tuesday, November 20, 2012

Many articles and books have been written comparing Big Data to a tidal wave, a metaphor for the onslaught of data as a voluminous, impactful giant wall of water. Having spent time at the Hadoop World/O’Reilly Big Data conference in NYC recently, I liken it more to a tsunami — a wave of not only great volume, but also of great [...]

Interesting times as cloud gets a little clearer

Kent Christensen, Practice Director on Thursday, November 15, 2012

You have heard us talk about the energy around the virtual data center and how orchestration is an important component in the drive toward IT as a service (ITaaS) or cloud. In fact, we built our “proving what’s doable in the cloud” campaign and Datalink on Demand Labs Cloud using those solution stacks [...]

Making IT Experts

Juan Orlandini, Chief Technology Officer, North America & Distinguished Engineer on Friday, November 09, 2012

A few years ago, Malcom Gladwell wrote Outliers. One of the major premises of this book is that to become an expert at any field requires 10,000 hours of practice.

Your disaster recovery wake-up call

Alberto Jimenez, CBCP, PMP on Thursday, November 08, 2012

Hurricane Sandy is the latest reminder of the power of nature and the fragility of our infrastructure. Unfortunately, sometimes it takes a natural disaster like a hurricane, earthquake, or tornado to remind us about organizational business continuity management (BCM) capabilities and the importance of a comprehensive disaster recovery strategy.

And so it begins…

Kent Christensen, Practice Director on Monday, August 27, 2012

Flying into San Francisco for the start of VMworld, I came across a quote from Lord of the Rings. It’s the scene right before the epic battle for Middle Earth when the armies are converging, the rain starts pouring down, and Theoden looks into the distant and says “so it begins.”

Cherry picking

Juan Orlandini, Chief Technology Officer, North America & Distinguished Engineer on Tuesday, June 19, 2012

You might recall that we’ve been hard at work on a managed backup service for our customers. To build that service, we took some hard-earned lessons (I call them scar tissue) and distilled them down to repeatable solutions.

Why so quiet?

Juan Orlandini, Chief Technology Officer, North America & Distinguished Engineer on Tuesday, June 05, 2012

You might have noticed that things have been somewhat quiet around here. I certainly haven't posted for some time. We’ve been quietly working on something really great, and we needed to focus on that. It’s now time for us to publicly announce what we've been up to.

What is slow?

Phil O'Konski, Practice Director of Managed Services on Monday, June 04, 2012

Last week, I was visiting with a customer, and they were sharing a common problem. An end user calls and says, "our application is slow." Their challenge is familiar to many customers I've met.
