Today Larry Freeman and I launched Clouds, Flash and Big Data, a new blog hosted by ComputerWorld that focuses on the technologies that are transforming the data storage industry. I’m very excited as this endeavor will allow Larry and I to share our thoughts on a wide range of topics from our diverse perspectives. At times our thoughts will closely align and if we do this right there will be times where they stand in opposition.
You can check out my first post, “Are you ready for software-defined storage?” It’s timely as Vmworld is right around the corner. Larry is starting his first series this week and it should carrying through VMworld, so make sure to check out and subscribe to Clouds, Flash and Big Data!
