I’m preparing to change the focus of this blog. There is a lot that can be said about enterprise storage, but for the most part, the topic is being well covered by other people. I’ve come to the realization that while storage system design is a fascinating topic, storage is a means to an end and not the end in itself. Please don’t misunderstand me. I remain passionate about the DS8000 and its capabilities. I know it better than any other device I have worked with in my 14 years as an IT professional. It’s an amazing machine. The DS8000 is only now beginning to realize the capabilities inherent in its design. The best is yet to come. IBM may not be able to out market it’s competitors, but we out engineer them at every turn.
I am not entirely certain what my new focus will be. It will certainly be broader than just storage. I am going to take a couple of weeks off to decide what direction to take.
I am also leaving IBM.
I will be back in a couple of weeks with a new focus, a new employer, and new topics to discuss. I hope to see all of you then.
