NI3: The Net Result of Imagination, Innovation, and Investment

I spent some time this morning searching for storage related RSS feeds from vendors. Did I find any? No, but I did create some that you use, too. I used myRSS to create RSS feeds for Sun and HP. Unfortunately, neither of these feeds are storage specific as these vendors don't break out storage press releases from others, but they do contain all of the storage press releases. I tried creating similar feeds for IBM and EMC, but their sites didn't lend themselves very well to the parsing algorithms myRSS is using to detect news items.

  • Sun News - Press Releases

Last week I attended an analysts' meeting with HP where the company laid out its plans for the coming year. Some of the information was discussed under non-disclosure agreements and so can't be shared at this time, but much of what we talked about was intended for public dissemination. Here are some of the key points for those of us with an interest in storage. [Network World on Storage]

One terabyte in a 6.3" x 3.4" x 10.6" space. That's right, 1TB on a desktop! "How much?" you ask. Most likely less than you bought your desktop for: $1,199. These guys at Lacie have got storage right. I'd love to see something like this just plug into my home network, with DHCP set as factory default, and be able to setup volumes via a web browser.

For those of you who read my blog for storage information, what would you like to see me cover? I've got a few topics I'd like to write about:
  • Data mobility. I'm half way through my first piece on this topic as I've outline in a previous post.
  • Data lifecycle management. A lot of marketing dollars are being spent on this right now. Is it a bunch of hype or is there something to it?
  • SRM: Myth or reality? This debate has been raging for years. Let's get to the bottom of it with some real life input from people who have done it.
  • Leveraging your storage investment. Most managers and executives see how much they are paying for storage but do little to squeeze any real value out of it. Impress your boss' boss with a few easy forumlas.
  • Storage strategies. I'll tell you for free what EMC and Accenture will charge your company $500K plus for.
What would you like to see? Drop me a comment.
