by Liem Nguyen, (former) Director of Communications and Social Media, Dell Storage — February 02, 2011
It’s that time again for our monthly #SANchat! We trust everyone had a happy and safe New Year and have set some realistic IT resolutions for 2011. Please join us today, Feb. 2, from 3-4:30 pm CT to chat with our guest moderator Howard Marks. Howard, @DeepStorageNet, has written about the storage industry since 1987, has tested dozens of storage and networking products over the years and knows a thing or two about technology trends that get hot only to become nothing more than hot air. Howard also blogs for InformationWeek and Network Computing and runs the IT site DeepStorage.net.
In December, you may have followed along with Stephen Foskett’s “11 Trends for 2011” chat and this month we want to discuss these trends further. Howard will offer his opinions on where IT departments will see the greatest opportunities to reduce costs and increase efficiencies as the year rolls along. We are looking forward to hearing your thoughts and what you plan to do in the coming year! What tech products are you going to be most excited about this year? As budgets rebound, what issues do you think you’ll need to work through to implement your next IT project? What storage pains will you be facing this year and what will you do about it?
To join in #SANchat, we recommend using the TweetChat platform; you can also get additional information on the SANchat series by visiting wthashtag.com/sanchat or our previous blog post on the topic. We look forward to having you join the conversation about the 2011 Trends!
