Here (.qt) and here (.wmv) is a video from an interview that I did with Jenny Hamel (@jennyhamelsd6) during the Fall 2011 SNW event in Orlando Florida.
Topics covered during the discussion include:
- Importance of metrics that matter for gaining and maintaining IT situational awareness
- The continued journey of IT to improve customer service delivery in a cost-effective manner
- Reducing cost and complexity without negatively impacting customer service experience
- Participating in SNW and SNIA for over ten years on three different continents
- Industry trends, buzzword bingo (SSD, cloud, big data, virtualization), adoption vs. deployment
- Increasing efficiency along with effectiveness and productivity
- Stretching budgets to do more without degrading performance or availability
- How customers can navigate their way around various options, products and services
- Importance of networking at events such as SNW along with information exchange and learning
- Why data footprint reduction is similar to packing smartly when going on a journey
- Cloud and Virtual Data Storage Networking (now available on Kindle and other epub formats)
