Over the past year and a half, I have been focused on explaining WHAT IBM System Storage was, and WHY IBM should be considered when making a storage purchase decision. Let's recapsome of IBM's accomplishments during this time:

• IBM celebrates its 50th Anniversary in Disk Systems innovation
• IBM System Storage wins the Inaugural Brand 2007 award from Liquid Agency
• IBM passes all major vendors in overall storage hardware
• IBM has the fastest disk systems, including the SAN Volume Controller and DS8000 series, based on industry standard benchmarks from the Storage Performance Council
• IBM is the first storage vendor to introduce tape encryption built into the drive

Today, October 1, I switch over to HOW to get it done. In my new job role, I will be leading a seriesof projects and workshops on how to make your data center more green, how to get more value from the information you have, how to better protect your information from unauthorized access or unethical tampering, how to develop and deploya site-wide business continuity plan, and how to centralize your management using open industry standards.

I will still be in Tucson, but am moving from building 9032 over to 9070 to be closer to the rest of my team.

If you are interested in participating in such a workshop, contact theTucson Executive Briefing Center.
