It's been a couple weeks since I last posted, but between the holidays and 2009 planning I haven't had time to do much else.
But, I am back on the saddle again! No, we haven't finished our 2009 plan yet, but I won't mention that again, for at least a while. The new news is that I am headed out to Vegas again...ugh... Its the Annual Gartner Data Center Conference at the MGM Grand. I am looking forward to this conference a lot. This is a great show to learn about the issues facing CIOs and IT executives RIGHT NOW. Of course, there is a lot of forward looking stuff as well, Cloud and VDI, but with the economy in such a state of flux and 2008 budgets frozen, I am interested to see what the mood is and where the dollars will be flowing in 2009.
PERFMAN will be there, of course. Come check us out in the exhibitor hall and keep a look out for Cameron Haight's sessions. Word on the street is that we get a positive nod from Gartner!
I will be Twittering from the show so feel free to follow along. http://twitter.com/rodstar
