Cameron HaightSorry for the lapse in blogging … no excuse other than to promise to do better from now on out. I thought that I’d start out by telling those that care what I’m focusing on this year. I’m still covering virtualization management … in fact, this is one of the reasons for my blogging "vacation" as the market, in contrast to perhaps much of what we read regarding the overall environment still seems vibrant and is keeping me very busy. There is a large installed base of server virtualization technology among which there is still only relatively limited penetration of management tools – but I expect this to change especially as many end users of virtualization see management tooling (and processes) as a means to both improve control and reduce costs (the latter obviously important these days). I’m continuing to look at how virtualization itself impacts the cost equation – I’ve already written some research to date and more is in progress. Cloud computing is of course the new, new thing but it seems to be something that is perhaps gaining steam as well at least partially due to the potential economics involved. I’m undertaking a review of how this emerging environment will impact both enterprise IT operations (because it will even if you think it won’t) as well as cataloging the new management entrants. Of course the major management players also are positioning themselves to play a role and I’ll be including them in my research too. So, all in all, its been a busy first month or so … and for now anyway, promises to be an interesting year. If there is anything related to these issues that you’d like to see more comments on, please feel free to let me know.
