Solid State Drives belong in the data center

March 5, 2011

The speed at which solid state drives can perform should make them a heavy part of your data center drive strategy. But somehow that still has not happened. We still see most companies sticking with fiber channel drives using traditional hard drive platters. This is in spite of the performance gains.

Can IT speed products to market by implementing Social Networking

February 27, 2011

Product development cycle times have been shrinking for decades. But the truth is that we have optimized the Supply chain from the manufacturer back to the suppliers for the last 100 years (or more). The new frontier for reduced product cycle times involves customer input and the ability to take feedback and execute quickly. This is not necessarily a new topic. Many companies have been doing focus groups and pilot launches for several decades. In the past, these efforts have been limited geographically or in participation (2% response was considered fantastic). And companies have been tracking competitive information for generations. The use of Social media may be the driver for faster product development.
