Clarity with Cloud Providers

How are your customers planning for their migration to the Cloud? Can they compare Cloud pricing and solutions using their REAL infrastructure data? Can your customers compare against actual performance issues? Can they identify the appropriate workloads to move? Can your clients test their workloads in the Cloud? Do they have an infrastructure performance profile for their workloads? Can your customers visualize application and server dependencies of workloads?

Most businesses do not or cannot get these things today. Visibility is the key to accurate planning with your customers.

Quest’s CloudScape Assessment can set you apart from the crowd, by answering all of the questions above.

Outcome as a Service

How much did you pay for the drywall in your house? How about the bricks? The doors? What about the windows, how much did those set you back?

Some people might have answers to these questions. I do not.

At the end of the day, I want to buy a house that is in a desirable neighborhood and within my budget. And I see IT and our customers in the same light.

Ecosystem or Feudal System?

Game of Thrones recently kicked off its fourth season. And as a devoted fan, I cannot help but see the similarities between the battle for control of Westeros, the Iron Throne and the capital city, King’s Landing and the current gamesmanship developing in the IT Channel for control of the end-user experience, the IT infrastructure backbone, and the datacenter.

Much like the Channel, Westeros the fantasy realm of the HBO hit show, Game of Thrones, is made up of different families and kingdoms. For those who remember their Western Civilization courses, it is basically a feudal system under the mercurial rule of a corruptible monarchy, bordered on the north by snow zombies and hordes of non-allied “wildlings” and to the south east by dragons and a very angry ex-pat, who is raising an army to kill everyone back home.

On Security

I was visiting with a friend recently when the topic of Target’s security breach came up. We both had been part of the massive data breach and lost some of our banking information. We both had replaced our credit cards and that is where the similarities ended.

Although alarming as this latest breach was, it did not really impact my consciousness or my day-to-day consumer habits.  We live in a world where data is our identity and I have taken certain steps to secure myself and those I care about.

Ear Holed

Football games are as much a part of Thanksgiving as turkey, mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie. In football, there’s a term called getting “ear holed”. For those who have never played the greatest sport in America, the best definition I can provide is as follows:

Ear Holed: A player being tackled/blocked from the side, leaving ones feet and potentially losing consciousness momentarily, without warning or seeing the hit coming.

If you’re more visually inclined, check out this video clip . I think we can all agree no one wants to be #10 from Wisconsin in that moment.
