In the past I have written about a myriad of topics and have participated on the speaking circuit discussing “The Cloud has Walls,” “The New Role of the CIO,” and total cost of ownership (TCO).
Since May is still considered winter in Chicago, I thought it prudent to write about some of the common problems associated with installing critical equipment outdoors.
Recently I was participating on a panel at the Data Center Summit in San Francisco. The panel consisted of Michael Rechtin, moderator from Baker McKenzie, with additional panelist Jason O’Connell from Infinity SDC, as well as panelists from Equinix and Structure Research.
Over the last year I have been writing about the new role of the CIO. Columns have included such topics as program roll outs, TCO and cloud, metadata, the role of the CIO driving profits, and technology innovation.
