Utility Computing…
Cloud Computing…
These are the buzzwords of the new age. It seems almost incredible that only a few short decades ago the world witnessed the birth of the personal computer, and now industry experts and pundits alike argue over its imminent demise in terms of how we have used it in the past. As the promise of cheap, reliable bandwidth gave rise to the explosive growth and popularity of the Internet, the reality of virtualization gives rise to cheap, reliable hosting, storage and application services with the promise of perhaps unlimited computing power, powering terms such as “Utility Computing” and “Cloud Computing”.
Luckily for us, we have an industry expert on Virtualization to lead us by the hand and help us navigate what, for most of us are uncharted waters. I have known Dave Sobel for many years now, and he has become not only a member of my close inner circle, but also my personal Virtualization Advisor. Have you ever heard the expression “you know what you know”? Well, Dave’s experience in designing, delivering and supporting numerous Virtualization scenarios, and in working with the top Virtualization vendors and their solutions means that Dave knows. Not only does Dave know what he knows, but he knows more than anyone else I know about the topic of Virtualization – so much so that these very same vendors also look to Dave for his feedback and assistance with their products and solutions.
The words above are an excerpt from my foreword for Dave's book Virtualization: Defined - A Primer for the SMB Consultant. Dave Sobel is CEO of Evolve Technologies, an IT consulting firm in Washington, DC.
I'd like to invite you to Dave's Microsoft 5w25 Webinar on Virtualization on Wednesday, November 18th at 9am PDT, where the focus will be on how to build your Virtualization Consulting Practice, learn about server consolidation assessments, Virtual Desktop Infrastructures, and how to deliver high value solutions to your clients.
