Deccan Herald: India needs Virtualization

As enterprises grow and businesses expand, managing mounting data is something today’s organisations have to tackle deftly. This has become important for both business and legal reasons and has certainly made storage solutions a key IT component in the last few years.

India is particularly at the thick of things as it contributes to the ever-growing storage solutions segment and is said to be the largest generator of data. And so, the country is becoming the focus of activities as far as storage solutions are concerned.

From a mere storehouse of data, which used to exist in an oblivious corner in devices out of touch with other rapidly growing mainstream segments like servers, storage solutions are today one of the important facets of IT infrastructure. As Adrian De Luca, Director, Storage Solutions, Asia Pacific, Hitachi Data Systems, explained, storage solutions have well past the ‘consolidation’ stage, as technology matured over the years, that has driven up utilisation.

Redhot Future Of IT Part I :Marketing yourself as IT professional

I had promised about the "RedHot IT Future Series" and so we discuss here how you should market yourself EFFECTIVELY as an IT professional in this new (and dangerous) web age! Web is the place where you're a hero today and villain tomorrow. While there are lots of professionals who are active on the web, not all are enjoying a good reputation as they got "personal" with others and got into a cockfight. The passive IT professional has nothing to lose but nothing to gain at all!

I know "marketing" might seem as a greasy term but the idea is to have the truth about you out there. You know you're a good person and your family knows that you're really smart person but the rest of the world doesn't!

So the question is how do I market myself on the web as a true "nouveau IT professional". A guy who companies will be tempted to pick up the phone as say "Hey, we wanna talk with you. Can you fly over to Palo Alto (or Guatemala or Johan…

Redhot Future Of IT Part 2 :Virtualized Workplaces

Click on the title to hear what I have to say, alternatively click here to listen to what I have to say here.

So what is a virtualized workplace? Does it mean it does not exist? That it's virtual? Well in a certain way YES. This is where the future of our workplace is going to be. Well it is already a reality in some countries.

OK lets start by asking ourselves these questions:
Do you really bond with your colleagues? (think Team cohesiveness)
Do you spend great amount of hours talking about great things that you will do together? (think collaboration)
Do you really feel that you give 100% at work? (think effectiveness)
What do you really miss at your desk? (think personalization)
Is your desk comfortable enough? (Again think optimizing personalization, OK you have done your best to make it your place)Does it really matter to your employer that you are there for him/her? (think commitment)
Or do you get micromanaged over petty issues? (think mismanagement)
Do you see your employees perfor…
