Here you will read off-the-cuff, of-the-moment ramblings from Sageza analysts about important issues and trends.

We hope that our efforts will stimulate your thinking, make you smile/laugh, or at least annoy you enough that you will keep commenting and coming back for more.
Some Thoughts on the Cloud Connect Conference
I ventured out to the Cloud Connect conference and expo at the
Santa Clara Convention Center this morning. Unlike most trips to

usually of the rail nature, today I was firmly...

EMC, the Acadian Accomplices, and the Private Cloud
Once again I find myself the lucky recipient of the honorable identifier, AA 197 seat 22D, and as such have a few hours to kill in a rather austere low humidity environment. Thank goodness for my latest iDevice with its requisite collection of...

Musings on 1st day of IDF - Whither Itanium?
OK, so I managed another early start on my day and caught Caltrain #217 to San Francisco. Destination: Moscone West, my day home away from home, and Intel's Developer Forum (IDF).

When New becomes old and old is Renewed Again?

JavaONE: Bright Future or Riding off into the Sunset?

No Sun in the Big Blue sky
OK, so IBM is backing away from Sun after the latest round of negotiations. While there has been much speculation about the sale price and just how much CYA IBM would be willing to afford the Copernican Company, as of now, the deal has fallen...

The Virtual Appliance?
In the world of IT the demarcation between servers, storage, networking, software, and a bevy of other devices is becoming less clear every day. In particular, this got me thinking about one piece of IT equipment that I am not even sure is still...

Is Bot Defense the IDS of 2008?
