Hanging in the Wikibon Tweet Suite at SNW Spring 2009
Posted by Dennis Martin in Wikibon on April 10, 2009
It was another successful and busy week at Storage Networking World (SNW) Spring 2009 in Orlando. Although the number of vendors, by my count, was 48% of what it was in Spring 2008, it was apparent that the vendors who did participate sent fewer people. However, the SNW officials said that the end-user attendance was 92% of what it was in Spring 2008. Obviously travel budgets have been cut, and this was reflected in the end-user attendance, which had shifted to many local IT professionals from the central Florida region.
Hello SourceOne, Good Bye EmailXtender

To use a term from Robin Harris and Chuck Hollis, I’ve been ‘squinting’ through the EMC Source One announcement. Michael Brown’s Chalk Talk on the architecture is worth a look to see what’s new here.
It looks to me like this announcement includes lots of catch up and plenty of vision with the implied promise that SourceOne will deliver. EMC’s done some good work at integrating multiple piece parts, but this still appears to be a shove everything in a central archive approach. And as my colleagues and I have been saying on Wikibon, this won’t solve the problem of managing information risk, which is the main driver of email archiving. Let’s face it, legal is steering this bus right now, not IT and while maybe you can take a centralized approach to solve email archiving problems, files and content distributed throughout the organization present more pressing challenges.
