Yes, your friendly neighborhood global technology evangelist is hitting the road and going on tour! I'll be speaking at a number of events hosted by our friends at Datacenter Dynamics as well as several Green IT conferences in the US and Europe. This is very exciting as there is nothing better than meeting with architects, technologists, developers, IT administrators, and business leaders and discussing with them their unique business needs and challenges.
I was in Tokyo last week at the Datacenter Dynamics "Command and Control Summit" where I had the opportunity to speak to the attending delegates about global-scale utility computing, and how to get there by leveraging a dynamic application services management platform. I found it most interesting, given the very conservative approach that most Japanese businesses have to adopting new technologies, that the delegates were very interested in the Green IT benefits and consistent QoS that can be realized by evolving from a static to a dynamic resource allocation model.
The sushi was also quite good :)
If you think you might be in London next week, you won't want to miss my presentation "Going Green: The Shift to Dynamic Application Service Management" - no spoilers here, but I am confident that you'll be green with envy (chuckle - I couldn't resist that one...) if you miss it. And if you do make it, please make sure that you introduce yourself and let me know what your company is doing in order to Go Green.
Keep your bot (or your eyes if you are a tad old fashioned) on this spot and I'll be updating with additional conferences and dates. And if we should meet at a conference I'll be sure to give you a shout out right here :)
