Vendors: Speak your mind
Why not talk about your technology vision? Not just speeds and feeds and how much better your product is than your competitor's, but how you see the world (mis)using storage today and how you intend to make it right in the future?
Precious little attention is being paid to vision these days, and with the bears beating the bulls in the market, we need a fresh vision today more than ever before. So, we know you have an idea of how the world of storage ought to be. Why not share it with us?
Users: Air your needs
What is working for you? What isn't living up to vendor claims? How do you want storage to be? We want to hear from you and to air your views so your vendors can hear them loudly and clearly. You can submit your comments in writing and we will read them into a forthcoming viewer mail segment. Or you can post comments in responses to the clips we air here. Or, we might be able to get you on camera, if we can coordinate our schedules. Contact StorageTV.org today.
Ken Barth Interview
Ken Barth.
Interview with Ken Barth Part 1
Interview with Ken Barth Part 2
Interview with Ken Barth Part 3
One of our favorite folks in the business, Ken Barth, who is CEO at Tek-Tools, gave STORAGE TV some of his valuable time at his Dallas, TX offices in June 2006 -- and on several occasions later.
In these three clips, Barth talks about the origins and direction of his storage management software development efforts, the state of "universal management" approaches like SMI-S at the Storage Networking Industry Association, and describes his methodology for offshoring some development efforts to his new office in India.
Barth is a Southern Gentleman of the first order, and you have to listen hard to hear him criticize anything. Nevertheless, he delivers a satisfying and provocative interview. |
