TechHermit Data Center Blog – Your source for Microsoft Data Center News
July 3, 2008I have gotten quite a few emails and notes on my apparent frequency of Microsoft-specific posts. I am by no means a Microsoft fan-boy, and I think my propensity to post about them has more to do with the fact that they simply put out more information about what they are doing than any other. I can tell you that Microsoft products have given me my fair share of headaches in my tenior as a Data Center Facility Manager. So I may as well make this official and set up a goal for myself to be “THE” source of Microsoft Data Center and Infrastructure News on the web. That is not to say I still wont post interesting thoughts on everything else in the industry, I will just try and ensure that all Microsoft news is captured for my readers. Plus having one of their Data Centers in my backyard will definitely be helpful. If you beleive as I do, the cloud computing space is going to be a major industry in the future it might be helpful to have someone watching this space closely. I also commit to you that I will point out the flaws and follies as well.
So I am looking to start a more comprehensive program around their Data Center program and infrastructure investments. Any Microsoft folks who would like to be my sources are more than welcome to send me mail from time to time. I will also try and reach out and cultivate relationships directly with the major players there too.
