Welcome to the New Age Technologies team blog site.
I talked to Beth Pariseau at SearchServerVirtualization.com about the transitional time that backups are in now for companies. Eventually, the tipping point in organizations allows for a virtualization-based backup solution. Here is the link to the article:

This is a podcast I did with Colin Steele from Techtarget's searchservervirtualization site discussing XenServer growth. From our practical experience in the field, there are two schools of thought at the decision-maker's level that are quite common. Many companies see XenServer as part of the XenApp/XenDesktop stack while others want to keep only one hypervisor, and it's vSphere.

New Age is now sponsoring the MUSE International Newsletter. If you support MEDITECH, this is a great source of information.
The General Sessions have been pretty informative so far. Its been a bit funny how VMware have mentioned in the middle of other presentations about them buying companies as almost an afterthought. Integrien and TriCipher both are good purchases and TriCipher is a really important one to get the SSO addressed to enable cloud adoption.
The most striking thing to me though is how much VMware have shifted a bit on their approach to desktop virtualization. They sound very much like Citrix now as far as placing the end user experience as the primary success factor to desktop virtualization.
