Humanizing Storage
Online Data Storage Data Mining Knowledge Management: Adding identity intelligence to information lifecycle management. It's Bill Vass back with another letter. I turn my attention to information lifecycle management (ILM). In a word: storage. Back in my days as technical director at the Department of Defense — and while I held development and operations jobs here at Sun and other companies — storage received prominent attention. For large-scale application developers, optimizing storage for access and update speeds is always important, as is configuring the storage environment for availability.

Adding identity intelligence to information lifecycle management.

It's Bill Vass back with another letter. It is with a mix of sadness and excitement that I must inform you that this will be my last letter in this forum. I have recently accepted an exciting new opportunity to become the COO of Sun Microsystems Federal.

Since this is my farewell letter, I want to thank all Sun Inner Circle readers for your loyal support. Your generous sharing of insights, experiences, and concerns has helped to make my sponsorship of Sun Inner Circle especially gratifying and informative. Thank you.

Luckily, I'm leaving my CIO responsibilities in the capable hands of Bob Worrall, who steps up from his position as VP of Information Technology. Bob is a great guy, a strategic thinker, and a practiced veteran. In addition to the many accolades he has garnered during his long career, he was a recent recipient of CIO Magazine's "Ones to Watch" Award.

Without further adieu, so to speak, I turn my attention to information lifecycle management (ILM). In a word: storage. Back in my days as technical director at the Department of Defense — and while I held development and operations jobs here at Sun and other companies — storage received prominent attention. For large-scale application developers, optimizing storage for access and update speeds is always important, as is configuring the storage environment for availability.
