  • editor's comments:- in January 2009 - StorageIO's founder published a book called - "The Green and Virtual Data Center".

    In February 2010 - after 5 years being in business - StorageIO published the inaugural issue of their Server and StorageIO news letter.

    Editor's comments:- An experienced marcoms person, Carey Hedges founder of (UK based) H-N Marketing said to me in 1996 when I first launched an ezine called MarketingViews, that most company newsletters rarely get past the 3rd issue due to lack of commitment and resources by the original sponsors. I've observed the core truth in that rule of thumb many times now.

    StorageIO's newsletter should get past that milestone easily - because their founder - Greg Schulz - is a prolific blogger, author of real printed books, and oft quoted storage market savant / soothsayer.

    In Greg's introductory apologia - for not having done this newsletter thingie sooner (I'm surprised he found the time anyway) - he says - "In an age of social media including facebook, twitter, blogs and video, some might ask the question of why a news letter?" ...read the article to see how he answers that rhetorical question.

    And if you're interested in precisely that type of question - take a look at the article - Getting the Message - by InfoCommerce Group - which wryly analyzes this dilemma in the following vein:- "Email, Blogging, Linked-In etc. It seems that once a popular messaging channel becomes too clogged with extraneous messages, a new message channel emerges."
