		<description><![CDATA[Ok, I can say it in a sentence. A contractor is someone you hire to do a job, a consultant is someone you hire to fix a problem. I&#8217;ve done both, but in the last 8 years I&#8217;ve been primarily a &#8220;Consultant.&#8221;  My job is to fix whatever perceived problem. Some companies might have a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Anil Gupta had an interesting post on his blog that I found interesting: Anil&#8217;s Blog Post Included in his post was a peice of marketing fluff from Craig Nunes, VP Marketing at 3Par, about how great their arrays are. Of course they are&#8230;especially if you are VP of their marketing department.  It&#8217;s there job to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the things that happens when you run a storage/technology blog, is that you will regularly get emails from PR firms with press-releases hoping that you&#8217;ll write a post touting their product or at least link back to their site to improve their ratings in the serach engines. My problem is, that while I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

As one part of my duties, I manage the companies one and only fileserver.Â  We run on a fairly simple rule, if it&#8217;s a file share it goes on the Celerra.Â  There are *NO* windows fileservers in our environment.

		<description><![CDATA[http://www.mcdata.com/about/news/releases/2006/0808c.html Given the choice between brocade and McData I&#8217;ll usually choose McData.Â  Now that I don&#8217;t have a choice, I think I&#8217;ll stick with Cisco. Truthfully Brocade needed McData.Â  McData has a solid director class switch, one that will withstand the tests of time and the rigors of a large-scale production datacenter.Â  Brocade never really [...]]]></description>
