  • New CIO Acronyms: DNS, DHCP, IPAM [View article]
    It always the same with Greg, an annoying sales pitch for his company and technology partners. Its really just a poor attempt at marketing from a wanna be technologist. It is getting very old...

    Notice he never mentions his competitors, companies like HP that dominate the data center today with open standards based blade server, storage, software, and switching technology.

    Greg Ness has never offered anything more than a sales pitch for the company he works at and their technology partners whom he hopes will all make him rich...dont believe the hype!
