Stephen Foskett (aka the Pack Rat) wrote a nice follow-up to this piece at http://blog.fosketts.net/2007/07/24/sailing-the-titanic-why-we-need-ilm-and-then-some/

The rest of his material is pretty interesting as well, so go have a read at blog.fostketts.net

I appreciate the shout, Chuck!

I wanted to call attention to a couple of points in your post:
1) e-Discovery is exploding all around us. At a recent conference, more than two dozen hands went up when my colleague at Contoural, Greg Forest, asked whether they (IT folks) had been personally involved in discovery for litigation. If you can't deliver the goods on demand today, you'll be in court tomorrow!
2) Email archiving is so easy to get started with, it makes me wonder why everyone isn't already doing it. Just get an appropriate archiving product and turn it on! Save everything until the business folks say it's OK to delete anything.
3) What you don't know about your filesystems can hurt you. Start getting a handle on content before their uncontrolled growth knocks you out!

Looking forward to more of this,
Stephen Foskett

Couldn't agree more! Strange how our blog themes are almost identical ...

    Chuck now works for Oracle, and is now deeply embroiled in IT infrastructure.

    Previously, he was with VMware for 2 years, and EMC for 18 years before that, most of them great.

    He enjoys speaking to customer and industry audiences about a variety of technology topics, and -- of course -- enjoys blogging.

    Chuck lives in Vero Beach, FL with his wife and four dogs when he's not traveling. In his spare time, Chuck is working on his second career as an aging rock musician.

    Warning: do not ever buy him a drink when there is a piano nearby.

    I try and write something new 1-2 times per week; less if I'm travelling, more if I'm in the office. Hopefully you'll find the frequency about right!
