Do You Know Where Your Money Is?

Time for another analogy.  

Apologies in advance to those who don't like analogies, or -- more to the point -- don't like the ones I come up with :-)

As part of various panels and speaking events, we get into the whole topic of cloud, information mobility, federation, etc. -- and people's heads start to hurt a bit.

They know they're responsible for the integrity of the information: privacy, security, recoverability, etc.  And we as industry types sometimes get way ahead of our skis in describing a world where that valuable information stuff is moving here and there and everywhere -- oh my!

So I've come up with a simple way to frame the debate: do you know where your money is?

EMC's SourceOne group just announced their new File Intelligence product.  And, as organizations struggle to get their arms around unfettered information growth, we may just have a new and important tool in the arsenal.

You be the judge ...
