Technology Value vs. Doom and Gloom

Granted times are tough. But it’s gotten to the point where economic fear-mongering is beyond a popular political tool and has become a competitive weapon. It would be laughable when math-challenged vendors spread rumors of layoffs that exceed the competitor’s headcount. But layoffs, furloughs and slowdowns are not a laughing matter.

Luckily some companies remain focused on delivering valuable technology, esp. where it’s solving important problems, like how the new KMIP encryption standard will make organizational data more secure. Or they're innovating to reduce data center complexity, lower costs or save the environment. Some of us will remain focused on delivering new benefits and savings through technology -- hopefully customers are finding this helpful and maybe even hopeful.
