Live (Again) From Interop: Workshop A Success, But No Takers On Craps Lessons

Posted by Howard Marks, Apr 30, 2008 05:03 PM

The worst news from Interop is that my fat old body just can't handle the things I did easily 15 years ago when I made a living teaching 5-day NetWare administration seminars. My Disaster Recovery Cookbook workshop went well, with 80 of my now-closest friends spending the day listening to me pontificate on the relative merits of Cemaphore Systems' MailShadow over Double-Take or WANsync. I, however, was a wreck at the end of the day. Even more disappointing, no one took me up on my offer of free craps lessons. The show seems to be recovering from a few years of dot-com bubble hangover, with bigger crowds of both vendors and attendees than I remember from the last two years.

There are a smattering of storage-related vendors on the floor, which gives me something useful to blog about for the rest of the week. I even had fruitful conversations with several NAC vendors about solving the problems we at the college have since the untimely demise of Lockdown Networks earlier this year.
