The Cloud Computing Paradigm Shift Is Bigger Than IT
	"Information technology is changing so fast that innovations and the addition of more vendors with improved products and services occurs continuously," said Joe Brown, president of Accelera Solutions. "It's just naive to think that a single group of providers can cover the whole range of cloud and related applications."

Google Hires Headliner to Direct Government Relations
	"What we're seeing here is a kind of natural maturation of the process of companies that are growing quickly and need to follow that up with better Washington representation. Google has a lot of issues including privacy, antitrust and copyright content," said Bill Allison, editorial director for the Sunlight Foundation.

Marketing to the Ubiquitous Cellphone
	Marketers who aren't keenly focused on spreading their message through mobile technologies may soon see the boat sail away without them. M-commerce has been slow to gain traction, but that's likely to change very soon. Opt-in plans that give loyal customers special attention can have handsome payoffs.

DBMS Vendors Likely to Get Scrappy in 2010
	It's a good time to be in the market for a database management system. This mature space is going to see increased competition in the year ahead, with the big four vendors vying for each other's customers. Still, any DBMS vendor that hopes to dislodge or supplant a rival in an existing account will have to work hard to do so.

FTC Delivers Stern Warning About P2P Data on the Loose
	Organizations need to clean up their P2P act, the FTC has warned, or it may be obliged to enforce applicable data security laws.

Bringing Storage Virtualization Out of the Shadows

When the word "virtualization" comes up, it's usually in the context of server virtualization. But it's not the only variety of that technology worth a look. Storage virtualization has some strong benefits of its own. Lots of businesses use as little as one-fifth of their storage capacity. Storage virtualization has the potential to bring about big increases in existing storage asset utilization.

You've heard a lot about server virtualization over the past few years, and many enterprises have adopted virtual servers to improve their ability to manage runtime workloads and high utilization rates to cut total cost.

But as a sibling to server virtualization, storage virtualization has some strong benefits of its own, not the least of which is the ability to better support server virtualization and make it more successful.

We'll look at how storage virtualization works, where it fits in, and why it makes a lot of sense. The cost savings metrics alone caught me by surprise, making me question why we haven't been talking about storage and server virtualization efforts in the same breath over these past several years.

Here to help understand how to better take advantage of storage virtualization, we're joined by Mike Koponen, HP's (NYSE: HPQ) StorageWorks Worldwide Solutions marketing manager. The discussion is moderated by BriefingsDirect's Dana Gardner, principal analyst at Interarbor Solutions.
