There is never a dull moment!  Cost-cutting was the big trend in IT this year, and as I result I’ve pushed hard to solidify our stance on VMWare and how it will be used within the company.  While VMWare was high on my least of to-dos before the end of the year, my major projects right now include

• A comparison of vSphere VCB with Veeam Backup and NetVault BakBone software
• A continuation of preparations for leaving Novell NetWare as our file system of choice; it has been put on hold until Dec. 1
• Investigating SproutCore technology to replace .NET development for in-house projects
• Investigating iPhone development for database-driven applications
• Preparing for the Cisco CCNA exam

A busy schedule for sure.  More to come as I attempt to actually complete these projects in a reasonable amount of time!
