I have really neglected my blogging and would like to start putting some more posts up. We will see if my work\/life balance will allow for that. As for the current post, I just wanted to provide a quick update.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Since my last post, nearly 5 years ago, much has changed both for me personally, as well as for the industry. ScaleIO is no longer a “thing” It’s now an appliance and a converged widget from DellEMC called VxRack Flex. In my final year or so at DellEMC I did not see much traction for Flex as a product, so I cant really speak for the future of the product formerly known as ScaleIO, but the proof of commitment lies in the speed of development which has always been at a snails pace. I was a huge fan of ScaleIO once it made it to the 2.x line, but it was lacking some very basic functionality and was a nightmare from an operational perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given my personal passion for HCI that started 5+ years ago, about 18 months ago I decided to make a move to Nutanix. Given that, I will begin (hopefully) to put out some content focused around anything I find interesting in our product base. I will also likely start using this blog as a place to document\/archive the details of any technical challenges I run into or to discuss anything else that sparks my desire to express myself via this medium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope to see more of you (I realize I’m just shouting into the void at the moment).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
