I am often asked how where I gather information from, so I thought I would begin to trickle out some of my key sources.? I encourage readers to check out my blogroll but in addition here are two sites that I visit fairly often.

After an exhausting 5 weeks on the road I took the opportunity this weekend to relax, read and recharge. I finished a book my wife gave to me for my birthday entitled “Naked Conversations” by Robert Scoble and Shel Israel. For those of you who don’t know Rober Scoble he is the author of http://scobleizer.wordpress.com/. Robert was one of the early bloggers at Microsoft and his blog continues to be one of the most popular on the web.
The book provided tons of great tips on how to publicize blogs. Because there are some many ways to build blog awareness I thought I would cover a different topic in a multi-part blog series. Last night I setup feedburner, I am hoping that this will drive increased traffic to my site.
Feedburner provides some great tools:
Republish feeds as html pages:
Subscribe to RSS headline updates from: http://feeds.feedburner.com/GotItSolutions”>
Powered by FeedBurner
Add a feed banner to your e-mail signature:
PingShot which notifies popular blog rating services when you publish.
Email Subscriptions:
FeedCount which displays the number of subscribed users:
I am really excited about this, in the last six hours I have added 8 subscribers but only time will tell how effective this actually is. I recommend checkingin it out.

For those of you who are using WordPress, I highly recommend the feedburner plugin.

Now that the Evolution of Disaster Recovery roadshow is over, it?s time to start releasing the podcast. Because each seminar was just over 3 hours, we are releasing it in 4 parts.
Part 1 – The state of data protection. This includes a discussion around, backups, backup to disk, virtual tape libraries, CDP, archiving, and more.
Part 2 – Edge to core data consolidation. Here we talk about using Cisco WAAS products to consolidate our data in a centralized location. This simplifies the management of our infrastructure, and makes preparing for DR much easier.
Part 3 – Leveraging Server Virtualization for Business Restart. Now that we understand how to protect out data, and have it in a centralized location we need to figure out how to make this data usable. Virtualization enables us to do this.
Part 4 – This section is a blending questions from each of the 9 cities we presented in.
A copy of the presentation can be found here if you?d like to follow along.
