Whenever any virtualization blogger makes a post with a title like this it’s usually obvious what the post is about.  So you can probably figure out where I’m going with this.

I’ve decided that it’s time to take on a new challenge in my career. To that end I’ve accepted an Advisory Consultant position with EMC and will be starting in early August. I’ll be able to work with the technology that I love with a focus on two key areas: Tier-1 application virtualization and VDI.  EMC is a great company with huge exposure to virtualization, and the fact that many people in the virtualization industry that I respect already work there made this an opportunity I couldn’t pass up.

For the past ten years I’ve worked at a consulting company in New York City called Kraft & Kennedy.  I was exposed to virtualization very early on (way back in 2002 with ESX 1.5) and was hooked ever since.  I was able to learn the technology and eventually focus my career in that direction.  They allowed me to attend VMworld, blog, tweet, and enabled me to become successful and for that I’ll always be grateful.  It’s a great company with lots of very smart people and I’ve enjoyed my career there.

I’m hoping that having a stronger focus on virtualization will allow me to blog more frequently so you should see more content here soon.  It helps that now I’ll only be writing for one blog – I was previously splitting my blogging duties between here and Kraft Kennedy’s Technology Blog.

I’m really excited about the move to EMC and am very much looking forward to getting started!
