Storage Trends

May 15, 2008

The best things are found by surprise.  I’ve been wanting a history of storage capacities and costs and today I found a link to “Cost of Hard Drive Space“.  Never mind that it is in a fairly raw format and only goes to 2004.  It clearly shows where we have been and implies where we [...]

From Good to Great to Built to Last

May 13, 2008

Finally we are at the last chapter of “Good to Great” with the title “From Good To Great To Built To Last”. This is chapter 9 of a fairly short book if you take out all the extra material at the end. Jim Collins set out to answer the question what makes good [...]

Citrix Universe

May 13, 2008

I was curious to see what the state of Citrite.org was recently.  It is now completely gone and has been replaced by another Sam Johnston production entitled “Citrix Universe“.
It is still under construction but it does show what Sam wants to do with it.
I think he originally intended to make Citrite.org a one-stop shop for [...]

The Flywheel and the Doom Loop

May 12, 2008

We are getting closer to the end of “Good to Great”.  This is about chapter 8 which is titled “The Flywheel and the Doom Loop”.  Sounds a bit like something from Indiana Jones.  Seriously, it hits upon the nature of success.  Most people, from the media’s coaching, believe that things happen overnight.    Most people and [...]

I was looking around YouTube for Citrix related video and found an interesting TV show segment from BestPlacesToWork from KPIX in the Silicon Valley.  This video which is five minutes long, promotes Citrix as being an excellent place to work for within Silicon Valley.  Top executives are interviewed along with some [...]

Technology Accelerators

May 7, 2008

We are now up to chapter 7 of “Good to Great” with the chapter title of “Technology Accelerators”. Most good companies understand that they need technology to progress. Great companies realize that not all technology is useful and that technology is more of an aid than a primary mover. Adoption of technology [...]

A Culture of Discipline

May 6, 2008

This is about chapter 6 of “Good to Great” and it is called “A Culture of Discipline”.
In every new company is a seed of creativity and a sense of entrepreneurial spirit.  Bold moves are made and if success comes, the company grows.  This growth triggers problems however.  It is much more difficult to control a [...]

Positioning Marketing

May 3, 2008

Marketing is a fascinating field.  Ever since my close up exposure to early Citrix marketing, I’ve always wondered how these things really work.  There was always a taste of what it was, but never any really deep understanding.
Recently I searched for marketing related topics and found one that really interested me.  It is called positioning [...]
