In a year of blogging for Seagate on the Storage Effect blog, I’ve learned three things about IT storage in the blogosphere:

1. There’s no shortage of storage system vendor bloggers
2. They have strong opinions and convincing arguments
3. They don’t always agree (putting it mildly)

Don’t get me wrong, this is Goodness – just the kind of idea-rich environment that makes this blog stuff worthwhile.  But it’s also why I’m excited to be blogging with Barb Craig on Seagate’s new IT-focused blog, Inside IT Storage.

Barb and I work in Seagate’s Enterprise design center. We hope to bring some ”3rd party” objectivity and clarity to issues that server and storage system vendors are sometimes unable to agree on, given their varied ideologies.

The Inside IT Storage blog will be different than Storage Effect.  Exactly how? You tell us.

For starters, we’ll focus exclusively on IT topics, and go deeper than is possible with Storage Effect. We’ll also bring in some the storage wizards within Seagate to add their two cents.

So…what do you want to talk about?
