Being in Brussels for Tivoli training (see waffles above), I ask John to give us his usual take on the character of the IT Management people he’s encountering on the road. We both agree that the European IT Management folks he tends to deal with tend to be extremely straight-forward, at least compared to the sugar-coating goodie nice-guys we’re both used to in America.
While there isn’t a lot of news to cover for this episode, I ask John to walk us through troubled economic times he’s been through in the past. More so than just targeting the effect on IT - and how IT can survive bad money times - I ask him how it effect IT Management.
After discussing that topic for the bulk of the episode, John gives us his take on the Novell plans to acquire Managed Objects and I reprise my analysis of as well. We also talk about the virtualization numbers out on Microsoft’s market share in that space, and John tells us about the uptick in PowerShell he’s seen, at least in one study.
