The new offerings bring enhanced security to HP FlexFabric, the company’s high-performance, flexible and secure data center networking fabric for a Converged Infrastructure. As organizations move to more virtualized and converged infrastructures, the importance of security is increased. Virtualized environments and their applications are subject to the same threats that impact traditional data centers. While many virtual machines (VM) are hosted on a single server, one security breach can have a disastrous impact. As a result, when organizations accelerate the migration of production workloads and mission-critical assets to a virtualized environment, security requirements must become a strategic element of these plans.

There’s a reason that Kauai is known as the Garden Isle among the islands of Hawaii. Perhaps you’ve watched South Pacific, Blue Hawaii or even Jurassic Park with the craggy, dramatic, velvet-green mountains that meet with rolling ocean waves and swaying palm trees and wondered where Hollywood found such a lush tropical paradise, the answer is Kauai. As with any one of the Hawaiian Islands, it’s best to try to spend 4 or more days on each island, or even better, spend a week on each! A little more laid back than Oahu and more rugged than Maui, Kauai is an adventure seeker’s dream.

I hope you have had a great weekend, mine was awesome. As I sit here this morning, I started thinking about all the negative junk I read over the weekend about Mike Potillo and his involvement in a company called 360. Let me start with a little background. I first met Mike in the mid nineties at a convention right after he had joined the company I was involved with. “Ignorance on Fire” would be a good description of him at the time. He was a very likeable young man with big dreams. When I started my own company in 2000 Mike called our office one day and said “I want to come to work for you”. At the time I did everything I could to discourage him, but about 8 hours later at $8.00 an hour he showed up at my office with his car loaded down. He wasn’t going to take no as an answer. Over the next few years Mike worked in our office daily. He loved the excitement. Many times I have wished he could have been with me a few years earlier when I could have had more time to provide direct business building support. Eventually, I decided that I did not want the responsibility of a downline or owning a company and decided to semi- retire and just focus on generic training, consulting and seminars. That is what I have been doing for the last 8 years or so.
