Spring 07 Roundtable update

Day 1 - Part 1

I arrived in Houston at 8:00 a.m. but by the time I got the rental car and drove to the meeting site, it was about 9:20 a.m. Vendor presentations were the agenda for the day with a lot of great information presented. Jason Powell of Granger Church and John Dolan of Perimeter shared their experiences with VMware. This is a product that is definitely worth an indepth look! The next presentation was from Xcentric which dealt with outsourcing/hosting. It was very informative but not something I would be interested in at this time. Jeff Paz of Katharion gave a very thorough description of the types of filtering his company provides. Their suite of services include serving as a: web filter, IM filter, Spam filter, Anti-virus, fraud detection, archiving, etc. This seems to be a great solution for an all-around filtering solution. I will be checking on charity pricing in the very near future. The remaining presentations highlights will be discussed in my next post.

Tomorrow the whole days discussion will be on the actual roundtable agenda to be covered in future postings.
