The social media talking heads (who seem to be just about everybody these days) strongly recommend that blogs be updated frequently, at a minimum of two-three times per week. If that’s the suggested goal, well, I’ve been failing miserably. I mentioned in an earlier blog post that we had begun looking into a Web site redesign. We’re on our way towards a new site, and I think that’s why I haven’t been blogging as much – I want to save all our good content for a our new, pretty site.

Seven10 observations, thoughts, and forecasts (in no particular order):

1) We’re pumped for EMC World from May 10-13. Stop by our booth, #912. We’re scheduled to deliver two presentations during the conference.

2) Announcement preview: Seven10’s StorFirst EAS technology will be joining our StorFirst Altus product in EMC’s Select program.

3) Seven10 will be hitting the road this summer on a tour with our technology. We’ll be visiting over 10 cities across the country and will reveal the schedule in the next month or so. If we’re in your area, schedule a meeting with us. We’d love to talk to you.

4) Seven10 will be announcing the release of StorFirst EAS v. 3.7, rich with new features.

5) LOTS of cloud start-up companies? Wow. We’re looking forward to seeing how this plays out. We’re working with EMC on a lot of cloud initiatives. Lots of buzz, but organizations are slow to adopt so far.

6) Check out our product videos: www.youtube.com/user/Seven10Storage. We’re adding more every few weeks.

I’ll end this by saying what a great time it is to be a Boston sports fan. Bruins have had a [surprisingly] good playoff run so far, up 3-1 in the series against Buffalo. People predicted the Celtics to fall to the Heat, but they have a comfortable 2-0 lead in that series.

Red Sox progress and Belicheck’s drafting strategy – we’ll, uh, ahem, see what happens.
