Linkage:
I’ve known Nick Howell off and on for a few years now. I think we first met face to face at NetApp’s location at RTP, North Carolina. That was back when I was still an independent, freelance instructor – albeit affliated to TechTarget after their acquisition of my old “RTFM Education” site. Nick’s been handy resource for all things NetApp/SRM related, as well being handy touch stone for what’s happening over there in StorageLand. Nick runs the NetApp podcast – here’s some linkage:

I think they used to use TalkShoe like the VMware VMTN Communities Round-table podcast. But they moved away from it because it was unreliable (perhaps there’s message there for us!).
We cover off a couple of topics including:
- Nick Howell of NetApp talks about vVOLs
- His views on “Software Defined Storage”
- NetApp storage in Amazon
- NetApp Insight Conference and its relationship with the community
- Engineers Unplugged…
