You long-time and short-time admins out there, you ever ask the question "Wow, I wish I had an owners manual for my filer".   I hear it time and time again about the sheer volume of information available to support the filer, but nothing short, simple and sweet to cover it.

Well, look no further than the excellent collateral Rusty Walther and John Laino’s organization brought us!

Welcome to another beta exam released in STEALTH!

Yes, this exam, NS1-060, will eventually be launched as NS0-060, and will be for an "Accredited Support Engineer".   So what does that mean? Hard to say, it seems like it may build upon the experience of the NS1-050 exam (which should be just dropping out of beta shortly)

And speaking of the timing, this particular exam will be available (Free $0.00) as a beta until November 7th!!!   Wow!

As usual, I will take the exam and provide a prospective post-mortem following the taking of it.

Be on the look out for other exams, and as I find out more details about it, I’ll be sure to share!

Good luck out there!

I want to make special mention of Vaughn Stewart of of the Virtual Storage Guy blog.

This guy is sharp, smart, and quite possibly one of the best resources you can tap regarding Virtualization as a technology for the past, present and future.

If you have virtualization involved in your datacenter, small, medium or large.  I’d keep a close watch on what he has to say :)

So, welcome his re-entry to the blogosphere with a visit to his blog! :)

So, timestamp’s aside, NetApp Blogs have snuck 4 more blogs into the blogosphere!

Fortunately for all of us as well, these happen to be some amazingly excellent blogs!

Check them out, and stay tuned for more!

So, I’ve had this Prius since 2006 (I held off until that point for the Tax deduction)

But I thought I’d finally publish my photos especially since I finally got around to getting my pkguild plate within the last year or so.

So if you happen to see me on the road, say hi!

Like my shiny NetApp plate cover? :)
