SyncBlaze in 2013 – A look ahead

Looking back in the rear view mirror while on the road ahead, I can definitely  say that 2012 was a terrific year for SyncBlaze, a fact amply borne out by many intangible as well as measurable aspects, some of which were laid out in detail by Sajesh in his recap post. We are extremely pleased to have acquired close to a hundred partners that have deployed this solution for their many customers and innumerable users. In addition, the accruing buzz in the midst of thousands of inquisitive service providers and resellers who have contacted us during this past year to learn more about our channel focussed business file sharing and collaboration solution does lead me to believe that we can assuredly look forward to a breakout year in 2013.

Interop NYC 2012 – In retrospect

Interop | Javits Center, New York, NY | October 1-5, 2012

Len and I heard from a wide spectrum of participants ranging from the Senior executives at large enterprises (like McGraw Hill, Tata communications, Nippon Life etc) to Data center providers, Large Managed Service providers , Small and Medium IT services providers, regional distributors, small businesses and even self employed individuals as well besides a few existing partners who graciously stopped by to wish us.

Though the attendance, concentration of appropriate audience and booth participation was less than we had expected from this highly touted hub for peer networking among technology professionals, I want to rather focus on the important lessons we gathered from those selective and stimulating moments at the expo where we met with professionals who wanted to make sense of the groundbreaking advances in mobility, cloud computing, data center and virtualization solutions and discussed with us on our offerings that could be of value to them.

Advice from Dr. Share More: How I learned to Stop worrying and Start loving the Information Overload!

While cautiously brooding over the impact of frictionless sharing in our lives, i felt it apt to borrow a leaf from the title of one of the greatest satirical movies of our times about a nuclear scare triggered by the actions of a crazy general. The nuclear apocalypse foreseen due to the policy of MAD (mutually assured destruction) bolstered by the buildup of missiles by proponents during the cold war formed the basis for that satire by Stanley Kubrick.

Supposedly, you will hear a lot about this extraordinary quantum of data measurement by 2015 as per an infographic courtesy of Cisco on internet traffic though we have likely crossed this figure in terms of data created and stored worldwide.

Amazing Rant on the Future by ex Apple UI designer

In our last post on “Why cloud the future of Dropbox and Evernote?”, our simple message was to  dump on certain media bombast projecting the future as a mere extension of current trends.

Recently we have been noticing online media outlets of certain stripes going viral with their semi promotional trend castings. Overwhelming our embedded tubes are glorified mirages of their slanted visions and thunderous sound bites from their decaying wisdom teeth. So, we decided to pull the wool over the crystal ball and tell it like it might be otherwise. For the techies contemplating and crunching mythical accounts of the future, read on and peep.

Recently we came across these screamers in the headlines about how popular cloud based services will simply continue their windfall ad infinitum.
