"What sold me on joining Cisco was the excellent opportunity to explore the 'uncharted territory' that is the network's role in cloud computing." With those words the tireless and insightful Cloud blogger James Urquhart (pictured) this week revealed that he's taking on the role of Marketing Manager/Technology Evangelist for Data Center Virtualization at Cisco Systems, Inc. (including Cloud Computing and Cisco's Data Center 3.0 strategy, at least as it relates to virtualization). "I have the chance to be part of what will most likely be the most important producer of cloud and virtualization enabled networking software, services and equipment," Urquhart adds.
He started his career programming a manufacturing job tracking system on the Macintosh (circa 1991), and slowly expanded his experience to include distributed systems architectures, online community and identity systems, and most recently utility computing and cloud computing architectures.kennyo wrote: Actually, Egenera's CEO is staying on as Board chairman. As the company transitions to be a multi-platform player, the feeling is to have management who are experts about software, the converged infrastructure market, and familiar with the players in the space. Ergo the new CEO, and ergo the new levels of backing from investors. The company is still hiring in its field and OEM spaces, and in conversations with multiple IHV partners.
