Buzzword Bingo

Do you carry a mobile phone for work? In this week’s Buzzword Bingo, Jason, Mike and two entertaining and knowledgeable guests from Amsterdam survey the current state of mobile phones for corporate use. Jan-Willem Ruys and Jerry de Boer are both Cisco Consulting Systems Engineers. They have years of enterprise mobility experience and offer some interesting perspectives on device usability and functionality. We compare Google Android, Windows Mobile, iPhone, Nokia and Blackberry phones and cover the Net-Net News, Rants and of course, the Call-To-Action (hint: it involves MC Hammer pants).

Server virtualization is commonplace in the enterprise today. But what about desktop virtualization? What benefit does desktop virtualization bring to the enterprise end-user? Why go through the trouble of virtualizing the desktop when many applications are moving to the browser? On this week’s Buzzword Bingo, we’ll talk to two virtualization experts, Kevin Corbin (Data Center Architect – Cisco) and Michael Williams (Architect – Sisters of Mercy Health System).
