Buzzword Bingo

With the recent Apple iPad announcement, tablets have once again been the topic of conversation in tech circles. In this week’s episode, we talk about tablets in the Enterprise and how they might be utilized effectively. We also share our specific opinions about the iPad.

We’ve decided to shorten the show format. There are lots of great tech news podcasts out there. So we’ve dropped the Net-Net-News segment. We’re keeping the main topic, rants and call-to-action. In fact, this week’s call-to-action is sure to make you smile.

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). They join Mike and Jason for a healthy debate on the future of the enterprise desktop.
