Looks like I have to break out the work wardrobe again. I’ve been asked to participate in two upcoming Webcasts, being run on MSPtv and hosted by both Vertical Systems Reseller and MSPtv’s “Around the Channel” program.

My first appearance is on Vertical Systems Reseller’s VSR Channel Live program, with their editor, Regina Ciardello. Regina and I chatted about healthcare IT trends for the new year, including what the electronic medical records movement could mean for IT solution providers. Be sure to register at the Channel Live link above, to see me either as it airs on Friday, Jan. 22, at 1 p.m. EASTERN or in the archived edition.

I was also thrilled to be asked to be a guest on “Around the Channel,” which is a program on MSPtv. I’ll be speaking on the topic of “Managing Virtualization,” which becomes an even more complex problem as organizations take on more virtual servers, storage and desktops. I’ll be chatting about why virtual server sprawl could be an even bigger challenge than physical server sprawl and what tools are at the IT solution provider’s disposal to make sense of the mess. The segment will air on Wednesday, Feb. 17, at 12:30 p.m. EASTERN. Here’s a link for registering for my live appearance.
