It might sound strange, but it really is one of the strength points of GURU advisor: all the people writing and collaborating with this publication work in the IT world. We aren’t talking about journalists with a past as editors, writers keen on computers or brilliant and willing college student. All the people that write and collaborate with us work concretely with a commitment - maybe not a full time one - in the IT world. And that’s truly an added value for GURU advisor: nobody of us pretends to be an expert, nobody talks about something that doesn’t know in practice.
It’s not odd that we published an issue in August but not in September, save for the due updates from the VMworld. We return this month with an issue with lots of news, amongst those a number of new article on VMware vSphere. It has been a long time since we last added contents in this section, so I hope you’ll enjoy it.

In this issue you’ll also find the 7 golden rules on how to make good backups. Unfortunately this activity, which is fundamental for any company, is often underestimated. I hope you won’t find anything new when reading the article!

We’ve investigated the technologies behind online meetings, webinars and conferences. The offering is vast but it’s quite hard to understand what are the products we’re actually looking for in terms of budget and features. An in-depth comparison table will help you to quickly check the characteristics of these products.
This month too our lawyer will help us to understand better about the Cloud world in order to leverage it and, who knows, maybe start a new business.

Have a good reading!
Ciao!
