Tech Field Day 7 starts this morning and I am excited to get to our first presenter, Solarwinds (they have Tacos!). After we eat our Tacos and hear about Solarwinds we will move onto Symantec and then to Dell. You can follow the action on twitter or watch it live, right after the break!

When you have 13 geeks (plus a Foskett, not sure what to classify him as) transcending on a city at the same time there will be shenanigans. This is exactly what is going to happen tomorrow!
I will be joining a great group of tech bloggers at Tech Field Day 7. It will be two days of amazing information and discussions revolving around data center technologies. Sponsoring the event will be SolarWinds (@SolarWinds_Inc), Symantec (@Symantec), Veeam (@Veeam) and Dell (@Dell_Storage). My fellow TFD 7 deleates are below!

You know you’re probably doing something right when three of your biggest competitors start acting like the world has come to an end. In this case, it’s Microsoft versus the anti-virus world.
While we like to stress the importance of anti-virus products on all platforms, they’re sort of like insurance companies. Their products are usually expensive and bloated, and when you really need them most of the time they’re not that effective. Microsoft’s Security Essentials product is arguably one of the best anti-virus products on the market, and it’s free, and it’s got traditional vendors like Symantec, McAfee and Trend Micro scared. Even more so now that Microsoft has begun distributing the software to users directly through it’s Microsoft Update service.
