Long-time technology and channel writer Alison Diana was named editor in chief of the site. Diana brings more than 23 years of writing and editing experience, starting with 10 years at CRN, followed by a freelance career that included articles written for InformationWeek, Channel Insider, VARBusiness, Redmond Channel Partner, eWEEK, Baseline Magazine, Florida Today, Healthcare Software Review, ChannelPro, and Tech Decisions. She will oversee the Website community, including its blogs, message boards, and live chats.
Bloggers will include IT professionals and solution provider executives who are involved in selecting, designing, and supporting solutions based on the technologies discussed on 21st Century IT.
"I am excited about the endless possibilities of this community, a place on the Web for professionals who are involved in their organizations' adoption of virtualization, transitions to new storage solutions, and the entire IT transformation occurring today," says Diana. "21st Century IT will become a venue for storage pros, executives at small and midsized businesses, and branch-office managers, who must lead their organizations' storage initiatives. No doubt, we'll see many lively conversations, exchanges of best-practices, and some fascinating blogs from industry experts."
The site is published by UBM DeusM and UBM Channel. EMC is the exclusive sponsor.
