The Techreckoning Podcast

How can IT contribute to the business if they are kept busy and trapped by taking care of infrastructure? That's one of the questions we tackle in this conversation I recently had with two IT admins from smaller businesses. Both of these admins, one from a tire manufacturer, and on from a public health department, talk about their roles and how they add to the operations of their respective businesses. We were gathered for the launch of Nutanix Xpress, their new offering for small- and medium-sized businesses. We all appeared in an online video program (hopefully it will appear online soon and I'll link to it) that was launching the product. Afterwards we gathered for this podcast. Both guests are long-time Nutanix customers, and jumped in early and with both feet with Nutanix. The platform is performing well for them and this "invisible infrastructure" is giving them more time to contribute in value-added ways by using technology in the service of the business.  Tom, who works at a public health department,
