I have been working on a class to create 837 files to allow the company to provide electronic billing capabilities, so far the class has working successfully with a few issues here and there.  very soon we will have a a 837 that cover all instances of billing as long it stays along the government standard.

not a bas start for this week.

Syscom a  software and hardware (Systems) partner had a presentation at the westin hotel in hallandale,Fl.

At end of the presentation I got to play on a segway; that was LOTS of fun. shame I ripped my pants, but luckily I was not wearing any funny boxers lol.  I also have to add that they were kind enough to buy me a pair of short from the golf store at the hotel.

presentation keys:

among the presentaion I got to see interesting technology

1. RiveBed WAN Optimizer-
   1. cool technology
   2. a must check out
   3. increases speed across network
   4. I might have to look more into it in a near future project
2. Compellent SAN -
   1. I deployed their system at work for our core servers
   2. greate product
   3. expensive
   4. not so expensive when needed to increase storage size, compared to competition.
   5. if you don’t have forcasted to grow exponentially - look somewhere else cheaper other wise it will payoff at the long haul.
3. VizioCore -
   1. not very innovating.
   2. technology can be bought form other vendors -  veeam backup?
   3. only highlight was vfoglight to monitor vmware. $699 per socket seem a bit steep.
