Even if you've visited Byte and Switch before, take a good look around. We’ve refurbished our site, making it easier to get to the content you care most about—news and opinion.

We’re redoubling our efforts to write for the enterprise IT buyers of storage—how you make procurement decisions, deal with management issues, and work with suppliers to drive innovation.

If you’re a new Byte and Switch reader or returning, you can also count on us for meaty content that helps you get to grips with a particularly thorny technical issue. Whether it’s SAN versus NAS, Fibre Channel or iSCSI, or a toss-up between Continuous Data Protection (CDP) and Data Protection Manager (DPM), our experts and end-user case studies can help you make more informed decisions.

What’s more, Byte and Switch continues its focus on original reporting on breaking news stories. In addition, we will provide ongoing information on the industry, helping you track storage-related stocks and keep current with a ticker of headlines about the public companies making news on a daily basis.

We have taken aboard the editors of all publications. In addition to the existing team, we are proud to announce that Terry Sweeney, who originated Storage Pipeline, is now Editor in Chief of Byte and Switch. James Rogers, formerly Site Editor of NDCF, has joined as well.

We're also happy to say that long-time Storage Pipeline columnist Jon William Toigo is making the transition with us to Byte and Switch. Look for his provocative insights and occasional rants twice a month. We've also archived on Byte and Switch the last year's worth of his columns from Storage Pipeline.

We're pleased to be partnering with CMP's Network Computing for product reviews and lab tests that really bang on those arrays and put storage software suites through their paces.
