How The Storage Writer Differs from Other Writers

Many good freelance writers exist in the market. Many even have excellent knowledge of general IT topics. But, few know enough about day-to-day enterprise storage management to be able to get up-to-speed quickly on any project.

With The Storage Writer, Inc., vendors “hit the ground running” with aggressive rollout schedules and minimal need to educate the writer. There’s no need to start with Storage 101. That means you don’t need to waste time explaining:

  • The difference between SAN/NAS or block and file
  • Acronyms like D2D2T
  • Management tasks and goals involved in backup, DR and archival
  • The meaning of storage, server or file virtualization
  • The impact of compliance regulations, green IT and IT governance initiatives
  • The role of technologies like SATA disks, wide area services
  • The role of shared storage in growing virtual server environments

 

This prior knowledge typically translates into:

  • Shorter ramp-up times at the start of a writing project
  • Minimal background interviews
  • Easier review cycles
  • Cleaner first drafts with minimal revision
