the
International CES show. At least, we're going to try, from underneath this pile of tissues. It
seems we're not alone in what is becoming an epic germ battle, as illustrated in this graph we
found showing U.S. flu trends
using aggregated Google search data. But you know us, we'll be fine. You go ahead and
enjoy quizzing yourself on cloud facts, reading the latest on data center information management
and big data, and finding out why Vegas might be a lousy place to visit but a good place to
live.

- Just last week we featured the prediction that data center information management was going to be hot, and lookee here: a piece on DCIM and big data analytics. Sure, it's one in a series of nine blog posts about data centers, but it's totally the hottest part.
