The Heads up blog
Mark has over 20 years of experience in IT – from hardware engineering to product marketing to technical consultancy – and was an early proponent of sustainable computing principles and how to adapt existing IT estates in order to reduce energy consumption, cooling requirements and running costs. Mark may have a reputation for being opinionated – but, more often than not, his opinions are not only valid but can help businesses to make better use of their IT infrastructure. Having seen virtually all aspects of what makes IT suppliers and IT users tick, Mark can cut through the marketing hype, evaluate new technologies and select the products that deliver benefits now and have development ‘road maps’ that hold the promise of further benefits in the future.
