One year after the launch of its first blog, focused on security (http://blogs.orange-business.com/securite), Orange Business Services continues to forge ahead with its online approach, launching a blog on a booming subject: virtualization and cloud computing.


Sharing with virtualization experts on the Orange Business Services blog
Focused on the virutialization of information infrastructures (applications, workstations servers and data storage), the new Orange Business Services blog addresses the entire virtualization and cloud computing community. Its goal is to offer Orange Business Services’ experts point of views and insight and enable experiences to be shared and information exchanged on all issues relating to virtualization.

The blogging team today consists of 11 experts, who have been pioneering the way forward on server and workstation virtualization since 1991. Engineers, consultants or marketers, their diverse profiles enable them to provide new insight and experiences dovetailing effectively with one another. The development of information systems and uses, organizational impacts, change management, architecture, itinerant work, security, confidentiality, etc. are just some of the subjects that may be looked at by the experts and submitted for discussion through their posts.
With a Twitter account, you can follow all of the blog's latest news in real-time.

A web community strategy in plain take off
Since being created, the Orange Business Services blogs (Security Blog, Orange Business Live Blog, IT Blog for the Middle East and Africa) have attracted nearly 100,000 visitors who have read some 200,000 pages, generating one thousand comments and more than 300 back-links. Orange Business Services WebTV and the blogs are at the heart of an open B2B community, grouping together quality web sites and blogs under the "Orange b2b" label. This label is based on the quality and relevance of the professional content offered, whether or not it concerns IT. The aim is to guide professionals towards web sources that will enable them to improve their knowledge and enhance their professional practices. The Orange b2b label is intended to lay the foundations for a community of members sharing their experiences and viewpoints within an extensive professional network.
