Newsletter Ideas: A (short) list

At VDS Solutions, most of our business is geared towards putting together a suite of hardware, software and software licenses to fit a specific business requirement.  This is most often geared towards data storage and backup suites and the management of server operations and network infrastructure and data flow management.  A few ideas for newsletter content, in no particular order:

• Highlight a recent data storage and backup solution provided to a local business
• Summarize the initial requirement submitted by the business
• Provide overview of internal reasoning behind hardware/software choices
• Emphasize benefits of delivered solution (% increase in performance/reliability)
• Ideally, close with customer testimonial
• Give an overview of two or three popular network management suites
• Hit major points in newsletter, linking back to larger article/blog post
• Quickly compare/contrast solutions, and evaluate benefits of each
• Again, quick blurbs from actual businesses using each product would be ideal
• Quick write-up on our internal HW/SW management suite (Microsoft's System Center)
• Methodologies behind patch management and software deployment
• Overview of Operations Manager, discussion of SNMP (features & security issues)
• 'Virtual app' feature of Configuration Manager - uses and pitfalls
