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

  1. The email newsletter contents you proposed seem so technically advanced and savvy that they will surely attract and accumulate followers /email subscribers en masse. The design of the email newsletter is equally impressive with the linked out topics, the segmentation of the contents and the major highlights of a topics, etc. I am sure that a potential client of your business will find your email newsletter as valuable sources of information about IT networking and data storage. I do have one question about your email newsletter. How often do you plan for the newsletter to be sent? Is it weekly or monthly?

    1. Thanks for the comment! Most likely our newsletters would go out monthly, since the IT field is a crowded one, and there are many voices. I'd prefer having a bit of time to put together information and advice that will hopefully be useful and insightful, rather than be pressed to fill space on a weekly basis.

  2. Your ideas of a newsletter are interesting because the first thing that caught my attention was the performance of their data storage. When reading this newsletter, the reader will know that what their current data storage, which is useful if someone is looking for that type of information. The comparing of popular network management is another useful feature because it will show the reader which network management runs faster or better protection.
