Temperature in Dubai, UAE
Clabby Analytics is an independent information technology (IT) research and analysis firm located in Dubai, UAE. My firm specializes in providing counter opinion that bucks the conventional wisdom of other IT research analyst firms as well as providing alternate views of current market trends. The reason that I do this is not to be "mean-spirited" -- it is to provide IT buyers with different perspective. It is my hope that you take an opinion from another research firm or vendor, balance it with my counter opinion -- and then draw your own conclusions.
Clabby Analytics areas of coverage include systems architectures (microprocessors, blades, midrange systems, high-end systems and mainframes); in CVP (consolidation, virtualization, and provisioning); and in “green” (environmentally-focused) computing.
My firm is unique in that I:
- Travel the world extensively — so I bring international focus to my research;
- Challenge the “conventional wisdom” of other IT research and analysis firms;
- Am willing to take advocacy positions for various products (products that I believe in!) — and I am willing to point out deficiencies in competing products.
- Challenge the “conventional wisdom” of other IT research and analysis firms;
As you read my reports, be aware of these points:
- I publish what I believe based on a robust research/analysis process;
- I actually do talk directly with IT buyers/users before publishing reports;
- I am willing to defend my positions verbally or in writing (contact me at jclabby1@AOL.com with comments and criticism about what I’ve written or said).
