A Dr. Soltis sighting! Yea! Good for Vision Solutions

Frank Soltis Has Landed

Dr. Frank Soltis, who recently retired from IBM, has landed a new gig: He
has joined the Vision Solutions Technology Advisory Board. Vision Solutions
focuses on high availability and disaster recovery solutions.

The company says Soltis will share his experience and insight as he helps
guide product strategies. The board, by the way, is made up of IBM Power
Systems experts, including employees, customers, business partners, and
consultants.

"These industry leaders work on long-term technology and product strategies
for advanced solutions across IBM Power Systems. There's nothing quite like
it in the IBM Power Systems world today," notes Alan Arnold, chief
technology officer and executive vice president of Vision Solutions, who
leads the board as its chairperson. "We are honored to have Dr. Soltis join
this prestigious team of professionals, where he will bring unique
perspectives and insights."

And it turns out, Soltis won't be spending all his time around a big table
behind closed doors. He'll be speaking at a few upcoming road shows with
Arnold. They are set for:

Milan, Italy -- Feb. 24, 2009 at 2 p.m., Grand Hotel Villa Toretta, Via
Milanese 3, Seto San Giovanni
Rome, Italy -- Feb. 26, 2009 at 2 p.m., Hotel Villa Pamphili, Via Della
Nocetta 105, Rome
Paris, France -- Feb. 27, 2009 at 9 a.m., Hotel Westminster, 13 Rue de la
Paix, 75002 Paris
Hmm. Milan, Rome, Paris . . . it sounds like Soltis is a guy who really
knows how to retire!
