About

My name is Catherine Liao and welcome to my blog. Under news you'll find the latest postings of various blogs I follow. The topics tend to center around WAN Optimization, Cloud Computing, Data Center, Virtualization, Servers, Web Technologies and 24x7 Operations.

These are topics that I'm interested in as I've spent a large chunk of my professional career building, deploying, and maintaining 24x7 application delivery environments. I use the knowledge I've garnered daily in my role as a Business Development Manager for Cisco. I should note that this site is my personal site and does not reflect the views of Cisco.

I'm also very passionate about wine and have created a mobile platform for wine lovers to remember and share the wines they are having. How often have you asked yourself "What was that great bottle of wine I had last night"? Corkbin solves that problem by being your pocket wine memory. The app records the label, notes, & gps location of a wine so that you can look it up the next time you're in a restaurant or wine shop.

Feel free to drop me a note if you find this site useful or if you'd like for me to check out your blog. I can be reached at catherine.liao@gmail.com. You can also connect with me via LinkedIn or Twitter.
