Our avid followers on Twitter have already heard that Craig Matsumoto, most recently Managing Editor at Light Reading (UBM Techweb), has joined that SDxCentral team as Managing Editor. Matt and I are pleased to welcome him to the team and look forward to expanding our news coverage and content to a new level with Craig's help and guidance.

Those of us in the thick of the SDN, NFV and network virtualization space are already familiar with Craig and his contributions to the space--he was one of the first in mainstream media to recognize the relevance and importance of the SDN and NFV movements. It was only natural for him help us take SDxCentral to the next level of professionalism.

At SDxCentral, our aim is to leverage Craig's talents and skills to expand our ability to cover and write about the SDN, NFV, and network virtualization market spaces and to provide an agile, community-focused media and education platform for all stakeholders. That doesn't mean you'll stop hearing from Matt or me though--on the contrary, you'll now hear from all of us, and we will aim to provide more comprehensive news coverage, while sharing our strategic insights and even more scar tissue from spending the last 20 years in networking.

Craig's joining the SDxCentral team is the first of some amazing developments and investments underway at SDxCentral to further drive market awareness and education in SDN, NFV, and network virtualization.  Expect a number of announcement this fall around major enhancements to SDxCentral that will make it is easy for you to search and locate key content that contained within the directory of organizations, products, services, and open-source projects,

Likewise, with the fast-growing pool of interviews, contributed articles, SDxCentral articles, and news on the site, we are designing new ways to package and deliver this information to you in a timely and efficient manner. For our registered members, you'll continue to see more members-only content made available in a transparent and easy to access manner (yes, we promise to reduce the number of forms to fill in our site).

These are just a sample of the significant improvements and enhancements on the way, so stay tuned!
