SysAdmin Magazine: RIP

CMP issued a press release today that announced “Based on shifting audience and market conditions, CMP is closing SysAdmin.” If you didn’t see it, that may have something to do with this nugget being buried in the 28th paragraph. This is a great loss for the community since SysAdmin was one of the few (if not the only?) magazines aimed squarely at the IT Ops/Admin teams which we serve. Part of me wonders whether this is just a natural side effect of more and more time spent online versus the magazine itself simply running out of steam. The timing is also ironic given the recent amount of activity in tools and technologies (like Hyperic HQ) aimed squarely at these readers.
