It annoys me when vendors release new products and don’t update their global website correctly.
Like this link for HDS; http://www.hds.com/products/storage-systems/adaptable-modular-storage-2000-family/index.html?WT.ac=prodssams2000
Which should follow through to a page (link at the bottom) to AMS2000 Specifications. Except it doesn’t – it only displays the older models. Doesn’t a product release of the level [...]

Well, I wasted 3 hours of my life last night trying to get Hyper-V working on one of my PC/servers. Admittedly it’s an ancient 2 years old, only has PCI-Express, SATA-II support and up to 4-core Intel processors, but for some reason, my attempts to install Hyper-V would get just so far and fail with [...]
Thanks to Chuck who pointed out to me SVC’s ability to move virtual WWNs between nodes during replacement. At some stage in the future I may get to play with SVC but I haven’t so far, so this feature eluded me. Question: is SVC the *only* block virtualisation appliance to offer this functionality and is [...]
There’s been a lot of talk this week about Compellent and their support for solid state drives. See the press release here. So now we have two vendors offering SSD devices in their arrays, Compellent join the club with EMC. Which is best?
At a meeting I had last week, we [...]
There’s no doubting that storage virtualisation will prove to be a key component of IT architecture in the future. The overall benefit is to abstract the physical storage layer from servers either in the fabric, or through the use of a dedicated appliance or even in the array itself.
Over time, storage resources can be [...]
As well as storage, one area of IT I find really interesting is virtualisation. Over the years I’ve used VM (e.g. the IBM mainframe platform), MVS (now morphed into z/OS) as well as products such as Iceberg. More recently I’ve been using VMware since it was first released and finally have managed to deploy a [...]
HP announced today their intention to acquire LeftHand networks, an iSCSI and virtualised SAN player.
Now, I doubt HP needed to buy LeftHand for their iSCSI technology. I suspect the bigger play here is the virtualised SAN technology they have – also known as the Virtual SAN Appliance. This allows a SAN to be created [...]
Yesterday I discussed beating the credit crunch by getting your house in order. This was picked up my Marc Farley over at StorageRap and he posted accordingly. Marc, thanks for the additional comments, I will be reviewing the diagram accordingly based on your thoughts.
Moving on, think to yourself does [...]
