Building Out A VMware Home Lab

February 25, 2013 in Networking, Storage, Tech, Virtualization

Sounds exciting right! Well a while back I wrote how I was going to build out a view environment in the Dell TechCenter lab. Due to some circumstances out of my control that idea passed and I have not been able to covert the dream into reality. Hence I have turned my attention to building out a “Mobile Lab” that will allow me to learn more about the products/technology themselves and also be able to take it to any events that I may attend. I will be posting some updates […]

Which (Free) Cloud Storage To Choose

December 20, 2012 in Non-Tech, Storage, Tech

There are many free cloud storage options out there to choose from, but which ones are the best? Do you go by who gives you the most free storage, the one recommended by a co-worker, by a friend, or by the latest pop-up you saw? Maybe you go the more responsible route and choose based upon reliability, security, ease of use, cost and their support. Any way you decide there are a few names that keep popping up.

PowerConnect iSCSI Optimization

August 6, 2012 in Networking, Storage

One of the questions I see a lot is how to configure our PowerConnect switches for iSCSI optimization. First let’s talk a little about what this actually does within the switch itself. iSCSI optimization provides the following features: Ability to assign a specific QoS profile to the iSCSI flows Display of iSCSI session details (connections, initiator, target, and so on) Identification of (self-discovered) iSCSI sessions Identification of iSCSI session termination Identification of non-active iSCSI sessions Another cool feature of this is it will auto detect EqualLogic arrays automatically reconfigure the […]

June 12, 2012 in Events, Storage

So the PS-M4110 was announced Tuesday at the Dell Storage Forum keynote and since then there have been a few questions. A better part of those questions have been asked around management. So we pulled David Stevens, Dell EqualLogic engineer for a bit to talk about it. There’s a link to the blog post at the end. First let’s talk a little about what the array is. The PS-M4110 is a double-wide, half-height blade form factor that will support up to 14 x 2.5” drives. The blade features up to […]
