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. Microsoft SkyDrive, SugarSync, Mozy, Dropbox, Box, Google Drive. There’s a good article […]

I originally posted this on DellTechCenter.com, but thought it would be a good fit here too! This blog will show the basic initial steps to configure your Force10 S55 for use with iSCSI.

Help me, help you, help me..make a decision

August 15, 2012 in Tech

I was recently invited to be a guest speaker on Lance Boley’s Datacenter Chic podcast along with Kong Yang. This was on our upcoming trip to VMword 2012 in San Francisco and our annual user group there. I was honored to be a part of it and I think it provides valuable information about the event and also letting everyone know our plans while we’re there. So here’s my question. I am thinking about starting a podcast or VLOG series and I want to know if you find these valuable? […]

Can Never Have To Much Memory

July 5, 2012 in Tech

Working for Dell TechCenter I do a lot of editing and creating at home. Well it turns out when you have Photoshop, after effects, Sony Vegas, Camtasia, Illustrator, Outlook, TweetDeck, and a couple other programs running at the same time…the 12gb of memory that you have gets bogged down pretty quickly. So I decided to take the plunge and upgrade my Aliennware to 24Gb. I was thinking it would still be a little sluggish, but I was wrong. Even with all those programs running there is no delay in doing […]
