- Official Unofficial VMware Storage Survey Results!!!
-
Wow. There are surprisingly few good “big studies” of VMware and storage. Most tend to be very general (the big analysts) or very specific (and connected to a vendor in some way). For fun, every year – I run a Virtual Geek study. I’m always amazed that ANYONE would respond, but respond they do (thank ... Continue Reading » - How the Grinch Stole Tapes

Every Moo Down in Moo-ville Liked tape backups a lot… But the Grinch, Who lived just north of Moo-ville, Did NOT! The Grinch hated tape backups! He considered it treason! Now, some might ask why. But there’s not just one reason. It could be that he hated working all through the night. It could be, ... Continue Reading » - To Manage or How to Manage, That Is the Question

In the last few weeks, I’ve been in the process of moving my lab and as my environment gets bigger, it gets increasingly difficult for me to stay on top of it.

If you were following us (@EMCBackup) on Twitter last week, you know we were at Gartner’s annual Data Center Conference in Vegas.

“Just because I’m not a huge enterprise company, doesn’t mean my data is any less important to my business than theirs is to them.” – Midsize enterprise customer While many companies deploy traditional storage-based replication for critical applications and data, the disaster recovery (DR) “solution” for much of their data is still “putting tape in ...

You don’t know what you don’t know… I’d like to say that in the world of backup and recovery ignorance is bliss, but it’s not. What we don’t know about our backup environments today will – just as we can’t avoid the tax man – come back to bite us down the road. The problem ... Continue Reading » - Every Picture Tells a Story

I had the opportunity this week to attend the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) convention in Chicago.
