- Thinking Outside the Box to Protect Your Private Cloud
-
For a CIO and his/her implementation team on the journey to the private cloud, there is nothing more stress relieving (okay, except maybe for a week on a Caribbean island) than being able to meet or even exceed your SLAs without having to do all the heavy IT lifting yourself. No need for you to ... Continue Reading » - Making the Right Backup Choices – Part II

My last post began with my three-year old daughter trying to wear only a t-shirt and underwear to church, as I weighed the risk of excommunication vs. post-mass jelly donuts. Obviously, the story was a thinly veiled parable for Virtual Machine (VM) backup and recovery. In that post, I covered the traditional VM backup mechanisms ...

-
There’s been a lot of talk lately about how Changed Block Tracking (CBT) can improve the efficiency of VMware backup, but what is it all about really? How does CBT differ from deduplication? Are the two technologies complementary? Do I need both? A quick definition… Let’s start with a quick definition. CBT is a new ... Continue Reading » - A Demo Environment Is Worth a Thousand Words

Guest Post by Allan Waters, Senior Product Marketing Manager, EMC NetWorker In a recent post, EMC product marketing manager Caitlin Moore highlighted the important benefits of Data Domain’s integration with EMC Avamar and EMC NetWorker. But if you’re like me words are great, but demos are even better! You see, I’m a numbers kind of ... Continue Reading » - Sifting Through the VMworld Chatter to Find Your Pot of Gold

For those of you who don’t know me and haven’t had a chance yet to skim through the bios on this site, I came to EMC by way of HDS, the Enterprise Strategy Group and InfoStor. And while life on the vendor side (endearingly referred to as the “dark side” by many of my analyst ...

My three- year-old daughter Sophia has difficulty making decisions about what clothes to wear. Sunday morning, before church, she cycled through four fancy dresses in 10 minutes. As we slid from “fashionably late” to “in danger of missing post-mass donuts,” I injected some male leadership. “Pick anything. You’ll look beautiful. We have to go. The ...

Well, I’m just back from VMworld 2011, and I know I can’t stop thinking and talking about all that I heard, saw and experienced in Vegas this week. And I think it would be almost criminal if we – all 19,000+ show attendees – kept all this good stuff to ourselves. (Not that we could ...

At VMworld this week, IT got a good glimpse into the future of VMware and the journey that lies before us as we continue to extend virtualization across our data centers to more servers, more applications and more desktops. And there was lots of discussion (too much to share in any one blog) about what ... Continue Reading » - VMworld Hands-On Labs – The “Geekery” Behind It All

Another day and another VMworld gone by – well, almost. And what a week it’s been. I have the good fortune of spending most (okay, pretty much all) of my time in the Hands-On Labs (HOLs). It’s been quite the experience, to say the least. What we have been able to put together and demonstrate ...

For most of IT, riding technology curves is like jumping on a kid’s trampoline: dangerous, sure, but oh-so exhilarating (note: ignore trampoline manufacturer’s “weight limits” at your own peril). Faster processors, larger disk capacities, flash storage and higher-performance networking enable new applications, drive server and storage virtualization and allow businesses to generate and analyze data ...

Thoughts from Stephen Manley
