My 2009 edition Mac Pro is really starting to feel long in the tooth. Not slow, just not as perky as she was when I bought it. Intel Xeon 5520s were great when released but the time has come to upgrade to the current generation. Yeah, I like having 8 cores, 12-48 GiB of RAM, and something I can put […]

Is it easy to manage? Can I expect someone else to manage this? Does it fit with my long-term goals? Can it scale with my needs? Is there anybody out there?
So here I am in my office at ipHouse finishing up the last runs of benchmarking reviewing my posts I have already done for Tegile’s Zebi and Tintri T540 appliances. I still need to finish one for Nexsan but won’t have time until later this weekend to complete it.
As I am getting closer to posting the actual results I wanted to share the storage and testing configurations now instead of including all of this in the results posting.
Here is the second installment of my series of posts dealing with storage that I am evaluating at ipHouse for our virtualization products.
I have been a busy boy the past couple of weeks.
Final stages of storage evaluation for our VMware vSphere network.
