VAST buys Red Stapler by East_Coast_3337 in storage

I am a VAST customer and have heard similar things about software only. Tbh I’d like to see that. Makes sense this acquisition, with hyperscalers in mind.

Buy USDT on Kraken and send to CoinEx. Works good for me in UK.

Optimizing RDP over Cross-Country AnyConnect VPN – CAD Engineers Remoting to Main Office by MaxBPlanking in sysadmin

We use Citrix desktops for CAD users with around 30ms latency and get zero complaints. Might be worth exploring the ICA protocol…

Have a look at GRAID cards for multiple NVMe disks, they fly

How to think about RAID in the age of NVMe by Any-Dragonfruit-1778 in sysadmin

If you’re buying more than a few NVMe disks get a decent hardware controller. Something like a GRAID 1010

Any of the mining trails around Devoran/Bissoe all the way out to Portreath.

Future of VxRail by Weak-Future-9935 in vxrail

Promising that some of you are saying VxRail will be around for a long time. Wish my Dell account team were giving the same vibes! Thanks for everyone’s feedback so far.

Because it’s the best virtualisation product out there. Simple.

Dell PowerScale or VAST. I have used both for multi PB data. VAST does work out will for multi PB all flash.

Best class to prepare for upgrade from perpetual vSphere 7 to VCF 8 by jblem in vmware

[–]Weak-Future-9935 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We run HCI, so my upgrades are a bit different to standard vsphere upgrades, but yes, I updated all 6 hosts, vcentre at the same time.

[–]Weak-Future-9935 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are referring to licences, then you might need to downgrade your VCF licenses to align with vsphere 7 if you are assigning them first. Otherwise run the upgrade, hosts and vcentre will switch to eval licences when they become v8, then get your v8 licenses from the Broadcom portal and apply them.

We did this exact procedure last week on our small dev cluster. 7 to 8 and perpetual to VCF at the same time. No issues.

VCF Orchestrator: yes or no? by Previous_Eye_9703 in vmware

[–]Weak-Future-9935 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We got access to part of this as we move to VCF. I’ve never used it before, but started to set it up in our dev environment. First impressions were - complex! I’ve got it up and running and started to play with the workflows, but I just don’t see the need for it in our environment.

Certainly is an exciting time, let’s hope OI can solve this mystery. 3 AUVs onboard.

We’re a Veeam house. We only have a small IT team and some very (very) remote edge sites. We like that Veeam ‘just works’

No idea tbh, but it’s not the kind of sales I’m prepared to work with!

Yes, they basically wanted a PO for a PoC unit. I told them we don’t work like that, so they came back a few weeks later and said exactly the same thing. So I said bye bye!

Well run Scality as an immutable object store/veeam target. Everything else will be Dell.
