Since pictures say more than words I didn't want to hold back this picture from you guys just to show that we are all work and no play: So, once we pulled Greg Knieriemen off of the sign, we went inside and entered a meeting room where we had...

Sure thing you want to do that! And you ask your vendor "What can I do?". One of the replies could to use access control lists or ACL's. And all is great. Or is it? From what I have heard, very few EMC customers in Europe tend to use ACL's on their Symmetrixes. Perhaps even for a good...

I couldn't help but noticing the following quote:According to a recent survey by Applied Research, more than half of all organizations expect to spend more on storage in 2009 than they did in 2008. But at the same time, the latest Symantec State of the Data Center...

He probably didn't realize back then what an impact his new product would have later on. You can find the SASI, or SCSI as it is now called, standard in a lot of hardware that is being produced in the storage...

We have well over 1000 hosts connected to our SAN and use storage from different vendors. Now, You have your everyday problems when your environment is big. Some problems are smaller, some are bigger, it comes with the territory. But sometimes you just run in to things that will make you think "uhuh, you...

I was talking to a colleague of mine yesterday, and we got caught on the topic of storage and it's current importance. We both agreed that given the past and currently growing topics, storage and storage management is probably one of the areas that will see significant growth in the near future. An example could be the recent bidding war between EMC...

But on Saturday I will be flying from FRA (Frankfurt, Germany) to ORL (Orlando, USA) to attend EMC World. Preparing is always good fun. With such a location the first thing that comes to mind is visiting a tanning parlor so the solar rays don't scorch me. On second thought that's probably not really that useful since we will be cooped up inside the OCCC. I had to check my passport...

To start my first post I need to get something off my chest. Anyone who has been involved with SAN has probably noticed the launch of the new Virtual Matrix Architecture (or in short V-Max) by EMC last Tuesday. I am still busy trying to gather all of the information and filling in the blanks that still exist for me. Anyway, all in all to me the solution so far looks pretty...
