Back From the Pile: Interesting Links, February 4, 2011

February 7, 2011 By Stephen 1 Comment

I spent last week tying up loose ends before Tech Field Day 5 in San Jose. It’s going to be a great event, with presentations by Symantec, Drobo, Xangati, NetEx, InfoBlox, HP, and a new company making their US launch! In the mean time, I am working hard to wrap up the Small Enterprise Storage Array Buyers’ Guide for DCIG and continuing my regular work – spreading the word about state of the art IT! I’ve been researching VMware extensively, and building a home lab server, in preparation for my Storage for Virtual Servers seminar, too.

  • My writing
    • First up, a battery charger? La Crosse BC-700 Review: A Battery Charger That Does Not Suck
    • I urge you to See W. Curtis Preston’s Backup Central Live!
    • I was looking for The Best Network Card For VMware ESX Home Lab Machines
    • From my Network Computing blog: Unified Storage: What Is It Good For?
    • I was amazed to see the result of my HP Photosmart printer series: The Power of Negative Publicity
  • Other great links
    • Chris Evans wrote a solid piece for Datamation: Virtualization and Storage: Overview, Vendor Solutions
    • Matt Simmons talks about dealing with storage: I’m here to shard data and chew bubblegum…
    • Alex Popescu’s 5 Approaches to Scalable Storage Solutions led to Jeff Darcy’s Introduction to Distributed Filesystems
    • Xangati talks Field Day: Running Comprehensive and Deep at Tech Field Day #5
    • And then there’s Wireless Field Day, courtesy of Andrew von Nagy: Shamrockin’ the Wireless Industry
    • Greg Ferro continues spreading the word on FCoTR: Presenting Silvano Gai With FCoTR Button
    • Howard Marks takes up the topic of specialized hard disk drives: Yes, Virginia, RAID Drives Are Different
    • Howard was spurred by Simon Gallagher, among others: Home Labbers beware of using Western Digital SATA HDDs with a RAID Controller
    • The continuing saga of Google Chrome and H.264 takes a weird turn: Microsoft adds H.264 support to Google Chrome
    • Simon Long fights the good fight, presenting solid technical info: VMware View Desktops: IDE or SCSI? BusLogic, LSI Logic or PVSCSI?
    • A key topic in storage is the balance between performance and capacity, as noted by Xiotech: Performance and Capacity Tradeoffs and the Rise of a New Class of Storage
    • An amusing infographic: The United States of Shame (CHART)
    • Kevin Houston takes on Cisco UCS: What Cisco Has to Do to Win the Blade Server Market
    • Finally, Jeremy Gaddis is back with Bypassing the Internet Kill Switch
