Remove ROM To Use LSI SAS Cards in HPE Servers

August 23, 2020 By Stephen Leave a Comment

I have an HPE ML110 Gen10 server. It's an excellent piece of hardware but does not "like" the LSI SAS card I want to use for FreeNAS. Every time it boots, I get a "red screen of death" because the LSI card is trying to load its ROM. Luckily I stumbled on a fix, and thought I would share it here. Wondering where my enterprise IT content went? Head over to Gestalt IT! HPE … [Read more...] about Remove ROM To Use LSI SAS Cards in HPE Servers

Nimble Storage Rolls Out an All-Flash Array

February 24, 2016 By Stephen 1 Comment

As of today, there's one more all-flash storage array on the market: Nimble Storage convened a big San Francisco shindig to roll out their own "AF" array, complete with lots of XtremIO and Pure Storage comparisons. Finally, Nimble no longer has to suffer the competitive digs and nasty rumors about this missing product, but there's a lot more to this launch than an array sans … [Read more...] about Nimble Storage Rolls Out an All-Flash Array

Wherein I Weigh In On Object Storage, SDN, And Commoditization (and Coho Data!)

I was pre-briefed on their product (back when they were known as Convergent.io) and spent some time with … [Read more...] about Wherein I Weigh In On Object Storage, SDN, And Commoditization (and Coho Data!)

VMware’s Hardware Partner Strategy: Heads I Win, Tales You Lose

February 11, 2013 By Stephen 1 Comment

VMware is in an enviable but tricky situation: The company must work closely with hardware partners, keeping these prime sales and promotional channels happy and supportive. But VMware must also innovate around proprietary OEMs, subverting their products with integrated software before a rival steps up with an integrated alternative. This two-prong "coopetition" strategy has … [Read more...] about VMware’s Hardware Partner Strategy: Heads I Win, Tales You Lose

What’s In A Name? And Which Product Is Better?

January 25, 2013 By Stephen 2 Comments

Every day, I'm briefed by another company with a range of products from entry-level to high-end. And every day I try to figure out their naming scheme: It seems most IT vendors follow the naming schemes of car companies, but few use the same naming system! As Micron explained the logic behind their three SSD lines (e, m, and h for entry-level, midrange, and … [Read more...] about What’s In A Name? And Which Product Is Better?
