The Cloud Storage Argument

By Joe Onisick (@JoeOnisick) on May 19, 2010

The argument over the right type of storage for data center applications is an ongoing battle. This argument gets amplified when discussing cloud architectures both private and public. Part of the reason for this disparity in thinking is that there is no â€˜one size fits all solution.â€™ The other part of the problem is that […]

FCoE initialization Protocol (FIP) Deep Dive

By Joe Onisick (@JoeOnisick) on May 15, 2010

In an attempt to clarify my future posts I will begin categorizing a bit. The following post will be part of a Technical Deep Dive series. Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) is a protocol designed to move native Fibre Channel over 10 Gigabit Ethernet and above links, Iâ€™ve described the protocol in a previous post […]

The Organizational Challenge

By Joe Onisick (@JoeOnisick) on April 30, 2010

Technology refreshes seem daunting but changing organizational structure and internal auditing/change management can make rip-and-replace seem like childâ€™s play. In this post Iâ€™ll discuss some ways in which to simplify the migration into cloud (thereâ€™s a […]

Objectivity

By Joe Onisick (@JoeOnisick) on April 26, 2010

I came across a blog recently that peaked my interest.Â The post was from Nate at TechOpsGuys (http://bit.ly/9PxZQV) and it purports to explain the networking deficiencies of UCS.Â The problem with the posts explanation is that itâ€™s based off of The Tolly Report on HP vs. UCS (http://bit.ly/bRQW2g) which has been shown to be a […]
