One cloud computing solution is to deploy the platform as a means for disaster recovery, business continuity, and extending the data center. Whether it is redundant hardware or a private hot-site, keeping an environment up and running 99.99% (insert more 9’s here) of the time is a tough job. Uptime and resiliency.

Sure Virtualization Seems Neat In The Beginning, But…. To read the IT trade journals or speak with CIOs you’d think that we’ve all found the magic silver bullet that IT’s been looking for during the past few years: server virtualization. Virtualization has its own set of problems and we need to have a talk….

The ability to virtualize the network devices such as firewalls, IPS and load balancers also means that these once physical devices that have discrete interfaces can be controlled by software. VMware is of course pushing their virtual SAN solution (vSAN) to provision and control storage.
