Monitoring of virtual servers. IPv6 support. As devices are discovered, probes will also detect the services and hardware it can monitor. Reducing the costs by buying only the hardware you need. Bandwidth monitoring using SNMP, WMI, NetFlow, sFlow, jFlow, packet sniffing. Application monitoring. Web monitoring.

This is a liveblog of the OpenStack Summit Sydney session titled “IPv6 Primer for Deployments”, led by Trent Lloyd from Canonical. IPv6 is a topic with which I know I need to get more familiar, so attending this session seemed like a reasonable approach. IPv6 also has some special addresses. x 10 to the 38th power).

Welcome to Technology Short Take #51, another collection of posts and links about key data center technologies like networking, virtualization, cloud management, and applications/operating systems. I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned Open Virtual Network (OVN) here before, as I’m pretty jazzed about the work going on with this project.

Maybe next time! It’s worth a read if these two technologies fall into your wheelhouse. There are some good tips in here.

I'm wondering if it could be an adapter (hardware) issue. Installation of the DHCP role is straightforward enough until the question of IPv6 is raised. After the install, the server keeps warnin me to set a static IPv6 address on the server in order to be able to manage an IPv6 scope in DHCP. Virtualization.
