Reading Time: 2 minutes In some previous posts I’ve described the Dell KACE product family, included the Dell KACE – K1000 and KACE – K2000 products.

For example budget, but also the IT staff and skills. Evolution: and SMB may have big trend in evolution (or involution). Note that also in SMB, disaster recovery, business continuity, availability and security aspects have still to be considered. This kind of […]
Reading Time: 5 minutes VSA (VMware vSphere/Virtual Storage Appliance) is a solution, introduced in version 1.0 with vSphere 5.0, to transform local storage in shared storage. Basically a VA on each node use a local datastore to export it via NFS. But most important is also make a replication to another node. I’ve already talk about it in a VCP exam objective (VSA 1.0 questions are part of VCP5 exam), but honestly the VSA 1.0 had several disadvantages: Cost: from my point of was too high (expecially for the position of this kind of solution). Disks usage: is first […]
