MooseFS distribuited storage

21 September 2024
No comments

Reading Time: 3 minutesDuring the last IT Press Tour #57, I’ve got the opportunity to learn about a new (for me) company: MooseFS presented by Jakub Ratajczak (CEO and Co-founder) and Piotr Konopelko (Senior Manger). The company is private-owned and has base in Warsaw, Poland, EU. MooseFS is a fault-tolerant, highly available, highly performing, scaling-out, network distributed file system. It spreads data over several physical commodity servers, which are visible to the user as one virtual disk. His architecture is quite different from “traditiona” NAS or SAN storage.

Upgrade the embedded PostgreSQL in Veeam Backup 12.2

14 September 2024
No comments

Reading Time: 4 minutesAs I mentioned in the Veeam Backup & Replication 12.2 upgrade notes article, a Veeam Backup upgrade does NOT upgrade the embedded database (if you are using the embedded database deployment). If you want to upgrade also the embedded database server part, you need to do it manually! Starting with Backup & Replication v12, the default embedded database is PostgreSQL.

Veeam products lifecycle (September 2024)

Reading Time: 3 minutesVeeam Product Lifecycle is a little different compared to other vendors. When a new major version came out in General Availability (GA) the previous version reach the End of Fix status. Only the End of Support deadline is pre-defined and documented when a product will be released. This, of course, push the upgrade phase to be as faster as possible to still have hotfixes and patches.

Reading Time: 2 minutesVMware vSphere 8.0.3 introduces several new features and also a new snapshot management. One of the issues of VM snapshots is that people forget to delete them: according to VMware snapshot management recommended practices you shoul NOT keep snapshots for more than 3 days (I suggest to don’t keep them for more than one day, because usually you have backups as other possible restore points).

What’s happened at VMware Explore 2024 Las Vegas?

31 August 2024

Reading Time: 2 minutesVMware Explore 2024 Las Vegas has just finished, but what’s news? Let’s start from some obvius things… first more Broadcom (and less VMware maybe) as you can see from the titles of the different press relases. And seems less attendees (5000 was an un-official number, that seems very low compared to other edition of this event when was still called VMworld).

Events, VMware
