Reading Time: 2 minutesSome years ago, I’ve published a post about the Hyperconverged infrastructure market share (2018)… but what about now? How HCI has grow? HCI has become a hot topic with several vendors that aim to be a leader in this area, or with several “magic quadrants” that try to define who is in.
Reading Time: 3 minutesPiù di dieci anni fa avevo scritto un posto su come sia meglio evitare i dischi dinamici di Windows (specialmente Windows Server)… ma a quanto pare c’è ancora chi si ostina ad usarli pensado siano utili e non pensado alle conseguenze. Microsoft Windows Dynamic Disks (chiamati anche Dynamic Volumes) sono un livello di astrazione (introdotto in Windows 2000) sulle partizioni (simile a LVM in ambiente Linux/Unix) per disaccoppiare i volumi (con i relativi dati NTFS) dalle partizioni del disco e avere un maggiore flessibilità, come l’estensione a caldo di un volume semplicemente aggiungendo nuove partizioni […]
Reading Time: 4 minutesNot all the different CPUs are the same: they may have a different Instruction Set Architecture (ISA). An Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) is part of the abstract model of a computer that defines how the CPU is controlled by the software. The ISA acts as an interface between the hardware and the software, specifying both what the processor is capable of doing as well as how it gets done. The ISA provides the only way through which a user is able to interact with the hardware. It can be viewed as a programmer’s manual because […]
Reading Time: 4 minutesEvolution of the security landscape The digital security landscape has changed faster in the last years and more in the last months with the COVID-19 pandemic. People are working more and more from home with smart working, but not all companies are prepared to secure those access and their digital workspace. The consequence is that there are more attack and threads the are focused on people instead of corporate services or infrastructures. But also, the rising of the cloud services model makes the attack easier and more effective… You can buy them as a service… […]
Reading Time: 4 minutesOne important concept of virtual networking is that the virtual network adapter (vNIC) speed it’s just a “soft” limit used to provide a common model comparable with the physical world. The real limit depends by several aspects, included the hpyervisor, the CPU speed, the available RAM and (for external comunication) also by the physical NIC speed. For this reason, the Intel e1000 and e1000e vNIC can reach a real bandwidth bigger than the canonical 1 Gpbs link speed. But what about the vmxnet3 vNIC that can advertise also the 10 Gpbs link speed. What is […]
Reading Time: 9 minutesAmong the recent trends and buzzwords, one of the latest concepts is the idea of composable infrastructures. But, the question is what does it really stand for: just another fancy word (because the cloud has been used far too often), HCI 2.0, Blade 2.0, or something more? In a recent article for the StarWind blog, I’m going to take a closer look at composable infrastructures to understand why they are such a hot topic.
