Design a ROBO infrastructure (Part 4)

30 Aprile 2017
Comments off

Reading Time: 14 minutesThis is the fourth part of a set of posts realized for StarWind blog and focused on the design and implementation of a ROBO infrastructure. See also the original post. Design a ROBO infrastructure. Part 4: HCI solutions 2-nodes hyperconverged solution As written in the previous post, for ROBO scenario the most interesting HCI (Hyper-Converged Infrastructure) configuration is a two nodes configuration, considering that two nodes could be enough to run dozen VMs (or also more). For this reason, not all hyperconverged solutions could be suitable for this case (for example Nutanix or Simplivity need at least 3 […]

No comments

Reading Time: 3 minutesThe new VMware Virtual SAN (or vSAN) 6.6 adds several enchaments and new features as described in the announce notes. Most of those aspects are related to data and cluster resiliency (as expected by a storage solution), including:

Reading Time: 2 minutesPast week Cohesity has announced the new release of its product and platform: Cohesity DataPlatform 4.0 and Cohesity DataProtect 4.0 expand Cohesity’s capabilities far beyond backup to bring together even more data formats and infrastructures, including object storage and network-attached storage (NAS), onto its hyperconverged platform. In less than two years Cohesity has announced the v1, the v2, the v3 and now the v4 of Cohesity Data Platform, a product designed to consolidate all secondary storage use cases on a unified environment that helps organizations control growing data demands.

Bye bye VMware VDP

Reading Time: 2 minutesIn molti conoscono VMware vSphere Data Protection (VDP), ma in pochi lo usano veramente, benché sia incluso in tutte le edizioni di vSphere a partire dalla Essential Plus in su. Per un certo periodo esisteva persino una versione advantage a pagamento (VDPA) che pure le non ha avuto successo e da vSphere 6.0 ha rimpiazzato la versione base. Da lì il progressivo tramonto di un programma che non è mai sbocciato veramente, con troppi problemi di stabilità e con un approccio, dal mio punto di vista, non corretto al tema del backup (usare dei datastore per […]

How a VM is really isolated

Reading Time: 5 minutesRecent VMware security bug (VMSA-2017-0006) is related to one of the worst possible security issue in a virtualization environment: a possible “guest escape” vulnerability that allows arbitrary code execution on a host system from the guest system. It’s not the first time of a similar risk (see, for example, Microsoft Edge used to escape VMware Workstation at Pwn2Own 2017) but this kind of issue is a different risk level if it affect Worksation (so “just” a client environment) or a ESXi (potentially a datacenter environment).

Reading Time: < 1 minuteSeagate Kinetic Storage Platform is a new object-based hard disk drives from Seagate to be (maybe) an evolution of hard disk. The idea was that the drives didn’t use traditional storage protocols like SAS and SATA, but instead stored objects written and retrieved over Ethernet in a much more scalable way.

Reading Time: 14 minutesQuesto è il terzo articolo di una serie realizzata per StarWind blog sul tema del design, pianificazione ed implementazione di un’infrastruttura per uno scenario ROBO. L’articolo originale (in inglese) è disponibile a questo link. Progettare l’infrastruttura per un ufficio remoto Come descritto, la pianificazione di uno scenario ROBO richiede un progetto in grado di soddisfare le richieste del cliente, in base al tipo di workload. Inoltre deve sia soddisfare requisiti tecnologici (scalabilità, disponibilità, gestibilità, …) ma che sia anche in grado di tenere conto dei possibili rischi.
