In molti esperti ed analisti vedono nell’object storage il futuro di questo mondo, a scapito degli storage tradizionali. In realtà bisognerebbe contestualizzazione le varie analisi, ma è un dato di fatto che l’interesse verso queste soluzioni è in forte crescita, anche in Italia, se non altro perché la mole di dati da gestire cresce sempre di più.

Soprattutto per realtà come i service e cloud provider, dove soluzioni tradizionali di storage potrebbero faticare a scalare o dove il costo per TB può essere un fattore determinante.

ReeVo Cloud, un service provider italiano specializzato nel cloud computing, ha scelto Cloudian HyperStore per offrire una gamma in espansione di servizi cloud: infrastructure-as-a-service, storage-as-a-service, backup-as-a-service, disaster recovery e servizi di continuità del business.

“Jumbo” disk in VMware ESXi

13 Febbraio 2017

Reading Time: 3 minutes

In VMware vSphere uno dei limiti storici è stato (per tanti anni) quello della dimensione di un singolo disco virtuale VMDK che non poteva eccedere i 2 TB circa (per la precisione i 2 TB – 512 B). In realtà la vera dimensione “usabile” era persino meno, per poter permettere la creazione di snapshot e dipendeva dalla dimensione del blocco (importante in VMFS3 o in VMFS5 se aggiornato dalla 3). Per maggiori informazioni si rimanda all’articolo Veeam KB 1091.

A partire da vSphere 5.5 è stato finalmente possibile avere dischi virtuali grandi fino a 62 TB (che chiamerò impropriamente “jumbo” disk) senza ricorrere ad antipatici trucchi come i physical RDM. Ma ancora con tanti limiti come descritti dalla VMware KB 2058287 (Support for virtual machine disks larger than 2 TB in VMware ESXi 5.5.x and 6.0.x):
