RISC vs. CISC

Reading Time: 4 minutes

Not 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 it’s the portion of the machine that’s visible to the assembly language programmer, the compiler writer, and the application programmer.

Veeam Backup and Pure Storage snapshots integration

Reading Time: 4 minutes

Pure Storage has been working with Veeam since 2017 to provide storage snapshot integration
leveraging Veeam’s Universal Storage Application Programming Interface (USAPI).

With the release of Veeam Data Platform and Veeam Backup & Replication v12, Veeam has
advanced the functionality of this API with USAPI v2. USAPI v2 includes the orchestration
of replicated snapshots and the ability to offload/archive storage snapshots in their native
snapshot format to secondary storage for longer term retention. Pure Storage has been
Veeam’s development partner through the USAPI v2 development effort and is the first storage
vendor with a software plugin able to take advantage of this new USAPI v2 functionality.

Reading Time: 2 minutes

One requirement for using CDP replication with Veeam product is Installing I/O Filter on each cluster where the VMs that you plan to protect reside and where replicas will reside (on each ESXi host of the cluster).

The CDP I/O Filter are basically a VAIO plugin added using a VIB package.

To install the filter on a specific cluster using the Veeam Console just open the Inventory view.

In the inventory pane, navigate to the Virtual Infrastructure > VMware vSphere > vCenter Servers > <vCenter Server Name> > <Cluster Name> node and right-click it. In the menu, select Install I/O filter. For more information see the Veeam documentation.

But sometimes the VIB is not installed automatically, so you can try to install it manually.
