Nuclear subs seek virtual SAN, says VMware

Have you guys never seen the film Battleships?!? That's how you shoot torpedoes and ballistic missiles!! =P

On another note... it's vSAN..... little "v"....!!

Could YOU identify these 10 cool vintage mobile phones?

is it sad that I owned 8 out of the 10 phones?!?

Only one I couldn't place was the Sendo.....

VMware: Yep, ESXi bug plays 'finders keepers' with data backups

disable then re-enable CBT

..... but will disabling and re-enabling CBT fix the erroneous info on disk sectors? Would it not just re-corrupt whenever a block is changed and CBT logs it?

I guess the only way to be sure is to do a Full backup everyday..... I'd hate to be the admin running fulls on 128GB VMs......

Behold: Ten storage chieftains whose products hold humanity's data

Surprised HP are on here given how badly they've let their StorageWork division decline..... for years (until they acquired 3PAR) they didn't do anything with their EVA products..... I remember when they use to sell tons of these arrays!

Not really surprised with the likes of Amazon/Facebook/Dropbox.... cloud storage/computing is taking off.....

Although shouldn't Google be on here too? Aren't they a pioneer of non-vendor specific hardware like Facebook?

As for NetApp & IBM.... NetApp have stopped innovating over the past few years (IMO), but IBM have launched their v7000 to much praise (although I've not had much experience with it).

No surprised that EMC are No. 1........ they have the best record for acquiring companies and turning them into market leaders!

One other company to throw into the mix - Samsung....... Aren't they market leaders in flash memory and one of the main manufacturers of SDRAM? I thought I read on the Reg that they are looking at entering the PCIe flash storage market?
