Systems management solutions can provide IT organizations with a scalable, cost efficient way to significantly reduce the possibility of a breach, while helping delivering a consistent and secure user environment. Today at the “ Power to Do More: Accelerating Results ” event in San Francisco, Dell Software unveiled new endpoint security enhancements to help IT administrators quickly and flexibly protect data regardless of OS or device, with new

VM Squad posted today about a problem he perceives exists with Dell EqualLogic arrays. Its not a problem, but that's what one of competitors is telling people. The issue is the time it takes to upgrade firmware in our systems, which is 15 seconds in the systems we are selling today. What's interesting is that Derek Schwab posted about the exact same thing yesterday and how it worked so well. So what's up with that?

Breaking the I/O Virtualization Bottleneck

Virtualization has helped improve hardware utilization tremendously, but its full potential has not yet been realized. Virtualization technologies all share and virtualize a single physical port of the network adapter through software for the I/O needs of the virtual machines. All of that software battles to make I/O decisions for the virtual machines, which causes traffic jams, which slow the I/O performance and limit the number of virtual machines a physical server can run. To address this issue...
