    vSphere 4.1 HCL + SuperMicro

    I'm generally a whitebox server sort of guy. I'm in a bit of a quandary I was wondering if anyone could help me decipher. I was putting together a box via Silicon Mechanics, they list it under their "Virtualization Servers", so naturally I assumed it was on the HCL. Turns out the board in...

    Panduit "toolless" cat6 keystone jacks?

    Panduit's site is freaking horrible. I can find some of their cat6 keystone jacks, but they aren't the "toolless" variety. They say they are the punchdown type. Am I missing something? Can anyone direct me to the proper Category 6 keystones from Panduit or make another recommendation for...

    X3440 crunching power

    I've got an old dual Opteron 875 systems that's getting long in tooth. Was thinking of putting together a little 1U X3440 system to replace it. However, obviously I want to step up in computational power. Can anyone provide thoughts on this? I can't find a benchmark between the two...

    PCIe bracket for BR10i?

    Monitoring MegaRAID card through MSM.. via ESXi?

    Anyone had luck with this? With 4.0 I was able to do this by connecting to the CIM provider on my ESXi host, however with 4.1 I cannot. I've asked on serverfault.com, vmware.com.. nobody seems to know and responders have all said the same thing: "I can't get it to work either" This sucks, the...

    What makes Areca cards so popular here?

    I've never used an Areca card so I've got no opinion good/bad about them. I see a LOT of folks here using them and I wanted to know what makes them stand out from LSI or Adaptec (now that Adaptec is owned by PMC/Sierra who knows anyway)? They seem very expensive in comparison to something...

    Links do not direct to thread/forum?

    Say for instance someone posts a link to this: http://hardforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=29 http://hardforum.com/?f=29 When I click it the url turns to: http://hardforum.com?f=29 which just shows the Optical drive subforum. It does not show the threads within that forum. Same goes for...
