    Wizardry Online by SOE

    Business decision, High-end NAS or SAN

    I will agree with some of the people above. For what you are looking to do an Equalogic would be the way to go imo. Especially if you have 10Gbe available. I would not use a NAS unless you can get to a much higher level than what you are currently looking at. From what I can gather you have no...

    Google Faked Some Of Its Data Center Images?

    While the picture is fake. This isnt a colo facility and with that density they would definitely be orientated the way in the picture for hot isle containment. If they were in a row with the backs facing the front of the next row you would have a lot of hot air blowing in the fronts of the row...

    My 7yr Old Wants a Penguin Game for Xmas...?

    Club Penguin is an online game where they care for their penguin and get it a house and clothes and stuff. My kids played it for a long time. The thing I likes is there is not typing text to communicate with other penguins. You can only use the pre-programmed sayings to communicate so the...

    VMware Kills vRAM Memory Tax with vSphere 5.1

    This move actually surprised me. As CPU performance has grown substantially and ram prices have hit all time lows they were/are losing licensing money on people building large "big iron" hosts. VMware has always been proud of their product (and rightfully so) but the vRam was a way they sought...

    Best Buy Names New CEO

    +1 for an IKEA store in KC. Microcenter and Fry's would only be interested in a very small portion of what Best Buy has to offer and it doesnt seem like their business model has any interest in the other 75% of what BB has to offer. That said I wouldnt lose sleep if they bought them out and...

    Games that can never be made again because of difficulty

    Yes there were those extreme people. While more common then todays MMO people they were still few and far between. They were also complete idiots. Everyone knew that the boat ride through OOT was made so you could take a crap

    Games that can never be made again because of difficulty

    NES - Dont forget Top Gun. Landing that stupid plane never made sense. You looked like you were lined up and you followed the directions but sometimes it still just crashed you.

    Games that can never be made again because of difficulty

    I will agree on EQ but with some added points. EQ could be as hard as you made it. There were other games with XP loss on death and long runs but no game that I have played since has the same raid mechanics and strategies at the high end with no clues or ideas how to figure them out other then...

    Heads Up - Everquest going F2P in March

    I played for a long time and the question I have would it be possible to even catch up at this point. How could you possibly get the amount of AA people have and be competitive. I played on the Luclin server from about 99-2006 and tried again for a bit with a mercenary. Even with a Merc you...

    Datacenter Upgrade

    I just went through a very similar exercise. We went a different route. We went with Brocade MLXe 1600 and VDX 6760's in a redundant setup with Dell M1000e chasis and M710hd's with the Brocade CNAs and a NetApp v3240. It was a very hard decision between this and the Cisco solution, but in...

    Google fiber city announced: Kansas City, KS

    I grew up in KCK and now live in a suburb a few miles out across county lines. That said I cant fathom the reason they picked this city for this. I can't imagine the demographic majority from this area matched the demographics on someone who would benefit or understand the impact of this...

    Upgrade journey to vSphere

    What are you upgrading your passthroughs to? I am guessing you are talking about the 16port PS in the back of the chassis. We currently run the 10GB passthroughs and the only issue we have had so far is a compatibility issue with the Brocade CNA's that is being resolved by Dell right now

    IBM bladecenter - chassis licenses?

    While I am not familiar with IBM Blade Center I am familiar with the other vendors blade platforms and they dont require licensing for adding hardware to the chassis. The only licensing I could see besides possibly network (maybe not even that) is with the managing or provisioning software but...

    The absolute cheapest SAN solution possible

    I would suggest getting a cheap DAS or Cheap used server with a bunch of local storage and putting Openfiler on it. Built in ISCSI initiator and add a fiber card if needed.

    Alternate DNS server option for a worksation that has static ip address assigned

    That will not work. Your router needs to be your gateway but it doesnt have DNS running on it. Your gateway/router is where the computers look to get a path out to the outside world but it doesn't resolve the name "www.whatever.com or mail.internal.etc" to an IP address

    Alternate DNS server option for a worksation that has static ip address assigned

    If I understand correctly what you are asking then the "Obtain DNS server address automatically" would only give the DNS you have defined in your DHCP scopes. If you want the workstations to be able to get to the internet when your "server" is down you need to define a outside DNS server as...

    Anyone Clustering Hyper-V R2?

    Well if you are in a large Enterprise which is where I said Vmware is far beyond the technology of Hyper-V and you are going to base your whole virtual infrastructure on the fact that it is free then you have problems that no debate here is going to solve. Hyper V has no answer to Distributed...
