    VMWare Performance Issues

    Hey guys, Thank you so much for all your posts. Things are looking better at the moment since I moved a few servers onto another iscsi target. Could IO have been the issue all along? Previously all cores within the VM would hit 100% but now it looks as if only one or two will peak when the...

    VMWare Performance Issues

    Host Name Nomenclature! & Chemistry

    In our own office we use things from The Simpsons with servers being named after characters (bart, carl etc) and vmware servers named after towns (springfield, ogdenville etc). We use sensible names for all customers though that relate to location and server use.

    Wireless setup for 100+ users

    Thanks for your help guys! Do you think HP would be the best way to go with a low budget? How much of a range do these puppies give out?

    Wireless setup for 100+ users

    I am looking for hardware for a big wireless deployment for around 100 concurrent users who will be doing light surfing on mobile devices, think tweeting etc. We will need quite a few APs deployed to cover the area but we are not sure of what kind of models we should be looking at. Will we...

    Centrally-Managed Drive Encryption

    How do these products work without the boot loaders? I have used PGP Universal for something that is managed centrally for around 100 machines and would recommend it.
