However, for a long time we had CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol) in the vSwitches, but as the name implies is a Cisco proprietary method. If running Cisco devices this is no problem, but for example HP Procurve has no full support for CDP. This means that they cannot send any CDP data, but is actually... [Lire la suite]

y now, many of you have seen the articles that discussed Address Book Policies, hosting changes, and the Hybrid Configuration Wizard, but deep down I know you all have been hoping that we would discuss the most sought after feature that we decided to include in Exchange 2010 SP2. What’s that you say?  Yes, I know, Tony said that the “new features in SP2 are unlikely to cause much of a fuss” and that there are not that many new features in SP2 (I believe his exact words were “relative paucity”) in his SP2...

Ca fait plus de 4 mois que vSphere 5 est sorti et même si la sta­bi­lité de cette pla­te­forme n'est plus à démon­trer, il est tou­jours bon de jeter un coup d’œil du coté des KB avant son ins­tal­la­tion ou son upgrade.

--> A titre professionel je peux vous garantir la véracité de cette information, mêmes les serveurs et les baies sont impactés!   Il y a quelques semaines, la Thaïlande était touchée par un évènement climatique très violent ayant entrainé un presque arrêt de la production des disques durs. Depuis, la demande, toujours colossale sur ce type de produits, n'a pas cessé pour autant, largement supérieure à ce que WD et Seagate pouvaient offrir. Les prévisions alors étaient assez mauvaises puisqu'on parlait de la mi 2012 pour... [Lire la suite]
