So, I’ve had this Prius since 2006 (I held off until that point for the Tax deduction)
But I thought I’d finally publish my photos especially since I finally got around to getting my pkguild plate within the last year or so.
So if you happen to see me on the road, say hi!
Like my shiny NetApp plate cover? :)
I’ve posted about some NetApp blogs before – Wait, I’m doing it again!
While there are the best of breed blogs which you can easily find here:
There are also some additional ones in our Communities.
So, I encourage you to check out the Community Blogs as well as the community as a whole. It’s a great resource to ask questions, answer questions and find out all-round general incite into what is going on here, there, and everywhere!
Oh, and don’t forget about that Accelerate conference! :)
Registration is key!

So, I mentioned before that SNMPv3 is supported. But what does this really mean, and how does this help me?
Here in the release notes we cite "SNMPv3 supported"
Configuring DFM has never been so easily as documented in the Operations Guide.
The best part being, you can do an all-inclusive or individual selection of who you’ll be monitoring via SNMPv3. (In my environment for testing, I have some filers not running 7.3, so I have those configured via SNMPv2 and the rest of my 7.3’s with SNMPv3) Works like a champ!
There are a number of reasons to upgrade to 7.3, and for those security conscious folks, this is just another one!
Wow, it’s almost here! This should be cool.
NetApp Accelerate is happening February 23 – 26, 2009, at Moscone West in San Francisco, California. Participating in this educational forum will give you the tricks and techniques you can put to use immediately to address your data management concerns and challenges. Join us and learn how to make the most of your storage and data management infrastructure using the power and innovation of NetApp solutions.
The breakout sessions should be amazing!
Backup and Recovery
Compliance and Security
Data Center Infrastructure
Ethernet and Fibre Channel SAN
File Services
Storage Systems and Data ONTAP
Engineering Applications and High Performance Computing (HPC)
Enterprise Applications
Manageability
Server and Desktop Virtualization
I plan to be there if I can attend (present). :)
(edit) Oh yea – and Bare Naked Ladies will be playing at Accelerate!
So, today I read this Whitepaper published in May of this year – omg! Cool is what I say!
Discounting factors aside (And it makes for a great read) the excellent XenApp Citrix’s replacement for Presentation Server steps into the Virtualization Space on fire!
While physical does get some presentation value, the fact that the Virtual instance running on XenServer vs a Physical is able to perform with an 8% penalty is amazing.
Citrix has been a player in this space (Well, really the only player) who is able to produce clear, consistent and reliable results. And this just takes the cake to a new level.
I encourage anyone interested in Application, Presentation and OS Virtualization to this out.
Optimizing XenApp Performance with XenServer 4.1.0 Enterprise Edition
For a Whitepaper, it is a good, short and non-boring read.
This is only the beginning of a whole new Citrix and XenServer revolution, especially with their NetApp Integration, Partnership and NetApp Adapter
The heat is on – oh uh oh oh! :)
