It\'s tightly integrated with VMware vSphere and uses patented analytics to provide you with comprehensive and actionable intelligence across the stack. The focus of vCenter Operations is to provide the intelligence and visibility needed to proactively ensure service levels, optimum resource usage and configuration compliance in dynamic virtual and cloud environments. \n\n<strong>Some Key Benefits include:</strong>\n<ul>\n	<li>Actionable intelligence to automate manual operations processes</li>\n	<li>Visibility across infrastructure and applications for rapid problem resolution</li>\n	<li>Proactively ensures optimal resource utilization and virtual and cloud infrastructure performance</li>\n	<li>At a glance view of operational and regulatory compliance across physical and virtual</li>\n</ul>\n<strong>Eliminate Manual Effort for Automated Operations Management</strong>\n\nGain maximum efficiency and agility with analytics and a policy-based approach to automate performance, capacity and configuration management. Eliminate the finger pointing. Reduce manual problem solving efforts by as much as 40% with automated root cause analysis.\n\n<strong>Proactively Manage Virtual Infrastructure Performance</strong>\n\nGet proactive warning of performance issues before problems affect end users. Real-time performance dashboards let you meet SLAs by pinpointing building performance issues before end users notice.\n\n<strong>Ensure Operational and Regulatory Compliance</strong>\n\nManage compliance automatically with a policy-based approach and out-of-the-box configuration templates. Ensure compliance with policy control across both virtual and physical aspects of your datacenter infrastructure.\n\n<strong>Optimal Resource Utilization</strong>\n\nEnsure right-sized virtual/cloud infrastructure through comprehensive capacity management. Users typically achieve 15% to 80% utilization improvements and run 3-5 times more VMs on the same hardware by reclaiming over-provisioned capacity.\n\nFor more information on vCenter Operations, please call <strong>1-877-eGROUP-1</strong> or e-mail us at <a href=\"mailto:insidesales@eGroup-us.com\" target=\"_blank\">insidesales@eGroup-us.com</a>!','','','draft','open','open','','','','','2011-07-21 16:41:33','0000-00-00 00:00:00','',0,'http://blogs.eGroup-us.com/?p=4505',0,'post','',0),(4273,6,'2011-06-08 12:08:08','2011-06-08 17:08:08','','LiveUpdate','','inherit','open','open','','liveupdate','','','2011-06-08 12:08:08','2011-06-08 17:08:08','',4272,'http://egroup-us.levelwing.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/LiveUpdate.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(4559,16,'2011-06-13 10:58:14','2011-06-13 15:58:14','Recently, while deploying a 50 user pilot of XenDesktop 5 and PVS 5.6 we ran into an issue wherein the install was failing with the following error:\n\nException of type System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException caught, error=MODIFY FILE failed. Specified size is less than or equal to current size.\n\nThe cause of this error is the PVS database being larger than 20 MB at the time PVS is installed. In this case it was caused by the MODEL database being configured with a fixed size of 500 MB on the target SQL 2008 R2 Server.\n\nNear the end of the install PVS attempts to \"increase\" the size of the database to 20 MB. I assume this is because it is preparing to insert significant amounts of data (around 20 MB) and proactively increases the database size to avoid the overhead and continually growing the data file. Of course, if they database size is already greater than 20 MB as it was in this case this operation will fail as it is actually attempting to shrink the size of the database.\n\nOur solution was to temporarily reduce the size of the MODEL database while the PVS install was completed. Other workarounds are detailed here in this <a href=\"http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX127403\">KB Article from Citrix.</a>\n\nIt would be a better model for the installer to first check the size of the database and then increase it only if it is not already 20 MB.','PROVISIONING SERVER 5.6 SP1 DATABASE SIZE CAUSES FAILED INSTALL','','publish','open','open','','provisioning-server-5-6-sp1-database-size-causes-failed-install','','','2011-06-13 10:58:14','2011-06-13 15:58:14','',0,'http://blogs.eGroup-us.com/?p=4291',0,'post','',0),(4560,23,'2011-06-15 14:18:01','2011-06-15 19:18:01','If you are running the 64-bit version of Office, then you will most likely see this error when you try to view a list in the Datasheet View...\n\n\"The List Cannot be Displayed in Datasheet view...\"\n\nThis is because SharePoint expects the 32-bit version of the Access ActiveX plugin.

(Check out his keynote from EMC World 2011 <a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ac9jQZi_lz8\">here</a> )\n\nFrom there, many companies move in different directions—and that’s to be expected—but if you’re end goal is to get “to the cloud” where you can truly run “IT as a Service”, then you MUST be able to accurately and, in real time, calculate the costs of operating, provisioning, and otherwise maintaining the virtual infrastructure you and your team worked hard to put in place.\n\nEnter VMware vCenter Chargeback.\n\n<!--more-->\n“What is vCenter Chargeback?”\n\nChargeback is a mechanism to account for the operational costs involved in providing and maintaining an IT infrastructure, including the costs for IT services and applications. Measuring resource utilization and calculating the corresponding IT operational cost enables you to account for the IT resources utilized and bill for the services provided.\n\nNow, will most companies allow their departments to be charged for the IT services they required be provided to operate? I can’t answer that question. But will your CFO appreciate the granularity, report-ability, and hard dollar amounts you can provide to help show where the money in the IT budget goes? Absolutely.\n\nThis is one of those technology solutions I wish we witnessed existing in more environments today, and, of course, something that eGroup can absolutely help you and your organization implement and take advantage of.\n\nRead more at <a href=\"http://www.vmware.com/products/vcenter-chargeback/overview.html\">http://www.vmware.com/products/vcenter-chargeback/overview.html</a>','Why All Cloud-Moving Organizations Should Be Using vCenter Chargeback','','publish','open','open','','why-all-cloud-moving-organizations-should-be-using-vcenter-chargeback','','','2011-06-30 10:03:31','2011-06-30 15:03:31','',0,'http://blogs.eGroup-us.com/?p=4435',0,'post','',0),(4442,26,'2011-06-30 10:30:16','2011-06-30 15:30:16','The recently introduced Isilon S200 system delivers over 1.6 million CIFS IOPS and 1.1 million NFS IOPS with over 85 gigabytes per second of aggregate throughput, all from a single file system.

The real kicker to this issue is that if any storage in the chosen DesktopController host configuration contains a template with a Distributed Switch then the behavior will appear.

The problem is that I have personally seen this work approximately 25% of the time. It is a clunky solution to a known problem.\n\nMy solution was to craft a PowerCLI script to check each VM (based on a particular name format) in a vCenter instance for a particular standard switch (created and named for this particular issue), and change the Network Adapter network to the desired Distributed Switch.\n\nHere is the script:\n\n<a href=\"http://egroup-us.levelwing.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/PSCode_VDS2.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4478\" src=\"http://egroup-us.levelwing.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/PSCode_VDS2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"672\" height=\"151\" /></a>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">This will print out each VirtualMachine name that it discovers based on the search pattern.

Similar to vSphere DRS, this new capability for storage can place andbalance virtual machine data on storage based on space, I/O load, and additional user rules asrequired.\n\n<strong>- Profile-Driven Storage</strong> - Further define service levels for storage by requesting a particular set of characteristics for a virtual machine. vSphere aligns those characteristics with the available storage resources to show users which resource align with the SLA they are trying to achieve.\n\n<strong>- Auto Deploy</strong> - Automate the steps associated with the deployment and patching of vSphere hosts. Delivery vSphere hosts \"on the fly\" using this new intelligent automation feature.\n\n<strong>- Larger or \"Monster VMs\"</strong> - Virtual machines grow 4x in terms of the amount of vCPUs and memory that can be allocated to each VM. A single VM can now use up to 32 vCPUs and up to 1 TB of vRAM.\n\n<strong>- High Availability Enhancements</strong> - A new architecture for this popular vSphere feature delivers better cluster guarantees, a more simplified setup, and additional scalability.\n\n<strong>- Additional Management Enhancements</strong> - vCenter Server is now available as a Linux-based virtual appliance. Users can also manage the critical tasks of vSphere from the new vSphere Web Client interface. These new management options mean more choice and flexibility for the user.\n\n<strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">The vSphere 5.0 licensing model is per processor (CPU) with pooled vRAM entitlements. It offers customers the following benefits relative to the previous vSphere 4.x model:</span></strong>\n\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><span> </span></span><strong></strong>\n\n<strong>- Flexibility - </strong>Extends the concept of resource pooling from technology to the business of IT by allowing aggregation and sharing of vRAM entitlement across a large pool of servers.\n\n<strong>- Fairness -</strong> Better aligns cost with actual use and value derived, rather than with hardware configurations and capacity.\n\n<strong>- Evolution -</strong> Allows customers to evolve to a cloud-like \"pay for consumption\" model without disrupting established purchasing, deployment and license-management practices and processes.\n\n<strong>- Simplicity</strong> - Removes two physical constraints (core and physical RAM), replacing them with a single virtual entitlement (vRAM).

Worker Groups allow you to \"silo\" your XenApp servers based on their purpose, the applications they publish, etc. When publishing an application, you can select individual servers to publish from as you normally would, or you can select from Worker Groups.\n\nThe biggest benefit of Worker Groups is that they can be populated dynamically, allowing simple but rapid scale-out capability.\n\nOnce created, there are 3 ways to add servers into a Worker Group; add the servers manually, set the Worker Group to use an Active Directory Security Group, or by setting the Worker Group to use an Active Directory OU. The latter two are done dynamically, with the method using the OU being my personal favorite.\n\n<!--more-->\n\nThe BEST use of the Worker Group feature is witnessed when paired with Citrix Provisioning Services to deliver XenApp server images-- to physical servers or to virtual machines. The idea here is pretty slick-- you build your \"golden\" image with your desired applications installed and configured, convert the image into a vDisk, and provision away.\n\nAnd because Citrix PVS can be set to join the newly provisioned servers to the domain and into a specific OU in your Active Directory, a Worker Group based on that OU will automatically add the server in.\n\nSo a simple example here would be to build a vDisk image with Microsoft Office installed, and within the Delivery Services Console publish Outlook to the \"Office\" Worker Group, which for the sake of this example we\'ll say uses an OU called \"XenApp Office\".\n\nAs Provisioning Server spits out the new servers joined to the domain and in the XenApp Office OU, they\'re automatically added into the Worker Group. Outlook is immediately published from them, and they\'re added into the farm to be load balanced across as with any other XA server there.\n\nRapid, super-scale capability-- and with PVS, minimal storage footprint. 300 more users coming online Monday morning? No problem, just provision the appropriate number of servers and grab yourself a cup of coffee.','Citrix XenApp 6 - THE VALUE OF WORKER GROUPS','','publish','open','open','','citrix-xenapp-6-the-value-of-worker-groups','','','2011-07-30 08:01:17','2011-07-30 13:01:17','',0,'http://blogs.eGroup-us.com/?p=4523',0,'post','',0),(4609,44,'2011-07-31 06:57:38','2011-07-31 11:57:38','I found during my last code update with a VNX 5300 that after the upgrade to the latest code, all the wizards upper the File System Configuration were grayed out.\n\nTroubleshooting looked like the code upgrade went bad, but in actuality, it was just the user permissions were corrupted on the sysadmin user.

When deduplication is enabled for a consistency group, every new block of data is stored in both the local and the remote RPAs. Each block that arrives at the local RPA is analyzed, and whenever duplicate information is detected, a request is sent to the remote RPA to deliver the data directly to the remote storage, instead of sending the data to the remote site. This “data-learning” technique can eliminate much of the bandwidth traffic, under the right conditions. The effectiveness of the deduplication process depends highly upon the application environment and the repetitiveness of the data. Dynamic data (such as interactive web traffic) will yield a smaller bandwidth reduction ratio, while static data (such as backups) will yield a higher bandwidth reduction ratio. Performance increases in environments with large amounts of duplicate data, and after the local and remote RPAs have had an opportunity to “learn” the data.\r\n\r\nWhen should I use deduplication?\r\n\r\nGenerally speaking, it is worthwhile to enable deduplication when the following conditions are true:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>You have limited bandwidth resources, or would like to save bandwidth.</li>\r\n	<li>Your consistency group contains a remote copy, to which you are replicating asynchronously.</li>\r\n	<li>All of the RPAs in your replication environment are running on a GEN4 or GEN4 FCOE hardware platform.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nNote: If the data that you are replicating is non-repetitive, deduplication may not be effective.\r\n\r\nWhat do I need to know before enabling deduplication?\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Deduplication is only relevant for remote replication.</li>\r\n	<li>Deduplication is only relevant for asynchronous replication.</li>\r\n	<li>Deduplication is only supported in RecoverPoint environments in which all RPAs (of both the remote and local RPA clusters) are RPAs running on the GEN4 or GEN4 FCOE hardware platforms.</li>\r\n	<li>If an RPA running on a hardware platform other than GEN4 or GEN4 FCOE is added to a RecoverPoint cluster while deduplication is enabled, the deduplication process will fail and no warning will be issued to the user.</li>\r\n	<li>Both the enabling and disabling of deduplication causes a short pause in transfer and a short initialization.</li>\r\n	<li>Compression must be enabled before deduplication can be enabled.</li>\r\n	<li>Your RecoverPoint license must support compression, to support deduplication.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n&nbsp;','EMC RELEASES RECOVERPOINT 3.4.SP1.P1_K.140 WITH DEDUPLICATION SUPPORT','','publish','open','open','','emc-releases-recoverpoint-3-4-sp1-p1_k-140-with-deduplication-support','','','2011-08-11 10:23:23','2011-08-11 10:23:23','',0,'http://egroup.jasonmangone.com/?p=4762',0,'post','',0),(7246,40,'2012-08-24 09:12:16','2012-08-24 13:12:16','<a href=\"http://egroup.jasonmangone.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Inc.jpg\"><img class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-7241 alignleft\" title=\"Inc\" src=\"http://egroup.jasonmangone.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Inc-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" /></a>\r\n\r\nAt eGroup, we rarely thump our chests for a job well done.

As an administrator, you\'ll often want to schedule these types of activities for after business hours or during maintenance windows. Here\'s a PowerCLI script that lets you schedule VMware View pool refreshes on a one-time or periodic basis.<!--more-->\r\n\r\nHere\'s the whole script. Lines are marked with a number and parenthesis to avoid confusion with text wrapping.\r\n<pre>1) Add-PSSnapin VMware.View.Broker\r\n2) Connect-VIServer &lt;your View Connection Server hostname&gt;\r\n3) $a = get-date ((get-date).AddMinutes(2)) -format \"yyyy-MM-%d HH:mm\"\r\n4) Get-Pool -pool_id &lt;your pool ID&gt; | Get-DesktopVM | Send-LinkedCloneRefresh -schedule $a</pre>\r\nLet\'s step through each line of the script and dig into what it does. Since this is a Powershell script, the first line needs to import the VMware View snapins for Powershell.\r\n\r\nLine 2 logs the script in to your View Connection Server. To avoid saving a password in cleartext in the script, we\'ll have Windows store the credentials for the account this script will run as (more on that later).\r\n\r\nThe third line assigns the $a variable a time reference that is two minutes in the future. The specific formatting modifies the native Get-Date result into the time format that the next line is expecting. yyyy is a 4 digit year, MM is the numeric month with leading zeroes where appropriate, %d is the numeric day of the month without leading zeroes, HH is the hours in a 24-hour clock format, mm is the minutes past the hour. Be careful - almost all these tokens are case-sensitive (e.g. MM vs. mm).\r\n\r\nThe last line actually schedules the View Pool refresh for two minutes in the future using the variable we just built and formatted. You can find your View Pool ID listed in your View Connection Server.\r\n\r\nSave all this text in text file with a .ps1 extension to let the system know it\'s a Powershell script. Add a new task to Task Scheduler on your View Connection Server. You\'ll want this task to run with highest privileges and run as a user that has administrative rights to your View environment (this is why you don\'t have to specify credentials in the script). For the script action, the program to run is\r\n<pre>C:\\Windows\\system32\\WindowsPowershell\\v1.0\\powershell.exe</pre>\r\nand the optional argument is the path to your .ps1 script.\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6802\" src=\"http://egroup.jasonmangone.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Screen-Shot-2012-06-11-at-10.28.36-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"458\" height=\"493\" />','REFRESH YOUR VMWARE VIEW POOLS WITH POWERCLI','','publish','open','open','','refresh-your-vmware-view-pools-with-powercli','','','2012-06-12 03:17:20','2012-06-12 03:17:20','',0,'http://egroup.jasonmangone.com/?p=6794',0,'post','',0),(6795,35,'2012-06-12 02:33:39','2012-06-12 02:33:39','<pre>Add-PSSnapin VMware.View.Broker\nConnect-VIServer mecvcs01\n$a = get-date ((get-date).AddMinutes(2)) -format \"yyyy-MM-%d HH:mm\"\nGet-Pool -pool_id CHS | Get-DesktopVM | Send-LinkedCloneRefresh -schedule $a</pre>','REFRESH YOUR VMWARE VIEW POOLS WITH POWERCLI','','inherit','open','open','','6794-revision','','','2012-06-12 02:33:39','2012-06-12 02:33:39','',6794,'http://egroup.jasonmangone.com/6794-revision',0,'revision','',0),(4669,2,'2011-08-05 18:23:26','2011-08-05 18:23:26','','Careers','','inherit','open','open','','4668-revision-v1','','','2011-08-05 18:23:26','2011-08-05 18:23:26','',4668,'http://egroup.jasonmangone.com/4668-revision',0,'revision','',0),(6132,2,'2012-03-07 13:13:28','2012-03-07 13:13:28','<strong>March/April 2012 (<a href=\"http://origin.library.constantcontact.com/download/get/file/1103755119754-229/eGroup+PDF+newsletter+0212.pdf\">PDF Version</a>)</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li><strong><a href=\"http://www.itnewsletter.net/newsletters/index.cfm?cid=120&amp;sid=2383\">Powerful Resource</a></strong> eGroup supports Horry Electric’s IT team through sound advice and cutting-edge technical expertise.</li>\r\n	<li><strong><a href=\"http://www.itnewsletter.net/newsletters/index.cfm?cid=120&amp;sid=2381\">High Five!</a></strong> VMware vSphere 5 and View 5 help organizations develop a robust, scalable and secure cloud infrastructure and support a sophisticated desktop-as-a-service experience across the extended enterprise.</li>\r\n	<li><strong><a href=\"http://www.itnewsletter.net/newsletters/index.cfm?cid=120&amp;sid=2382\">Data Center Building Blocks</a></strong> Virtual Computing Environment coalition delivers business-ready IT infrastructure packages that accelerate pervasive virtualization and private cloud infrastructures.</li>\r\n	<li><strong><a href=\"http://www.itnewsletter.net/newsletters/index.cfm?cid=120&amp;sid=2384\">Analyzing ‘Big Data’</a></strong> Next-generation business analytics tools can deliver insight, competitive advantage.</li>\r\n</ul>','eGroup Advantage Newsletters','','inherit','open','open','','6105-revision-v1','','','2012-03-07 13:13:28','2012-03-07 13:13:28','',6105,'http://egroup.jasonmangone.com/6105-revision-11',0,'revision','',0),(4671,2,'2011-08-05 18:26:38','2011-08-05 18:26:38',' ','','','publish','open','open','','4671','','','2012-05-02 15:51:29','2012-05-02 15:51:29','',7,'http://egroup.jasonmangone.com/?p=4671',9,'nav_menu_item','',0),(4672,2,'2011-08-05 18:27:13','2011-08-05 18:27:13',' ','','','publish','open','open','','4672','','','2011-08-05 18:27:13','2011-08-05 18:27:13','',7,'http://egroup.jasonmangone.com/?p=4672',13,'nav_menu_item','',0),(4673,2,'2011-08-05 18:24:28','2011-08-05 18:24:28','','Careers','','inherit','open','open','','4668-revision-v1','','','2011-08-05 18:24:28','2011-08-05 18:24:28','',4668,'http://egroup.jasonmangone.com/4668-revision-2',0,'revision','',0),(4674,2,'2013-08-08 16:05:01','2013-08-08 20:05:01','Headquartered in South Carolina with offices throughout the entire southeast, eGroup is always looking for upbeat, driven and self-motivated \"go getters\" to join our rapidly growing team!

But, there are some important tools that you should be aware of that make it a lot easier!\r\n\r\nThe first tool you should consider are the SP Master Starter pages that are available on <a href=\"http://startermasterpages.codeplex.com\" target=\"_blank\">CodePlex</a>.  These starter pages have comments throughout the code that tell you exactly what each section is used for and what it does.  This is <em>extremely</em> useful and a <em>lot</em> easier than using the OOB master pages!\r\n\r\nAnother tool that ties in nicely with the Starter Master pages is this <a href=\"http://sharepointexperience.com/csschart/csschart.html\" target=\"_blank\">CSS Chart</a>.  This will help immensly when overriding the core CSS styles.  It will list all of the styles, tell you what they are used for, and give you a nice override key that you can use in your own CSS file.\r\n\r\nNo designer or developer would have a complete toolbox unless they had the IE F12 Developer Tools or the <a href=\"http://getfirebug.com\" target=\"_blank\">FireBug</a> plugin for Firefox.  Both of these tools will allow you to select elements on a page and see the code behind them.  Not only that, but FireBug will allow you to make inline changes to CSS styles and see the changes in real-time.  This is a <em>huge</em> time saver!\r\n\r\nSo there you have it.  These are the 3 main tools that I use whenever I do custom design work in SharePoint 2010.','SHAREPOINT 2010: CUSTOM MASTER PAGES','','publish','open','open','','sharepoint-2010-custom-master-pages','','','2011-09-02 12:29:26','2011-09-02 12:29:26','',0,'http://egroup.jasonmangone.com/?p=4708',0,'post','',0),(4709,23,'2011-08-08 14:10:32','2011-08-08 14:10:32','','Auto Draft','','inherit','open','open','','4708-revision-v1','','','2011-08-08 14:10:32','2011-08-08 14:10:32','',4708,'http://egroup.jasonmangone.com/4708-revision',0,'revision','',0),(4710,23,'2011-09-14 01:40:01','2011-09-14 01:40:01','In previous versions of SharePoint, linking directly to files was...painful.  The link spelled out the entire path to the document.  While this helped you to understand where the document was stored...if it were to moved then that link would be useless.  In SharePoint 2010, this has been resolved with the Document ID feature, which allows for Persistent Linking to documents.\r\n\r\nThe Document ID feature adds a new column to all document libraries in the site where the feature is activated, and then assigns a random string to each document.  For example...\r\n\r\nhttp://MySharePointSite/SharedDocuments/FolderLevel1/Subfolder 1/MyDocument.docx\r\n\r\nbecomes...\r\n\r\nhttp://MySharePointSite/_layouts/DocIdRedir.aspx?ID=TESTDOC43242-1-1\r\n\r\nIf you look at the end of the 2nd URL, you will notice \'TESTDOC\' at the beginning of the Doc ID.  This is configurable.  SharePoint can generate a completely random ID or a prefix can be defined in Site Settings.','SHAREPOINT 2010: PERSISTENT LINKING AND THE DOCUMENT ID FEATURE','','publish','open','open','','sharepoint-2010-persistent-linking-and-the-document-id-feature','','','2011-09-14 01:40:01','2011-09-14 01:40:01','',0,'http://egroup.jasonmangone.com/?p=4710',0,'post','',0),(4711,23,'2011-08-08 14:10:32','2011-08-08 14:10:32','Custom Timer Jobs can be extremely useful.

When deduplication is enabled for a consistency group, every new block of data is stored in both the local and the remote RPAs. Each block that arrives at the local RPA is analyzed, and whenever duplicate information is detected, a request is sent to the remote RPA to deliver the data directly to the remote storage, instead of sending the data to the remote site. This “data-learning” technique can eliminate much of the bandwidth traffic, under the right conditions.

When deduplication is enabled for a consistency group, every new block of data is stored in both the local and the remote RPAs. Each block that arrives at the local RPA is analyzed, and whenever duplicate information is detected, a request is sent to the remote RPA to deliver the data directly to the remote storage, instead of sending the data to the remote site. This “data-learning” technique can eliminate much of the bandwidth traffic, under the right conditions. The effectiveness of the deduplication process depends highly upon the application environment and the repetitiveness of the data. Dynamic data (such as interactive web traffic) will yield a smaller bandwidth reduction ratio, while static data (such as backups) will yield a higher bandwidth reduction ratio. Performance increases in environments with large amounts of duplicate data, and after the local and remote RPAs have had an opportunity to “learn” the data.\n\nWhen should I use deduplication?\n\nGenerally speaking, it is worthwhile to enable deduplication when the following conditions are true:\n<ul>\n	<li>You have limited bandwidth resources, or would like to save bandwidth.</li>\n	<li>Your consistency group contains a remote copy, to which you are replicating asynchronously.</li>\n	<li>All of the RPAs in your replication environment are running on a GEN4 or GEN4 FCOE hardware platform.</li>\n</ul>\nNote: If the data that you are replicating is non-repetitive, deduplication may not be effective.\n\nWhat do I need to know before enabling deduplication?\n<ul>\n	<li>Deduplication is only relevant for remote replication.</li>\n	<li>Deduplication is only relevant for asynchronous replication.</li>\n	<li>Deduplication is only supported in RecoverPoint environments in which all RPAs (of both the remote and local RPA clusters) are RPAs running on the GEN4 or GEN4 FCOE hardware platforms.</li>\n	<li>If an RPA running on a hardware platform other than GEN4 or GEN4 FCOE is added to a RecoverPoint cluster while deduplication is enabled, the deduplication process will fail and no warning will be issued to the user.</li>\n	<li>Both the enabling and disabling of deduplication causes a short pause in transfer and a short initialization.</li>\n	<li>Compression must be enabled before deduplication can be enabled.</li>\n	<li>Your RecoverPoint license must support compression, to support deduplication.</li>\n</ul>\n&nbsp;','EMC RELEASES RECOVERPOINT 3.4.SP1.P1_K.140 WITH DEDUPLICATION SUPPORT','','inherit','open','open','','4762-autosave','','','2011-08-11 10:24:26','2011-08-11 10:24:26','',4762,'http://egroup.jasonmangone.com/4762-autosave',0,'revision','',0),(4773,23,'2011-08-15 14:18:36','2011-08-15 14:18:36','','Auto Draft','','inherit','open','open','','4771-revision','','','2011-08-15 14:18:36','2011-08-15 14:18:36','',4771,'http://egroup.jasonmangone.com/4771-revision',0,'revision','',0),(4774,23,'2012-11-04 20:29:40','2012-11-05 01:29:40','As a SharePoint consultant who has worked with dozens of customers, the one constant I face, over and over, is that users are inherently resistant to change. It\'s just a fact. And, who can blame them if they\'re not properly educated and supported over the course of that process change - whatever that may be.\r\n\r\nSo, with respect to SharePoint, driving user adoption is one of the most important, but also one of the most difficult tasks that a SharePoint architect/administrator has. You could even say that it is the single most important task when designing/deploying SharePoint. Simply because it drives everything else. If the deployment doesn\'t function correctly, then user adoption will suffer. If it is difficult to navigate or understand, then user adoption will suffer.\r\n\r\nCouple all of these factors together and it will be difficult to meet your SharePoint project success metrics. Here are some key areas that I like to focus on when planning for user adoption:\r\n<h1><strong>1. Familiar</strong></h1>\r\nIn order to properly design a SharePoint deployment, you must think like an end user. And not just any end user...YOUR end users. Every corporate IT environment is unique.\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">How do your users access shared documents?\r\nHow do they access their personal documents?\r\nHow do they access reports?\r\nHow do they share ideas?</p>\r\nThese are all key questions that need to be asked. A survey of a portion of your users probably wouldn\'t hurt either.  The closer you can make accessing documents and information to the way your users are familiar with will help tremendously with user adoption! <span style=\"color: #000000\"> For example, if your users are used to the traditional network share filled with folders, then a single document library may work best.  If the folder structure is broken out by department already, then setting up separate document libraries for each department may be best.</span>\r\n<h1>2. Functional</h1>\r\nOne of the biggest reasons for choosing SharePoint that I hear is for \'document sharing\'. But, why use SharePoint? Why not just use a network share or maybe even a cloud based sharing solution? These are common questions and they are completely understandable. However, it shows a lack of understanding of the key enterprise features that SharePoint offers. Here are some key features that users should be well trained on prior to deployment so they fully understand how to use the tool.\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">Versioning\r\nPermissions\r\nNavigation\r\nWorkflows\r\nEnterprise Search\r\nContent Types and Document Templates</p>\r\nThese are just some examples of features that most users find indispensable. So make sure you engage and educate them prior to going live with the deployment.\r\n<h1>3. Automation</h1>\r\nAutomation is key when implementing SharePoint as well because it makes refusing to use SharePoint very difficult to justify. Automating processes such as HR On-boarding, Capital Purchasing Approval, Information Requests, IT Help Desk Ticketing, and so much more have huge ROI potential! A simple, high-level review of \'painful\' processes that departments have to deal with could reveal perfect use-cases for automation.\r\n\r\nHave you deployed SharePoint in your business?  If so, what is your user adoption rate?  What could make it better?  If you haven\'t deployed it, but would like to, did this post help give you a good idea on how to drive adoption?

And while this initially sounds like great news to lots and lots of developers around the US, the honest truth is that most of the development work seen in today\'s products does not happen by people in the US. There are countless sites online that will allow you to request a development project for dirt cheap and have hundreds of develops respond, freelancing and willing to undercut prices without sacrificing much in the way of quality.\r\n\r\nIt was originally my thought process that the world of technology would continue to move more and more so in the direction of things like Facebook and Twitter, that are pretty good examples of not only \"cloud computing\" but also the consumerization of IT. Users can access these services from any device, anywhere, and still enjoy mostly the same user experience. With technologies like this and the conintual advancement of standards (thinking HTML 5 here), it\'s hard to see a world where web applications won\'t take over and be the \"big player\" in the space of providing users with access to information (which is essentially the purpose of an application).\r\n\r\nBut then you look to the visionary companies like VMware (and in my mind, mostly VMware) who have laid out a vision of automation, super easy management, self provisioning, self \"balancing\" of resource loads, and \"higher in the stack\" virtualization of things like applications, and even delivery mechanisms of said applications through only an end user browser, which again, exists on all common devices these days.\r\n\r\nSo is the benefit really found in developing web applications, when you know that its likely easier to provide the end user with the kind of interactive application you\'re thinking of in mind, and being able to maintain that user experience but still delivering it through the browser?\r\n\r\nIt\'s hard to also overlook the ability for other companies out there to deliver applications with excellent end user experiences-- Citrix is a great example of this. But the thing that Citrix has failed to do is to take things beyond where they\'ve already been. How long has it been since applications were able to be delivered from other devices in the data center with great end user experience-- 12 years now? Why is it that in over a decade, a company that was so clearly positioned for an easy \"cloud victory\" is now not only out of \"first place\" but also clearly falling behind in the vision and planning of the industry\'s direction moving forward?\r\n\r\nSo if you had a young child today, who had the aspirations of going into the same field as you, which direction would yo usteer them? It\'s hard to think that the world WON\'T need hardware people, but the idea here is that once the hardware gets to a point where it\'s all available in a single, simple to manage stack, that the jobs will be had by the large companies offering said hardware, and the rest of the magic will have to take place through the software.\r\n\r\nBut if you take them in the direction of software, which way do they go \"Fat\" applications that are natively installed upon an assortment of Opearting Systems? Do they build applications that are intended to be virtualized, which makes it easier for things like ThinApp to get successful packages to turn around and deliver via a myriad of technologies? DO you steer them into web application development?\r\n\r\nHow does someone really prepare themselves for such a fundamental and transformational change in their industry? This is clearly a great time to be a part of the technology space, and the amount of knowledge that can be gained is quite literally endless. The more I learn the less I feel like I really know in the grand scheme of things. But should my time be spent learning web application frames like Ruby on Rails? Should it be spent digging into the deepest details of technologies like vSphere, XenApp/XenDesktop, Cisco UCS, and all the related networking? How do traditional companies get from where they are today to the true vision of the cloud? You\'ve got to think that the vision of the cloud for said business needs to exist first-- likely from the CIO/CTO. How about services companies? Should they begin \"building the cloud\" now? When/if most companies decide to embrace the cloud fully, how long until that market is completely saturated and becomes nothing more than a commodity, where the profits and prices are truly on a race to the bottom? When is it time to truly and fundamentally change direction?\r\n\r\nIn order to achieve the \"cloud dream\" we continue to hear time and time again, the CIO/CTO needs to have that vision. Or, what\'s likely to be common for groups like ours, is that WE have that vision, the understanding of how to get from where things are today to where they need to be to align with that vision, and the capability to make it happen. Things that need to take place for this are 1. you must know what your current costs are to run the virtual workloads in the data center on premise. 2. know what kind of security/compliance requirements you have in place so that you can better determine WHO you can use as a cloud partner if you decide to go public cloud. 3. you need the ability to populate the destination cloud with your data in a manner that\'s secure, and not time consuming. 4. once the data is there, you need to be able to monitor, and use it to run your virtual workloads, store your files, provide redundant copies of data, etc.\r\n\r\n5. you must also be able to run your workloads locally, as the bandwidth available today is not likely enough to handle the kind of performance requirements user requires for file access, OR you can run some kind of virtual delivery solution to allow the data to exist next to the server in which the user is currently logged into with a session. 6. you must be able to have your data available somewhere else, and if possible, in an active / active configuration so that you can spread the load, have grater scale, and be protected against environmental disasters, terrorism, etc.\r\n\r\nThe steps to get to the cloud: 1. Virtualize your workloads. 2. Calculate the price per virtual machine. 3. Determine security requirements / compliance necessities. 4. Begin to replicate your data to the Cloud (which in this case can be public or private). 5. Once in place, deliver the data through an additional virtualized mechanism using technologies like XenApp, VMware View, App Blast, etc. so that performance is acceptable regardless of end user location. 6. Move towards an active/active data model in which on premise and off premise clouds can be used simultaneously to scale, survive disaster/environmental/acts of terrorism. 7. Monetize the access to your applications/data through chargeback type services.\r\n\r\nOnce you get to this point, you have to decide if rebuilding your current line of business applications to better fit this  \"cloud\" model is the right direction to move, as it\'s likely things like App Blast and XenApp will have eliminated the need to worry about having \"thick\" client applications. Is it better to rewrite it all as web based application where any device with a browse scan hop in and function with quality?','d','','draft','open','open','','','','','2011-09-17

customers; one of the biggest challenges in the past has been addressing the siloed nature of their independent data centers with respect to networking.\r\n\r\nConsider this: Your primary data center has one IP schema and your DR data center has another. If we were to setup an Active / Active hot site scenario where you could move your compute loads between them, we would have to change the IP address of each of one of your systems as they moved through your cloud infrastructure. The automation of moving the actual compute load is not a difficult problem to solve with tools like VMware’s <a title=\"Site Recovery Manager\" href=\"http://www.vmware.com/products/site-recovery-manager/overview.html\">Site Recovery Manager</a>.\r\n\r\nIn the past to have the IP addresses change automatically it took a lot of manual scripting and fair amount of skill with XML. I know what your thinking, “It would be really nice to encapsulate the virtual network layer in this scenario”….hold that thought.\r\n\r\nA little while back at EMC world 2010 - VMotioning over long distance (WAN) was displayed in a truly geo-stretched environment using EMC’s <a title=\"VPLEX\" href=\"http://www.emc.com/storage/vplex/vplex.htm\">VPLEX</a>. The speed at which these VMotions where shown over a WAN were staggering. However, the first thought that popped in my head was; that’s great, but what happens when the VM that was sent from Chicago to New York can’t communicate on the network because it has a different IP schema.\r\n\r\nEnter the <a title=\"VXLAN\" href=\"http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-mahalingam-dutt-dcops-vxlan-00.txt\">VXLAN</a>, a truly scalable way to overlay the network (layer 2) for Cloud Computing models.\r\n\r\nVXLAN – Virtual Extendable LAN has the following features.\r\n• Logical networks to be extended among virtual machines placed in different subnets\r\n• Flexible, scalable cloud architecture in which new servers can be added in different subnets\r\n• Migration of virtual machines between servers in different subnets\r\n\r\nDesigning Business Continuity solutions just got easier.\r\nMore to come soon as we test the VXLAN functionality in the eGroup Lab and the NEXUS 1000v 1.5 beta.','VXLAN TO THE RESCUE','','publish','open','open','','vxlan-to-the-rescue','','','2011-09-12 17:40:01','2011-09-12 17:40:01','',0,'http://egroup.jasonmangone.com/?p=5010',0,'post','',0),(4820,13,'2011-08-26 00:12:33','2011-08-26 00:12:33','<a href=\"http://us.trendmicro.com/us/products/personal/safe-sync/index.html\">SafeSync</a> is a new Trend Micro product for businesses that need to easily and securely manage, share, and access your company’s digital files from anywhere at any time via a web browser or even a mobile device.  It redefines online file storage management, allowing organization the ability to eliminate on-premise data storage equipment.\r\n\r\n With Trend Micro SafeSync, your business files (even from multiple devices) are automatically synchronized and secured with an additional, up-to-date copy of all files held in the cloud.

Keep in mind that almost every one of our customers are heavily virtualized, the vast majority of which run VMware vSphere-- so it is in that context that the following \"strategies\" are presented.\r\n\r\nThe \"strategies\" listed below are NOT exclusive of one another-- in fact, we commonly use a combination of all 3 to provide a \"total solution\". And there are some other strategies and techniques used to aid in the migration of data that aren\'t covered that work just fine.\r\n\r\n<strong>\"Strategy\" 1</strong>\r\n\r\nFirst and foremost, the BEST and EASIEST data migration of all can be done without any downtime, and with zero risk. This is accomplished by using Storage vMotion (svMotion), and means you are migrating over some of your virtual environment to the VNX. It requires that your data exists in a VMDK (meaning it\'s a virtual machine and that drive is NOT an RDM), and that you\'ve created and presented storage from the VNX to the vSphere environment. This method works like a charm!\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n\r\n<strong>\"Strategy\" 2</strong>\r\n\r\nFor environments that have a lot of physical servers (which hurts my feelings by the way-- virtualize \'em already!), or use lots of RDMs, there are some alternative options, most common of which uses EMC\'s SAN Copy software. SAN Copy is included on the VNX platform for FREE, and for customers migrating from an EMC CLARiiON, EMC will provide this to you at no charge (again, read FREE) for your CLARiiON, (to be used for migrating to the VNX).\r\n\r\nSAN Copy is installed as a \"software enabler\" on the desired arrays and allows the copying of data between arrays, in either a \"push\" or \"pull\" method. The method, push or pull, is determined by the array initiating the copy job (if it\'s the \"old\" array, it\'s a push--).\r\n\r\nThis can also take place between an EMC array and a \"qualified non-EMC storage array\", but only in a \"pull\" fashion.\r\n\r\nUsing a \"push\" method (where you\'re configuring and starting the SAN Copy job from the array you\'re migrating FROM)  allows you to do Incremental SAN Copy jobs. This let\'s you do a single full copy, and from then on only copy over the changed/delta data.\r\n\r\nIt\'s important to note that this is \"host independent\"-- meaning the host servers are not involved. This DOES require downtime to cutover, unlike strategy 1 described above.\r\n\r\n<strong>Note: </strong>This doesn\'t get configured the same way it did on the CLARiiON platform when going \"CX to CX\". I\'ll work on getting a video together showing the difference, but for now just know that when you create the SAN Copy session, the \"remote LUN\" isn\'t something you select (today)-- you must enter the unique ID of the LUN instead (see screenshot). Kind of a pain, but not unbearable.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/2640/sancopylun.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"200\" />\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>\"Strategy\" 3</strong>\r\n\r\nWhen migrating over your file server(s) or file server(s) data, consider skipping the \"copy to a LUN\" or svMotion methods, and move straight to using the CIFS server capabilities of the VNX. This is a larger conversation, but in brief, the VNX can operate as a Windows file server, where you give it some disk space to use, a name and IP address, and join it to the domain. It will appear as a regular computer in Active Directory (you can create multiples if you\'d like as well-- for security or isolation between departments, companies, domains etc.), and you can even include it in your DFS environment.\r\n\r\nThe BENEFITS of this are numerous, and include:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>FILE DE-DUPLICATION! This is one of the BEST reasons to move your file server data to the VNX. Huge storage savings, which ultimately means \"YOU SAVE MONEY\"! (see screenshot below-- 43% of all files were deduplicated!)</li>\r\n	<li>Highly available, highly resilient file server. Since the platform itself maintains 5 9\'s of availability, your file server doesn\'t have a single point of failure, which it would if it was a stand-alone Windows server (think about what happens if the OS blue screens for example).</li>\r\n	<li>High performance hardware designed to serve files!</li>\r\n	<li>Thin Provisioning-- only commit what\'s actually being used, again, saving space/money.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http://img571.imageshack.us/img571/8250/dedupe.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"100\" />\r\n\r\nThis screenshot came out of a customer environment-- 43% of their total files were deduplicated. 43%.

Keep in mind that almost every one of our customers are heavily virtualized, the vast majority of which run VMware vSphere-- so it is in that context that the following \"strategies\" are presented.\n\n<strong>\"Strategy\" 1</strong>\n\nFirst and foremost, the BEST and EASIEST data migration of all can be done without any downtime, and with nearly zero risk. This is accomplished by using Storage vMotion (svMotion), and means you are migrating over some of your virtual environment to the VNX. It requires that your data exists in a VMDK (meaning it\'s a virtual machine and NOT an RDM), and that you\'ve created and presented storage from the VNX to the vSphere environment. This method works like a charm!\n\n<strong>Strategy 2</strong>\n\nFor environments that have a lot of physical servers (which hurts my feelings by the way-- virtualize \'em already!), or use lots of RDMs, there are some alternative options, most common of which uses EMC\'s SAN Copy software. SAN Copy is included on the VNX platform for FREE, and for customers migrating from an EMC CLARiiON, EMC will provide this to you at no charge (again, read FREE) for your CLARiiON, (to be used for migrating to the VNX).\n\nSAN Copy is installed as a \"software enabler\" on the desired arrays and allows the copying of data between arrays, in either a \"push\" or \"pull\" method. This can also take place between an EMC array and a \"qualified non-EMC storage array\", but only in a \"pull\" fashion.\n\nUsing a \"push\" method, where you\'re configuring and starting the SAN Copy session from the array you\'re migrating FROM, allows you to do Incremental SAN Copy jobs. This let\'s you do a single full copy, and from then on only copy over the changed/delta data.\n\n<strong>Note: </strong>This doesn\'t get configured the same way it did on the CLARiiON platform when going \"CX to CX\". I\'ll work on getting a video together showing the difference, but for now just know that when you create the SAN Copy session, the \"remote LUN\" isn\'t something you select (today)-- you must enter the unique ID of the LUN instead (see screenshot)\n\n&nbsp;\n\nWhen migrating over your file server(s) or file server(s) data, consider skipping the \"copy to a LUN\" or svMotion methods, and move straight to using the CIFS server capabilities of the VNX. This is a larger conversation, but in brief, the VNX can operate as a Windows file server, where you give it some disk space to use, a name and IP address, and join it to the domain.
