Storage Spaces Direct Basics
Like anything else, I’m going to start with the basics of the stack and then dive into details of each component over the next few blog posts. There’s a lot to digest…So let’s get rolling…
The intention of this blog post series is to give some history of how Microsoft Storage Spaces evolved to what it has become known today as Storages Spaces Direct (S2D). This first blog post will go into the history of Storage Spaces. Over my next few posts, I will delve further into the recent Storage Spaces Direct release with Windows 2016 server. l will conclude my series with where I think it’s headed and how it compares to other HCI solutions in general. Now let’s go for a ride down memory lane….
Well, I’m fresh back from Microsoft Ignite 2016. It was a busy week of attending sessions and booth duty for Nutanix :). Here is a summary of highlights and pics from the conference. I plan on diving deep into each of the major highlights over the coming weeksmonths. My first blog post will be on Storage Spaces Direct and its evolution. On to the updates…
In the past few months, I have been focusing a lot of my time around the development of our Nutanix Ready Integrated Program which deals with partner solutions leveragingcosuming our API (application programming interfaces). After a lot of research on API programs and consumption patterns, I thought I would share my thoughts and some conclusions on the business side. Not sure if this is considered a blog post or just ramblings, but here we go.
Fun and crazy days here at Nutanix. I’ve busy been fielding a lot of calls around our new offering, CPS Standard on Nutanix. Now if you don’t know what CPS is, it stands for Cloud Platform System.
Good day, all…it’s been a while since my last post. Between prepping for .NEXT 2016 and the Nutanix Ready Integrated program and also Microsoft World Wide Partner Conference. I haven’t had a lot of time to work on the blog. Now that .NEXT16 and WPC16 are over, I can now put some time into it. Also, I attended NPX boot camp just before .NEXT and have a blog post coming on the NPX program from a MicrosoftMVP perspective soon.
To continue on my last blog post on Exchange...
As I mentioned previously, I support SE’s from all over the world. And again today, I got asked what are the best practices for running Exchange on Nutanix. Funny enough, this question comes in quite often. Well, I am going to help resolve that. There’s a lot of great info out there, especially from my friend Josh Odgers, which has been leading the charge on this for a long time. Some of his posts can be controversial, but the truth is always there. He’s getting a point across.
Have you had a need to document your Exchange environment? Do you need a tool to help you plan your upgrade of Exchange? Is your documentation current for compliance purposes?
