Do you want to reduce complexity Data Center. IBM XIV storage sub-system can help you reduce complexity in our storage. Check this video from VMWorld 2009.

XIV promises high density and high performance storage and very low cost.
It uses SATA disks in order to achive lower cost and lower power consumption (and less cooling required) than FC SCSI drives. Performance is excellent due to parallelism and caching (even though individual disks are slower).

But what I like the most is the simplicity. No need to think how to optimize the storage system and how to distribute the data. Sounds too good to be true. I definately need to study more about this.

IBM muuttaa sub-capacity eli kapasiteetin alentamisen lisensointia. Tuettuja / hyväksyttyjä virtualisointialustoja on jatkossa myös Citrix XenServer 4.1 ja 5.0 sekä Microsoftin Hyper-V Server 2008. Lisäksi VMware tuki laajenee koskemaan myös VMware Server 2.0 versiota. Tarkemmat tiedot voit lukea oheisesta linkistä: Eligible_Virtualization_Technology_Apr09.pdf (application/pdf-tiedosto)

IBM:n tänään päivätty julkaisukirje aiheesta löytyy oheisen linkin takaa: IBM EMEA Announcement Letter ZP09-0096.

Yksi merkittävä parannus sub-capacity lisensointiin on että jatkossa ei tarvita enää erillisiä IBM tuotekoodeja sub-capacity lisensoiduille tuotteille ja lisäksi sub-capacity lisensoitavien tuotteiden määrä kasvaa.

Finland has produced more rally champions – 7 total – than any other nation. Finland has also produced more Formula One champions per head than any other nation. Mika Hakkinen two times Formula One champion explains to Top Gear presenter James May “Captain Slow” what finnish word “Sisu” means. And if you have the guts you can join to my Road Trip in next summer where we will visit the best driving road in the world: Davos Switzerland to Stelvio Italy (ranked by Top Gear).
