Tighe asked this question at our TechNet Event in Saint Louis several weeks
ago:
“System Center 2012 - one agent for all products?”
That’s a great question, Tighe. Naturally one might assume that if
we’ve changed-up how we sell System Center 2012 now as one product rather
than a suite of separate products, that we might consider using only one
management agent on the servers and desktops that are under management. I
don’t know if that has been considered, personally, but I suspect that it
wasn’t considered for very long. And here’s why:
Even though we’re going to be selling SC2012 as one product (in two
varieties: Regular and Extra-Strength), you will still have the choice to
implement one or two or 5 of the 8 components you own. If I just want to do
desktop and server (and service and network and…) monitoring using System
Center 2012 Operations Manager, but do... (more)
For many of the same reasons IPv6 migration is moving slower than perhaps it
should given the urgent need for more IP addresses (to support all those cows
connecting to the Internet) is the sheer magnitude of such an effort. Without
the ability for IPv6-only nodes to talk to IPv4-only nodes, there’s a lot
of careful planning that has to happen around the globe to ensure success and
continued communication between the two incompatible protocols.
In many ways, Jumbo Frames – despite performance advantages – suffer from
the same technological incompatibility. Remember that Jumbo Fram... (more)
Cloud Expo New York $500 Savings here!
Wide and cheap availability of cloud-based media services is upon us. With
the transformations these services are already bringing to the consumption of
music, video and interactive media, change has likewise come to professional
workflows. Documents in 2012 are read, written, collaborated on, and
distributed anywhere an Internet-enabled device can reach - which is to say,
everywhere.

By the time this blog post hits the airwaves, 6fusion will have launched
it’s second major software product in the first 45 days of 2012. For those
of you that run start up software companies, you know what kind of pace it
means. To be perfectly transparent, things are, well, nucking futs inside our
little company.
The product we launched simultaneously at VMworld Partner Exchange in Las
Vegas and Cloud Connect in Santa Clara is called 6fusion Cloud Resource Meter
(for VMware vSphere) – more on the vSphere part later.
I wanted to take a few written words to explain a few things a... (more)
#F5 does #VDI, and it does it better.
There are three core vendors and protocols supporting VDI today. Microsoft
with RDP, Citrix with ICA, and VMware with PCoIP. For most organizations a
single vendor approach has been necessary, primarily because the costs
associated with the supporting network and application delivery network
infrastructure required to deliver VDI with the appropriate levels of
security while meeting performance expectations of users and the need to
maintain high availability.
It’s a tall order that’s getting taller with every mobile client
introduced, espec... (more)
