    Building a Server?

    This was the official Cisco course, it was 2 separate weeks, icnd1 and then 2, but I took the combined exam rather than doing 2 exams. A few colleagues of mine did the official condensed 1 week one and said it was too much info to take in in 1 week, also, they had 8 am starts and 7pm finishes...

    I did the 2 week course, then revised for a week then took the combined exam, passed first time. Got the ccda course next month, not massively looking forward to it, as it's a design course, im more of a doing person.

    2012 MBP [speculation & educated guesses]

    i have the 17", but its only 6 months old so i won't be upgrading, 17" compliments my MBA 11" though. In fact, since i've bought the MBP, i don't think i've used the MBA that much, its mainly my going on holiday laptop now, the 17" is surprisingly light and compact compared to what I've been...

    Colocation

    Unfortunately not, I don't work in sales sorry (and we don't advertise our prices on our website), if you are interested though, I can put you in touch with someone who will be able to help, but we are more a managed service than just hosting a server in our rack etc.

    New Lens for Le-mans

    It's an ok lens, but those lenses on that site are over £1000, I used it to see if I wanted to spend the extra money on the thing I hired, it turns out I didn't, I saved myself a packet. I hear what you are saying about getting one to keep for doube the amount, le mans is a special event...

    New Lens for Le-mans

    something like this for £50 for 5 days (amazing lens, no real need for IS if you are going to be panning) http://www.lensesforhire.co.uk/canon-ef-70-200mm-f28-l-usm-6-p.asp or this for £60 with a lot more length, but i think you can get quite close to the action at le mans right...

    iOS 5.1

    Since updating to 5.1.1 I've not had any crashes on safari on iPad like I was getting, especially when replying on here. I have noticed though, that tabs used to stay populated with the page, I.e. when you changed between tabs it wouldn't reload the page like it used to a year ago, I preferred...

    How many hosts per esx server....

    hmm, didn't realise you were using that s**tty san wannabe software rather than a real san, how many spindles does the storage server have (or do you not need that detail)? for vdi, it will need more than you probably think. I don't really know how that software works, i deal with hardware...

    The Official Cliosport.net 3D Thread

    This was something I looked into, being a glasses wearer myself. I discounted the Sony as they just didn't sit well over my glasses, but the Samsung ones did. But then each manufacturer seems to have several different designs these days anyway.

    How many hosts per esx server....

    Not sure what you mean by this? Mirrored setup, 4 servers? Its a single site right? If its 2 sites,mthen you wouldn't mirror the data between the sites, and virtual desktops are spun up from clones you would just deploy a new pool at the dr site. The servers they connect to (which you've not...

    How many hosts per esx server....

    Yeah, and that's before I realised you weren't actually going to order the kit after ;) 2 server is fine, but if one has a failure, no matter how small, say a processor fails etc, you need to have another host to spread the load, so 3 is the minimum you should be looking at. For ram, you are...

    How many hosts per esx server....

    Oh I thought it was real life, ffs, doesn't anyone do their own work anymore!!! and yes, it will be windows, how many people do you know running anything other than windows on vdi, I've not come across any and I've done a lot of deployments. Yes, you will get the odd user needing a Linux box...

    How many hosts per esx server....

    But that does raise a good point people forget about when doing vdi, you need to buy new full licenses for the desktop os, you cant use the existing licenses from the desktops as they will be oem, so you either need to by full licenses or go on a yearly scheme with ms like an enterprise...

    How many hosts per esx server....

    Doesn't make that much difference, windows 7 needs more resources than xp, but that's normally because people want things like aero to work on the desktops. You should be going windows 7 now anyway, xp is definitely not recommended for a new deployment.

    How many hosts per esx server....

    It is about 5-10 desktops per core, depends on the profiles of the users, there are vdi calculators on the web to help. I have a customer who is running about 375 users and they have 7 hosts, each with 2x6 core processors. The cpu is not really the worry though, it's the memory, those servers...

    Downloading recordings from Virgin Tivo?

    I guess as a worse case scenario, you could film it on the tv, not ideal I know, but it might be the only way. Or do a Skype with an iPad and point it at the screen for his part, it'll only be about 15 minutes.

    Downloading recordings from Virgin Tivo?

    Yeah, good luck with that, not the sort of show people will make the effort to upload, I can't find anything on it.
