    ESX advise

    servers like the ocassional reboot, we must reboot ours every month or so either for windows updates or software updates etc. We have a couple of servers that surprise us when we see they have been going for 6 months or so but they get a restart every now and again too. with esx, i suppose...

    ESX advise

    +1, theres no way a windows server stays up more than 6 months these days with updates, 3 years means you aren't patching and thats pretty bad practice imo!

    One for DK? Memory & Xeon scenario?

    HP SIM and vmware vcenter don't support 64 bit which are the two i come across a lot, MS has said that windows 2008 is the last OS they will produce as a 32 bit version, so windows 7 should be 64bit only according to that.

    One for DK? Memory & Xeon scenario?

    yeah, bit of a bummer, the g6 ram is even more complicated too. 2k3 ent edition really depends on how much ram you are putting in, to take advantage of 64 bit you really need to be putting a lot of ram in, otherwise the overhead of 64bit makes no difference for smaller amounts and isn't faster...

    Virtual Test Environment Help

    as you seem to suggest you either work for intel or hp, i have a question for you. This was something a customer asked me the other day and i couldn't answer. Turbo boost, what OS's support this please, as with the feature it does state that the OS needs to support it, i'm guessing windows...

    Virtual Test Environment Help

    he can't get 5500 processors without buying G6 servers, the motherboard and architecture plus ram is TOTALLY different. You can get up to twice as many vm's (in theory) on a g6 server running high end 5500 series processors but its not just the processors that are helping, a s**t load of more...

    Virtual Test Environment Help

    well you can get 8x300gb sas drives in the dl380, so its not that restictive (the g6 model take 16 drives!) MSA1000, an extra shelf would be that much, the msa30 is about £1200 and the disks about £300 each so max £5k really, although the msa30 is ahrder toget hold of these days because its EOL...

    Virtual Test Environment Help

    not sure i completely understand the question, you say you have £20k budget but then that you can't spend money on hardware? Then you say its a test environment, but you have 20k, thats an expensive test environment? Surely all you need to do is install esxi on the DL's and then present the...

    Any Windows 2008 Server woes to report?

    mainly around getting the TS gateway to work properly, it doesn't load balance people and round robin doesn't really work. As we have a remote office over a vpn they all seem to get put on the same server in the farm because they are coming from the same IP and theya re the main users of it...

    Any Windows 2008 Server woes to report?

    we moved to a total Windows 2008 domain last April, so have had it all installed for a year and so far have only had some little issues, mainly around TS 2008 and the gateway, nothing major though, more to do with the connection between the sites. The 2008 servers have blue screened a couple of...

    password for bt homehub?

    lol, whats wrong with that? Most enterprise switches allow you reset passwords by pressing a button. The idea is that you can only do it if you have access to the physical hub, nothing insecure about that! Someone trying to do it over wireless can't press the button to reset it can they......

    was pissing down with rain in NY, had a bad over the camera to keep it dry and an umbrella in one hand so was very pleased when i got this shot out, had everything american/NY related, school bus, cadillac, steam, neons,NY taxi flying past and the planet hollywood sign refected in the cab...

    Got the wedding date

    i think you're going to really struggle with the internal shots with that setup, you need something fast or at least a camera that can do high ISO shots well. Interior shots are hard to do at the best of times without needing to have to have some serious zoom on top.

    Buying a DSLR this evening! Nikon D60 or Canon 450D!! QUICK ADVICE PLEASE!

    lol, can i post all the lens's which work on the canon, form canon, sigma etc. etc...... the 500d is a replacement for the 450d, but the 1000d is nearly up to 450d spec anyway so they are trying to widen the gap, plus its going up against the d90 and the price of everything camera related has...

    Buying a DSLR this evening! Nikon D60 or Canon 450D!! QUICK ADVICE PLEASE!

    think the d40/60 are more comparable to the 1000d? the 450d is very impressive, positioned above the d40 though imo, d40 has this silly lens thing where you have to watch which ones work, but 450 is more expensive. 450d does have a really good viewing screen, makes a lot of difference imo...

    nothing wrong with the pad if you add the trigger extensions, they completely transform it TBH. I love PSN, its free, nuff said really, still allows me to play games online, and chat and its free, like nothing to pay, like totally costenloss. I also prefer the fact that its silent, the 360...

    Live View important?

    i use it ocasionally too, it has auto focus, just need to press a different button to focus it rather than the shutter button. I've had surprisingly good results from it too, very sharp pictures from it, this is on a 50d.
