With this article I want to give back and offer some insights and recommendations for note taking. Furthermore, I want to explain why it is critical to take structured notes in order to increase your productivity and extend your brain with accessible external memory. Moreover, consistent note taking, rereading and remembering will increase your cognitive abilities.

Finally, five years after the release of vSphere 6 in 2015, the time has come for the next level of the first class enterprise hypervisor ESXi and it’s management environment VCenter Server. After several announcements, the new version 7.0 GA was released, public downloadable, at beginning of April 2020. Meanwhile there was a lot of time to stage the first upgrades and evaluate the new features. Read on and check out my insights…

Hi everybody,
I am reporting back from the walking dead.
Unfortunately I suffered from a ankle injury on the side of my right foot. This nasty cutback didn’t heal as fast as I expected maybe I escalated too hard on the treadmill.
Luckily I was able to recover but had to drastically reduce my training workload. That’s why I didn’t report for almost three months. I am thrilled that I am back very refreshed and hungry for new personal records.

In reference to my prior article vSAN – High Available Solution this article will give a glimpse overview of what is possibe with vSAN.
My favorite features:
Easy to install and manage. this kernel based solution requires that you have a vSphere environment already in place. Or you go the greenfield approach.
Scaleability – assign/remove single disks to/from diskgroups – go up to 64 hosts / cluster.
SPBM (Storage Policy Based Management) in place has a rich set of options assigneable to indiviual sets of VMs. Defines a redundancy with up to n+3. Furthermore, on top of it a strechted cluster is possible. A configurable IOPs limit keeps away the noisy neighbor.
In addition, Performance – literally – allflash comes with the smallest license.
Compression/Deduplication/Encryption is sometimes required and can be activated on vSAN datastore layer.
NVME – the super fast PCIe based technology is supported. Therefore simply use this kind of SSD for Read/Write caching.
Moreover, utilize x86 standard any vendor server hardware, no complex SAN is required for high availability. Compute, Storage and even Network … all in the box.
Small=Big – start with an allflash two node direct design. No expensive 10Gbit+ switches have to be attached.
Certainly, integrates in Multicloud and Automation – AWS features the vSphere stack.
In conclusion, this architecture is the answer to various kinds of requirements like availability, performance, manageability, security, recoverability, compliance. However well it depends.
I appreciate your top feature in the comments!
Next:
Subsequently, I will write about the “long walk” again. Attendance Mammutmarsch Berlin – 25.05.2019, 24h – 100km, confirmed.
After one pass and one fail (Mammutmarsch/Megamarsch Munich) the sails have been set for another exhausting “why in the hell do I do it again” event xD.
I Wish you all the best!
AMD vs. Intel – The fight for supremacy
Is there something missing?
What empowers your device?
What all of this devices have at least in common is pretty established. It’s the CPU – central processing unit. Due the fact that everything digital is encoded in zeros and ones or on and off, its all based on calculations done by the CPU.
