Back in September, 2009, I had written a post with a quick overview of what a private cloud (or infrastructure) looks like and some basic costs and information, including why it is a great product (I am biased).
Since then, Dell has retired the PE2900III model server and items change, this is an update for the More >

So, across my RSS feed today, I saw a blurb…
Apache terminates ‘outated’ web server
What?
I clicked the link and was sent off to The Register for their report on the issue.
Apache 1.3 was released in July, 1998 – 12 years ago, and still in operation today.

Been a long week and I had to deal with some red tape internally (of my own creation!), but finally have some working shell service to sell to people who want it.
I had posted last week about the issue(s) of shell services and decided that I would do the work to put this kind of More >

Wowzers, quite a little thread going on in a newsgroup, but really, what’s the big deal?
I think I know…
Not everyone uses the Internet for viewing web pages and downloading pr0nself-help videos and television shows. The Internet itself has become much easier for the layman to use, and with that, these historical services are no longer More >

The crowd cheers!
Though that might just be me :)
I am very excited for this update and I hope that it goes as smoothly as other updates have gone.
I have already updated 2 non-production systems (both ESX) and I am in the process of updating some non-production ESXi servers.

In the last 6 months, I have helped multiple customers achieve their dream of a virtual machine environment built for them exclusively, but with abilities to control their virtual machine setup, configuration, turn up, tear down, etc. These dedicated infrastructure environments are in the ipHouse data center.

No mispelling, just playing ‘new internet lingo’ game. Did I win?
Let’s get serious…
This week, multiple customer accounts were breached. Starting approximately 3 weeks ago, a phish was sent out that some of our customers responded to, giving out their account information.
We looked through our mail logs and found the users who had been phished and More >

Whew! And about perfect timing for me.
I was helping a friend understand that he could not operate ESXi 4.0 on his old server because of the requirement for a 64bit CPU environment.
Today, VMware released this blog post touting the updates and a link to their actual hardware compatibility list, which covers vSphere 4.0 ESX and ESXi, and More >

Official download was available on May 21st, 2009, and I was waiting anxiously for my license keys for the new vCenter (management console) and host license keys (that which is the hypervisor)…
I got them on that day, and then proceeded to spend way too much time with it. For some people, addiction is a bad thing. For More >
