		<description><![CDATA[Using snapshots to protect Active Directory (AD) without careful planning will most definitely end up in a complete disaster. AD is a loosely consistent distributed multi-master database and it must not be treated as a static system.  Without carefully addressing how AD works with Time Stamps, Version Stamps, Update Sequence Numbers (USNs), Globally Unique Identification numbers (GUIDs), [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today marks yet another great milestone for OpenSolaris and OpenStorage. SUN has as promised, delivered a much anticipated de-duplication feature for us to explore and use.  I must say that I am very excited about it and with no doubt this is a very cool feature indeed The ideas for how to use it are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The OpenSolaris Storage Summit was really cool to attend this year. Mike Shapiro presented an interesting view of what is transpiring in storage hardware and where storage vendors need to focus on in order to be successful in the next few years. As always his presentation is a pleasure to follow. He talked about the s7000 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ COMSTAR is a new breed of open source storage product available to the world. What was traditionally a closed and proprietary storage capability is now available to our open source communities. With OpenSolaris and COMSTAR the ability to freely provision virtual storage services over very mature high end protocols on standard commodity server hardware is now a reality. High performance transports [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Benchmarks are useful in many ways, they are particularly effective when you wish to validate an architectural design. In this case a SUN X4500 as an iSCSI target and VMware ESX 3.5 servers with QLA4050c initiators. This benchmark is not a definitive measure of what the architectural maximums are for the X4500 or the other [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The first time I looked at ZFS it totally floored me. This is a file system that has changed storage system rules as we currently know them and continues to do so. It is with no doubt the best architecture to date and now you can use it for your VMware stores.
Previously I had explored using [...]]]></description>
