		<description><![CDATA[Some time ago I found myself conceptually provisioning ESXi hosts that could transition local storage in a distributed manner within an array of hypervisors. The architectural model likens itself to an amorphous cluster of servers which share a common VM client service that self provisions shared storage to it&#8217;s parent hypervisor or even other external [...]]]></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[Understanding VMFS volumes is an important element within VMware ESX environments. When storage issues surface we need to correctly evaluate the VMFS volume states and apply the appropriate corrective actions to remediate undesirable storage events. VMFS architecture is not publically available and this certainly adds to the challenge when we need to correct a volume configuration or change [...]]]></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>
