The IPad2 unveiled

Seen on Metro.fr: Apple iPad 2: new with the best

Steve Jobs, Apple CEO, unveiled the second generation of the touch pad that has already sold more than 15 million copies.

Faster, thinner, lighter and with two integrated cameras and especially with more design work, the iPad 2 should allow Apple to maintain a wide lead over its competitors in this new emerging market for the tablet Touch. A phenomenal advance since the Cupertino currently owns over 90% market share and claims more than 15 million products sold between April and December 2010.

Steve Jobs on stage
A success that is at the heart of CEO Steve Jobs. Although ill, he wished to be present last night at the presentation of his new baby, "3rd Apple blockbuster of the post-PC". With iPad 2, Apple wants to convert the try and cut the grass under the feet of dozens of competitors (Samsung, RIM Blackberry, HP, Acer, Archos ...) who want a piece of cake.

2 ? Externally First, the new version of the tablet is sleek. One-third thinner (8.8 mm thick) and 15% lighter (590 g against 680 g before), it also has a curved back that is reminiscent of the iPhone 3G. Inside, the tablet has a processor that makes the unit twice as fast with better management of graphics. Two cameras, one front and one rear to allow videoconferencing and taking photos.

A "cover" engineering
option, Apple will offer a new protection system that no longer cover the screen with a electromagnetic system very clever. We fell in love. The touch pad will be sold in two colors (black and white) at the same price as the previous version, either from 508.56 euros in France, tax cons included the private copying. According to GfK, over one million touch pads, all brands should be sold this year in France.

Where would I be in early April? A virtual IPS

Invitations are parties yesterday. It seems that the event would have grown so large that would have required leaving Pillar Data Scottsdale (AZ) to emigrate to San Diego. It said that the French delegation would come into force this year ...

I think we will suffer ...

Seen on Virtuanews HP and VMware together to prevent intrusions

HP and VMware have teamed up to develop and market solutions, intrusion prevention (Intrusion Prevention System, IPS) new generation, designed and optimized for virtual environments based on VMware and Cloud vSphere. Extension of the strategy Converged Infrastructure HP, this collaboration is based on the IPS solution HP TippingPoint for deployments of VMware vSphere, with a higher level of integration.
The two partners intend to improve the protection of businesses by integrating the TippingPoint IPS HP VMware VMware vCloud vShield well as Director. The integration of these products should help to improve security on the Cloud allows unified management of security rules and automating the processes of analysis, threat identification and blocking attacks. Consequently, the safety rules will be simpler to maintain and provide better protection of infrastructure, both virtual cloud.

The two partners also announced the availability of a joint solution combining HP and VMware TippingPoint vController vShield for perimeter protection and application to simplify the security of the information system of the company. The combination of HP TippingPoint IPS vController vShield and VMware will provide a solution that integrates firewall and IPS to protect both physical and virtual environments.

This combined solution will provide the means to deploy security policies that adjust automatically to changes in their environments Virtual such as the introduction of a new virtual machine. It will provide continuous protection of both physical and virtual infrastructure in a unified and integrated. In addition, the offer benefits from the work of the Digital Vaccine Laboratories, Division of R & D in security which HP provides continuous filters preventing the latest malicious attacks.

The TippingPoint IPS solution with vController vShield is marketed by HP or its authorized partners.

point on the EMC VNX.

At the beginning of the year, unless you have been hibernating, it has been difficult miss the launch of 41 new products including EMC VNX. The least we can say is that the timing of such a set of projects has not been an easy task and we can only recognize the strength of the company in this field. Now that the noise begins to sink and I had the chance to evaluate a product, let us focus on this new range VNX.

View of VNX 5300

Physically, it remains in the presence of X-BLADE equipped with the famous "DataMove" Disk Processor Enclosure related (Storage Processors) which is connected Disk Array Enclosures by the traditional ties of CF and a control station redundant

First it must be said that the VNX want to convergence between its two previous ranges midrange Clariion called (SAN-block) and Celerra ( NAS-file mode) to provide functionality that is unified access protocols FC / iSCSI / COEF / NFS / CIFS in a box, all driven from a common GUI called Unisphere Manager federating access to well-known features of DART ( NAS) and FLARE (SAN). The controllers function as it should be active / active support and co ALUA PowerPath software house that allows for dynamically load-balancing and failover.

Some developments in the firmware FLARE 31 in which there is support for the Thin Provisioning (Thin LUN), the automatic tiering in a Storage Pool with FAST VP heterogeneous on two levels of disk technology by migrating segments (sub-LUN) 1GB, and the use of SSDs up to 2TB as second-level cache.

The concept of Meta-Lun is renewed. For the record, the Meta-LUN allows extension by stripping (for performance) or concatenated (for volume) on multiple RAID groups presented a LUN to a server. And as long at it, we just mix the two modes). Bay allows (optional product) compression - no-deduplication information, especially for static volumes such as those granted by the VTL instance.

administration Unisphere is hosted on a station built in redundant configuration. Unisphere is used through a banner menu at the top of the screen is relatively simple to understand grouped by family: Monitoring System Storage Hosts Replicas Support Settings and Configuration Wizards (wizards) simplifying navigation to perform administrative tasks for the tool being rich is just sometimes not knowing where we stand.

The System menu provides access to information about the physical and logical configuration of the storage array, the state of its components in real time, and manages the various alerts. Thus, we can centrally control all of its EMC configurations through a single point, a real plus for a user EMC. I noticed also integrated access to the Replication Manager interface directly through the menu Replicas "

The logic is always based on InfoSet - definition information characterizing the data to replicate - Activity associated with - the jobs-replication. Monitoring jobs is it done through the Data Protection Advisor for SAN & NAS which also allows the measurement of performance of the bay, the configuration change tracking and monitoring the use of the volume.

For us using friends VMware, EMC integrates a tool to act as a VCB proxy supporting NFS datastores / VMFS / SAN / RDM, which operates visibly Vaai. Besides managing your VNX, Unisphere allows access configurations RecoverPoint and compile an inventory of the infrastructure while interfacing with VMware vCenter via dedicated plug-in.

In summary, the VNX is a synthesis of all the knowledge on a bay convergent EMC SAN / NAS that meets both the needs of small SMEs with VNXe up with the very large 7500. However, even if I see much more objectively, I personally still struggling with the often detrimental effects of range when managing transitions both in terms of financial and operational and the automatic tiering really problematic for the bandwidth consumed on the back end when one is faced with highly volatile data.
