Ein erster Blick auf Windows Server 2012 R2 und Hyper-V
Lange Zeit galt Windows Server als solide Serverplattform, doch in Bereichenwie der Virtualisierung kann es nicht mehr mit den Konkurrenzprodukten
mithalten. Als Microsoft Windows Server 2012 konzipierte, bestand eines der Hauptziele darin, einen Hypervisor zu kreieren, der gleichwertig mit den
Angeboten von VMware sein sollte. Microsoft hat dieses Ziel weitestgehend erfüllt (und in einigen Bereichen sogar übertroffen), dennoch blieb weiterhin
Spielraum für Verbesserungen. Der bald erhältliche Windows Server 2012 R2 soll diese Lücken in Windows Server 2012 nun schließen.
Automatisierung für das Rechenzentrum
Die Arbeits- und Denkweise eines IT-Administrators unterscheidet sich
heutzutage erheblich von der vor einigen Jahren. IT-Profis beschäftigten
sich damals täglich mit Servern –doch diese Zeiten sind vorbei. Heute
verbringen sie die meiste Zeit mit der wachsenden Nachfrage nach
Unternehmensdienstleistungen, um Endanwender und Kunden in einer
zunehmend komplexeren Infrastruktur zu unterstützen. Zur gleichen Zeit müssen
IT-Profis einen hochwertigen Service anbieten und das unter einem strengeren
Budget als früher. Diesem Wandel liegen mehrere Ursachen zugrunde.
VMware vSphere Backups: What are you Missing?
Backups used to be easy. Just check the time stamp or the archive bit. If it changed, then back up the file. Suddenly virtualization became popular, as did server applications. The unstructured data inside files and folders found itself sharing the datacenter with all manner of applications and databases. Virtual machines (VMs) joined physical machines as the method of delivering IT services.
Data Deduplication in Windows Server 2012 R2 in Depth
Data deduplication has been around for years and comes in many forms. Most people think about expensive storage arrays when they talk about deduplication but that is certainly not the only type of data deduplication technology.
This white paper examines the data deduplication technology embedded in Windows Server 2012 R2 and the benefits it can bring to your environment. The discussion includes how it works and the possible scenarios for using Windows Server 2012 R2 data deduplication.
