Factors, Names
SuperMicro’s Dual Xeon Workstation Doesn’t Pull Any Punches
two factors the big names are having trouble with at the moment. [...] The launch of the SuperWorkstation 7046A-3 could not come at a better time for SuperMicro. doubt surrounds its primary PC workstation competitor, Sun Microsystems, leaving HP and Lenovo as the only big names in the workstation market to contend with. SuperMicro scores additional points by offering high margins and almost unlimited customisability. [...]
Labs Verdict: Nehalem Boosts Virtualisation
Performance capabilities in the Nehalem microarchitecture &mdash. whose formal name is the Intel Xeon 5500 series &mdash. will shift the limiting factors that currently govern server virtualisation from purely physical considerations of CPU, memory and network bandwidth. [...]
ECMAScript 5: The Long-Awaited Javascript Update
You could fully process the XML and end up with a list of objects containing names, addresses and phone numbers, and then ignore the addresses. Or you could manually walk through the XML data, picking out only the names and phone numbers. Or, if you're an XML guru, you would likely use a transform. [...] Using declarative programming, you would specify what the transformed XML looks like. The XML library would take the existing XML and automatically transform it into a different XML. in this case, XML that contains only names and phone numbers of the customers. [...] For example, you might have an XML file that contains a list of customers. Each customer might have a name, address and phone number. You might want just a list of names and phone numbers, skipping the addresses. [...]
Review: Windows Server 2008 R2 Prepares for Windows 7
It wasn't until I truncated the machine names to 16 characters that everything worked as expected. [...] I tested the x86-64 version of Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter Edition on a pair of HP servers - a DL360 G6 and a DL380 G6, which I used as Hyper-V nodes in a Failover Cluster configuration. I also tested R2 systems running domain controller and remote desktop services roles in virtual machines hosted from my Hyper-V pair. [...] We'd configured the domain to use the backward-compatible mixed mode functional level to which Server 2003 defaults. Our two Hyper-V host machines sported machine names of more than 16 characters, which appeared to lead to intermittent network access problems. [...]
Review: LapLink’s PCmover Tools Ease Windows 7 Migration
I could also set policies that defined which users or machines were allowed to use the policy defined in the upgrade action to limit who performed migrations and which machines could be migrated. Unfortunately, this capability isn't tied into Active Directory, so I couldn't leverage existing domain security groups or Organisational Units within the policy. [...] Unfortunately, the only way to dictate migration policy for applications, is to identify the application ID by hand or list the application name (which would not be effective if trying to exclude migration of certain versions of the same application). [...] (I had to type in login names instead.). [...]
HP ProLiant DL185 G5 Storage Server Is Capable, Quick
Installation was a breeze. It took longer to get the box into the lab, rack-mount the unit and connect power, KVM and network than to set up the first RAID 5 volume and the first share, bring it into my test domain, assign users and groups the proper privileges through my existing Active Directory PDC, and enable disk-to-disk snapshots. [...] From power-up to live took a mere 19 minutes. this degree of consumer-friendliness in an enterprise-class NAS box is uncommon. The first time the unit booted, a wizard walked me through configuration, which pretty much amounted to giving the server a name, then rebooting and logging in using the default user name and password (which I was not forced to change, but should have been in order to make it more secure). [...] 75-inch) DL160 G5 Storage Server and are available in a variety of rack-mounted or tower form factors. All have the high availability and management features that you'd expect from a server. [...]
Mono Migration Analyser tool (MoMA): Port Windows Software To Linux
But part of creating perfect software means creating robust software. Creating robust software involves many factors, such as isolating your system calls into a single library (at least with the kind of GUI-oriented, user-friendly software we want on Windows and Linux). [...]
Review: RIM’s BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express
IT and application control policies (and application distribution policies) can be applied directly to individual user accounts or to groups of users defined within BESX. This allows an administrator to craft different policies depending on the user's role within the company or other factors. [...] As with BES 5.0, with BESX I could set up a Wi-Fi policy that specifies network name, wireless security type and a preshared key (or certificates if needed), but those are set up and enforced via a separate policy. [...] As with BES 5.0, BESX pings the Windows Active Directory daily to automatically pull a list of users that can be added by an administrator to the BlackBerry domain, but BlackBerry groups must be created within BAS (not using existing Active Directory structures.). [...]
Review: Acronis Backup and Recovery 10
While features are important, deployment and usability are often the determining factors as to whether or not an business level backup product is suitable for a particular environment. This is especially true in SMB organisations that often do not have technical IT staff to manage their backup and recovery process. [...]
Microsoft IIS 7.5 Review
I found this to be a very good implementation of FTP, making it possible to quickly set up secure FTP servers and tie them to my Websites. Especially nice was the ability to easily use virtual host names for the FTP sites. All in all, the FTP implementation in IIS 7. [...]
