What RFID Tag is Best for Your Data Center?
BandL | 14 Apr 2010 | 0 comments

When mulling over a data center asset management system that uses RFID technology, one of the first things to consider is what flavor of tag to use. The technology underpinning both active and passive tags has advanced significantly in recent times and sussing out the capabilities of each tag type will help you pick the one that's right for you.

Active tags have a power supply so their signals are stronger than their passive cousin's. It also means they're constantly emitting a signal. That makes them easier to find than passive tags which must be in close proximity to an RFID reader before revealing their presence.

Moreover, because an active tag's signal is stronger, it can often surmount any local electromagnetic interference that would mask the signal from a passive tag. Because of that, any tagging projects that involved metal required the use of active tags. That advantage,...

Vision 2010: Symantec and Array Vendors Helping Customers "Get Thin" and "Stay Thin"
Jerry Gowen | 14 Apr 2010 | 0 comments

At our 2010 Vision Conference in Las Vegas this week customers continue to share the intense pressure they are under to better manage their existing resources and thereby cut down on storage spend. In an effort to empower these customers, on Wednesday Symantec announced enhancements to Veritas Storage Foundation that will help to alleviate some of the pain. Enterprises can now automate their storage optimization in thin environments with Symantec’s unique approach to leveraging thin provisioning technology.

Even more exciting are all the array vendors who are lined up to support Symantec's approach to thin provisioning. Symantec partners 3PAR, Compellent, EMC, Fujitsu, Hitachi Data Systems, HP, IBM and NetApp are all on board and have recently added support for Symantec's industry standard Thin Reclamation API that was announced last year. Check out Wednesday's...

The Legendary Challenge (Favorite part of Vision)
MBHarmon | 15 Apr 2010 | 15 comments
There is a legend of seven warriors.  They stood up together to represent their homeland, of the City of Kansas, in a grand challenge of skill, strength and intelligence.  A number of warriors came from across the world to compete in this grand challenge. 

Each group assembled stood together to face the challenges in front of them.  Though a number would compete in the first round only 8 would advance.
 

Each challenge began with a series of questions that the judges watched over.  During the each challenge the warriors that were gathered from around the world raced to answer their questions as quickly as they could so they might face their true task. 
 
During the first challenge each team was forced to do battle with a creature floating in the waters that filled the center of the proving grounds.   The floating beast disguised itself as land so that normally it...

Where are the scantily clad Beefcake men!!
Jeanne | 14 Apr 2010 | 1 comment

Everything is nice the food, the sessions and the people although something feels more like a sales event then a user conference. This is my 5th user conference 3 were before Altiris was Symantec  so I may be comparing apples to oranges but hey it's my blog. There are a lot more women at the event yet it is still very much a male oriented conference. Where are the scantily clad Beefcake men!! I miss the Orlando event it was easier on my schedule since it happened in the fall and getting buy in to attend an Orlando event was never as hard as getting permission to attend a Vegas event. I haven’t put my finger on what I expected but something is just not meeting my expectations.
