    Does anyone using dm-cache?

    Does anyone use dm-cache? Hi, Has, or does, anyone use dm-cache - specifically for caching SAN based storage locally? I'm looking for a way to speed up SAN based storage on a CentOS 5.6 + XEN Hypervisor which uses iSCSI mounted SAN storage. dm-cache seems like it do the trick, but I've...

    which anti-spam solution to use on Windows 2008 + Enkompass + MailEnable?

    Thanx for the input. I had a barracuda on the server (or rather, connected to) but wasn't very impressed with it. Maybe I should have had it longer but could only get a 15day trail period on it. The main reason why don't want to use services like Postini (looks great though) is that every...

    looking for a good backup program for a small Windows network

    I honestly don't know, but I don't think it would be more than 250GB daily would be fine, but since it's incremental it should be lightweight on the LAN & NAS after the initial backup Do NAS devices offer this? 100MB/s

    looking for a good backup program for a small Windows network

    Does anyone have any experience with smaller NAS devices, i.e. something with 2 drives that can cater for 14 PC's? I've only ever worked on large SAN's & NAS devices so I'm not sure how well these small ones operate with something like 14 PC's, which will backup to it on a daily basis.

    using managed switches, instead of layer2 switches for storage network?

    If this was the case, then Netgear doesn't kwow about the ISO layer. They have managed switches which are not classed as Layer 2 switches - and where my confusion came in. They typically refer to them as "Smart Managed" or "Advanced Managed" and cost 1/3 of their "Layer 2" switches. Look here...

    looking for a good backup program for a small Windows network

    Hi everyone, I'm looking for a decent backup program to backup 13 Windows XP / 7 PC's on a LAN. For now they use Comodo Backup since the interface is easy enough for the staff to understand and manage themselves. The problem I now have is that I need better security for the backups...

    slow network throughput, how to improve?

    I want to connect these servers to a SAN/NAS. The SAN/NAS hasn't been setup yet, so I have a lot of flexibility for the protocol being used, and right now I'm experimenting with setting up CLVM on 2x iSCS SAN's for higher reliability. These servers can't take any iSCSI HBA card, nor...

    slow network throughput, how to improve?

    Well, I used SCP since these machines don't advertise NFS / CIFS on the public network. So I guess I could setup NFS / CIFS, but since I don't use those protocols, it might not help much.

    using managed switches, instead of layer2 switches for storage network?

    Hi, We only use layer2 gigabit switches and I'm considering "downgrading" to (smart / web?) managed switches instead. They generally cost about 1/3 - 1/4 of Layer2 switches and provide most of the same features of Layer2 switches. Can anyone, who has some experience (with problems /...
