By Tom Trainer, StorSimple Product Marketing

Lately, I have been thinking a lot about Microsoft Azure StorSimple 8000 series and a whole lot about hybrid cloud storage and the revolutionary innovation that StorSimple has delivered to the storage market. I've also been thinking about data and how data is very much like gravity, although not in the traditional 'data gravity' sense, but more from the difficulty of accessing and moving data.

For a while now, there has been an industry notion around 'data gravity' and how data, as it grows over time (massively in many cases), tends to drive the development of additional applications and services to mine and leverage the value of data. It appears that this notion is correct thinking as it pertains to data growth in a datacenter and in the cloud; yet, as there is no slowdown of data growth in the datacenter, there remains a big gap in being able to quickly move data to the cloud from a datacenter where it can be more cost effectively and time efficiently analyzed. I believe the fundamental nature of data, as it grows and as it ages in the datacenter, is for it to become heavier, growing larger and becoming more difficult to move with each passing day and especially when it comes to moving data to the cloud. This, in its own right, can be considered as the law of data gravity.

As an example, burgeoning data stores within a datacenter grow ever more cumbersome to manage, maintain, protect and move - mainly due to cost, and strained human resources. Storing of data that is aging is an expensive proposition (i.e. manpower, expensive disk storage systems, costly and slow network backup, unreliable tape backups, on-going maintenance, and long refresh cycles). Further adding to the problem is the ever growing and critical need to rapidly create development and test (dev-test) environments for developing new applications, patching and testing, and rapid data analysis and making timely, well-informed business decisions.

There is no doubt that a business can thrive when it can obtain quick access to data and make factual, data driven, decisions that affect the top and bottom line. Take for example a national department store chain that, based on rapid data analysis, sees certain products selling faster in one geography versus another. The department store chain can make a rapid decision to move inventory quickly in order to capitalize on sales and reduce their costly inventory – this sounds great, however it is becoming increasing more difficult for business to maintain the large data stores and to quickly create the innovative dev-test environments they require. In a nut shell, the costs are going up and so is the time to create a complex test environment. In fact, we have one Fortune 500 customer that was spending a tremendous amount of money, and literally suffering though days to weeks of build-out time of a separate storage infrastructure, just to create their data analysis environment - and then they had to move their gravity bound data into the test environment.

With innovative technology in StorSimple hybrid cloud storage, we have been able to help customers not only lower the cost of storage, more effectively manage data growth, and data protection and disaster recovery, we have also been able to address the gravitation nature of their data. In essence we are able to help them tier data and move their growing aging and achievable data to the cloud at lower costs than keeping this data in the datacenter or on some unreliable media or at a far away and hard to access location, and we keep the data safe and reliably accessible so that it can be mined and analyzed. Plus, we create cloud snapshots in Azure where it can be rapidly accessed and analyzed in support our customer's business requirements for faster data analysis and business decision making.

Let's revisit the previous example where I mentioned our Fortune 500 customer who was suffering through high costs and days to weeks to build out their dev-test environment. With StorSimple in their datacenter, along with StorSimple Virtual Appliance and their data analysis applications running in Azure, they have dramatically cut their dev-test costs and build-out times from days to weeks down to mere minutes. Now, they can create as many dev-test environments as they like. T they have moved from days to weeks to create a single dev-test environment, to being able to create and run as many dev-test environments as they like, as often as they like, with fast access to near real-time data. Additionally, they can now take advantage of Azure based analytics such as eDiscovery, Data Analysis, Machine Learning and more. So, not only have we addressed the heavy gravitational nature of data – we have actually enabled real-time data to, in a phrase, achieve escape velocity from the datacenter! This is very powerful!

How do we do all of this? As I mentioned previously, it's all in the innovation built in to StorSimple. We've not only been Rethinking Enterprise Storage, we have now rethought it and are deploying enterprise-class hybrid cloud storage that bridges the datacenter and the cloud. StorSimple customers leverage our unique and industry leading data tiering and Cloud Snapshot capabilities, as well as other built-in technologies, that enable them defy the law of data gravity and to reach data escape velocity, thereby enabling them to revolutionize the way they think of their data and what they can do with it. Now, their data is more agile, retained it at a much lower cost and is more easily managed and protected. StorSimple helps give them an even greater competitive edge in their markets.

To learn how you too can overcome the gravitational nature of your data and enable it achieve escape velocity to help your organization soar, request a demo here.

I plan to write a series of blogs on data mobility, with exciting examples of how our customers are defying the gravitation nature of data and achieving data escape velocity, illustrating how their organizations and business are thriving by leveraging StorSimple and our uniquely innovative technology – be sure to check often for updates.

By Guru Pangal, General Manager, Hybrid Cloud Storage & Data Protection

Today I am excited to announce our first major software release for the StorSimple 8000 series since its launch last summer – StorSimple 8000 series Update 1. In this new release we have included StorSimple deployments in Azure Government clouds and other cloud connectivity; an SDK support for Azure PowerShell and Zone Redundant Storage (ZRS) support; and data migration tools that ease the way for customers upgrading from 5000/7000 series to StorSimple 8000 series.

From a multi-cloud support perspective, StorSimple 8000 series is now generally available in Azure Government, which is a physical and network-isolated instance of Microsoft Azure committed to meeting rigorous compliance requirements and U.S. government policies. Customers can run a commandlet to set the cloud platform on their StorSimple device to Azure Government, prior to registering their StorSimple device on the Azure Government Portal. By setting this option, all data, tiered backups and StorSimple Virtual Appliances will be stored in the Azure Government cloud, and managed through the Azure Government Portal. Setting this option also enables the FIPS mode of operation on the StorSimple device. I am also pleased to announce that the StorSimple 8000 series cryptographic modules have completed validation to the Federal Information Processing Standard - FIPS 140-2.

StorSimple 8000 series also now enables support for customers to define other cloud providers for their backend cloud storage, demonstrating our commitment to provide our customers with flexibility and choice in the cloud. Customers can use Amazon S3, Amazon S3 with RRS, and OpenStack-based clouds, such as HPCS (a cloud solution available from Hewlett-Packard that offers public, private, hybrid, and managed private clouds based on OpenStack technology), as the backend storage for their StorSimple solution. Management of StorSimple data, backups, and other management workflows will continue to be done from the Azure StorSimple service.

 Our migration tools enable our customers to upgrade from a StorSimple 5000/7000 Series solution to a StorSimple 8000 Series solution while maintaining their data in-place. Migration is easily orchestrated using a set of Azure PowerShell commandlets.

We are starting to add more automation to StorSimple and with the SDK for Azure PowerShell, administrators can use a set of StorSimple Azure PowerShell commands to automate management tasks. For a set of supported StorSimple commandlets, please visit the Azure StorSimple Cmdlets documentation webpage <a href="http://blogs.technet.com/controlpanel/blogs/posteditor.aspx/here.">here<a href="http://blogs.technet.com/controlpanel/blogs/posteditor.aspx/here.">. Additionally, StorSimple will now also include support for the Azure Zone Redundant Storage (ZRS). This redundancy option helps keep data durable by storing an equivalent of three copies of data across multiple facilities.

Since the release of the StorSimple 8000 series, customers such as BDO, a financial services firm in Australia and Textron, an aerospace and defense manufacturer in the United States, have consistently noted positive business impact. Russ Phillips, Chief Technology Officer at BDO, recently stated, "Along with our VMware cost avoidance, we're saving $500,000 [Australian dollars] in storage costs over three years, which is a large slice of our IT budget. That doesn't include buying backup tapes and the $130,000 per year it costs just to keep tapes on a shelf, not knowing whether they've been corrupted. We've delivered three times as many projects in the last six months as we did in the two years before we adopted StorSimple hybrid cloud storage." BDO has been a StorSimple customer for some time now and they continue to embrace our technology with deployment of StorSimple 8000 series solutions.

At Textron, with StorSimple, they have been able to significantly reduce storage costs and also move aging data to a more cost effective storage platform. "We've reduced storage costs by 80 percent, or $2.5 million, by moving into Microsoft Azure using StorSimple, which helped us meet our targeted IT budget reductions. We had data that was past its useful life taking up space on all our core storage platforms, and we wanted to move this older data to a cheaper storage solution. We're happy to let Microsoft innovate and bring new datacenter service offerings to the table so that we can focus on running our business," said Les Rowland, Chief Architect of Architecture at Textron. Further, Les is planning to test and use the StorSimple Virtual Appliance (SVA), which resides fully within Azure, for specific business use cases at Textron. We are happy to see customers like Textron embrace our innovations like Cloud Snapshots, Tiered Storage, and SVA and put them to use in ways that greatly help their businesses.

At Microsoft we continue to deliver innovative and important hybrid cloud storage solutions globally – and I am excited to see our customers embracing our new innovations. With StorSimple Update 1 we can now deliver even more cloud connectivity, automation, redundancy and data migration capabilities to our customers.

Hal Nunnhttp://blogs.technet.com/Hal-Nunn/ProfileUrlRedirect.ashxFrom the Customer's Perspective – Handling Explosive Data Growthhttp://blogs.technet.com/b/cis/archive/2015/01/09/from-the-customer-s-perspective-handling-explosive-data-growth.aspx2015-01-09T23:37:25Z2015-01-09T23:37:25Z
According to the Gartner Group, enterprise IT 's biggest challenge today is double-digit data growth. In fact, data is growing in enterprise storage banks at the alarming average of 40% per year, as estimated by IDC. Other industry experts place the number even higher. "Data is growing in enterprise IT departments at 50% per year," says Tam Dell'Oro, founder and president of Dell'Oro Group, a research and consulting firm.

While this is going on, the storage hardware industry giants continue to claim that the best way to deal with this issue is to keep purchasing more and more expensive Storage Area Network (SAN) arrays. This is like a car dealer telling a customer that if they can't fit enough stuff in their recently purchased car, to just buy another of the exact same car to help carry all the stuff around.

In addition, this solution no longer resonates with IT departments because:

They are already spending a very high percentage of their total IT budget on SAN storage

Too many of them have contracted a severe case of "Storage Paranoia", i.e. they know they will run out of storage at some point, but don't know exactly when

They are also experiencing "Storage Catch 22" - How do you know exactly how much new SAN capacity to buy ? If you buy too little, you run out and have a storage crisis on your hands. If you buy too much, you are accused of wasting resources and budget dollars. Either way, it's a losing proposition for the IT person in charge

Infinity Pharmaceuticals, a rapidly growing drug development company, found themselves in this exact situation. "Our amount of data is growing at a remarkably rapid pace," says Zac Saunderson, Network Engineer at Infinity Pharmaceuticals. "In our industry, we produce data at an even greater rate as we get closer to releasing product lines." In the past, Infinity primarily stored its data on a SAN in its datacenter and it also stored some data locally on file servers. Keeping up with the demands of high data growth was sapping the time and resources of their entire IT staff. As a result, they decided to take a fresh look at their IT infrastructure to discover if there were new technologies available which could help them operate more efficiently. What they found was hybrid cloud storage from StorSimple.

In 2011, Infinity decided to start using cloud technologies—specifically Microsoft Azure—for several business functions. As part of the move to the cloud, the company adopted StorSimple hybrid cloud storage. By storing infrequently accessed data in the cloud, Infinity was able to greatly reduce the amount of data that needed to be stored on their SANs, freeing up SAN space for other important IT projects. Also, StorSimple combines local enterprise storage with Azure for cloud economies and DR to reduce overall cost and complexity of traditional storage and data protection. In 2014, Infinity took part in an early adopter program for the latest generation of the solution, the StorSimple 8000 series hybrid cloud storage arrays. "We believe that there's nothing else in the market that's as easy to use with as much control as StorSimple," says Saunderson. "We're continually finding new ways to use our StorSimple devices." One key result of the test Saunderson said was, "We don't have to deal with tapes, augment our SAN, or seek outside help with storage management, so we estimate we will save about $65,000 in just the first year of using StorSimple. It's heartening to have such a reliable, complementary way to control data growth and keep storage costs from skyrocketing."

Other StorSimple customers have experienced similar results in the battle against runaway data growth. MedPlast, a rapidly growing medical device manufacturer, was suffering from acute data growth symptoms. In June 2011, MedPlast switched its data-storage environment to StorSimple hybrid cloud storage. "The concept of essentially bottomless data storage was very appealing to us," says MedPlast IT Director, Dan Streufert. With StorSimple, MedPlast can use three tiers of storage for different classes of data: solid state disks for the most frequently accessed data; hard disk drives for less frequently accessed data; and cloud storage for inactive data and off-site data protection. After a few settings are chosen by MedPlast , StorSimple automatically tiers data to the selected locations without their IT staff having to worry about it.

The company began an upgrade of its data-storage environment in August 2013 by participating in a technology adoption program for the new Microsoft Azure StorSimple 8000 Series hybrid storage arrays.

"We were very interested in this new version of StorSimple because of its tight integration with Microsoft Azure," says Streufert. "We found the combination of a new centralized management portal, enhanced alerting features, automated archiving, and new virtual appliances very compelling."

MedPlast uses StorSimple to store almost 95 percent of its data, including all of its departmental databases. The company uses deduplication and compression features in StorSimple to help minimize storage consumption. And by using the cloud snapshot feature to automate off-site data protection, Streufert's IT team eliminated the need to manage tape backups and streamlined their disaster recovery program. "When we store databases on a StorSimple array, we can snapshot it to the Microsoft Azure cloud and simplify the backup and recovery procedures for those databases," says Streufert.

Walbridge, a large global construction company, first heard about StorSimple hybrid cloud storage while attending a Microsoft regional seminar on new cloud technologies and unique solutions for enterprise storage. Microsoft recommended the StorSimple hybrid cloud storage solution to solve the company's storage problems. After comparing this advanced solution to more conventional storage arrays, the company was convinced that StorSimple was the way to go.

As AVP of Information Technology, Cynthia Weaver, puts it, "We needed to find a cost-effective new technology that could help us cope with the explosive data growth that we are experiencing. Storage space that used to last us 5 years now only lasts for 3 years. With StorSimple and Windows Azure hybrid cloud storage, we found exactly what we were looking for." The Windows Azure/StorSimple solution has saved Walbridge 65% in overall storage costs over the SAN alternative and has turned out to be a much more efficient and cost effective way to handle the company's massive data growth.

After deploying the StorSimple solution, Walbridge's backup and restore functions are 50% faster than before and the administrative overhead of data protection has been cut in half. It also provides a much faster way to recover deleted files. For example, to recover a lost file, all that is needed is the date and time the file was deleted and the file is restored in under 2 minutes, compared to 3 days using the old tape system. In addition, individual database restore times have dropped by 80%.

Clearly, there now does exist a much more efficient and cost effective way to handle run away data growth in the enterprise.

Today we are excited to announce availability of the StorSimple Adapter for SharePoint (SASP) for the StorSimple solution. The StorSimple Adapter for SharePoint brings the hybrid cloud storage capabilities of Microsoft Azure StorSimple to on premise SharePoint farm deployments. StorSimple's distinctive hybrid storage features such as dynamic capacity expansion to Azure storage, automated off-site data protection with cloud snapshots, and inline deduplication and compression combine together with SharePoint's rich collaboration and management offerings. The result is a compelling synergistic solution from Microsoft, that is fully supported and is ready to deploy into datacenters today.

The solution uses SharePoint Remote BLOB Storage to seamlessly offload BLOB content stored in SharePoint's SQL Server based content databases onto iSCSI volumes stored and managed by the StorSimple appliance. This solution relieves IO load on the SQL Server to improve end user responsiveness and enables the user data to get the benefit of data protection and disaster recovery features that are the hallmark of StorSimple. The collaborative, content-driven nature of SharePoint benefits from this solution. In partnership with Kroll Ontrack, IT administrators can search and restore individual SharePoint items without conducting a full database restore by using Ontrack PowerControls (version 7.2). All these capabilities are available and supported on SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2013.

As you are probably aware, Microsoft is becoming a "devices & services" company. Don't assume that devices refer just to phones, tablets and consumer services, because they can also be data center infrastructure products. The same way that client/server architectures reshaped enterprise computing in the 90s, device and service designs will change the future of enterprise IT. The broad interest in Software Defined Networking (SDN) shows how eager customers and vendors are to integrate on-premise machinery (both real and virtual) with centralized management and control.

I attended the Object Storage Summit last week in San Francisco. It was an excellent event with lots of good discussions about object storage - what it is, how people are using it, how is it being sold, is it a feature or a market? In short all the necessary navel-gazing that goes on when a technology is trying to break through to a mass market. One of the things that became clear to me was the importance of articulating how object storage is being used and why it is effective. Hence, this post.

Hybrid cloud storage uses object storage in the cloud. Data on-premises is uploaded to cloud object storage until it is accessed again. Many people have first hand experience using cloud object storage with file sharing apps/sites like Dropbox, SkyDrive, YouSendIt, etc, but cloud object storage it also done very effectively with enterprise-level hybrid cloud storage (HCS) like the Microsoft HCS solution. In this case, a StorSimple CiS system, which is iSCSI-based, integrates with Windows Azure Storage, which is object based.

Obviously, a data translation process turns block data into objects. This happens during a data deduplication process, when incoming data exits the input queue in a CiS system. The deduped block objects in a CiS system are called fingerprints and have object properties such as being content-addressable and immutable. From that point on, block data is managed as objects, whether it is on-premises or in the cloud. In other words, the Microsoft HCS solution is a hybrid object store for block data. There are a lot of benefits to working this way, including:

Automated off-site data protection and access. Fingerprints are protected and tracked off-site automatically. Fingerprints suppors backup, DR, archiving and capacity expansion.

Automatic replication. That's a service provided by Windows Azure Storage to protect fingerprints against cloud disasters.

Seamless scaling. Fingerprints are migrated to Windows Azure Storage, one at a time, using the same name as on premises. There is no getting lost in translation.

Metadata-based storage management. Multiple storage functions are linked to single, replicated fingerprints. Backup, DR, archiving and capacity scaling all use the same fingerprint objects. Metadata is changed instead of copying data again and again for different purposes. For instance, migrating data to the cloud is usually a metadata change that doesn't actually move data.

Data portability. Metadata plus fingerprints form a portable, deduped block data system that can be rehydrated anywhere there is a CiS system. DR is location-independent.

Deterministic, thin recoveries. DR is application-driven and only downloads the data that applications need, as they open files. There is no waste of resources in the network or at the recovery site dealing with the large amounts of data that aren't needed to recover.

When you look at solving the most vexing problems in your storage environment, especially data growth, backup data protection and the inability to test DR plans, the benefits of a hybrid object storage architecture are indeed powerful.

David Isenberg wrote his famous and controversial paper, The Rise of the Stupid Network in 1997. Its a short and historically interesting read. If you have never read it, follow the link there now. It will take you less than 10 minutes. If you want the Cliff notes version, the gist of his paper is copied below:

JUST DELIVER THE BITS, STUPID

A new network "philosophy and architecture," is replacing the vision of an Intelligent Network. The vision is one in which the public communications network would be engineered for "always-on" use, not intermittence and scarcity. It would be engineered for intelligence at the end-user's device, not in the network. And the network would be engineered simply to "Deliver the Bits, Stupid," not for fancy network routing or "smart" number translation.

Fundamentally, it would be a Stupid Network.

 I've thought about corollaries in storage for many years. Networks and storage are much different. Storage is much more tightly coupled with data management in a way that networks will never be. Data management takes intelligence to make sure everything gets put in its optimal place where it can be accessed again complying with corporate governance, legal requirements and workers expectations. Networks don't really have these sorts of long-term consequences and so apples to apples comparisons aren't very useful.

But that doesn't mean there wouldn't be ways to eliminate unnecessary aspects of storage and lower costs enormously. As soon as data protection and management could be done without needing specialized storage equipment to do the job, that equipment would be eliminated. Cloud storage changes things radically for the storage industry, especially inventions like StorSimple's cloud-integrated storage (CiS) and a solution like Microsoft's hybrid cloud storage. But StorSimple was a startup and Microsoft isn't a storage company and so it wouldn't start becoming obvious that sweeping changes were underfoot until a major storage vendor came along to make it happen.

That's where EMC's ViPR software comes in. EMC refers to it as software-defined storage, which was predictable, but necessary for them. FWIW, Greg Schulz does a great job going through what was announced on his StorageIO blog.

One of the things ViPR does is provide an out-of-band virtualization layer that Greg's blog describes that opens the door to using less-expensive, stupid storage and protecting the data on it with some other global, intelligent system. This sort of design has never been very successful and it will be interesting to see if EMC can make it work this time.

The aspects of ViPR that are most interesting are its cloud elements - those that are expected initially and those that have been strongly hinted at, including:

It runs as a VSA (virtual storage appliance), which means it is a storage controller that runs as a virtual machine, including as a virtual machine in the cloud.

It will include access to object storage as a back end, which is how "real" storage works in the cloud, unlike AWS' EBS

It can use cloud APIs, which is obviously a cloud-thing

If EMC wants their technology to run on the cloud, and it's clear they do, they needed all three of these things. For instance, consider remote replication to the cloud - how would the data replicated to the cloud be stored in the cloud? To a piece of hardware? No. Using storage network/device commands? No. To what target? The backend to a hypothetical EMC VSA in the cloud uses object storage services and cloud APIs. There is no other way to do it. They could have a VSA that uses iSCSI to a facility like EBS, but that would be like putting the contents of a container ship on rowboats. So, a VSA that accesses object storage services using cloud APIs is the only way. It is a clear signal that ViPR will be their version of CiS. They probably won't call it that, but that's beside the point.

The important thing is what happens to data protection after ViPR is made fully cloud-capable? Once you start using cloud services for data protection, there are a few things that immediately become obvious:

You don't need separate data protection equipment any more because you are using a cloud service

You can actually use incremental-forever data protection schemes

You want to use primary dedupe and compression to reduce the amount of cloud traffic required

You maintain a hybrid cloud metadata system that identifies all data whether its on premises or in the cloud

Those are all things that hybrid cloud storage from Microsoft does today by the way, but that's beside the point too. What's interesting is what will happen to EMC's sizeable data protection business - how will that be converted to cloud solutions and what value can they add that enhances cloud storage services? The technologies they have available for hybrid cloud data protection are already mostly in place and there will undoubtedly be a transformation for Data Domain products in the years to come, but these are the sorts of things they need to figure out over time.

It's going to be a slow transition for the storage industry, but EMC has done what it usually does - it made the first bold move and is laying the groundwork for what's to come. It will be interesting to watch how the rest of the storage industry responds.

I am genuinely excited by the surprising news this morning about Dell's acquisition of Enstratius. I don't have any first hand knowledge of the deal or Enstratius' technology, but the company has an excellent reputation and its CTO George Reese has been providing excellent, provocative thought leadership about cloud computing for a long time. Congratulations to both Dell and Enstratius for making this milestone decision.

What I know is that Enstratius develops cloud management technology that allows customers to manage cloud installations that span cloud boundaries, whether those clouds are private or public. They have built up a broad list of cloud partners that includes Windows Azure, Rackspace, AWS and others, which undoubtedly made them compelling to a company like Dell that wants to give their customers a lot of viable options. Giving customers management tools that span different cloud vendors is great for customers who are concerned about being locked in by one of the major cloud platforms. In the long run, it will make all cloud service providers work harder to attract and keep customers - and that competitive drivers make better industries and markets. Putting the technology within Dell should make it much more broadly available, assuming Dell will invest more in Enstratius. I suspect Dell will want to accelerate the business they acquired, just as Microsoft is accelerating our StorSimple business. It's a great recipe for success - these kinds of deals can work extremely well, something I have witnessed first hand a couple of times in my career. It's not that Enstratius couldn't have grown themselves over time, but this acquisition will compress that time by a few years.

I believe this deal is considered to be strategic for Dell - something they can build a business around - as opposed to kind of deal that fills a spot in the company's product line. That should be energizing for the people at Enstratius, who will find themselves travelling even more than they were previously - something they might not think is possible. Get ready George, you just went worldwide in a way that is difficult to imagine.

Last week Pivotal came out of stealth mode and announced themselves to the world. It got a fair amount of attention because Paul Maritz is the guy there and because the company is being built on jettisoned technology assets that had been previously acquired by EMC and VMware. It was also interesting that General Electric was involved by making an investment in the company. Today it was reported that VMware was also selling off WaveMaker, but not to Pivotal, which begs the question - why not? I suspect it's because the ROI for VMware is deemed to be better selling it to somebody else as opposed to adding another ingredient to Pivotal's melting pot.

The question you always need to ask about any new venture is when it is going to start making money and how much of it they will be able to make and how they are going to take their products and services to market. Pivotal is no exception, unless you include the fact that they have a lot of overhead in people trying put all these disparate pieces together. Some see the amassed talent as great talent, but a CFO sees it as a whopping huge payroll that isn't being offset by anything right now. There are no existing product lines to leverage and there isn't even a new product line that can carry the company through it's development efforts. In other words, it's a science project made of plausible components that could possibly work.

So I'm sticking my neck out, but not very far, by saying I don't think there is a light at the end of the tunnel for Pivotal. Just because there are a lot of smart people, it doesn't mean there is a business. You may ask "What about GE, doesn't their endorsement mean something?" Yes, it certainly does. GE is making a big push to be a software company that tackles large scale data processing for various verticals they have a vested interest in such as health care (those Hugo Weaving ads are fantastic), manufacturing, energy and others I can't think of right now. Getting visibility for their business is probably well worth the effort and I'm not talking about publicity. As an investor in Pivotal they will get to see more technology from more ecosystem companies than they might have otherwise. It's a good move for a company that wants to increase its software business.

I could be wrong, but that's how I see it.

Then there is the whole problem of disaster protection and backup for big data. If the business becomes dependent on big data processes - especially the predictable/programmable/instantaneous type, there has to be a way of making it work again when humpty dumpty has a great fall. This is where the brute force analysis of hybrid data portability falls apart

Enterprise customers are increasingly looking at cloud storage as a way to leverage the benefits of cloud economics and agility without giving up performance and improving data protection  capabilities. The Microsoft-StorSimple answer is to take a hybrid approach to allow you to extend existing on-premises storage investments while getting the strong benefits of the cloud.

Sometimes it helps to look at things from the other end of the telescope. So instead of thinking about longer latencies, think about how SSDs are being used in the hybrid storage model (not to be confused with hybrid cloud) where the most active data is stored on SSDs and the rest of the data is stored on rotating disks. Now add enterprise cloud storage to the mix and consider using it for the opposite end of the activity spectrum – storing dormant, unstructured data.

I just finished reading a good post on Wikibon by the "other" Scott Lowe where he discusses the differences between vSphere and Hyper-V and what the adoption rate of Hyper-V will likely be. He delves into the cost comparisons being made by both VMware and Microsoft as well as broadly touching on the differences of their management approaches. I encourage people to read his article, it's not that long, but the take away is that he thinks Hyper-V is catching up to vSphere in functionality, that vSphere is better suited for enterprise installations and that pricing pressure will impact the margins of both companies.

Smart CIOs and IT leaders will try to find ways to run both hypervisors in their data centers. For starters, the only way to future proof your data center from vendor lock-in is to have skills in competing technologies that can replace each other. Moreover, shrewd negotiators know the most powerful word in their vocabulary is "no". But no doesn't mean no if you can't actually implement the changes you decide to make and that takes a commitment and that has costs associated with it.

Freedom from lock-in isn't free, neither is negotiating leverage. It's prudent to avoid painting your organization into a corner and having to deal with being stuck in a place where the only way out is long and expensive.

MA Farleyhttp://blogs.technet.com/MA-Farley/ProfileUrlRedirect.ashxHow Hybrid Cloud Storage offloads storage management to the cloudhttp://blogs.technet.com/b/cis/archive/2013/01/08/how-hybrid-cloud-storage-offloads-storage-management-to-the-cloud.aspx2013-01-09T02:02:00Z2013-01-09T02:02:00Z

As the saying goes, "when you're up to your neck in alligators, it's easy to forget that the initial objective was to drain the swamp."

IT professionals are plenty familiar with compelling interruptions that need to be dealt with quickly, but keep them from getting high-priority work done. That's one of the reasons IT leaders are looking for SAAS solutions - to decrease the potential for technology alligators to delay the projects they are being measured on.

A big advantage of SAAS is offloading the infrastructure needed to run applications in-house. In a traditional data center, application workload changes may require infrastructure changes that have secondary impacts that disrupt productivity on other applications and systems. SAAS circumvents both primary and secondary infrastructure impacts by isolating the application and it's infrastructure on an external site. The SAAS provider keeps customers up to date on the newest capabilities but also manages the bug fixes, workloads and all the infrastructure elements needed. That leaves a lot more time for the IT team to focus on delivering the technology solutions that business leaders want. SAAS is a terrific solution, but there are many applications - especially line of business applications - that are not available or do not otherwise fit the SAAS model. The whole concept of Hybrid IT is based on this reality. SAAS works great for some things but not others.

Hybrid Cloud Storage is similar to SAAS in several ways. It is an infrastructure enabler that transfers time-consuming management tasks, processes and their secondary impacts to the cloud. Like SAAS, there are some applications Hybrid Cloud Storage is not a good solution for, such as low latency transaction processing, but there are many where it works extremely well.

Managing storage capacity growth is a great example of a time consuming storage management process that data center managers know well. As application workloads scale, the available storage capacity is consumed, threatening the ability to meet service levels. Storage administration is largely an exercise in planning and implementing the response to this endless cycle. Sometimes it involves upgrading the capacity in arrays and re-balancing workloads, sometimes it involves migrating workloads with virtualization technologies, sometimes it involves acquiring additional arrays and sometimes it involves all of these. My friends at 3PAR used to call this Storage Tetris. The process becomes increasing difficult over time until there are few options left but to acquire additional arrays, along with the associated costs of data center footprint/power and data protection they impose. When you couple this dynamic with the limited life-span of most storage products it's easy to see why storage consumes such a large part of the IT team's attention and budget.

Hybrid Cloud Storage circumvents this capacity-growth cycle by uploading dormant data to the cloud and freeing capacity on-premises for new, active data and workloads. This is a fundamentally different approach than traditional storage where data consumes primary storage capacity regardless of whether it is being used or not. Dormant, unstructured data is very difficult to manage with traditional storage, but is automatically and transparently managed by Hybrid Cloud Storage. At some point the cloud storage containers used with Hybrid Cloud Storage run out of capacity too but they have scaling limits that are many times larger than on-premises arrays. That means capacity management in the cloud is done far less frequently and because it happens in the cloud it does not have secondary impacts on other applications and systems on-premises. Tetris is much easier when there is a lot of space to work with and when you don't have to worry about upsetting other workloads in the mix.

Putting data on Hybrid Cloud Storage also transfers the associated costs of footprint and power to the cloud. For some corporate data centers, this isn't that big a deal, but for others it's critical to get more done with the facility limitations they have. Also, when you consider the additional data protection hardware that is typically needed to backup the data that is stored on new arrays, the ability to move backup data to the cloud is also an important secondary benefit of Hybrid Cloud Storage (as opposed to being a secondary problem).

I will have other blog posts soon that discuss the significant changes that Hybrid Cloud Storage brings to data protection in much greater detail.

If you are considering a Hybrid Cloud Storage solution using StorSimple Cloud-integrated
Storage (CiS) and Windows Azure Storage, my advice is that you plan to use
Geo Replicated Storage. The additional 28% price premium for Geo Replication is
a small amount to pay for remote replication with automated failover. If you
compare the cost for Azure's Geo Replication with other forms of data
replication that conservatively double the cost of storage, it is an incredible
bargain.

The term "hybrid cloud" has been defined many different ways. At Microsoft hybrid cloud refers to data center functionality that spans on-premises and cloud service boundaries. At least that's how I'm understanding it now after having been part of the company for a few weeks. To clarify my perspective, my appreciation of cloud is slotted narrowly into IAAS functionality and the things that are likely to appeal to data center types. In this context hybrid cloud services will augment the things that customers are already doing on-premises with the cloud offloading tasks and workloads that are under-served on-premises. Where data center operations are concerned, the cloud represents a new kind of enterprise plug-in. If you think this sounds like poppycock, keep reading because I'll tell you how it is already being used this way every day by a growing number of companies.

One of the misunderstandings people have about enterprise cloud storage is that it must be similar to consumer file sharing apps like Dropbox, Box or Microsoft's own SkyDrive. To begin with, much of enterprise storage works on block processes and if you are going to offload enterprise storage you need to provide block-level functionality. As for file sharing, data center managers are not looking to share corporate data as much as they are to secure it. BTW, I fully expect to get comments here about the great virtues of file sharing for enterprises. Rest assured, there are probably few companies who use the cloud for file sharing as much as Microsoft does internally with SkyDrive and SharePoint, but that's not what I'm discussing here in this post.

StorSimple developed technology called Cloud-integrated Storage (CiS) that is implemented as a SAN appliance that acts like a hybrid cloud storage plug-in for enterprise storage. CiS packages and indexes blocks along with accompanying metadata and stores them in the cloud. These block packages may be generated by snapshots or as archives that need to be stored for an extended period of time or as dormant unstructured data that is no longer being accessed and can be vacated to reclaim on-premises storage capacity. Different customers use this technology every day because their backup systems are under-serving them, their archiving processes are too cumbersome and they don't want to use tier 1 storage for data that is no longer active. The thing that is a little bit hard for some to understand about CiS is that the data transfers to the cloud are all automated, requiring no effort on the part of system and storage administrators.

The other key to understanding the plug-in nature of CiS is that the ability to access and download data from cloud storage is also transparent because data in the cloud is either viewable in an online file system or mountable as a snapshot the same way local snapshots are mounted for restoring older versions of files. I'll explain how that all works in future blog posts, but for now I'll say it's a function of the metadata system in CiS.

Cloud-integrated Storage really is different. It breaks the mold for enterprise storage by seamlessly integrating on-premises enterprise storage with Windows Azure Storage services and the incredibly valuable Geo Redundant Storage it provides. CiS doesn't do everything you might want it to, but the things it does well are revolutionary.

In powerpoint, I like how when I open up a PPT presentation in IE, it loads it inline and I can page through the presentation and see the exact url to individual slides. So if I want to show someone else just one slide, I can point directly at that slide.
I couldn't figure out how to do this in Word, so I asked around today and found out the answer[1]. The short answer is that linking within Word works the same as inline HTML HREFs, i.e. "http://mysite/myfolder/mydoc.doc#mylink". The long answer:
1. In the part of the doc (mydoc.doc) to which you want to link, select some text and go to Insert | Bookmark2. Name the bookmark (say "mylink")3. Save it up somewhere on a website4. In Word, open the HTML file from which you want to add the link5. Go to Insert | Hyperlink6. Under "Link To", choose "Existing file or web page"7. Browse to the mydoc.doc8. Click "Bookmark" and you'll see the link that you specified, mylink. Select it and save the file.
One interesting note: I tried to find instructions on this in Word's help, but in the topic about inserting a link to a bookmark, it didn't mention how to insert that link from outside of a word doc. So I clicked on "No" under "Was this help topic useful?" and sent in a comment. Having seen the back-end side of the system, I absolutely recommend that anyone who has any complaints about help in Office send in their comments, either when reading help within Office or on their website.
And although the "No, this wasn't useful" is the most actionable feedback, I'm sure those folks would appreciate a "Nice job" once in a while if a help topic answers your exact question.
[1] Chris Pratley was one of the people who responded to my request. I got weak-kneed when I saw his name in my inbox. And I put a dorky "Love your blog, and customers do too!" in white font on a white background in my response just to be silly, I wonder if he actually saw it... :-)
Lol.. nothing wrong with silliness - It is almost Friday after all ;)
Next question (and im guessing no) is there any way to link to a part of a document if you dont have write access to it e.g. if i want to link directly to chapter 3 of the exchange deployment guide.
Now THAT would be cool.
Well, the reason I was looking into this in the first place was so that we could do this for our white papers =)
I don't know of a way to do it without write access to the target doc, but I can tell you that it's something we plan on doing sometime this year. One thing I'm not 100% sure about is if it will be done retroactively for previous whitepapers, but the main takeaway point here is that we know the massive whitepapers are a bit much to bite off at one time, and so segmenting content by chapters is where we're going from here.
And we're going to have a draft of a chapter of an upcoming whitepaper available for preview sometime in the next few weeks too, I'll link to it once it's up.
That would be great :)
I'll keep 'em peeled ;)
I had to do this a few years ago for a "knowledge base" for a company. The KB was a small amount of HTML/ASP that linked to PPT diagrams that worked as outlines to visually "map" the word docs. Clicking on a hotspot in the PPT needed to take you to the appropriate section of the word doc.
They needed all of this so that the completely non-technical manager could do all of the KB's content management via Word and PowerPoint via a shared network on the web server.
ah... the things people will do to keep from buying a CMS...
Another Microsoft blogger that I should have known about before: K.C.

Fatal Accident Near Lincoln on I-95
TOWNSHIP T2-R8 - A car accident Sunday morning near Lincoln on I-95 has left five injured and one dead.
Maine State Police say 19-year-old Tyler Anderson, of Van Buren, was having a conversation with a passenger in the vehicle when he accidently hit the rumble strip on the side of the road.
Alarmed, officials say Anderson overcorrected the steering wheel, causing the car to roll over several times into the median.
Anderson was partially ejected from the vehicle, while another passenger was fully ejected.
The Lincoln Fire Department had to use the jaws of life in order to free a passenger from the vehicle.
Life flight was called in, however it was too late for Anderson. He died at the scene.
The five other passengers are being treated at Penobscot Valley Hospital in Lincoln for non-life threatening injuries.

RightChange: Boehner's "Plan B" Gets a Quick RejectionTue, December 18, 2012
When Charles Krauthammer argued that Obama's fiscal cliff plan was "nothing but a power play," we agreed. After he demanded Republicans give him everything he wanted and Harry Reid refused to vote on everything Obama wanted, it was clear that Obama and the Democrats wanted Americans to go over the cliff so that they could blame Republicans. Today's news is just another example of how unserious Obama and his fellow Democrats are about a deal and how intent they are on dividing Republicans.
Speaker Boehner laid out a plan that gave President Obama all of the tax increases he wanted in exchange for, well..nothing:
"Mr. Boehner said the plan would include legislation to extend current income-tax rates for all people earning $1 million or less a year, mirroring the latest offer from Republicans to the White House over the weekend. The speaker's "Plan B," as he called it, was immediately rejected by the White House and Senate Democrats.
An aide to Mr. Boehner said the legislation, which was announced at a closed-door meeting of the House Republican Conference Tuesday morning, was designed to be a "precautionary measure to ensure taxes don't rise for most Americans on Jan. 1."
It doesn't include any spending cuts to entitlement programs such as Medicare or Social Security, the aide said, noting that House Republicans have already approved legislation that would shift the $55 billion in defense cuts scheduled to start in January to other areas of domestic spending in the federal budget."
This plan was actually endorsed by Pelosi back in May, which speaks volumes and the fact that the White House immediately rejected the offer backs up Krauthammer's claim the Obama's sole intent is to divide and conquer Republicans. The bigger issue at hand is what is going on with Republicans. Did the Obama smack down in November not teach them anything?
They need to band together and call Obama out for what he's doing. They need to go on the Today Show every morning and say, "The President's tax hike funds our government for four days. We'll go off the cliff before we agree to that. Sorry we're not sorry." If the President were as serious about a compromise as he says he is, he would have accepted the Republicans first offer. It's clear he's not, so it's time for Republicans to stand up and fight for something a little better than an automatic tax hike on the taxpayers who create jobs for our economy.

Home run, speed specialists can be helpful in points leagues
Updated: July 16, 2012, 3:23 PM ETBy AJ Mass | ESPN.com
If you haven't figured it out by now, allow me to once again remind you that points leagues are not quite the same animal as a category-based fantasy baseball scoring format.
Players like Ryan Braun and Andrew McCutchen who have excelled across the board in all categories are going to be highly coveted regardless of the way we decide to determine our standings. But when it comes to the one-trick ponies, players who have a ton of power with little to offer in the way of speed ...

Kate Winslet Looks Ahead
- Photo: Harper's Bazaar1 of 7
Growing up, Kate Winslet thought of herself as neither a screen siren nor a great beauty. Now, with both an Oscar and a Lancôme contract, she reflects on what happens after you get what you want.
Read excerpts from Kate's interview below, then pick up the latest issue of Harper's Bazaar, available on newsstands.
On being no stranger to nude scenes:
"I'm used to people openly discussing my t---. If people are noticing my boobs in a movie and saying they do what real boobs do, then that's great I'll be 34 in October. I can't keep getting away with it. There was so much [nudity] in 'The Reader' because the story required it, but people have seen enough of my bum and my boobs. I have to put them back."

1999 SAAB 9-3 • 160,000 miles
I have a -1999 Saab 9-3. Like many posts. I have the problem with the blower motor constantly running with having to pull the 30a fuse to turn it off. I purchased the blower motor sensor to replace but I can't find it on the car. I removed the glovebox and looked no luck. I even went under the cowls to the blower and the closest thing I could find is the white plug next to the blower motor which from the top looks exactly like the part I bought but when I removed it its different than the big green resistor I bought. (The plug and wires for exactly though) I'm stuck. Please help

Varvara Lepchenko played her third-round match at the Australian Open on the big stage.
Like the top-ranked men's and women's players — Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams, she played her third-round match on Saturday in Rod Laver Arena.
Unfortunately for Lepchenko, she lasted only two sets and 83 minutes on the main show court in Melbourne.
Sixth-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska continued her early-round dominance at the first Grand Slam event of the 2015 season, dispatching Lepchenko, seeded 30th, 6-0, 7-5, in a morning match on Day 6 of the tournament.
The Polish star won 28 of the 38 points played in the first set, compiling 11 winners while Lepchenko...

- Good Feeling Accurate Bow Review by bbibey
Quality Price Value
The first thing I noticed about the Prime Alloy was how well balanced the bow was. Then after shooting the bow I really thought the draw cycle was amazing with an awesome backwall. The bow is a bit pricy but then again you get what you pay for.

- A great bow with smooth, accurate, performance. Quite forgiving as well. Review by Griffco
Value Quality Price
The design of the parallel cams and adjusting roller cable guard system make cam lean minimal and tuning easy with a drop away rest. The Prime bows have a very smooth draw with a solid back wall. I love to shoot this bow. With it's 33.25 A.T.A. length and 29" draw cam give me the perfect anchor points for comfortable shooting. The draw specific cams are perceived as a marketing disadvantage but I think if you are experienced enough to know your draw length it is well worth it to get such a precision crafted bow. Also the over-molded grip fits my hand well and is a great advantage in the cold weather, (after you've shoveled a path to your targets!) Yes, I love to shoot this bow.

Jesse Benton will eventually be indicted for his part of the bribery scandal as it is a crime that takes two people to commit. Now that Sorenson is convicted, he will sing like a canary.
Seems kind of silly to resign for.. Or rather, I mean if that is what it takes to get a resignation from the McConnell camp, what the heck is Mitch still around for?
Seems kind of like worrying about removing a tick from a charging Grizzly Bear.
Ron Paul's organizations have always been scams to enrich himself, family members and cronies. Jesse Benton has profited significantly. His 'protection' is he married into the Paul family.
I don't understand why McConnell kept Benton after the "hold my nose" comment. If he'd dumped him then, McConnell wouldn't be facing this fallout now.
Mitch McConnell is very popular in this country; he's almost as popular as syphilis.
Why resign if all those rumors are false Jesse? Maybe just trying to distance yourself from a failing candidate?
A political operative (any party) resigns, citing false rumors and political motives by his enemies.
The irony is so thick you could cut it with a knife.
Gee, someone resigning because they were innocent. Imagine that.
Benton is absolutely linked to Iowa scandals of Republican candidates paying campaign staffers big bucks to change their support for them, disguising the money and its delivery---the cash bribe is the incentive to change support to other candidates.
McConnell's guy Benton was named as directly involved by Sorenson, who had the book thrown at him.
Rachel Maddow had the entire story and the evidentiary documentation, papers, taped conversations.
SO that brings up the question did Rand Paul offer money to McConnell's Benton when the guy goofily said, with stars in his eyes and a cheese head grin--- "sorry, Rand Paul--I wish I was with your campaign, wink, nod, and plan to be there----oh, Mitch, just kidding. Sorry you heard that, Mitch,"
Now if only McConnell would resign, this country would be in a lot better shape. Mitch doesn't care at all about the USA, he only cares about himself. History will not be kind to Mitch.
McConnell ..... Will LOSE.
Когда кто-то подал в отставку — не потому, что слухи не соответствуют действительности. Макконнелл это дерьмо Крик. Республиканцы не будет пересдать Сената и Кентукки будет иметь новый сенатор, демократ, который также является красивая женщина.
Now is McConnell would step down, the country might get something done.
I gave my 9 year old a Thompson sub-machine gun. The Gestapo ATF said it was illegal to possess this gun. But I got one and my little Judy and I are going to go out in the yard and she will learn how to shoot. First we will use Mr. Snookums as a target. He hate loud noises and will run away. It is OK to use Mr. Snookums as a target because everyone knows that cats have 9 lives.Then Hot Dog, the mutt that lives next door and who barks at.3 in the morning will be next. When little Judy turns 10 I am going to buy her a Grenade Launcher. "Suffer the little children" is wrong. It should be "Make the little children suffer".
It's to my thinking Mitch McConnell knew a little about that bribe in the Paul Campaign an got him a guy who would do absolutely anything he was told, because they had a Secret About him that they could use against him if not! Yep, I'm talking about Black Mail. Why else would a guy to to work for Mitch McConnell when he hated him so much he was caught on Audio tape saying I will have to hold my nose while working for the guy? You don't work for some one you hate, UNLESS their was some thing like black mail or a very good bribe included in the package! He poison now, an I wonder who he will take down with him considering he doesn't like McConnell much.

She's gearing up to hit the road for a big tour next month, and Demi Lovato is definitely in an emotionally healthy place in her life these days.
The "Skyscraper" singer found strength by looking to Kim Kardashian's example, noting that being stick-thin isn't necessarily the ideal anymore.
Her personal struggles with eating disorders, substance abuse and self-harm are well-documented, but these days Demi Lovato is in much happier spirits.
The "Heart Attack" songstress posted four photos from her MTV Video Music Awards appearances over the years, and she told her Facebook fans that she's finally in a healthy place.
It's the happiest place on earth, so it's no wonder Demi Lovato chose Disneyland to party it up for her 22nd birthday on Wednesday (August 20).
Joined by her boyfriend Wilmer Valderrama, the "Heart Attack" songstress checked into a Disneyland Resort hotel carrying an overnight bag and looking fabulous.
She definitely prefers to keep her life as uncomplicated as possible, so it's no wonder Demi Lovato decided to come clean about her Twitter unfollow of Selena Gomez on "Watch What Happens Live" last night (August 14).
The "Skyscraper" singer chatted with Andy Cohen during the dreaded "Plead the Fifth" segment in which she was asked three questions and allowed to pass on one of the queries if needed.
Teeny boppers all over the country were thrilled to see their favorite stars flock to the 2014 Teen Choice Awards earlier tonight in Los Angeles, CA and we're bringing you all the action from tonight's main event (August 10).
He spent years as one third of the Jonas Brothers and now Nick Jonas is getting ready to drop another album with the help of his good friend Demi Lovato.
The "Who I Am" crooner told E! News that he's thrilled to have the "Heart Attack" hottie on one of his forthcoming tracks.
Adding another impressive title to her resume, Demi Lovato landed a deal with Skechers women's line beginning in the fall and running through 2016.
Robert Greenberg, the brand's CEO, told press, "We're very excited to have a young singer, like [past faces] Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and Carrie Underwood."
She's always one to speak her mind, and Demi Lovato puts it all on the line for her new single "Really Don't Care."
The "Heart Attack" hottie looks fierce in the newly-unveiled cover art, showing off her toned tummy in a silver bra top with a see-through jacket.

Start by boarding a comfortable and air conditioned aircraft and heading out to the active volcano. You'll see lush rain forests and stark black lava flows in contrast. Your pilot navigates through columns of steam and smoke rising from the landscape (lava flow is viewing is not guaranteed and is constantly changing). Land and enjoy the scenic drive to the zipline location. You'll enjoy this 8 line zipline through waterfall country and nearly 2 miles of tropical river gorges. After ziplining enjoy a deli style picnic lunch. (Transportation from major Kona side hotels is available for this tour.)
