VMWare vSphere Recommended settings.

Sorry, just to answer the other questions:

What about iETD vs SCST? SCST

Writeback caching? Off due to the iSCSI failover replication

Bonding? Yes, using bonding on both iSCSI channel and replication channel (and mgmt, for what it's worth). I have two built-in gig ports and a quad-port intel NIC, so three pairs of network interfaces.

Vmware vsphere provide SaaS also can anyone explain what are the benefits of it ? Can anyone explain how cloud computing and SaaS help in development growth of the business.

SaaS Vendors

[Al-S]

The SaaS is described as software applications deployed as a hosted service and accessed over the Internet via a standard web browser. This can include basic IIS or Apache software, and this called a software service.

When dealing with the Software as a Service model , the end user subscribe to applications versus purchasing them for a period of time.

So this is related to the operating system and other software that you use to host your database and systems. And for sure you can use Open-E for creating your storage server and to store your database and other files. Also you can use virtual machine system to deal with Open-E DSS and to create many virtual servers.

Sorry, I'm a DSS newbie.

Can you let me know where i can make these changes to the confguration of my DSS lite installation, as i am experiencing quite slow response from the storage.

Many thanks.
