To solve that, Kemp provides ESP (Edge Security Pack). Thanks to ESP, an authentication form is presented to clients before accessing the web applications.

Wasabi + Veeam + StarWind: Don’t put your “backup” eggs in one basket

The golden rule for the safety of your data is as follows: always back up and distribute copies to different locations. However, the choice of backup environments can be accompanied by high-cost issues, security concerns, the risk of service interruption/termination, and so on. Storing your data in the cloud seems to be the most optimal solution. But even here you may encounter certain troubles such as the need to pay for all services, subscriptions, service plans, and configuration of a public cloud storage provider. Do you want to know about a backup storage solution that eliminates the drawbacks of costly backup processes and meets regulatory data archival and retention requirements?

Is Microsoft really considering an acquisition of Mellanox?

Carsten Rachfahl and I were working in the lab together last week. In the evenings during our end of year self-improvement hackathon. We had both seen the rumor that Microsoft was considering buying Mellanox. While we love Mellanox and Microsoft technologies I have mixed feelings about the rumor. It’s no secret that I use Mellanox cards and switches to deliver on our quest for excellence. Not because we make money from selling Mellanox but because they deliver great value for money. Their NICs and switches allow me to have 25Gbps at a cost and quality level traditional network companies won’t allow.

VMware vSphere 6.7 Network I/O Control – getting under the hood

Generally, Network I/O Control (NIOC), a traffic-specific vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS) mechanism of network bandwidth regulation, is not common knowledge for VMware vSphere administrators. Probably, the reason is that NIOC is a vSphere Enterprise Plus feature. This means that many users, basically, do not have a chance to try it out as this license is quite expensive. Anyway, I believe it is good to know about NIOC. Being introduced in vSphere 4.1, back in 2010, this technology was something like a real breakthrough. NIOC appeared when 10G networking was becoming increasingly prevalent. It became clear that thanks to high network throughput you can go with fewer network adapters in ESXi hosts. On the other hand, having such a broad channel often faced users with another challenge: distributing the massive network bandwidth between various traffic types.
