Data resilience and infrastructure design for the modern datacenter
Virtualization, storage, backup, and disaster recovery, down to the metal.
Zerto vs. Veeam CDP in the VCF 9 Era: Multi-Tenant DRaaS Is the Real Migration
VCF 9 support is only the first question. This architecture review compares Zerto, Veeam CDP, and Universal CDP for multi-tenant DRaaS as providers move from VCD to VCF Automation.
Hyper-VPrivate Cloud Is Back, but It Doesn't Mean What It Used To
Private cloud is relevant again, but not because public cloud failed. The real test is whether the platform can deliver services repeatedly, enforce policy, manage lifecycle, show cost, and recover when the control plane fails.
VMwareWhy the next virtualization strategy is likely to be mixed, workload-driven, and designed for portability
VMware is still a serious platform, but it is no longer the automatic answer to every virtualization decision. A field-driven look at mixed-hypervisor operations.
VeeamCheap to Store Does Not Mean Cheap to Recover
Recovery Point field notes on Veeam unstructured data backup, NAS archive, Instant File Share Recovery, metadata, retention, licensing, and v13.1.
VeeamImmutable Does Not Automatically Mean Recoverable
A Recovery Point field note on why immutable backups must be combined with threat detection, identity recovery, isolation, application validation, and controlled return to service.
VeeamWhat Veeam's appliance model and storage integrations change for repeatable recovery operations
Recovery Point field notes on Veeam Software Appliance, Infrastructure Appliance, storage snapshot integration, and Data Platform 13.1
VeeamThe Hypervisor Is No Longer the Center of the Recovery Strategy
A Recovery Point field note on restoring Veeam v13 VMware backups cross-platform to Hyper-V, cleaning up guest tooling, and designing DR across mixed hypervisors.
AHVHA, Metro Availability and Multi Site Design on AOS 7.3
The availability layer on Nutanix: AHV VM high availability and reservation, the async to NearSync to synchronous replication spectrum, AHV Metro Availability for zero RPO, Protection Domains versus entity centric Nutanix DR, and multi site topologies.
AHVSizing and configuring VMs on AHV 10.3 so they run fast, migrate cleanly, and work with the scheduler instead of against it
How to design VMs on AHV 10.3: vCPU and NUMA sizing, memory sizing and controlled Memory Overcommit, UEFI Secure Boot and vTPM for Windows, virtio and the Frodo path, NGT, host affinity and anti affinity under ADS, and GPU passthrough versus vGPU.
NutanixCapacity Planning and Cluster Lifecycle on AOS 7.3
Sizing to resilient capacity, reading the Planning dashboard, and expanding, shrinking, and refreshing a Nutanix cluster without breaking resiliency
AHVMonitoring and Observability AOS 7.3 / AHV 10.3 / Prism Central 7.3
A Nutanix cluster reports on itself by default. The question is whether you have routed that signal somewhere a human or a system will act on it, and
NutanixBackup, Snapshots, and Replication on AOS 7.3.
Snapshots, replication, and backup get treated as one feature on Nutanix because they share the same storage primitive. They are three different jobs with three different recovery contracts,
