OpenDaylight Summit brings together users, developers and the SDN community to discuss, debate and demonstrate the latest technologies and trends in open networking.
The OpenDayLight Summit was Hands down one of the best coordinated, decorated, and fed events. Always a winner with IT pros.
After walking the floor, we sat in on some sessions to absorb as much information as we could… Which left us a little hungry
How OpenDayLight enables little guys to compete with the big networking Enterprises, and historic collaboration in the Telco Industry that OpenDayLight is driving

Subject: Heads up on QNAP before you Dive in

Message: Hi Chris ‘n’ Noah

Just listened to this week’s LAS and my ears pricked up when I heard your enthusiasm for an upcoming QNAP device you are getting for review. Thought I would drop you a line with my experience of using their kit. We have three of their rackmount TS series NAS units (2 x 8 disk and 1 x 4 disk devices). We used them for relatively inexpensive archive storage as well as an onsite backup device and an off-site replication copy. Primary storage is on DELL iSCSI SANs.

We used them with 6TB WD Reds until recently after losing data on them for around the 20th time
Quite regularly the volumes would drop offline despite the disks showing as healthy. Typically QNAP support would log into the devices and run an FSCK repair which would take several days. Sometimes this would work and sometimes it wouldn’t, requiring us to completely rebuild the units and restore data to them.
Earlier this year we replaced the first unit with a thrown together FreeNas box. We noticed an instant improvement in performance and it hasn’t faltered once. We have since replaced the other two backup devices with similar improvements and have just replaced one of the Dell iSCSI SANs with a FreeNas box which out-performs the Dell with much cheaper disks.
My current project I have just built a Proxmox cluster with a full SSD FreeNas and 10Gbe iSCSI interconnects. It boots to a Windows 2012 server desktop in 2 seconds! (Not my choice of OS but obviously it does Linux really well too).

Hope my experience of QNAP will encourage you to be cautious with any data you trust them with.

Keep up the sterling work!
Gordon

Windows 10 Launching This Summer in 190 Countries and 111 Languages

Today at the renewed Windows Hardware Engineering Community (WinHEC) summit in Shenzhen, China, I had the honor of speaking about Windows 10 and the innovation and opportunity it offers our valued partners.

Microsoft tackles China piracy with free upgrade to Windows 10 | Reuters

Microsoft Corp is making its biggest push into the heavily pirated Chinese consumer computing market this summer by offering free upgrades to Windows 10 to all Windows users, regardless of whether they are running genuine copies of the software.

The move is an unprecedented attempt by Microsoft to get legitimate versions of its software onto machines of the hundreds of millions of Windows users in China. Recent studies show that three-quarters of all PC software is not properly licensed there.

Terry Myerson, who runs Microsoft’s operating systems unit, announced the plan at the WinHEC technology conference in Shenzhen, China.

Although the GTX Titan was great for gaming, that wasn’t the sole purpose of the GPU, which was equipped with 64 double-precision cores for 1.3 teraflops of double-precision performance. Previously only found in Tesla workstations and supercomputers, this feature made the Titan ideal for students, researchers and engineers after consumer-level supercomputing performance.
