Defrag your SAN?

If you use thin provisioning then you don't defrag your SAN volumes! The free space gets defragged and you volume becomes full on your SAN, negating the thin provisioning benefits :)

Hmmmm......

The best free hypervisor

It's certainly the best option for free virtualisation of Windows VMs, and the management tools are fair better than anything from the Open Source world. We've run our production web farm on XenServer for 2 years now, and had very few problems. I do worry Citrix will forget the standard users and focus on XenApp/XenDesktop. The pace of development and bug fixing in XenServer is definitely much slower than it was a year ago.

Oh dear...

These things have been great for us over the last year, however, the box is down today. Sold too many and not got the infrastructure to hold it up? Where have I seen that before :)
