Check out two new technical reports for security in clustered Data ONTAP!
Month: May 2015
TECH::Backing up through the years – The road to NetApp AltaVault
Data protection has been a sore spot for IT organizations for decades, sometimes ignored or neglected until absolutely necessary. Of course, by then, it's too late.
TECH::NetApp at OpenStack Summit 2015 – Where do I find session recordings?
OpenStack Summit 2015 in Vancouver came and went last week and NetApp's OpenStack team was well represented. See what sessions are available on YouTube!
LDAP::Distinguishing Distinguished Names in LDAP – Part 4
In LDAP, objects are stored in a hierarchical structure, much like folders in a file system. Each object has a unique identifier so that LDAP queries can find them quickly. These identifiers are known as "distinguished names." But what are they used for?
TECH::DevOp(inion) – Are we asking IT and developers to become Skynet?
Is DevOps really just a way to get employees to do more work?
TECH::Multiprotocol NAS, Locking and You
Where does file locking fit in to multiprotocol NAS? How do you properly test file locking?
TECH::Docker + CIFS/SMB? That’s unpossible!
Recently, I've been playing with Docker quite a bit more, trying to educate myself on what it can and cannot do and where it fits in to NetApp and file services/NAS. I wrote a blog on setting up a PaaS container that can do Firefox over VNC (for Twitter, of all things), as well as one on using NFS in Docker. People have asked me (and I have wondered), what about CIFS/SMB? Now, we could totally do this via the Linux container I created via mount -t cifs or Samba. But I'm talking about Windows-based CIFS/SMB.
TECH::Using NFS with Docker – Where does it fit in?
Recently, I wrote a post on DataCenterDude.com on how to use Docker to create the ultimate subtweet via a container running VNC and Firefox. That got me thinking... as the NFS TME for NetApp, I have to consider where file services fit into newer technologies like Docker. What use cases might there be? Why would we use it?
LDAP::Schemin’ with schemas – Part 3
This post is part 3 of the new LDAP series I’ve started to help people become more aware of what LDAP is and how it works. Part one was posted here: What the heck is an LDAP anyway? This post will focus on the schema portion of LDAP.
TECH:: To flow or not to flow…
As a Cisco Champion, we are asked to write a blog for the Cisco blogs. As a NetApp employee, I decided to merge the worlds and talk a bit about flow control and clustered Data ONTAP.
