Virtualization / VDI / Storage
The whole industry is virtualizing.
There are a lot of people doing it wrong.
Don’t send a single PO for your new environment without having a planning meeting with DedicatedIT, first.
We’ve seen a handful of very, very sad instances: “OSH” moments.
The servers have been purchased, a significant investment in a virtualization platform has been made and the storage solution is on its way. Then, we ask one of the following questions and get a blank stare and something that sounds like “O.S.H.A.” is muttered:

- A SATA drive is capable of 65 IOPS. With six drives, are you going to have enough performance?
- Are you aware that a forklift upgrade is necessary to add any more than 1TB of storage to your SAN?
- Are you aware that the same features that you just purchased are available for free in XenServer?
- Did you order enough NICs and switch ports to handle a frontend and backend storage network?
I hate seeing people order their virutalization and storage solutions based on what the rep from one of those big, online computer retailers said, only to find out that we could have helped them do it cheaper and better.
