In regards to the additional products, we have a skin installed and we have a product that we had custom developed for us that connects to a PostgreSQL database. We've looked at slow PostgreSQL queries causing problems and have not been able to find an issue.

Yesterday a friend of mine was asking me what I've been doing lately in my spare time. When I mentioned that I'd been doing a lot of messing around with Windows Azure, he was naturally curious. After explaining what Azure is, he asked me what the difference was between Windows Azure, a...
So a while back I covered Load Balancing for Developers, trying to help developers who don’t yet have exposure to load balancing to understand the when/where/how of load balancing.
I took a bit of a break to do some BIG-IP/TMOS V.10 work, and figure it’s about time (since I’ve be...
Over the past two weeks, I have had a number of very interesting conversations with partners, prospects, customers, and analysts that lead me to believe that a virtual machine tsunami is building which might soon swamp the legacy, horizontal system management approaches. Here is what I...
Performance and quality of service increasingly make n-port ID virtualization a critical technology underpinning what vendors and users are building on to virtualize mission-critical applications and bring best-in-class management to the virtual data center.
Flexible, fluid, and fast-evolving, software has regularly outstripped the capacity of the hardware it runs on, which by its nature is more rigid and slower to change. For most computer users that difference might mean occasionally sluggish performance or an inability to use certain fe...

A time bomb reportedly left over from the beta of VMware’s two-week-old update to ESX 3.5 and ESXi 3.5 (Update 2) caused product licenses to expire yesterday. It also happened with a patch to ESX 3.5 or ESXi 3.5 Update 2.
Not too long ago a few software engineers figured out that a server running a single application is wasteful because a significant amount of power is consumed by the server, yet only a small fraction of the processing capability is being used. Today one of the many reasons IT departmen...
Finding the appropriate virtualization technology to fit an organization's requirements depends on the needs of the environment, combined with the feature sets of each virtualization architecture. Oftentimes, organizations find that a single approach doesn't complete the picture and mu...
Currently, an overwhelming majority of organizations are migrating and consolidating servers from physical to virtual environments. While the savings of the virtualized data center are extremely compelling, there is a new set of challenges that IT staffs didn’t have to deal with in the...
