As we all know, Natural Disasters like storms, hurricanes, floods will occur irrespective of whether they are predicted or not. But the disaster of this scale is not an everyday scenario, and when it occurs it might lead to shut down of your business May be temporarily or permanently.

All these natural disasters we have discussed above are some striking examples, but there are a lot of other possibilities like human errors, hardware or system malfunctions, software corruption, malware attack, etc.

There is a constant possibility for any of the above-mentioned occurrences. There are chances that something can go wrong in your business and cause disruptions. Hence, we need to makes sense to prepare for them.

Here for this situation, businesses need a Backup & Disaster Recovery (BDR) Plan in place to get back on track when so

Over the past decade or more IT infrastructure has changed drastically. As virtualization rise, organizations have shifted the way business-critical workloads are provisioned, managed, and housed in the infrastructure. Rather of configuring a server workload in a 1:1 fashion with one workload per physical server, virtualization has brought about the ability to run many software workloads on a single set of physical hardware.

As the advancements in processing, network, & storage power, virtualization has allowed businesses to take advantage of the evolution in CPU processing power across the entire landscape more efficiently & take advantage of the advancements in hardware. Hence, there may be cases where a physical server is still desirable for some workloads.

Let’s take a look at the important differences between a physical server and a virtual machine.

VMware HA and DRS Explained

Virtualizing an infrastructure and running virtual resources to serve out business-critical workloads having many great advantages. As we can say VMware vSphere, it provides many notable features and capabilities that deliver high-availability in the environment as well as automated workload scheduling to ensure the most efficient use of hardware and resources in a  vSphere environment.

Here we will talk about two core cluster-level features of vSphere in the enterprise – vSphere HA and DRS. You have seen both of these referenced along with running vSphere in the enterprise.

There are many questions in peoples mind like, what is vSphere HA and DRS? What do they do? How do you benefit by running both in your vSphere environment?

Let’s take a look at a basic introduction to HA and DRS in VMware vSphere and see how they compare and the benefits of using them.

VMware vSphere Clusters

Traditional Backups are not enough. Why?

1. All of us Knows that data is a critical asset and its growth is exponential. You can think about an unfortunate situation where your system crashes & you no longer have access to your business-critical data. The cause for this is any from malware attacks, accidental file deletion or even natural disasters. But it has the same consequence, i.e., halted business operations leading to reputation & revenue loss.

2. The events of the previously mentioned situations, basic information should be accessible to accomplish business congruity. You can secure your information by different methods yet Backup and Disaster Recovery assumes a vital part in information assurance – a fundamental fa

4. Difference between vSphere Replication and Backups

vSphere Replication

1. VMware vSphere Replication (VR) exists since 2012. Its latest version is 8.2 for vCenter/ESXi 6.7.

2. vSphere Replication can be used independently or included in the VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM) for disaster recovery plans.

3. vSphere Replication license is included in vSphere Enterprise Plus, while SRM is an independent product and is a per VM or per CPU (as part of vCloud Suite Enterprise) license.

Optimize Performance And High Availability By Using Two Internet Links

With the advent of technologies that enhances the performance and productivity, the usage of such technology has always been increasing rapidly over the time scale. There are many such examples in IT Hardware. However, a just investing in highly capable hardware is not sufficient. Some of the prominent OEMs have been spending millions of dollars in building some amazing functionality but sadly they are rarely used.

This article highlights two such functionality and its proper configuration to reap the real benefits and justify the investment.

1. Load Balancing: 

With the increasing number of users, traffic and volumes of transactions that causes tremendous stress (load) on the overall network. If

What is Firmware?

Firmware or microcode is fundamentally a set of instructions needed for specific devices to perform the tasks that they were made for. In simpler words, it is the programming that is responsible to run the machine. Unlike software, the firmware isn't made to perform specific functions on the hardware, rather it is utilized to complete the core functions of the hardware...

Why Do We Need Firmware Update?

As firmware completes the essential elements of hardware, firmware updates bring some alterations in the program, which are important to empower the corresponding devices to operate proficiently as well as

Regular Software Updates keep your work free of interruption

It is sometimes so annoying to get an alert or warning about software updates, that too in the middle of busy work schedule. Most of us have tendency to ignore them or put them to a low priority. This is absolutely fine to keep at lower priority but do not undermine its importance.

Typically, the software updates are meant to enhance the performance through additional features, improve the security levels, and fixing the bugs that may have been left there.

All of these are undoubtedly important to ensure safe, secure and interruption free operations both on stand-alone system or an enterprise set-up.

What Is A Firewall And How Does It Work..?

A Firewall is either Hardware or Software based Network Security System that controls incoming and outgoing Network Traffic. Firewalls are categorized as either Network Firewalls or Host-based Firewalls. Network Firewall filter traffic between two or more Networks and Host-based Firewalls run on host computers. It control network traffic in and out of those machines.

Firewalls works as a First Line of Defence in Network Security since 25 Years. It also established a barrier between Secure and Control internal networks that can be trusted and untrusted other networks, like Internet.
