Synology now has a free solution to back up and restore all of its infrastructure, including virtual machines, desktops, Windows servers, and NAS. We tested all its features, measured the speed and evaluated the pros and cons of this package. In 2010, the founder of Veeam Software, Ratmir Timashev, said in one of his interviews that the main thing for backups is the recovery process, how fast, easy and reliable it is. Today Veeam software solutions have become the de facto standard in large ...

Synology is expanding the capabilities of its hypervisor and in the Pro version it is possible to create a failover cluster. We tested non-stop migration, crash recovery and also showed how BTRFS can save disk space when using a dozen virtual machines. Traditionally for Synology, every step here is intuitive and logical. Today any small company has its own IT resources, which grow along with the growth and development of the company. One or two services can still be kept on a dedicated ...

In the infrastructure of any modern enterprise, a special place should be given to data storage and backup systems. In case of failure, human error or for maintaining archives, but the data must be reliably protected from loss, prying eyes or natural disaster. In this article, we will explain what hardware is used to copy data in different cases. The active development of information technologies, which began at the very beginning of the 21st century and does not plan to stop in the coming ...

MSA2000sa disk arrays in a 2U case are designed to form a consolidated storage environment for small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as for organizing disk storage of the second or third level in remote offices and branches of large companies. It is important for administrators to know a number of subtleties of configuring these disk arrays. How the storage systems are configured in some cases depend on their fault tolerance and performance. For administrators of the popular HP ...

Usually, the user trusts his information to a single hard drive and backup. This approach is absolutely inappropriate for enterprises where data loss is equal to business loss. What data storage systems exist today and from what threats can they protect your data and, accordingly, your business? Considering any information system, one cannot but highlight such a process as information storage. It is the information that is the main value in any organization, and the entire infrastructure ...

Facebook is an innovative company in itself, and it's no wonder that they didn't just buy hundreds of servers to run their service. They have improved the memcached caching technology, and now the company's engineers are developing a new type of server that will be optimal for large cloud services - cheap, reliable and efficient. Innovations such as new cabinet heights, dual-input power supplies, lack of remote monitoring systems seem absurd today. By and large, Facebook's basic architecture ...

In this article, we will tell you about the 4-processor Dell PowerEdge R810 server, which has a complex modular layout that allows you to easily replace a failed block entirely. This server uses FlexMem Bridge technology, thanks to which all the server's memory slots become available to the customer, even if two processors out of four are installed. And, of course, the proprietary iDRAC control system and all those little things that classify such servers as elite. In previous reviews, the ...

A $ 30K 56kg machine is 4 servers in one case, each with 2 AMD Opteron 6174 processors. Thus, the highest density is achieved in a 2U case - 96 physical cores and 512GB memory, plus each node has a built-in 40G InfiniBand controller, making it an ideal machine for math calculations and HPC applications. We'll look at how it all works in our article. Today, the main tendency in server equipment is to increase the computational density of equipment, and the reasons for this are quite ...
