VMware ESX is free for upto 6 cores per CPU only
Vsphere Advanced version is required for 12 CPU cores
does Xenserver 5.5 free support greater than 6 cores per CPU/Socket?
I need files to be <= 5GB to put on S3.
Right now I have an ugly tar / gzip / cut before upload, then cat / zcat / tar on download, but it's really ugly - and nearly every archiver should support archive splitting right?
What's the best way?
Hi all,
I am building a system for a friend. The potential specs are like this so far:
ASUS A8N-VM motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 3200+ @ 2.0 GHz
Any 7200RPM SATA HDD
Palit GeForce 8800GT 512MB GDDR3 PCIe
One DVD/CD combo drive
Creative SB Live! 5.1 sound card
I was wondering what wattage of power supply would be able to support this hardware. I had a 350W in mind... would that do?
Thanks in advance.
Hard drives are transitioning from 512 byte to 4096 byte sector sizes, and it looks like Windows XP won't support these newer drives without additional software (such as WDalign from Western Digital)
My question is: how does this affect external hard drives? I'll be buying a 1TB USB external drive, and it'll be plugged into a mix of Windows 7 and XP machines. Is there an easy way to tell what the sector size on an external hard drive is?
Hi,
I have a task to research the possibilities of LDAP as a centralized Address Book. I have setup a openLDAP on debian 5.07. I managed to search the LDAP contacts from MS Outlook 2007 (with some drawbacks like Outlook cant recognize street and organization fields).
My question is, is it possible ,& how, to sync data on LDAP server with applications that support LDAP? I could not find any data on this topic.
What GUI application do you think is best to search and replace text in a folder full of files?
Entries must:
Allow searches in folders and sub folders for text inside files.
May or may not support replacement.
May or may not show previews.
Is there any applications that has full support for Lotus 4 Worksheets files and corresponding macros that work under Windows 7?
I have a rather legacy billing application that I still need to use and unfortunately, short of installing a VM to run Lotus 1-2-3, I can't find any information on a compatible application.
We are going to be setting up two replicas of our DataMart and related databases, and our plan includes using Hyper-V VM's to handle the load. When creating the VM's, we cannot find specific requirements or recommendations for RAM/CPU power for read-only replicas.
Our current Primary DataMart setup has 64GB RAM and Two Quad-Core procs, which so far has been adequate for our usage.
What should be the server setup for replicas and SQL Server to adequately support the read-only usage?
Are there any alternatives to IBM Websphere MQ Server for Windows? We need to access a remote Queue Manager that doesn't support client connections (only Queue Manager to Queue Manager).
I've noticed that there are some BizTalk Host Integration adapters but they only seem to behave as clients (one transactional, the other non-transactional).
In Outlook, I'm setting up a Gmail account and I'm not able to send mails because my ISP is blocking SMTP forward.
Any ways to bypass this?
EDIT
I've tried different settings, followed Gmail support inscructions and still not working.
telnet smtp.gmail.com 465
telnet smtp.gmail.com 587
telnet smtp.gmail.com 25
all of them reply:
Connecting To smtp.gmail.com...Could
not open connection to the host, on
port xxx : Connect failed
and I don't have an email acount from my ISP.
I have seen a number of diagram software packages but most don't support real time collaboration. Google docs Drawing does the real-time collaboration, but is severely limited on features--focused on drawing rather than diagrams. I want something that supports connectors and such. Mind maps would be also be nice but would be a secondary requirement.
All the LCD's in our house have DVI and VGA inputs. None support S-Video or any analog formats.
Our game systems (nes, snes, n64, ps, ps2, gamecube, etc..) and DVD and VHS players only have composite (the yellow/red/white cords..?) or S-Video (that PS2-input like cable..?).
How can I convert the signal these analog systems output to work on VGA or DVI?

My new PC I just finished building has USB 3.0 support as well as eSATA. So this has me wondering, I use a USB stick/thumb drive all the time on my PC for stuff, is there an equivalent available anywhere for USB 3.0 or even eSATA?
I'm currently using namecheap, but I'd like to start adding ipv6 glue entries to my nameserver records, and they don't seem to support ipv6 glue reliably. What's a good, cheap registrar that supports ipv6 glue for the major TLDs (particularly .info, .net, .org, and .us)?
I am setting up a network to support IPv6. Stateless Autoconfiguration seems to be the preferred way to get an IP address on an IPv6 network but is this the preferred way for a server? Other machines outside of the network are going to need to be able to talk to the server. Is it preferable to give the server a static IP address or is there something fancy that can be done with DNS to keep track of the server address?
Recently, I purchase 2x1TB drives for my XP computer, I want to use RAID 1 for the redundancy, but the motherboard is little old and can't support that. Some articles introduce how to make it happen in windows xp, but all are failed in my machine.

I would like to know is there any existing software RAID solution available in market? Thanks in advance.
What do you find as the best ISO / disk image mounting software out there?
You can give a nod to $$$ alternatives, but I'm looking for the best freeware and support for DVD-size images as well.
EDIT I actually use Virtual Clone Drive regularly, and would recommend that over anything else.
The server would run a 2 drive (mirrored root pool for OS and master database segment). And would run individual zpools for each remaining drive (loss of data is acceptable).
Initial requirements would be:
2x 7540 xeons (6 core)
32gig memory.
12 drives.
A 4U/2U server (6/8 core and 2/4 sockets cpu support) with internal disks / or external JBOD.
Capacity to house a disk per CPU core is important.
it seems only R2 versions of W2k3 and W2k8 support folder, file level VSS backup. In regular Windows server editions only volumes could be backed up.
is there any links or doc to confirm this behavior?
I have a rather old Palm m500 PDA that I have been considering replacing with a Blackberry, as it has been slowly starting to fail. I already have decided on which model I want, but the problem is that the information in Palm Desktop 4 (what of it is actually exportable) is in a legacy database format that can't be migrated to MS Office Outlook 2007. Is there a converter that will spit out an Outlook-importable file, or is there a free Windows PIM that happens to support importing/exporting both formats?
Hi guys,
I'm looking for a good editor for windows with built-in WebDAV support. I'm aware of Netdrive, Webdrive and Windows' built-in WebDAV client, but these don't work as well, because they need to emulate a true filesystem.
Has anyone came across this? I'm used to Coda on OS/X, so I'm hoping for something similar.

Does Windows 7 have native support for mounting CD/DVD ISO images? If not, what is the best tool to use for that under Windows 7 64-bit? I am looking for a solution to allow installing MSDN downloads without burning them to CD/DVD.
I'm using HAProxy as a load balancer and i'd like to redirect any traffic that comes in on 443 (HTTPS) to 80 (HTTP). My site doesn't support HTTPS at all and i'd rather just redirect users than cause any SSL warnings in browsers.
All I can find is using the redirect location <to> syntax, but as far as I can tell that requires me to hard code the hostname. The load balancer receives connections for various hostnames so would like to keep it relative.
