Dell Unveils New Cloud Computing Software

On Wednesday, Dell launched its new data center known as Virtual Integrated System (VIS) in order to allow businesses to switch to cloud computing. This new system comes as a result for enterprise demands to share data and resources among departments, which ultimately allows a company to decrease spending and increase productivity and workplace solidarity.

According to the senior vice president at Dell's Enterprise Product Group, Brad Anderson, “Dell’s VIS architecture is unique in that it works with a customer’s existing architecture and their current products and investments – whether from Dell or another provider".

They key features of Dell's new cloud software are that it creates virtualized resource pools and automates the way applications are deployed, all on one web-based platform. The Virtual Integrated System architecture is available beginning today.

If your company is looking to outsource its IT department, The TNS Group provides a reliable and effective method for all of your server virtualization needs. Call us today at 203-316-0112.

Ubuntu Dual Boot...

So I'm trying to wrap my head around OSes that aren't Windows...

In order to crack WPA security (in order to show network vulnerability) and other cool little apps, they need to be Linux based (M$ hasn't figured that one out yet.) I've gone through the process of creating a dual botting laptop with both Vista on it (it came with the laptop) and Ubuntu. I tried the KDE flavor of Ubuntu (Kubuntu) but I wasn't happy with the flakiness of video that I got and a few crashes of the software. I know that's not usually enough to switch gears for most but I'm just playing around with it.

There are so many things that you can do once you're finally in the OS. The command line is way more powerful than the GUI, but I need some time to adjust.

I also just realized there's a 64 bit version so I'll be downloading that and flattening the install just one more time to get it right.

It's never too late to teach an aging dog new tricks!
