I first came across CloudPhysics just before VMWorld 2012. For a general overview, go here: I am a massive fan of analytics and trend metrics and I use a number of systems to gain a wide overview of the performance and monitoring of our Hosting and Cloud Platform…as well as extending out to client systems. I love […] Read More
2013
Just thought I’d open the new year with a quick post about my expectations for 2013 from a technical/personal point of view. I’ve been a little slack in my Blog Posting over the last couple of months, but this has been mainly due to an intense work load due to a surge in large client […] Read More
VMworld – The EUC Revolution is Here
A few years ago there was a theory put forward by a certain Apple CEO that we were entering the Post PC Era…while I have never subscribed to that theory (which was affirmed by VMware CTO Steve Herrod at VMworld 2012) it’s obvious to see that the revolution is more based around the ways in […] Read More
Quick Post: From 36,000 feet
This is just a quick post from somewhere in between SF and LA. Got to say that Virgin America is very impressive. Seats are comfortable and the entertainment system is well advanced over Qantas or AA. I won’t be so privileged on the A380 back to Sydney… But I have lots of time to go […] Read More
Load Balancer Internal IP’s Appearing in IIS/Apache Logs: Quick Fix
If you are NAT’ing public to private addresses with a load balancer in between your web server and your Gateway/FireWall device you might come across the situation where the IIS/Apache logs report the IP of the Load Balancer, when what you really want, is the client IP.

The Backup Delusion – Part 2
It’s been a while since my first post on this topic, but there has certainly been a lot of thought and effort put into this subject since then. At first I envisaged this to be a two part post, but I think I’m going to break this up over a couple more posts, that focus on a […] Read More
Quick Thought: VMware’s first “Microsoft” move with SocialCast
VMware announced overnight that their aquired Private Social Media Platform SocialCast is to have full features enabled for 50 users. http://www.vmware.com/company/news/releases/vmw-socialcast-free-06-06-12.html I have been using SocialCast for about 6 months privately and I’ve been involved in a couple VMware run Private Beta programs using SocialCast as the social platform…it’s excellent, intuitive and easy to use. I have seen the potential in the product […] Read More

Ill put this right out there! I would rather live in a world without Backup and Recovery. I have burnt countless hours and hair follicles working my way through and trying to tame backup application platforms. Unfortunately we have not reached a point whereby the technology we use is reliable and resilient enough to prevent […] Read More
