Been a while since I've posted...
Rot had crept in...you know, you get tired of the work. But I am rejuvenated. We just started our new buildout, and damn, I'm excited about tech again! The first 6 blade cluster just went up, and it is amazing. We're using UCS blades, fronting v7000 storage. We built 250 vm's, while rebooting 100 vm's, while we worked in several more. 136,000 IOPS, all delivered at sub 6ms! Woot! We're replacing 3000 of our virtual desktops (will be 48 blades total), moving to the latest view on the latest ESX. Hoping this happy continues, been burned out...really needed it!
