Alfresco cloud has started

Alfresco is a nice tool ! I already blogged on this previously when I am using it internally with mass update, sharepoint facility and other ipad app. Content indexing is not that fast but it is GREAT !

New now, they provide a cloud site for free but with restricted feature : no FTP, no WebDAV, no mass upload for migration… I would love to have them, I already spread the word anyway for small teams and associations. iPad is already enable so you can already have your docs every where

Have fun !

1.9 TB of flash ? Oracle Storage F5100 Flash Array

Nowadays I am playing with a very nice Oracle tool, the F5100 flash array. This is a 1U array with 4×20 modules of NAND memory.

We can use it as :

  • Cache for Oracle 11gR2 database (it is seen as a disk),
  • Cache for Solaris ZFS (you will have a FAST nas),
  • or as an FAST hard drive (funny to create RAID1 on flash) ! It is the IOPS of 3000 disks if you use all 80 modules

If you use Oracle software : enjoy !  If not, I will talk of NetApp Flash Accelerator once.

Windows 2012 beta

Got the chance to play with Windows 2012 Hyper-V last week. We will have have to learn the new UI of Windows 8 ( some twitter guy told me <<windows 8 was not my idea>> ).

On the very nice side :

  • new wizard to create network team easily,
  • an easier way to manage multiple server from a central point,
  • the possibility to remove the GUI going back to Windows Core (windows without buttons … you like powershell ? )
  • Deduplication on drives

Will need to learn more but … I first need to learn how to shutdown the server. A lot of things to review !

NoSQL CouchDB scalability ?

Today, I saw a twitter referring a wonderful article from saucelabs explaining technically why they revert from CouchDB to MySQL. As Graylog2 already remove CouchDB in favor to Elastic Search.

If you use / consider using CouchDB … it worth a look to help you decide ;)
