If the idea is keeping the budget down, software RAID sounds like a great option. That is a large chunk of cash necessary to get a quality RAID controller.
@scottalanmiller Seems like more has happened with Hyper-V in the last 12 months, than it ever has in development. I'll be excited to see what happens in the next few years, especially with RemoteFX and VDI (setting up some Raspberry Pi 2's from Amazon for $70, and Raspberry Thin PC download). Tried it out over this last spring in a VMware Horizon View environment, and all I can say is wow. That install has pretty much every remote protocol. You can harden the client by locking out the docks/settings/etc once you're all done setting it up. Not perfect, but nearly there.
SSL and TLS protect people from spying on an existing communications channel, but does nothing to protect the end points. It's just a service that has to respond to any incoming request.
That Norco might work, but looking at it, I'm curious what the usable dimensions are inside. The exterior depth shows 31.5" and the Dell Standard depth is 28 7/8. That's cutting it pretty
close. I haven't found a spec sheet or anyone talking about the interior dims yet.
Update. If I create an event on the Surface with the calendar it shows up in the Zoho calendar, however if I create an event in Zoho it does not show up on the Surface.
First thing is you're going to want to set up an ISO share so you can start launching VMs. I set up a CIFS share so that I can just put ISOs into a folder on my workstation and have XenCenter automatically be able to mount them.
I don't want this on my workstation. Does XenServer not have a method to locally store files someplace?
With Hyper-V I can just drop iso files in a folder on the C/D/E/Whatever drive.
With VMWare I can upload iso files to a folder on the the datastore.
As @DustinB3403 linked you have to add it from cli through the Dom0. Kind of stupid if you ask me.
May be kinda stupid, but considering they have a Dom0, kinda makes sense. It's the same in Hyper-V. ESXi is the odd-man out here, but then, there's no Dom0 there.
I understand since the Dom0 doesn't have much room, but they should give you the option to mount a usb through XenCenter though.
They don't, I believe, because they want the XC interface to be easy for people working with pool, which is the majority of their base. Using a USB drive on a single host makes a lot of sense when you have only one host but when you have a lot of them it would potentially get really confusing.
