EMC

• EMC Storage Viewer 2.1 now available! free tool for EMC Customer (Powerlink credentials required).
  

  So – for those of you who don’t know what this tool is – it’s designed to help provide pertinent storage related info in the natural context of the the VMware admin (vCenter). It works with all EMC platforms and all protocols (less on NFS – though more coming on that soon). It maps the relationships between initiators and targets and shows you if the target is not configured properly (see screenshot below).

GreenIT

• Le Green Aware de Cisco (fr – video from Accenture). This video presents the use of inhouse Cisco green building tech in Cisco’s building, in that case in France. Solution is connected to both electrical panel and to the network via a meshed wireless network to a gateway and then in the application (Vizelia ? it is not said). That one regulates the temperature and other environmental factors while providing dashboards to visitors. Car and plane trips are included in the application and represents 80% of total Co2 emissions.
