Vacation.

Over the last couple of weeks the wife and I went down and visited the capital of heat and humidity .... OK it's possible it's not the capital, but it's gotta be an honorable mention.

Florida. We hit Magic kingdom, EPCOT, Animal Kingdom, and Hollywood Studios.

Animal Kingdom Safari Ride = CRAP! Good Lord. I had the WORST experience on this thing. The ride never stopped or slowed down ... we went about 20-25mph through this whole thing ... insane hurt my back and threw out my wife's.

One of the best rides was the Tower of Terror. AWESOME!

Quick Update. UCS Oversubscription? Not a big deal ....if considered?

Hello All,

I am compiling content for UCS and vSphere. Some interesting things that I am trying to reconcile in my own understanding. In all my reading and looking at the system it seems that there might be a possible oversubscription issue right at the chassis. I know that we all love oversubscription from a datacenter perspective since most links rarely stick at 100% usage for long periods of time. But shouldn't that be designed in from the core level? But UCS has a 2:1 over sub rate before it leaves the chassis. So as Technologists we need to keep that in mind. Since the usual ratio is 4:1 or 6:1 then it's possible to get that rate and hit the golden ratio as long as you consider that UCS hits 2:1 as soon as you plug it in.

Not a bad deal.

See you guys soon.
