Now we have chatted about server virtualisation on previous episodes but it started a long time before that, have you heard VLANS? Well that is network virtualisation, and then there is storage virtualisation. In this first episode of two we begin to demystify the chaos surrounding virtualisation and chat about its benefits.

Anyway, we then go on to present them to some machines, chat about NIC teaming and some general iSCSI advice. Right, you are now a storage consultant, how hard can it be?

I know I was, I mean what was wrong with just putting disks in the server, eh? Well in this initial episode we introduce some different SAN technologies namely iSCSI, Fibre channel and a little bit on SAS.

Now I, like no doubt some of you, have been hearing this for around 15 years, in fact ever since I learnt TCP/IP I knew it was doomed. In this episode we introduce IPv6 concepts and cover the basics of the new IPv6 address format. Oh, and sorry for the sound quality on this one, the batteries in our microphone ran out, and Mark was suffering from man flu!
