- Broadcom Doubles VMware CPU Efficiency
By Frank Berry
A few weeks ago, VMware announced that vSphere 4.1 enables 10Gb iSCSI hardware offload in the Broadcom 957711 Converged NIC (C-NIC). Before VMware supported 10Gb iSCSI offload, data center managers connected their VMware servers to 10Gb iSCSI SANs using a combination of NIC hardware and fat iSCSI device drivers, a configuration where most of the iSCSI protocol processing is done by the VMware server. Now with vSphere 4.1, VMware supports the latest generation of converged C-NICs that use thin iSCSI drivers, a scenario where most of the iSCSI protocol processing is done by the iSCSI offload engine in the C-NIC. My expectation for 10Gb iSCSI offload is that storage deployed with VSphere 4.1 will run faster and use a lot less of the precious CPU resources that rightfully belong to virtual machines and business applications.

- It's Not The Same Old Block Storage
By Howard Marks
As recently as the turn of the century, block storage was pretty simple. A controller joined a group of disk drives into a RAID set and then offered fixed slices of that RAID set up as logical volume or LUN. All the controller had to do to map a block in the volume to a physical location was calculate offset from the beginning of the RAIDset to the beginning of the volume and the RAID stripe. With features like thin provisioning, automatic tiering and data reduction via deduplication and compression, things aren't that simple.
- Cisco's Curious Choice For New High-Speed Wireless Bridges
By Lee H. Badman
The 802.11 wireless standard includes bridging, and Cisco's history with wireless bridge products is long and distinguished. When Cisco purchased Aironet back in 1999, the networking giant started down the path towards what would become market domination in wired access and bridging, but Cisco hasn't been what anyone would call progressive when it comes to their wireless bridge product line.
