Mrs. if acquisition N `is not yet valid, the two amricains groups approach technologically while annonant, a base of give Oracle 11g R2 couples Sun waiters.

Oracle has dbut on the march basic appliances of give by signing a partnership with HP, giving place to the launching of the offer Exadata, a basic waiter of give optimis for matriel HP.

Vis-a-vis the competing products of Teradata and Netezza, Oracle thus aligns dsormais Exadata v2, combining the dernire version of its base of give (Oracle 11g Release 2) with waiters x4170 and the quipements of x4275 of Sun.

Exadata v2 is commercialis into four modles for rpondre diffrentes requirements of volumtrie and power. The configuration full rack comprises thus 8 basic waiters of give and 14 waiters of (100 To D `space by rack in SAS or 336 To in SATA). The basic version limits two waiters in all.

Aprs examination of the offer, one can notice qu `Oracle N `does not have pouss fusion jusqu `to call upon the processors house of Sun. Exadata v2 S `presses indeed on waiters bases D `Intel and not technology Sparc de Sun. In a rcente countryside, Oracle however announced its volont D `to invest in the Sparc waiters, more than Sun did it (in dveloppement and by recruitments).

On the level of the graphical interface, has dcid D `to add Project the 2010 ribbon (gathering the mitres), dj intgr . Among the news fonctionnalits of the software a systme of chronological plank appears galement, lment visual taking again the great phases D `a project.

« These give graphic will be gnres automatically by synthtisant the components of the project. This visual will be able tre copi such as it is in an email or a PowerPoint file, in particular to make reporting » prcise Frdric Bojman, Project product manager at Microsoft.

to facilitate the use of the application, the ditor dclare to have wanted to set up an approach of the less forced project management. Thus, at the time of the dcoupage of the project in tches, it will not be obligatory any more with Project 2010 of spcifier a date of dbut and end.

the importation of Excel document, which jusqu `prsent ncessitait to make grids D `quivalence, has T simplifi. With the intgration SharePoint, Microsoft intends to direct Project towards a collaborative dmarche, through the possibilit to set up a workspace storing the deliverable diffrents project.

Like each Anne, the magazine BusinessWeek (aid by the socit of Interbrand council) publishes its classification of the 100 most powerful companies and most popular. A classification ralis to start from several critres: the figure D `businesses, internationalization, or their aptitudes sduire consumers.

iPhone fissurs: the black srie continues

Technology – the cases dcrans diPhone fissurs are multiplis these last days a little everywhere in France. Dnombre ten dincidents was dsormais. Blamed, Apple remains on its rserve.

« We are quite conscious of these vnements and we wait to receive the iPhone our customers. Jusqu `what we have the complete dtails, we N `let us have anything more add. »

Voil the thin comment that our confrres of the Barber has russi to obtain to D `a spokesperson D `Apple whereas the number of cases D `notches D `iPhones fissurs multiplies. Since the dbut of the week, one dnombre dj 7 new tmoignages D `users reports/ratios in the press. Contrary to the dbut of the business O the incidents seemed localiss in the south of France, one finds Paris and in Parisian rgion of it, in Brittany, and in the Loire.

Apple and envoy a request D `information with the Member States in their recommending to pass by Rapex, the systme D `alarm intracommunity on the products dangerous jugs.

Impossible still to draw the conclusions

the firm the apple speaks for the moment « D `incidental isols » and S `locks up in a badly felt dumbness. Remain qu `it is for the moment impossible to draw the least conclusion on this business.

C2S reconciles storage and virtual machines

tude of case – the subsidiary company of Bouygues has associ its projects of virutalisation of waiters and work stations, an architecture of storage which combines dduplication with the level of bays and tools of rplication and Thin Provisioning de VMware.

Filire data-processing of the Group Bouygues, C2S is a socit data processing departments which accompanies the DSI by the group within the framework of projects of recasting, of modification and D `volution of their infrastructures. C2S dveloppe and forms the others galement entits of Bouygues of the mtiers applications.

In 2007, the socit starts a plan of rationalization which results in an important recourse to. The waiters of the company are the first tre ports on virtual machines, that is to say about fifty waiters. C2S does not count thus dsormais more but five physical waiters and two ESX 3. 5 of VMWare (and two ESX supplmentaires for the redundancy).

L `storage space divided utilis by 7 grce the dduplication

Within the framework of its mission of formation, it undertaken has then engag a project of virtual work station (VDI) for its three classrooms. For, C2S S `supports on customers lgers Wyse (15 terminals by rooms) and the solution View 3 of VMware.

« Previously, before each training course, one needed remasteriser the work stations, which ncessitait a journe man. With the solution of VDI, for prparer the virtual machines and the mtiers applications to which the trainings relate, this tche is excute in one hour » explain, Pascal Bouthelot, chief of the service equipments production at C2S.

a bay of 4 To for the storage of the images

However, such an architecture (stations and waiters virtualiss) ncessite also a storage solution adapts. Give associate with the virtual machines are store on a bay of storage NetApp (in cluster) FAS 3020 C of 4 To, with the active one. This technology allowed C2S to divide by seven storage space utilis.

For rpondre its increasing requirements in terms for volumtrie, C 2 S.A. acquired one second NetApp bay, galement of 4 To. If the premire is out of Chanel Fibre (with discs of 146 Go 15.000 tours/s), the bay supplmentaire is as it in protocol iSCSI, but hberge of less critical volumes and less consumers.

« With the dbut of our project, there is a little more than two years, we have test. With the poque one, it conceals more constraining D `technically to associate this protocol of the virtual machines in VMware VI 3 – management of the Frame Jumbos and the almost impossible MPIO » , Pascal Bouthelot justifies.

a recourse to the native functions of VMware to optimize the coteuse licence

In S `pressing on Mrs. technology of storage, C 2 S.A. galement test, in environment of production, a recovery plan D `activit with a distant location. The objective: to quickly allow, in the event of disaster, the redmarrage of its infrastructure composes D `a hundred of virtual machines.

For that, another bay has T connects to the principal site by black fibre. On the level of the software tools, C2S S `is appuy on SnapManager for Virtual Infrastructure and SnapMirror for the rplication, remplac since by VMware SRM and the fonctionnalits of high disponibilit like Fault Tolerance.

« Aujourd `today empite more and more on fields before dvolus with the manufacturers. Thus, the ditor proposes dsormais function …

But each Anne, her performances drops (the figure D `businesses reached 12 billion in 2007), to the great displeasure of the German oprator who has cherch a time to sell this division. Without succs. A partnership with Cognizant has nanmoins T concluded in 2008.

N the other hand of this new social plan (manpower have dj T rduits of 1,9% this Anne), the direction promised to maintain the use of the salaris in place until mid the 2012 (sic).
