Microsoft earlier introduced an updated Chromium-based Edge browser as a preview version for Windows 10. The novelty is available in developer and Canary builds. In the coming months, developers promised to release more versions, including for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. However, although the preview builds are only available for Windows 10, they can be installed […]
Continuing the examination of technologies that accelerate input/output operations in storage systems, started in the previous article, we cannot overlook the popular option known as tiering (Auto Tiering). Although the ideology behind this function is quite similar among various manufacturers of storage systems, we will focus on the specifics of tiering implementation in the Qsan storage system. Despite the diversity of data stored in the storage system, this […]
In this post we’d like to share an interesting way of dealing with the configuration of a distributed system. The configuration is represented directly in Scala language in a type-safe manner. An example implementation is described in detail. Various aspects of the proposal are discussed, including its influence on the overall development process. (На русском) Introduction […]
I would like to discuss an interesting mechanism for handling the configuration of a distributed system. The configuration is directly represented in the compiled language (Scala) using safe types. This post analyzes an example of such a configuration and examines various aspects of implementing compiled configuration into the overall development process. (English) Introduction Building a reliable distributed system implies that correct configuration is used across all nodes, synchronized […]
The digital age dictates its own laws, and the legal system must keep pace with the relentless technological advancements and transformation of economic relationships. On a global level, careful and predictive legal regulation of the digital environment becomes a significant competitive advantage for states, allowing for investment influx and stability in economic growth. In the context of Russia, with so much intensive work from the State Duma in adopting new (and often […]
Kaspersky Lab has revealed a new cyber espionage campaign that has victimized users and organizations in nearly four dozen countries worldwide. The attack has been named SneakyPastes. Analysis shows that the organizer is the cyber group Gaza, which includes three other teams of attackers — Operation Parliament (known since 2018), Desert Falcons (known since 2015), and MoleRats (active […]
Today, most software products are developed in teams. The conditions for successful team development can be represented in a simple framework. After writing code, you must ensure that it: Works. Does not break anything, including code written by your colleagues. If both conditions are met, you are on the path to success. To easily verify these conditions and stay on track […]
Performance enhancement technologies based on SSD usage, widely employed in storage arrays, have been around for quite some time. Primarily, this involves using SSDs as storage space, which is 100% effective but costly. Therefore, tiering and caching technologies are used, where SSDs are utilized only for the most frequently accessed ('hot') data. Tiering is beneficial for long-term use scenarios (days to weeks) […]
In previous posts, we shared instructions for setting up backups and replication based on Veeam. Today, we would like to discuss backups using Commvault. There will be no instructions, but we will share what our clients are already backing up. Storage systems for backups based on Commvault in the OST-2 data center. How does it work? Commvault is a platform for backups […]
Today, I will talk about two Commvault capabilities for MS SQL backup that are unjustly overlooked: granular recovery and the Commvault plugin for SQL Management Studio. I will not cover the basics of setup. This post is more for those who already know how to install the agent, set schedules, policies, and so on. I have previously discussed how Commvault works and what it is capable of […]
In 2017, Bandai Namco Entertainment and developer Tarsier Studio introduced the rather dark horror game Little Nightmares, presented in a cute visual style. After that, the platformer received several expansions, and soon it will be released on Nintendo Switch. Fans will be interested to know that they can also immerse themselves in the frightening adventure on mobile devices running iOS. Bandai Namco Entertainment [...]
Splunk is one of the most recognizable commercial products for log collection and analysis. Even now, when sales in Russia are no longer made, it is no reason not to write how-to guides on this product. The task: to collect system logs from Docker nodes in Splunk without changing the host machine's configuration. I would like to start with the official approach, which looks a bit strange […]
