HARTFORD – Kelser and HPE hosted a lunch and learn event to showcase how HPE’s flash based 3PAR storage solution greatly improves the performance of persistent VDI implementations.

Kelser Corp and Cisco have been working together to provide businesses with the latest technology, proving to be both leaders and innovators in the industry. Cisco’s Unified Computing System (UCS) helps businesses simplify their operations, reduce their costs, and increase their speed, while Kelser provides customized technology solutions that help clients get the most out of their technology investments. Here’s a deeper look at how Cisco UCS functions, and how our teamwork is helping clients’ businesses to succeed in this fast-changing, technological world:

WEST HARTFORD – A team of presenters led by former UConn Husky Donny Marshall discussed teamwork and the benefits of hyperconverged systems at a wine dinner that went into overtime. Guests were enthusiastically participating in the evening’s discussion while enjoying good food, wine and camaraderie at Fleming’s Steakhouse and Wine Bar.

Kelser’s VP of Professional Services, Matt Kozloski, and Manchester Community College’s Director of Technology, Barry Grant, spoke recently at NERCOMP’s annual conference in Providence, RI. They presented, “A VDI Design for Cultural Change” to a packed crowd of IT professionals that practice in the educational space. Their presentation shared the journey of bringing VDI to MCC. Read the recap of the event here. Here are Matt’s thoughts about the conference and his reflections on the benefits of virtualization in higher education.

EAST HARTFORD, CT – Select IT professionals from the area converged on Kelser’s headquarters to see how they could revolutionize their datacenter fabric with the Cisco Nexus 9000 series of switches.

(This post provides a continuation to Matt Kozloski’s post about Nexus 9000 Automation. In his post, Matt provides a primer on Nexus 9000 and shows some example code using PowerShell to access the REST API on the Nexus 9000.) We already know that the Nexus 9000 is an awesome switch, before we even get to the goodness of its programmability features. For example, the Cisco Nexus 9372PX performs non-blocking 10G line rate switching, has 6x 40GbE uplinks, and it sports a rich set enterprise functions you would expect from a Cisco Nexus switch, such as L2 switching, L3 routing, VXLAN, VPC, and Fabric Extenders to name a few. In this exercise we are going to query the switch for some information remotely using Python.

Cisco has long been known as the digital Fort Knox of the network security world. Their breadth of products offers an all-encompassing path to internet security, and includes a multitude of security fronts.

The popularity of the Cloud is unquestionable, with the majority of U.S. businesses using cloud computing. But, with this increased usage, cloud-based Disaster Recovery (DR) has become even more crucial.
