After October’s issue dedicated to VMworld, GURU advisor returns with a rich cover.

This month we will focus on storage with the tests of HP MSA 2040, one of the most complete and scalable solutions in the professional tier to couple with two or more vSphere or Hyper-V hosts, and the shiny brand new VMware Virtual SAN 6.1.
We also gathered information about the ever more feared Cryptolocker -the correct term is Ransomware, a software that demands for a ransom- : getting secured from this treat is a must for every good sysadmin.

Starting with this issue you’ll find two columns: one dedicated to OpenStack with a series of introductive articles, and one dedicated to VMware, with a section of the site specifically dedicated to a vSphere user guide. We believe that they will be useful for those -like you- who work daily with these two powerful, albeit complex, technologies.

GURU advisor is growing extremely fast and we hope to help you in your work. If you haven’t done it yet, subscribe here to be updated when the next issues will be published. We’d like to hear your feedback on these first issues, you can write us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
Obviously as a mean of communication you can use our social channels, in particular Twitter where you can find our reports from the events we’ll attend.
This week, for instance, we will be (as guests) at the Festival ICT in Milan, if you’ll be there, we’d be glad to meet you!
