So, to round out the Hadoop Streaming samples I thought I would put together an XML Streaming sample. As always the code can be found here: http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/Hadoop-Streaming-and-F-f2e76850 XML Streaming Reader So how does one stream in XML
I decided to make a small exception and post a few very interesting links on Microsoft’s new private cloud offering based on System Center 2012: Transforming IT with Microsoft Private Cloud , keynote from Satya Nadella (President of Server and Tools Business in Microsoft) Download System Center 2012 Client Management and Security Solutions : System Center 2012 Configuration Manager Release Candidate (RC) helps IT empower people to use the devices and applications they need to be productive while maintaining corporate compliance and control. It provides a unified management infrastructure across physical, virtual, and mobile client environments

Today, I like to talk about managing a team. The secret of building a great feature is to build a great team first, then the team will build the feature
Recently I was looking for a nice way to process large text files and keeping memory consumption at a minimum. Though I wanted to keep input logic strictly separated from filtering and processing components. I figured this is similar (but simpler) to what LINQ does in principle.
[原文发表地址] A basic non-cloud-based personal backup strategy [原文发表时间] 2011-09-05 08:33 我在2007年发表了关于家庭备份策略的博文 ,并鼓励你们开发自己的策略,或者确认一下你已有的策略。那时候,我的策略是很基础的,就是把 Mozy.com 作为在线备份,并使用 Windows Home Server 做本地备份。最近Windows Home Server移除了驱动器扩展技术(他们RAID的版本支持磁盘出现故障的情况),所以我转向了 Synology 1511+ 并做了 一个博客 。 先提供一个总结,以免你觉得这篇博文太 TL;DR ,太冗长,因为它的确是这样。 · 使用像Acronis True Image这样的图像工具来创建你真正在意的机器的图像。 · 你还可以使用Windows内置的系统图像工具,不过我更喜欢Acronis提供的额外选择。 · 为外部驱动器加密 · 在两个外部驱动器上备份文件(以及磁盘图像) · 让一个外部驱动器离线 · 用实践还原的方法测试下你的备份。通常备份总是成功的,但真正还原时却失败了。 我几乎试过基于云的备份的所有内容,从 KeepVault 到 CrashPlan 。我现在在研究“在线备份策略”,尽管我还在学CrashPlan。大部分这些在线备份公司在考虑到有服务器的因素时就会很困惑。比如,我在家里有一台主机,但同时我还有服务器和KitchenPC,还有我妻子的笔记本电脑,不过都没关系,因为所有的数据都在服务器上。不过,我真的想要主机上的磁盘图像。 我需要两样东西: · 持续可信赖的图像备份 · 服务器上的文件备份 这样就算发生自热灾害,家庭视频或者照片也不会丢失。对那些只把文件储存在本地电脑上而不是服务器上的人来说,这些在线服务很不错。不过,当我集中了我的文件之后,事情就变得复杂了。KeepVault对Windows Home Server用户来说是最好的,因为它有直接集成到WHS控制面板的自定义Home Server客户端。 既然我转向了像Synology这样的Linux方案,除了使用直接的rsync或者 rsync to S3 ,最好的方案就是 CrashPlan Headless 了。尽管这在Synology中不直接支持, 很多人都想要实现支持 ,所以我不是一个人在战斗,尽管整个过程实在很让人抓狂。 现在我有一个4TB的SAN,有1.5TB左右的东西储存在上面,都是无云存储。老实说,我不想等两周的时间(或者更长)往一个新的服务上传1.5TB,我不确定我的ISP会做何反应。我觉得大量数据包的初始种子是在线备份的弱点。我的备份都在线上让我感觉不可靠除非它们是离线的。所以我去买了两个 Western Digital My Passport Essential SE 1 TB USB 3.0 驱动 器,并把它们分为了备份A和备份B。 我建议你对整个磁盘进行加密。我想你把所有的生活内容放入一个驱动器的时候肯定不想把这些信息公布于众。有两个很好的办法,就是 BitLocker To Go 和 TrueCrypt 。 · BitLocker To Go 在Windows 7企业版或终极版中有。它使用方便,你可以在任何Windows7版本上读取BitLocker To Go加密过的磁盘,甚至在 Windows XP或者装有BitLocker To Go读取器的Windows Vista 上也可以。它支持TPM,如果你的笔记本有这个功能,那就相当安全了。 · TrueCrypt 是开放资源,很核心。它有相当多不错的选择,比如事后卸责,蜂蜜罐秘密分区,和加密的各种选择。相当安全。 有了这些选择,你不会有什么问题的。为了测试,我正在每个驱动器上一个个尝试。我喜欢TrueCrypt,因为它是开放资源,不过我很喜欢内置在Windows中的BitLocker。我们等等看。关键是,不要把东西放在磁盘里不加密。 说明:这些加密工具对整个磁盘进行加密需要花费很久(好几小时)时间。所以请耐心等待。 至于我的图像方案,我用 Acronis Image Home 2011 PC备份和恢复 。在Amazon上有很多2011版本的负面评论,不过我还没有碰到什么问题。注意,我还是很喜欢尝新的,如果你有什么建议,请告诉我。 我使用 SyncBack 在主机上按日程安排复制文件,将服务器上的文件复制到外部驱动器上。我可以直接把驱动器连接到Synology上,但是我想用Windows机器来加密。 我妻子每月去银行时都会把驱动器A放在银行保险箱里,所以我们每个月都会有新备份。我不确定我最后是不是会往Synology上安装CrashPlan(我希望可以简单点),不过目前的线下“无云”备份策略还是不错的,它不会花费任何带宽。实际上,我可以在10分钟内备份1.5TB!

Originally posted on the UK Student Blog . We’re going to turn over the blog for another guest blog post – this time we asked people to give us their AppHub success stories, and George rose to the challenge.
One of the most basic services provided by an OS is the file system, and Windows has one of the most advanced file systems of any operating system used broadly. In Windows 7 we improved things substantially in terms of reliability, management, and robustness (for example, automating completely the antiquated notion of “defrag” )
Excited to announce SQL Server 2012 Release Candidate (RC) .
