As I covered yesterday, IDG Enterprise is out with results from a new survey it did involving 1,672 IT decision-makers who report that they are very focused on cloud computing, including open cloud platforms such as OpenStack. The same survey, though, showed that security and protection from disaster were among their chief concerns in implementing cloud deployments.

We’re likely to see more security and disaster recovery solutions for OpenStack arrive, and Symantec and HP have just announced a notable one. The new Disaster Recovery as-a-Service (DRaaS) solution is based on HP Helion OpenStack, and purportedly “will help enterprise and SMB customers to minimize recovery times, data loss, and associated downtime costs.”

Hello guys,

I was wondering if i can replace my current CPU for a better CPU? Do i have to tweak anything in the BIOS or anywhere else in my system.

So do i just physically take out the old CPU and install the other one in its place, and everything will boot normally?

Thanks.
