Tag: Hyper-V

A sort-of article of mine is live on 5Nine.com

A long while ago (2010) I wrote a series of posts for 4Sysops.com on Hyper-V performance monitoring. By chance I found that some of that material had ended up on a blog over at 5nine.com. I contacted them and they did the right thing – restoring my faith in humanity. Apparently a guest blogger (that they no longer work with) had done it and they didn’t know.

Anyway, they’ve attached my name and bio to the post, which you can read here. Original 4Sysops series starts here.

Thanks for reading.
