Top 10 Artiklar hos Infrastrukturteamet på VMware Januari 2013

Listan kommer från VMwaresupporten och utgår från hur många gånger ett Tech Supportärende kunde stängas genom att följa en viss KB artikel.. :)

Infrastrukturteamet är de som jobbar med lagring, nätverk och systemkrascher.
Ett tips är att kika igenom listan. Här får man en bra insikt i vad andra haft problem med och det kan göra att man hittar saker innan de inträffar i den egna miljön. :)
