Server Silos When I was a Citrix administrator, I hated having server silos. I worked extremely hard to minimize the number of silos in our environment.

Like any storage, over time datastores tend to fill up, and when the percentage of used space reaches worrying levels it’s time to look for stuff that can be thrown away in order […]
