Curious about home lab or on-prem models
A friend told me to stop trying to squeeze local models onto my gaming PC and just buy the right box. So I did, and hoping not to regret it. Ordered a BOSGAME M5. Ryzen AI Max+ 395, 128GB unified memory, up to 96GB of it assignable to the GPU. Size of a hardcover book. I've been running LM Studio with models off Hugging Face. Fine for small stuff. So, people who've actually done this at home... What are you running besides LM Studio? What hardware did you buy and regret? Where does unified memory fall apart in practice? One ask. Human answers only. I can already ask a model what a model thinks. I want to know what broke in your house at 11pm on a Tuesday.What new skills and certifications are you pursuing?
Hi everyone! We all read about how technology is changing everything for everyone. Are you pursuing new skills and certifications based on your current experience? What's driving that? How can we learn from each other? I'm learning more about building an MCP servers and how they work! Eddie49Views5likes2CommentsHas a hobby ever surprised you by making you better at your job?
So, one of my slightly mad hobbies is "Homelabbing," the bizarre practice of building a datacenter in your home for no good reason. I’ve spent years marketing enterprise IT and data center concepts, and I thought I understood my audience. Then I started building and running the technology myself. Nothing teaches you about uptime quite like providing critical services to a family with less patience than any CEO. And you don’t fully appreciate the trauma of data loss until you’re performing disaster recovery on your family’s entire photo library. 😟💾 It’s taught me a huge amount technically, but the biggest change has been empathy. Concepts like resilience, simplicity, and recoverability feel very different when the people waiting for a fix live in your house. What hobby has unexpectedly made you better at your day job?16Views1like0CommentsSnapshot protection
Hi guys, i'm trying to implement some kind of snapshot protection throughout all of our arrays. I have enabled Fusion. We're currently protecting the data with a 3rd party backup solution. I'm wondering how much of an impact to performance and space is enabled snapshots going to cause?. Since we're already protected, we're not looking into a very long retention with these backups (probably a week or so). I'm open to recommendations around this topic.

Hi Everyone, We're new Pure customers this year and have two Flasharray C models, one for virtual infrastructure and the other will be used solely as a storage repository to back up those virtual machines using Veeam Backup and Replication. Our plan is to move away from the current windows-based Veeam v12 in favor of Veeam v13 hardened Linux appliances. We're in the design phase now but have Veeam v13 working great in separate environment with VMware and HPE Nimble. Our question is around Pure Storage and Veeam v13 integration and Plugin support. Veeam's product team mentions there is native integrations in v12, but that storage vendors should be "adopting USAPI" going forward. Is this something that Pure is working on, or maybe already has completed with Veeam Backup and Replication v13?6.1KViews4likes31Comments
