No comments

Reading Time: 3 minutes As other companies and vendors, VMware is using the suite concept to identify a products collection with similar scope (or complementar functions) and usually with a common lifecycle plan (at least after that the suite is declared). It does not mean that all the products in a single suite will have a common look & feel or same versions, but new release are (usually) handled in a common way. The vSphere suite was probably the first one defined by VMware (before ESX and vCenter Server were two different products and with different versions) and after […]

This solution is not only a new approach to a scale out architecture (confirming this kind of storage trend) but also an innovative way to build converged (and also hyperconverged) systems.

No comments

Reading Time: 3 minutes Dell’s networking portfolio was historically made by a Dell PowerConnect series for the switches in the SMB and mid-size target and the PowerConnect-W for the wireless offer. Some years ago there was also a PowerConnect-J series with the (temporally) partnership with Juniper (before the Force10 acquisition). The Dell Force10 was positioned in the top of the networking offer with several products both for the traditional networking approach (core, aggregation and access) and also for the emerging model (leaf-spine). But recently the entire networking family has been re-organized and renamed with new names, a clear positioning […]

There is also a specific path for Cloud Application Platform (related to developer for the Spring framework), but actually could be considered as something apart and also is not included in the official VMware Certification Roadmap. On the partner side some of those […]
