VMware Workstation 15 and VMware Fusion 11

After one year from the release of VMware Workstation 14 and VMware Fusion 10, VMware has just released VMware Workstation 15, VMware Player 15 (for Windows and Linux PCs) and VMware Fusion 11 (for MacOSX).

A good celebration of VMware’s 20th anniversary, considering that the first product was VMware Workstation.

And a good news, considering that two year ago there were some rumors and doubts about the future of Workstation and Fusion products, due to the laying off some employees from the related teams.

Dell EMC PowerVault ME4 for the SMB market

12 September 2018 Andrea Mauro

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Dell EMC has probably a storage portfolio too rich and with some overlaps, due to the EMC acquisition, and I was quite sure that the Dell PowerVault MD storage series was destined for early obsolescence to be replaced by the Compellent series.

But obviously, I was wrong. Dell EMC announced a new PowerVault line: Dell EMC PowerVault ME4.

As the previous PowerVault MD series, also the new PowerVault ME4 (very strange name) is targeted for the specific SMB market.
