Reading Time: 4 minutesAs written, VMware has announced and released the new VMware View 5.1 version with several improvements. One difference is that in this version the upgrade path is a little more complicated compared to previous upgrade procedures (see VMware View 5.0.1 upgrade path and Upgrade path to vSphere 5 – The View 5 part) due to some changes and a limited compatibility matrix! As you can notice, new VMware Connection Servers can “talk” with old (5.0 and 4.6) Connection Servers, Agents, but only during the upgrade phase. Also new Connection Servers could not work with old […]

Reading Time: 3 minutesLast week I’ve taken the official VCAP5-DCD, to remediate the failure of the VCAP5-DCD beta and try to gain this certification. The exam is really huge: The VDCD510 exam contains 100 questions (in the beta 131). The total time for this exam is 225 minutes (same of the beta). Candidates who take the VDCD510 exam in a country where English is not a primary language will have an additional 30 minutes added to the exam time. This time extension is automatic, no additional action is required from the candidate. There were jsut a few questions with a […]
Reading Time: 4 minutesIn my interview with Sakthi Chandra (NexentaVSA for View Director), during the last Open Storage Summit EMEA, we have talk about the Nexenta approach of the storage for a VDI environment. Their product has been developed from a collaboration with VMware and some aspects sound familiar: for example the overview of the VSA deployment and design seems similar to the VMware VSA, except the scalability limit (that is limited to max 3 host for the VMware solution). But I don’t want talk about the product, yet (I prefer dedicate it a post, when I will […]
