Reading Time: 2 minutesIn a previous post I’ve described the limits of the (legacy) vSphere Client, especially in the 5.5 version. But also the (new) vSphere Web Client has some limits, also in the 5.5 version. First to all is VMware vSphere Web Client really a multi-platform solution? It could be, but the Flash framework (and the VM console plugin) imply some possible portability issues. Starting with 5.5 version (see 5.5a or 5.5b release notes) Linux is no more supported: Because Linux platforms are no longer supported by Adobe Flash, vSphere Web Client is not supported on the […]
Reading Time: 3 minutesAs already mentioned, there could be several reasons for not upgrading to vSphere 5.5, and some are also related to the client for Windows (the vSphere Client). OF course, it will be supplanted by the new vSphere Web Client, but still this client is required for some activities (eg update the host with VUM). In addition, the Web Client works only with vCenter Server, and then in standalone configurations or configurations with the free hypervisor (which can not be managed by vCenter Server), the “old” client becomes mandatory (unless use command line). Trivially also for […]

Reading Time: < 1 minuteIn previous post we have already see how add custom drivers to an ESXi installation ISO and how use ImageBuilder to make custom ESXi ISO, but in other cases you may need to define some custom settings during the installation or add custom vib files. Booting from CD is not the only way, but custom ISO could be used also for boot from USB or for boot from virtual devices (like the iDRAC or ILOE).
Reading Time: 2 minutesGlobalKnowledge as realize a new list of top paying certification (see 15 Top Paying Certifications for 2014). Each year they present this kind of report (see also the 2013 and 2012 note). As usual, some high level certifications are not represented due to their exclusive nature. These include CCIE: Cisco Certified Internetworking Expert and VCDX: VMware Certified Design Expert, and mainly all the Top IT Certifications. Also the truth is that several factors, including geography, industry, experience, and yes, certifications, combine to play a major role in determining an individual’s salary.
