Reading Time: 2 minutesThe US edition of VMworld 2017 is finally over and maybe you want to know what’s new (or if there are something news compared to previous year). Of course there are. Again Michael Dell was present during the keynote of the second day, side to side with Pat Gelsinger: Dell Technologies has becoming more and more present, although VMware seems to have still a good independence. Both general sessions are available on demand.

What does it mean, that the HTML5-based vSphere Client will become the only GUI client… finally! After the death of the vSphere Client for Windows, written with C# and with several issues, like the console issues with Windows 10, but also with several inconsistency with the others clients, now it’s the turn of the Flash based client.
Reading Time: 2 minutesOne propertiers of VMware (standard) virtual switches was the number of ports per switch. A parameter (120 was the default in ESXi 5.x) that define how many virtual NIC and/or vmkernel interfaces you can connect to the virtual switch portgroups.

Reading Time: < 1 minuteOne year ago, VMware has started new vExpert (sub)programs on different technologies. One was the vExpert vSAN. I was honored to part of the first list. Now the list for 2017 vExperts who received the vSAN award has been published. The program is build upon the vExpert program. To apply you must be a current vExpert as well as evangelizing VMware Virtual SAN. There will be an application once per year for each of the sub-programs.
