Reading Time: 4 minutes The Intel® Xeon® CPU Max Series is designed to maximize bandwidth with the new high-bandwidth memory (HBM). This processo is architected to unlock performance and speed discoveries in data-intensive workloads, such as modeling, artificial intelligence, deep learning, high performance computing (HPC) and data analytics.
Reading Time: 3 minutes GPU support in VMware vSphere has been for a while starting with the VDI scenario. But can GPUs be used in vSphere for applications other than VDI? Using GPU not for graphics but for computing… because for some type of operation, GPU can be better than CPU. For example, machine learning models involve very large matrix multiplications and GPUs are designed to compute these operations much faster than CPUs. VMware vSphere allows your end users to consume GPUs in VMs in the same way they do in any GPU-enabled public cloud instance or on bare […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes A Data Processing Unit (DPU) is a programmable computer processor that tightly integrates a general-purpose CPU with network interface hardware. In VMware, starting with vSphere 8.0, DPU can be used to offload workloads from an x86 host to a DPU, as well as providing an additional layer of security by having an air-gapped environment running some of the processes. This is the result of Project Monterey.
Reading Time: 3 minutes VMware vSphere Clustering Service (vCLS) was introduced in the vSphere 7 Update 1 release with the idea of creating a decoupled and distributed control plane for clustering services in vSphere. In the first release, a subset of DRS capabilities was using the new vCLS feature and starting with vCenter 7.0.1, VMware vSphere Distributed Resource Scheduler (vSphere DRS) cannot function if vSphere Cluster Services VMs are not present in each vSphere cluster.
Reading Time: 3 minutes One of the big news of the vSphere 8.0.3 (8.0 Update 3) version if the ability of live patch ESXi without reboot the host and without migrate the workloads! With the new Live Patching capability in ESXi, customers can address critical bugs in the virtual machine execution environment and apply patches to all components without reboot or VM evacuation. Virtual machines are Fast-Suspend-Resumed (FSR) as part of the host remediation process, for this reason this new feature is not compatible with some specific cases (like VM protected by vSphere FT or VM with PCI passthough).
Reading Time: 4 minutes VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) is a way to simplify the path to a modernized private cloud, integrating compute, storage, networking, and management into a unified software-defined data center platform. VMware by Broadcom has just launched VCF 5.2 on June 25, 2024, and will be Generally Available onJuly 22, 2024. This launch is not just a product update; it’s an evolution designed to address your most pressing needs while aligning with our strategic initiatives: modernizing infrastructure, enhancing cloud experience for developers, and ensuring security and resilience.
Reading Time: 9 minutes VMware by Broadcom has just released vSphere 8.0 Update 3. Note that ESXi 8.0 Update 3 releaseis an Initial Availability (IA) designation. The vCenter Server 8.0 Update 3 release instead is a General Availability (GA) designation. For more information on the vSphere 8.0 IA/GA Release Model of vSphere Update releases, see The vSphere 8 Release Model Evolves.
