Reading Time: 5 minutesAbout Flowmon Flowmon Networks was a global network intelligence company acquired by Kemp in November 2020.

Reading Time: 3 minutesDellEMC PowerStore is the new product line that will replace the old Equallogic/SC/VNX/Unity series. It’s a nice product with a mix of the features of all those prevuious products and a new modern design both in the hardware and the software parts. From VMware vSphere point of view it can be access as a block level storage with iSCSI and/or FC protocols, but it has also a native vVols implementation and, for example, in the PowerStoreX model it’s the default way to access at the storage resources.
Reading Time: 2 minutesThe file-level backup feature introduced in vCSA 6.5 is very powerfull and schedulable (starting with vCSA 6.7) because sometimes the image-level backup may not provide the proper integrity if you have corrupted files inside the VM. Also with vSphere 7.0 is possible monitoring the status of the file-level backup directly from vSphere Client and this is quite usefull to have this information direct visible from the UI:
Reading Time: 4 minutesEvolution of the security landscape The digital security landscape has changed faster in the last years and more in the last months with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Reading Time: 2 minutesNVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF) is a perfect alternative to the tradition protocols (iSCSI, FC, iSER, SMB3, and NFS) used to access external enterprise storage. These protocols are good for SAS drives, but they are proven to be inefficient for NVMe flash devices because they are using legacy commands sets designed for generic drives. The new NVMe-oF use the same NVMe commands designed only for fast flash drivers.
