Meltdown and Spectre can affect personal computers, mobile devices, server and several cloud services. Actually, the only way to minimize those security risks is to apply different type of patches at different levels, including operating systems, the hypervisor , the hardware level, …

Reading Time: 6 minutesAfter few weeks of the recent Intel CPU security bug, not yet closed (considering that affect also the recent Skylake family), there are new threads on the CPU. Meltdown and Spectre are critical vulnerabilities existing in several modern CPU: these hardware bugs allow programs to steal data which is currently processed on the computer. Meltdown and Spectre can affect personal computers, mobile devices, server and several cloud services. Depending on the bug, the affected CPU are Intel processors (since 1995!), some AMD CPUs, and several ARM-based Samsung and Qualcomm system-on-chips used for mobile phones.
Reading Time: 3 minutesNow that the PSOD on vSphere 6.5 and 10 Gbps NICs issue is finally solved seems that vSphere 6.5 critical bugs are closed, but it’s not totally true. During an upgrade from a vSphere 6.0, I’ve found a really strange iSCSI storage issues where all the VMs on the iSCSI datastore were so slow to become un-usable. First I was thinking about drivers or firmware, in the hosts and in the NIC (1 Gbps) or the firmware on the storage.
Reading Time: 17 minutesThis is an article realized for StarWind blog and focused on the design and implementation of a stretched cluster. A stretched cluster, sometimes called metro-cluster, is a deployment model in which two or more host servers are part of the same logical cluster but are located in separate geographical locations, usually two sites. In order to be in the same cluster, the shared storage must be reachable in both sites. Stretched cluster, usually, are used and provided high availability (HA) and load balancing features and capabilities and build active-active sites.
