Reading Time: 3 minutesAlso some months after the release the new vSphere 6.0, one of the main reason to don’t use in a production environment remain the compatibility aspect. If most of the VMware products it’s fine from this point, it isn’t the same for the 3rd part backup products. One month ago I’ve wrote a post Backup products and vSphere 6.0 compatibility were only few products were available. Now there are some changes in this list.

2 comments

Reading Time: 5 minutesOne issue about VMware NSX it that it does not exist an evaluation or a trial code in order to study and test it.
