Book review: VMware Horizon Workspace Essentials

23 June 2014
No comments

Reading Time: 2 minutesI’ve got the opportunity to read one of the few book about the Horizon Workspace solution: VMware Horizon Workspace Essentials from Peter von Oven, Peter Bjork and Joel Lindberg. This book came from a different editor, compared to most of the VMware related books (from VMware Press) that is Packt Publishing and has several interesting books (really a lot on virtualization and still growing). As written this is one of the few resources (or the only one?) about VMware Horizon Workspace that is a really interesting product, but with not so much labs, course and material compared […]

Hyper-converged storage momentum

12 June 2014
No comments

Reading Time: 3 minutesHyper-converged architectures consolidate and manage computing, networking, and storage resources via software so they can run on any vendor’s server hardware. Several years ago they where (apparently) strange approach to storage implementation used mainly for cheap solution (using VSA, that lacks, in much cases, of right scalability), or for special user cases like ROBO or VDI (with solution like NexentaVSA for View). But starting with Nutanix (probably the first real player in those kind of solution) the idea of simple VSA (Virtual Storage Appliance) has dramatically changed by introducing a large scalability with new scale-out (or web-scale, […]

Storage scale-up vs. scale-out

11 June 2014
No comments

Reading Time: 5 minutesIn an old post about storage architectures is described in a simple way some basic concepts, including the scale-in (or scale-up) vs. the scale-out approach. They are different approaches in scaling with different implications. Unfortunately there is a simple an well accepted definition on what is a scale-out storage is (or not is): some are limited in specific contests (like this one only for NAS or this SNIA tutorial still applied to a NAS storage), other are too much vendor specific. But usually a scale-out storage imply: Multi-device (or multi-array) storage systems (aggregated in a […]

E2EVC 2014 Brussels: event report

Reading Time: 4 minutesThe 2014 spring (EMEA) edition of E2EVC is now over and it’s time to archive it and take some considerations.

The 22th edition (counting also to past LAX edition) was from May 30 to June 1, 2014 in Brussels, Belgium, as usually starting from Friday until mid Sunday. This was my second time (I’ve attend also at the E2EVC XX Rome event) and I can confirm the reason to attend at this kind of event (see E2EVC 2014 Brussels: Why […]

Using Linux in a vSphere Console

Reading Time: 3 minutesUsing Linux as a guest OS in a VMware vSphere environment it’s, of course, well supported and more distributions are officially supported in vSphere 5 making more easy deploy Linux VM or Linux based virtual appliances. For the remote management a good option it’s usually use the SSH protocol, for the initial installation (or other special cases) you will need to use vSphere Console. Using the client from a Linux box could be difficult but with the new vSphere Web Client not so much, for more information see the KB 1006095 (Availability of vSphere Client […]
