Consideration about storage architectures

30 July 2012
Comments off

Reading Time: 5 minutesStorage is an important part of a virtual infrastructure, but compared with the server part (that provide computational “power”) the different storage vendor’s solutions are not so homogeneous and easy to compare or understand. Of course because there are different positioning but also a lot of different aspects, but in most cases, the most important aspects are also the “hidden” or the less described. What is probably clear is the difference between local storage (DAS) and shared storage (SAN or NAS, but sometimes also some kind of DAS) and why shared storage is so important: […]

One year of blog

24 July 2012
Comments off

Reading Time: < 1 minuteJust one year ago this blog has started its life (see the first official post: Blog goes live). Was a really intense year and a big challenge (more than 300 posts, with different length, but in most cases both in English and Italian), with several satisfactions. For example, I’ve tried to participate at the top virtualization blogs contents and the results where really interesting: I’ve received some votes and vInfrastructure site is 54 in the entire rank and 3rd in the Favorite New Blog list (and some mentions, included one from the Number 1)! Also […]

Microsoft certifications: MCSA & MCSE are back

16 July 2012
Comments off

Reading Time: < 1 minuteI’ve already written a post about the reintroduction of the MCSA and MCSE certifications. Now that some of them are live (MCSA on Windows Server 2008 was the first, now also the MCSE on Private Cloud is available) the new certification schema has become more clear. Seems that there on new products only this model will be adopted (so probably no new version of MCTS or MCITP certification) and those MCSE certifications are already be announced: MCSE Private Cloud: already available… Is the new version of the MCITP on virtualization and management. MCSE Server Infrastructure: […]

What’s happen to the virtualization ecosystem?

Reading Time: 2 minutesIn the last years, in the virtualization ecosystem, there where three big trends: one is the shifting from a single hypervisor to a multi-hypervisors (originally was mainly a VMware ecosystem, now is a virtualization ecosystem) the second is the reduction of the number of players, at least in some fields like backup e monitoring, due to some acquisitions (for example Quest has bought VizionCore and VKernel… Novell has bought Platespin…) the third is that the big vendors are directly involved and in competition: for example VMware is working on some solutions, like VDR for backup […]

VCDX Spotlight

Comments off

Reading Time: 5 minutesFrom an initiative of Gregg Robertson, this is a short interview. The original page is at: VCDX Spotlight- Andrea Mauro How did you get into using VMware? As most people I’ve started of course with VMware Workstation and honestly not with the ESX 1.0 (I remember that was not possible, at least in my Country) to have an evaluation or trial version. My first virtualization project (for academic purposes) was building a virtual honeynet with Linux UML (it was the end of 2001). My first virtualization project based for a production system virtualization solution was […]
