2 comments

Reading Time: 5 minutesVMware Tools are a set of utilities installed in the guest operating system that improve the control of the virtual machine making the administration easier, can increase the overall performance providing paravirtualized drivers and add also new features and capabilities (for example the snapshots with quiesciencing). Usually VMware Tools are included with ESXi deployment, but starting with November 2nd, 2015 there are also a standalone version of VMware Tools that can be downloaded as a VMware Tools packages ZIP or TAR.GZ file (or also a VIB file). Downloads are available at this link.

Reading Time: 3 minutesRed Hat Virtualization is one of the different virtualization platform available. It was one of the first OpenSource platforms with a good management layer and quite general to virtualize Linux but also Microsoft Windows workloads. Built on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and the Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM), it features management tools that virtualize resources, processes, and applications—giving you a stable foundation for a cloud-native and containerized future.

Reading Time: 4 minutesWe have already talked about the VMware Cloud Provider Platform, but what about its Cloud Management Platform for the customers (and not the providers)?

VMworld 2018 US news: vSAN 6.7U1

27 August 2018

Reading Time: 6 minutesWith the announce of the new vSphere 6.7 Update 1 you should expect also a new version of VMware vSAN (the bits are included in vSphere) and that’s it: vSAN 6.7 Update 1 (strange that has not been used the name vSAN 6.8). VMware vSAN has grown very fast in those years, not only in the number of versions (quite impressive) but also in the customers’ adoption, with more than 14000 organizations using vSAN and with a 110% growth year-over-year.

VMworld 2018 US news: vSphere 6.7U1 and vSphere Platinum

27 August 2018

Reading Time: 5 minutesAs usual, VMworld has several announcements, and for the second year in a row, there are some important announcements about the core virtualization platform: VMware vSphere. First news is a not surprising new vSphere 6.7 Update 1… At the begin of the year, my bet was that vSphere 6.7 was announced during VMworld US and maybe vSphere 6.7 Update 1 at VMworld EU, but seems that the releasing of the product has been accelerated (in my opinion to accelerate vSAN growing).

VMware and its Cloud Provider Platform

26 August 2018

Reading Time: 3 minutesIn the past, the relationship between VMware and the public cloud was, in my opinion, quite confusing. Initially a vCloud program for third-party cloud services providers, then the VMware vCloud Air era (in direct competition with the third-party cloud services providers), then the idea to sell the vCloud Air brand to OVH (one of the third-party cloud services providers)… And now? Again a strong third-party cloud services providers program, but also VMware Cloud on AWS.
