17 October 2014
No comments

Reading Time: 4 minutesThere are already lots of information about VMware vSphere 6.0 (actually in beta) but one big change has not be publicized so much: starting in December with the next ESXi Update release, TPS (Transparent Page Sharing) among virtual machines will no longer be enabled by default and this will not only be applied to next release, but also on current releases. This actually does not mean that will be not be available (at least not in the short period), but is another historical piece that will be not used by default, like the vSphere Client (first […]

New and old VMware products suite

30 September 2014
No comments

Reading Time: 3 minutesAs other companies and vendors, VMware is using the suite concept to identify a products collection with similar scope (or complementar functions) and usually with a common lifecycle plan (at least after that the suite is declared). It does not mean that all the products in a single suite will have a common look & feel or same versions, but new release are (usually) handled in a common way. The vSphere suite was probably the first one defined by VMware (before ESX and vCenter Server were two different products and with different versions) and after […]

2 September 2014
Comments off

Reading Time: 3 minutesAs written in a previous post, VMware NSX was one of the cool topics during the past VMworld and new version of this products has been announce. User cases are more and more and probably one of most interesting (and natural) usage of Network Virtualization is the micro-segmentation. This can give an immediate advantage in using this technology, and can also give an answer to a common security issue. Today’s security models are focuses on perimeter defense, but continued security breaches show this model is not enough. A deep and more granular approach is needed […]
