Reading Time: 3 minutesWith the new version of System Center Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) 2012, the features gap is slowly reduced from the vSphere vCenter Server. But the positioning and the comparison remain not so simple due to different license (and different cost), different set of features, and different integration with other products. Note also that some features in Microsoft environment are not depending from VMM but are features of the Hyper-V or the FailOver Cluster part (so are basically included in the free Hyper-V Server), for this reason some features will change when VMM 2012 will be […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteOne of the new features of System Center VMM 2012 is the ability of manage a supported storage. In a previous post, I’ve described, for example, how manage a Dell storage. One interesting aspect that I’ve found in a recent event, is that also a Virtual Storage Appliance (VSA) could be managed in the same way. Of course it must export the required interfaces to System Center, and also be supported on Hyper-V (if it runs on this kind of hypervisor). One the first products that has introduced this functionality was StarWind (that realized basically […]
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: […]
Reading Time: 3 minutesIn previous post we have described the installation of opvizor agent. After this step a configuration is needed in order to start the data collection. Configuration could be started after the installation phase or simple by open the browser on the local server web (and by choosing the Configure opvizor Agent Settings): Basically you need to specify the opvizor data (platform server is opvizor.com) included your user account credential. Also you can configure the email and proxy settings: Then you have to specify the vCenter Server configuration and credentials: Finally you can review the data […]
Reading Time: 3 minutesIn the previous post I’ve introduced what is Opvizor, the architecture and the possible benefit of it. Now let’s see the install procedure. First you have to register to the main site, then you can download the latest version of the agent (that is just the data collector). Actually is a Windows service… I’ve asked why not a virtual appliance, but this is just a simple service and the VA options was too big (and not so required) compared to the single .EXE file. Installation is quite simple: just run the Windows Installer and step […]
