29 August 2019
1 comment

Reading Time: 3 minutes During VMworld US 2019 there was also space for some “minor” products like Workstation and Fusion. “Minor”, but still important in the future of VMware… and really important in the past (first VMware’s product was VMware Workstation). Also it’s good sign see that those products are still vital, considering that three year ago there were some rumors and doubts about the future of Workstation and Fusion products, due to the laying off some employees from the related teams.

22 August 2019
4 comments

Reading Time: 5 minutes VMware vSAN 6.7U3 it’s out and maybe you would like to upgrade your environment. But note that there are some possible performance issue with vSphere 6.7U3 on Dell servers. In my opinion, one reason to upgrade is to finally have the automatical proactive rebalancing feature. You can automate all rebalancing activities with cluster-wide configuration and threshold settings. Prior to this release, proactive rebalancing was manually initiated after being alerted by vSAN health checks.
