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.
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).
Reading Time: 2 minutesVMware has announced the intent to acquire CloudHealth Technologies, a company that delivers a cloud operations platform across AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud. CloudHealth Technologies platform enables customers to help analyze and manage cloud cost, usage, security and performance centrally for native public clouds.
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.
Reading Time: 6 minutesThe new vSphere Client in HTML5 introduced with vSphere 6.5 was originally a Flings project called: vSphere HTML5 Web Client. The name is inconsistent now, but the Flings project mantain the original name to avoid something like ‘vSphere Client Fling’ and also to keep its independed devel path. And on August 22, 2018 a new release of the Fling version has been released: v3.41 – Build 9687895.
Reading Time: 4 minutesVMware has just officially announced that their certifications will change the names with something different and no more related to the product version. New certification names will be identified by the year they are earned. Potentially this will make easier to immediately identify how current a certification is.
Reading Time: 3 minutesVMware NSX Data Center for vSphere is the new name of NSX-v and NSX-t for the on-prem case, and version 6 is actually referring to the specific edition for VMware vSphere that use the vCenter Server UI has the main UI also for all the NSX part. There are other NSX products, but VMware has just announced a new minor version for the vSphere related product: NSX Data Center for vSphere v6.4.2 it’s out. The release notes describe all the new features and improvement of this release:
