But will be not only a barely renaming of an existing product, instead it will be a completely new version with lot of important improvements.

No comments

Reading Time: 3 minutes As 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 […]

Reading Time: 4 minutes VMware’s technical certifications are almost simple and clear: actually there are four paths (Data Center Virtualization, Cloud, End User Computing, Network Virtualization) and for each four different levels (Associate, Professional, Advanced Professional or Implementation Expert, Design Expert) like in a piramid (with the first level optional, as discussed in a previous post). There is also a specific path for Cloud Application Platform (related to developer for the Spring framework), but actually could be considered as something apart and also is not included in the official VMware Certification Roadmap. On the partner side some of those […]

Comments off

Reading Time: 3 minutes As 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.
