Reading Time: < 1 minuteLike in 2012, this year I choose to attend at the US edition of VMworld. I like it in 2012, and probably I would like also this year. Is really different from the European one and sometimes (travels are too costly for European people) deserve a visit. This will be my second VMworld US and I’m really curious and exited! Will be also a VMworld without a new vSphere release (or I least I’ve not seen any beta)… things are changing… new products, new strategies! I’ve already written about my expectation and I hope that […]

Reading Time: 5 minutesLe snapshot di VMware a livello di macchine virtuali hanno utilizzi e finalità ben specifiche e cambiano a seconda dei prodotti ad uso individuale (Fusion e Workstation) rispetto a quelli ad uso enterprise (vSphere). Se in Workstation (o Fusion) sono pensati come strumento di versioning e per creare punti di ripristino delle vostre macchine virtuali (oltre che per creari cloni in modalità linked clone), in vSphere sono pensate principalmente per i programmi di backup: tramite le VADP il programma di backup può avviare una snapshot, in modo da poter poi lavorare su file “statici”, copiarli […]

Reading Time: 3 minutesStarting from this year, opvizor has two main products: opvizor Health analyzer (the historical SaaS product) and now also opvizor Snapwatcher. Snapwatcher is a free product to help VMware administrators detect broken snapshots lurking in their virtual environments. The product has start as a free beta on Feb 25th 2015 and was created to address the broken or invalid snapshots issues in VMware virtual environments. The problem with these snapshots are that a single snapshot’s Delta-file is able to grow to the same size of the original file. And does not only mean a space […]

Reading Time: 4 minutesPochi mesi fa il tean di VMware Workstation aveva annunciato la disponibilità della beta pubblica del nuovo prodotto, chiamato temporaneamente VMware Workstation Technology Preview 2015, lasciando presagire un rilascio verso fine anno del prodotto definitivo. In realtà da poco VMware Workstation 12 è già presente (e se verificate gli aggiornamenti on-line sul vostro Workstation vi viene proposta proprio questa versione) con tante novità. Ma prima di parlare delle novità, introduciamo le due diverse edizioni a pagamento: Workstation Pro (di fatto quello che prima si chiamava semplicemente Workstation) e Workstation Player (in precedenza chiamato Player Pro).

Reading Time: 2 minutesSeagate and Dot Hill Systems have announced a definitive agreement where Seagate will acquire Dot Hill to increase their storage portfolio. Seagate has a long storage history especially in hard disks: they’ve developed the first 5.25-inch hard disk drive in 1980 (the 5-megabyte ST-506), on 2006 Seagate acquired Maxtor, on 2011 acquired the Samsung‘s HDD business. But they have also a storage experience: in 2014 Seagate acquired Xyratex a storage systems company, used in most storage enclousure. The same year it acquired LSI’s Flash Enterprise PCIe flash and SSD controller products, and its engineering capabilities. And X-IO it’s all […]

Reading Time: 4 minutesDopo la build di Windows Server 2016 Technical Preview 2 è ora il turno di una nuova build rilasciata giusto qualche giorno fa: Windows Server 2016 Technical Preview 3 come pure  System Center 2016 Technical Preview 3 (confermando la strategia di unificare ad allineare il rilascio dei due prodotti). Anche se il sistema operativo client (Windows 10) è disponibile già da varie settimane, il sistema operativo server non è ancora definitivo (da questa versione si torna ad avere il sistema operativo server rilasciato successivamente a quello client), ma questa potrebbe essere l’ultima build. Nonostante questo […]
