Reading Time: 3 minutesVMware Virtual SAN (VSAN) 6.1 è stata annuncita durante il recente VMworld US 2015 e sicuramente è stata enfatizzata rispetto ad altri prodotti (ad esempio vSphere) per le sue nuove funzionalità e per l’attenzione sempre maggiore che VMware ha verso questo prodotto.

Reading Time: 2 minutesSeveral months ago VMware announce vSphere APIs for IO Filtering (VAIO) as a solution to implement 3rd Party Software-Defined Data Services in vSphere 6.0. VAIO offers partners the ability to put their technology directly into the IO stream of a VM through a filter that intercepts data before it is committed to disk. It’s a good and efficient idea to implement features like caching or replication without the need of external components (or appliance) or kernel modules like today.
