Reading Time: 4 minutesIPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4) is a widely used protocol for network communication and is a core component of the TCP/IP stack. But it has some limits, one is the limit in terms of available addresses, expecially if we are talking about public IP.

The vulnerability is identified as CVE-2024-38063 and it’s a 9.8-out-of-10 on the CVSS severity scale. Note that, on Windows systems the IPv6 is enabled by default and, in the past, Microsoft itself has not recommend disabling IPV6: ” We do not recommend that you disable IPv6 or its components, or some Windows components may not function.” (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/929852)
Reading Time: 2 minutesDCIG has just published of the 2024-25 DCIG TOP 5 SMB/Edge VMware vSphere Alternatives Report. This report provides guidance on the DCIG TOP 5 VMware vSphere alternative solutions that smaller organizations should consider as they address Broadcom’s recent changes to VMware’s software licensing. SMBs and organizations with edge environments possess different requirements for a VMware vSphere alternative than enterprises. They still need a vSphere alternative to offer specific core features. These include high-availability, product reliability, software-defined storage, software-defined networking, and the ability to host Windows and Linux guest OSes. They also often look to the provider to […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteBefore the decision of Broadcom to sell the VMware’s EUC Division, the compatibility between (VMware) Horizon and VMware vSphere was simply included in the Product Interoperability Matrix. But now, of course this VMware site is no more updated because does not include recent versions of both products:
Reading Time: 2 minutesVMware vSphere ships with many metrics and properties. If we take object by object, and document metrics by metrics, it will be both dry and theoretical. You will be disappointed as it does not explain how your real world problems are solved. You’re not in the business of collecting metric.
