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. Ora si può finalmente provare ed è disponibile nella pagina di download di VMware vSphere. Sì nel download di vSphere: poiché VSAN è implementata a livello di hypervisor ed è già inclusa in vSphere non esiste un download vero e proprio (esiste solo la licenza venduta a parte): VSAN 6.1 è parte integrante […]

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 […]
