Reading Time: 5 minutesDuring the past VMworld US 2015, I’ve also attend at the last Tech Field Day extra day and got the opportunity to know Datto. Datto is an innovative provider of comprehensive backup, recovery and business continuity solutions used by thousands of managed service providers worldwide. This is the description from their web site, but honestly was not so easy understand what they really during the first part of the presentation.
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: 6 minutesIn the previous post I’ve introduced the Altaro’s VM backup solution, started with a Hyper-V only product, now is becoming a multi-hypervisor product that support also VMware vSphere (up to version 6.0). As mentioned previously, their original product was also renamed to Altaro VM Backup (from Altaro Hyper-V Backup). To manage backup configuration and jobs you need a Windows machine that can be either: Windows Server 2008 R2, 2012 and 2012 R2 Windows 7 (64-bit) and 8 (64-bit)

Reading Time: 3 minutesVMware Virtual SAN 6.0 (formally was v2.0) was a big improvement of the VMware’s hyperconverged storage solution with some important new features like the new filesystem (with powerful snapshot implementation), the concept of fault domain (to improve data resiliency), more scalability and the full flash option. Now VMware has announced a new release: Virtual SAN (or VSAN) 6.1, with new improvements, including enhanced usability & management, advanced troubleshooting, and several new features.
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 […]
