Reading Time: 3 minutesThe Dell(EMC) World event has been renamed last year in the Dell Technologies World Conference and has become a very very huge event and this year will be probably bigger than ever. Dell Technologies is the “umbrella” that includes all those companies: Dell, the new DellEMC, Pivotal, RSA, SecureWorks, VirtuStream, VMware.

Reading Time: 3 minutesVMware vSphere Update Manager (VUM) enables centralized, automated patch and version management for VMware vSphere and offers support for VMware ESXi hosts, virtual machines, and virtual appliances. For ESXi hosts it can manage both the update and the upgrade workflows, but can also be powerful for adding custom VIB package, like for example new drivers. Usually it takes the updated files from the VMware repository, but you can also add custom repositories (or depots).

Reading Time: 4 minutesThe Dell Boot Optimized Storage Solution (BOSS) is a new option for the installation of the hypervisor part, in a virtualization enviroment, or more important in a hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) host! The dual SD option was already present in all PowerEdge, also in previous generations, and was a good choice to separate the hypervisor from the disks or simple use diskless based solutions. And was a good option for vSphere ESXi when servers were only used as a compute nodes.

Reading Time: 2 minutesIl Dell Technologies Forum è un evento gratuito, della durata di un giorno, dove sono presenti tutti i brand di Dell Technologies, ossia: Dell, la nuova DellEMC, Pivotal, RSA, SecureWorks, VirtuStream, VMware.

Reading Time: 3 minutesQuick Boot is a vSphere feature that speeds up the upgrade process of an ESXi server.  A regular reboot involves a full power cycle that requires firmware and device initialization.  Quick Boot optimizes the reboot path to avoid this, saving considerable time from the upgrade process. Quick Boot of an ESXi host is a setting that allows VMWare Update Manager (VUM) to optimize the remediation time of hosts that undergo patch and upgrade operations. If the Quick Boot feature is enabled, Update Manager skips the hardware reboot (the BIOS or UEFI firmware reboot). As a result, the […]

Reading Time: 4 minutesDell EMC ha probabilmente un portafoglio di storage probabilmente troppo ricco e con alcune sovrapposizioni, a causa dell’acquisizione EMC, ed ero abbastanza sicuro che la serie di storage Dell PowerVault MD era destinata all’obsolescenza precoce per essere sostituita dalla serie Compellent, come del resto sta accadendo alla serie EqualLogic. Ma evidentemente mi sbagliavo. Dell EMC ha da poco annunciato una nuova linea PowerVault: Dell EMC PowerVault ME4. Come la precedente serie PowerVault MD, anche il nuovo PowerVault ME4 (nome molto strano) è destinato al mercato specifico delle PMI.

Reading Time: 7 minutesLa tecnologia della converged infrastructure riunisce vari elementi dell’infrastruttura alla base dell’IT, tra cui server, data storage device, funzioni di rete, virtualizzazione, software di gestione, orchestration e applicazioni. Le piattaforme converged combinano un sistema di converged infrastructure con una soluzione progettata e integrata, erogata e utilizzata in un unico prodotto. A questi sistemi spesso si attribuiscono nomi diversi, come sistemi blade, sistemi modulari, blocchi, … Ma in sostanza sono tutte soluzioni per avere un approccio modulare e flessibile orientato a blocchi elementari (un po’ come se fossero i mattoncini Lego) per custruire la propria infrastruttura IT:
