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.

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 […]

Reading Time: 3 minutesStarting from this year, opvizor has two main products: opvizor Health analyzer (the historical SaaS product) and now also opvizor Snapwatcher. Snapwatcher is a free product to help VMware administrators detect broken snapshots lurking in their virtual environments. The product has start as a free beta on Feb 25th 2015 and was created to address the broken or invalid snapshots issues in VMware virtual environments. The problem with these snapshots are that a single snapshot’s Delta-file is able to grow to the same size of the original file. And does not only mean a space […]

Reading Time: 4 minutesPochi mesi fa il tean di VMware Workstation aveva annunciato la disponibilità della beta pubblica del nuovo prodotto, chiamato temporaneamente VMware Workstation Technology Preview 2015, lasciando presagire un rilascio verso fine anno del prodotto definitivo.
