Reading Time: 8 minutesDuring holidays, reading some books could be a pleasure but also a moment of growth and deepening. And if you want to learn more on VMware NSX-v or NSX-T which book could be used?

Reading Time: 2 minutesWith VMware vSAN you can use VMware vSphere Update Manager (VUM) to update all the software part, but it can also be useful to manage some hardware related updates. Usually you have to check BIOS version (for example for Spectre and Meltdown bugs), but also the other firmware.
Reading Time: 5 minutesVMware Horizon version 7.6 was released on September 2018, with a lot of new features, and now VMware has just released the new version of VMware Horizon: version 7.7 has several improvements as documented in the release notes. Definitely VDI is not dead, and each year is an important year for VDI and EUC. And not only Horizon 7 version 7.7 has been released, but also VMware Horizon Client 4.10. Other products remain at the same version (VMware ThinApp 5.2.4, VMware Mirage 5.9.1, VMware App Volumes 2.15.0 and 3.0, VMware User Environment Manager 9.6.0). More information on […]
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 minutesHot-add trasport mode is a valuable solution for serveral environment, but is not necessary the fastest (see Slow speed in hot-add transport mode backup) or the best solution. But for some environments (for example VMware vSAN) it’s the recommended approach. But in VMware vSphere 6.5 and 6.7 that can be some issues using hot-add on proxy with a huge number of virtual disks. Note that this issue is resolved in ESXi 6.5 P03 and ESXi 6.7 U1.
Reading Time: 3 minutesCome probabilmente ricorderete, VMware vSphere Data Protection (VDP) è la soluzione di backup di VMware inclusa in tutte le edizioni di vSphere a partire dalla Essential Plus in su e introdotta per la prima volta in vSphere 5.1. Però VMware ne ha decretato la End of Availability (EOA) e VMware vSphere 6.5 è stata l’ultima versione di vSphere ad includere questo prodotto. VMware preferisce focalizzarsi meglio sulla parte di vSphere Storage APIs – Data Protection framework, magari con un’attenzione maggiore alla qualità dello stesso.
Reading Time: 3 minutesThe last week I’ve realized an article for the StarWind blog and focused on the design and architecture of VMware vCenter and PSC topologies (see VMware vCenter and PSC topologies). Some days ago, there was an interesting post from Emad Younis, on how the external PSC deployment it’s not only an old approach, but will also become no more supported in future release of vSphere (see: External Platform Services Controller, A Thing of the Past).
