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).
Reading Time: 5 minutesIl VMworld EU 2018 si è concluso ed, come al solito, è ora di tirare le somme su quanto è successo. Ci sono stati novità rispetto all’edizione americana?

Che si svolgerà (ancora) a Barcellona e che è previsto sempre a Novembre dal 4 al 7. Per saperne di più ci si può iscrivere come VMworld Insider e ricevere le ultime novità.
Reading Time: 5 minutesDuring the VMworld US 2018, one of the announces was the VMware ESXi for ARM porting, specific for the embedded and edge IoT systems, so not like a general purpose solution for all ARM servers (but an interesting move to increase the possibility for bringing the virtualization on ARM). VMware demonstrated ESXi on 64-bit ARM running on ARM hardware built to common industry standards; note that VMware demonstrates not just virtualization, but also resilient operations and ease of management at the Edge, via FT-protected 64-bit Arm VMs and vMotion in a high-availability DRS cluster…
Reading Time: 12 minutesThis is an article realized for StarWind blog and focused on the design and architecture of VMware vCenter and PSC topologies. See the original post. You can “federate” multiple vCenter Server systems using vCenter Linked Mode (introduced in vSphere 4.0) to build a single pane of glass and share information between vCenter instances, like view and manage the inventories of all the vCenter Server systems that are linked.
Reading Time: 3 minutesDuring the VMworld 2018 Europe, VMware has announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Heptio, a leader in the open Kubernetes ecosystem. Terms were not disclosed. Founded in 2016 by Joe Beda and Craig McLuckie, two of the creators of Kubernetes, Heptio has applied its unique insight to a growing set of products, open source projects and contributions to upstream Kubernetes. This is complemented by Heptio’s work with organizations through training, support and professional services that speed integration of Kubernetes and related technologies into the fabric of enterprise IT.
