Reading Time: 3 minutesQuando si parla di IPv6, molti sistemisti si limitano a disabilitare questo protocollo, per tutta una serie di ragioni, spesso storiche, tra le quali possiamo annoverare: IPv6 potrebbe causare problemi in rete o sull’host (una volta forse), meglio applicare il principio del minimo privilegio e disattivare tutto quello che non mi serve (effettivamente se non utilizzo un protocollo di rete perché mai lo dovrei tenere attivo?), semplicamente per pulizia e per non vedere quegli indirizzi incomprensibili (qua è più una questione di abitudine, forse). Già sui sistemi Linux e Windows recenti tentare di togliere l’IPv6 […]

Reading Time: 5 minutesStarting with VMware Horizon 7 it’s possible to choose two different way to deliver space optimized desktop pools: using VMware Composer and Linked Clones technology (existing from several years) or use the new Instant Clones technology (introduced with vSphere 6.0). Similar to View Composer linked clones, instant clones share a virtual disk of a parent VM and therefore consume less storage than full VMs. In addition, instant clones share the memory of a parent VM. Instant clones are created using the vmFork technology. An Instant Clone desktop pool has the following key characteristics:

Reading Time: 3 minutesVMware vSphere 6.5 Update 1 è stato rilasciato il 27 luglio 2017 con numerosi miglioramenti, bug fix, ma anche alcuni importanti cambiamenti, come ad esempio nei numeri massimi (for i vCenter in linked-mode) e nel tipo di licenza.

Reading Time: 4 minutesOne year ago there were some rumors and doubts about the future of Workstation and Fusion product, due to the laying off some employees. from the related teams. But Workstation 12 has got some updates and also a 12.5 version. And now there is also a new VMware Workstation Technology Preview 2017 release!

Reading Time: 12 minutesThis is the last part of a set of posts realized for StarWind blog and focused on the design and implementation of a ROBO infrastructure. See also the original post. Design a ROBO infrastructure. Part 5: Data protection solutions Business continuity aspects In previous posts we have already discuss about several business continuity aspects in ROBO scenarios. For example, a reasonable availability level could be between 99% and 99,99%, but there are some workloads that may require higher level (or other that are not critical at all). But availability could be achieved by a good infrastructure design and […]

Reading Time: 14 minutesThis is the fourth part of a set of posts realized for StarWind blog and focused on the design and implementation of a ROBO infrastructure. See also the original post. Design a ROBO infrastructure. Part 4: HCI solutions 2-nodes hyperconverged solution As written in the previous post, for ROBO scenario the most interesting HCI (Hyper-Converged Infrastructure) configuration is a two nodes configuration, considering that two nodes could be enough to run dozen VMs (or also more). For this reason, not all hyperconverged solutions could be suitable for this case (for example Nutanix or Simplivity need at least 3 […]

Reading Time: 2 minutesThe new VMware Virtual SAN (or vSAN) 6.6 adds several enchaments and new features as described in the announce notes. Some interesting news are related to security aspects and how data-at-rest could be protected: one option could be new vSphere 6.5 VM encryption format but now it’s also possible use the native vSAN encryption. Duncan’s post explains the difference of those two approaches.
