Reading Time: 2 minutesAs usually in the past years (see for example the 2014), the European VMworld is used to announce new software releases in the VMware Cloud Management Platform. In VMware strategy, Cloud Management is the control plane for the Software-Defined Data Center and the Hybrid Cloud and, of course, is one strategical aspect for both pillars. In the past year there is a shift from multiple products, multiple suites, to a unified platform:
Reading Time: < 1 minuteVeeam has released the version 1.1.2 of Veeam Endpoint Backup with few changes: the most important is the ability to run the task from the command line. In this way you can build your custom job or script to manage your jobs (like appened with the free edition of Veeam Backup & Replication).

For the hypervisor part, except the bug issues fixed, the most interesting news are the certification of PVSCSI Adapter, where the PVSCSI adapter is certified for use with MSCS, core clustering and applications including SQL and Exchange, and the support for Next Generation Processors, with the addition of next generation processors from Intel and AMD.
Reading Time: 2 minutesCome annunciato durante il VMworld US 2015, nella sessione “INF5123 – Managing vSphere Deployments and Upgrades – Part 2”, le VMware Tools sono rilasciate come pacchetto indipendente, a partire al 3 settembre con la versione 10.0.0, disponibile nell’area download di MyVMware. Un pacchetto separato ed indipendente dal software di virtualizzazione dato che sono generici per VMware Fusion, Workstation e ESXi!
Reading Time: 3 minutesVMware Virtual SAN (VSAN) 6.1 è stata annuncita durante il recente VMworld US 2015 e sicuramente è stata enfatizzata rispetto ad altri prodotti (ad esempio vSphere) per le sue nuove funzionalità e per l’attenzione sempre maggiore che VMware ha verso questo prodotto. Ora si può finalmente provare ed è disponibile nella pagina di download di VMware vSphere. Sì nel download di vSphere: poiché VSAN è implementata a livello di hypervisor ed è già inclusa in vSphere non esiste un download vero e proprio (esiste solo la licenza venduta a parte): VSAN 6.1 è parte integrante […]
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. But this a partner program (like the Virtual Volumes) and unless partners have not developed this […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesThe new Virtual SAN 6.1 has also another new features related to a specific deployment scenario: a 2-Node Remote Office Branch Office (ROBO) configuration. This configuration was possible with the previous VMware product (VSA) but was not suitable with VSAN, making space for other solutions like StorMagic SvSAN or StarWind Virtual SAN.
