Reading Time: 2 minutes

Dopo ben 5 technical preview e dopo averlo finalmente annunciato qualche settimana fa, Windows Server 2016 è ufficialmente in General Availability (GA). Per maggiori informazioni vedere la Ultimate Guide to Windows Server 2016 lo l’elenco delle novità di questo SO.

Va anche ricordato il cambio nella licenza: non solo sono state reintrodotte funzionalità solo nella versione Datacenter, ma ora si licenziano anche i core (non più semplicemente i socket). Di conseguenza hardware monoprocessore e con tanti core possono diventare interessanti in alcuni progetti (fintanto che altri software non adeguino anche loro il modello di licensing passando da socket a core).

Virtualization is not cool anymore?

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Is (system) virtualization becoming legacy or old style? Sounds a strange question, but there are three main trends that are changing the role and the weight of virtualization in the IT:

  • Competition and more choices and options: VMware vSphere is still the leader (in most cases), but other hypervisors like Hyper-V and KVM are growing fast and become mostly features comparable.
  • Cloud management and cloud services: in most cases virtualization is hidden by the managemed and also for IaaS cloud virtualization is not necessary mandatory (see also virtualization is not cloud).
  • Container and microservices: are moving new application to a new level of abstraction (and automation); in some cases virtualization is used to provide containers, but still is not mandatory.

There is just a week before the new edition of VMworld EU and also if lots has been announced during the US edition, we can expect some interesting news also at this event.

For me will be a good way to meet again lots of friends again, visit some booths to learn more from sponsors, pass some time in the community area and try to see some sessions.

This year, I don’t want to write a complete pre-conference guide, old posts like VMworld 2015 EU or also VMworld 2014 EU tips tips are still valid.

Recuperare i file con Disk Drill

Reading Time: 4 minutes

Disk Drill è un’utility di file undelete specifica per Windows o MacOSX che permette il recupero di file cancellati (anche mesi prima) e non più presenti nel cestino in poco tempo. Ovviamente la possibilità di recupero completo di un file dipende anche dal come i blocchi del file stesso siano stati reciclati per altri file (purtroppo manca un indice sul grado di recuperabilità dei file, cosa che altri programmi simili hanno, rimane comunque interessante come ,spesso, si possano trovare e ancora recuperare file cancellati da più di un anno!).

La versione gratuita è in grado di recuperare fino a 500MB, altrimenti sono disponibili due versioni a pagamento (PRO o Enterprise).

October is a big month for vBrownBag in Barcelona with the OpenStack Summit and also the VMworld EMEA with a lot of TechTalks.

The ProfessionalVMware #vBrownBag is a series of online webinars held using GotoMeeting and covering various Virtualization & VMware Certification topics.

TechTalks are ten-minute presentations by community members at an industry conference. They originated with sessions not being accepted for the main conference catalog. TechTalks are limited to ten minutes; they deliver the very core of an idea. Keeping presentations short also means we can do a lot of sessions in a day.

For more information and the agenda of both TechTalks see those links:
