VMware Horizon version 7.7 was released on December 2018, with a lot of new features, and now VMware has just released the new version of VMware Horizon: version 7.8 has several improvements as documented in the release notes.

Definitely VDI is not dead, and maybe 2019 it’s not the year of VDI… just because each year is an important year for VDI and EUC.

Note that not only Horizon 7 version 7.8 has been released, but also VMware Horizon Client 5.0, VMware ThinApp 5.2.5, VMware User Environment Manager 9.7.0, VMware App Volumes 2.16 and Client Agent Release Train (CART) 5.0. Those produc remain at the same previous version: VMware Mirage 5.9.1, VMware App Volumes 3.0.

The last week I’ve realized a new article for the StarWind blog focused on the different types of storage controllers in VMware vSphere (see Storage Controllers in VMware vSphere).

To access block-based devices (like virtual disks, CD/DVD-ROM), but also generic SCSI devices, a virtual machine uses storage controllers, which at least one is added by default when you create the virtual machine and the type of it depends by the type of guest OS that you have chosen. You can make several change changes while you are in the creation wizard.

RVTools supports all version of vSphere starting from version 3.5 (when still was called Virtual Infrastructure) through the latest vSphere 6.7… with or without vCenter Server!

Interesting move by F5 Networks and NGINX that have announced a definitive agreement under which F5 will acquire all issued and outstanding shares of privately held NGINX for a total enterprise value of approximately $670 million.

Seems strange, becase a company like F5 need a company like NGINX?

Quest’anno l’annuncio dei vExpert 2019 ha richiesto molto ma molto più tempo rispetto a quanto successo con i VMware vExpert 2018, anche a causa del nuovo processo di selezione e votazione, per la prima volta esteso ai vExpert Pro.

Anche per quest’anno sono stato confermato, per un nuovo anno, come vExpert… 10 anni di fila!

Notare che il titolo “vExpert” non è una certificazione tecnica e deve essere visto con questa valenza, dato che è più un premio alle attività “social” o a potere di “influenzare” (io preferisco dire informare). Vi sono molte persone tecniche (e persino VCDX, fino a quando non hanno messo la regola dell’implicità che VCDX sono anche vExpert) non inclusi in questo elenco. Essere un vExpert non rende necessariamente esperti di VMware o della virtualizzazione in generale.
