Reading Time: 5 minutesDuring the last Dell Technologies World 2019 event one of the interesting topics was the idea of (real) composable infrastructure. DellEMC already have the Dell EMC PowerEdge MX platform, but at this stage is more like a converged infrastructure 2.0, insteat that a true composable infrastructure. In fact DellEMC define the MX7000 a kinetic infrastructure, but during the event there was an interesting prototype to demostrate that can become a composable infrastructure.
Reading Time: 4 minutesManaging the lifecycle of a complete software stack it’s something potentially complex because to the interdependence between the different layers, the order of the update or upgrade and the multiple software piecies (but also potentially some firmware/driver updates). For VMware vSphere there is VUM that can simplify ESXi lifecycle, but for example cannot manage the vCenter/PSC upgrade/update process.

Reading Time: 5 minutesDurante l’evento VMware NOW – Live Launch Event, Pat Gelsinger (VMware CEO) e altri executive di VMware hanno annunciato diverse novità oltre ai nuovi prodotti. Secondo la vision VMware (ribadita anche durante l’ultimo Partner Exchange) i tre principali pilastri sono: Software Defined Datacenter, Hybrid Cloud e End User Computing. La maggior parte delle novità ruotano tutte attorno al primo pilastro, anche perché vari annunci precedenti hanno già riguardato la strategia legata all’Hybrid Cloud. Per quanto riguarda la parte EUC probabilmente sarà coperta maggiormente durante l’edizione europea del VMworld 2013.
