Reading Time: 3 minutesDell EMC has probably a storage portfolio too rich and with some overlaps, due to the EMC acquisition, and I was quite sure that the Dell PowerVault MD storage series was destined for early obsolescence to be replaced by the Compellent series.
But obviously, I was wrong. Dell EMC announced a new PowerVault line: Dell EMC PowerVault ME4.
As the previous PowerVault MD series, also the new PowerVault ME4 (very strange name) is targeted for the specific SMB market.
Reading Time: 3 minutesJust a few weeks ago, VMware has released NSX Data Center for vSphere v6.4.2 and now it’s the turn of a new version: NSX Data Center for vSphere v6.4.3.
NSX Data Center for vSphere 6.4.3 addresses a number of specific customer bugs. See Resolved Issues for more information.
The release notes describe other aspects, but there aren’t new features or specific improvement in this new release.
Reading Time: 2 minutesVMware Horizon version 7.4 was released at the begin of this year, and now VMware has just released the new version of VMware Horizon: version 7.6 has several improvements as documented in the release notes. So a really active year for EUC and VDI.
VMware has also released VMware User Environment Manager 9.5 and VMware AppVolumes 2.14.2.
Reading Time: 3 minutesThree years ago, VMware has decided to make VMware Tools an independent package, with a separate lifecycle and available in the MyVMware download page as a separated package. Separated and independent from VMware Fusion, Workstation and ESXi virtualization solutions!
Seems good, but on vSphere environment, this can make some confusion considering that you have the VMware Tools bundled with ESXi and the standalone VMware Tools usually with a bigger version and independent also by the version of vSphere!
Reading Time: 2 minutesThere are a lot of different possible reasons why a VM does not power on a VMware vSphere infrastructure, but usually, the error message can really help to found the reason or the root cause.
Maybe not available resources, maybe some files that are missing, maybe some incompatibility… But normally you can put the error message and found the proper VMware KB that can help you.
Reading Time: 1 minuteInteresting European IT events:
Reading Time: 4 minutesFour years ago I’ve written a post about the Virtualization with ARM based servers when some vendors announce the possibility to have new server’s series based on the ARM processor.
Now seems that there are more than rumors with the announce, during the latest VMworld US 2018, of VMware vSphere for ARM. To be honest, not exactly vSphere, but just ESXi… anyway an interesting announce.
But to be clear, limited to embedded and edge IoT systems, so not like a general purpose solution for ARM servers.
Reading Time: 5 minutesThe US edition of VMworld 2018 is finally over and maybe you want to know what’s new (or if there are something news compared to previous year). Last news from the event is where will be next year: back again to San Francisco.
Good news for somebody (me included, considering that I found Vegas too boring if you already have visited it 2-3 times), bad news for others… Anyway a change.
And what’s happened during VMworld US 2018?
Reading Time: 3 minutesAs announced one month ago, after the Mastering VMware vSphere 6.5 book I was working on a new book project, still based on vSphere 6.5, but this time focused on the VCP6.5-DCV exam.
Still, with Packt, the title of the new book is: Data Center Virtualization Certification: VCP6.5-DCV Exam Guide
