Reading Time: < 1 minuteYou have “only” 12 months to plan you upgrade (or better your migration) to Windows 7 or Windows 8.
On April 8th 2014 Windows XP goes end of life (after a very long period)! Note that this will impact both Windows XP SP3 and also Office 2003.
How migrate has not a single possible response: you can use VDI, but also other solutions like, for example, VMware Mirage, Liquidware solutions, Dell Quest Migration services, …
Reading Time: 4 minutesSoftware Defined Networking (SDN) is revolutionizing the traditional networking approaches that have become too complex, closed, proprietary and/or difficult to program. The technology has the potential to enable network innovation by allowing network owners and operators more control of their infrastructure, thus allowing customization, optimization, and the reduction in overall capital and operational expenses.
SDN is still early in its lifecycle, and has not yet crossed the chasm. The technology today is maturing fast and growing its ecosystem, but there is still much to be discussed, explored, innovated and built. Analyst firm IDC predicts the worldwide SDN market for the enterprise and cloud service provider segments is forecasted to grow from $360 million in 2013 to $3.7 billion by 2016. We have seen this increase since its inception, with the growth of vendors and startups developing innovative SDN technologies and solutions, increases in deployments and uses cases of SDN, and more participation from the networking community.
Open Networking Summit (ONS) 2013 brings together the entire SDN ecosystem comprising of thought leaders, business leaders, luminaries, creators, researchers, innovators and engineers to offer the very highest caliber presentations, tutorials, exhibitions, latest research and enable the SDN community to interact and share ideas.

Downloading an entire backup from the cloud to recover just a few critical files can consume an unacceptable amount of time. However, with NAKIVO Backup & Replication v3.0, files can be instantly accessed and restored from any VM backup, regardless whether it’s a few feet or few thousand miles away, enabling rapid operational recovery from anywhere, including backups stored in remote public clouds.
Reading Time: 2 minutesAt VMware’s Partner Exchange event at Las Vegas, Dell and VMware announced a strategic partnership to offer an end-to-end VDI solution for the mid-market.
More interesting is that the announce was also during a PEX session (EUC1322: Enabling Cloud Desktops DaaS – Partner Opportunities and Technology) giving several interesting technical detail both for the DaaS related aspects (and also the limitation with the Windows license), but also in the Dell implementation.
Reading Time: 3 minutesDuring the recent VMware Partner Exchange 2013 I’ve got the opportunity to meet and discuss with Scott Bennett, Sales Director Northern-and Southern Europe at Liquidware Labs.
I’ve already posted about the latest products release and how their solutions could be interesting for a VDI enviroment. However, it was interesting to talk directly with their vision, proposition, position, but also of their point of view regarding the evolution of virtualization ecosystem in relation to the evolution of VMware and its products (which in some cases go to limit ecosystem market).

As written in a previous post there are several reasons to attend (at least one time) to a VMware Partner Exchange because is slightly different from a VMworld. Now that I’ve attend at the 2013 edition and also at both VMworld 2012, I can give some impressions and comments at the event.
Reading Time: 4 minutesI’ve already write a post about Nimbus Data (during my last VMworld US I met the team and had a technical product overview) and describe their storage solution.
The core of the solution is the HALO operating system, and now the new release HALO 2013 provides new features at management layer:
