Few months ago Runecast reach the v2.0 milestone of their Runecast Analyzer, a solution that provides software-defined expertise to mitigate service outages, increase security and compliance and reduce time in troubleshooting.
Now they are releasing the latest version v2.1 with new improvements.

Reading Time: 3 minutesNow that VMware vSphere 6.7 Update 1 was released in GA the “missing piece” was still the Platinum bundle. But now also VMware vSphere Platinum is finally in General Availability (GA).
Announced during the VMworld US 2018, VMware vSphere Platinum is an new edition and a new bundle.
The new vSphere Platinum is basically VMware vSphere 6.7 Update 1 Enterprise Plus with the addition of VMware AppDefense. Funny but there is no info about the announce credits on VMware Cloud on AWS (Credits worth $10,000 for VMware Cloud on AWS) that now are no more mentioned.
Reading Time: 10 minutesNow that both Microsoft and VMware have officially announced the new released of their virtualization products it’s possible to make some kind of comparison between Hyper-V available on Windows Server 2019 and vSphere 6.7 (like I’ve done some years ago with the Microsoft Hyper-V 2016 vs. VMware vSphere 6.5 article).
Comparing two different product is not so easy, also if they are released closed one each other (at least in the same year). You need to found some homogenous aspects to make the comparison, at least at the technical level (but as written, it’s not so much important now where the technology gap is really reduced). For numbers could be really easy, but numbers are not enough: for example memory management it’s still really different (VMware implement different technologies, Hyper-V only Dynamic Memory, only on some OSes)… so it’s not the same what you can do with the same amount of memory.
Reading Time: 4 minutesVMware certification paths are quite clear with well defined technology paths (DCV, EUC, NV, Cloud) and different levels (VCP, VCAP, VCDX).
All certifications require at least one proctored exam (some may require two different exams). The names of all exams and certifications will change using a “year” notation, but the concept remain the same.
But there are also other type of exam, non proctored and just on-line version. One example are the Foundation exams.

This news is very huge: IBM is acquiring Red Hat for $34 billion ($190 per share in cash). The acquisition is expected to close in the latter half of 2019.
Red Hat will remain a distinct unit in IBM, like was when VMware was acquired by EMC, and this is the first positive aspect to keep a proper independence of the company and the products. And the Red Hat unwavering commitment to Open Source innovation can remain unchanged.

Quick Boot is a vSphere feature that speeds up the upgrade process of an ESXi server. A regular reboot involves a full power cycle that requires firmware and device initialization. Quick Boot optimizes the reboot path to avoid this, saving considerable time from the upgrade process.
Quick Boot of an ESXi host is a setting that allows VMWare Update Manager (VUM) to optimize the remediation time of hosts that undergo patch and upgrade operations. If the Quick Boot feature is enabled, Update Manager skips the hardware reboot (the BIOS or UEFI firmware reboot).
As a result, the time spent by ESXi host in Maintenance Mode shortens and the risk of failures during remediation is minimized.

Reading Time: 6 minutesFound a proper way to protect your public cloud services and your data in a public cloud is becoming more and more important, to achieve a desired retention limit, but also to have more control on the data and the restorability of them.
One interesting case is the messaging and collaboration services, like Office365 and G Suite.
