Could Microsoft become a storage vendor?

17 February 2014
6 comments

Reading Time: 5 minutesMicrosoft is an historical name in the IT world, both in the consumer and the professional area. Actually it’s already a player in the storage world: just consider the Windows Storage Server edition included in some storage appliances (for example the Dell PowerVault NX family). But Windows Storage Server is little more than an “embedded” version of Windows Server and basically is just a dedicated Windows Server (with a better license cost than the full edition).

VMware vSphere Web Client limits

13 February 2014

Reading Time: 2 minutesIn a previous post I’ve described the limits of the (legacy) vSphere Client, especially in the 5.5 version. But also the (new) vSphere Web Client has some limits, also in the 5.5 version. First to all is VMware vSphere Web Client really a multi-platform solution? It could be, but the Flash framework (and the VM console plugin) imply some possible portability issues. Starting with 5.5 version (see 5.5a or 5.5b release notes) Linux is no more supported: Because Linux platforms are no longer supported by Adobe Flash, vSphere Web Client is not supported on the […]

VMware vSphere Client 5.5 limits

12 February 2014
Comments off

Reading Time: 3 minutesAs already mentioned, there could be several reasons for not upgrading to vSphere 5.5, and some are also related to the client for Windows (the vSphere Client). OF course, it will be supplanted by the new vSphere Web Client, but still this client is required for some activities (eg update the host with VUM). In addition, the Web Client works only with vCenter Server, and then in standalone configurations or configurations with the free hypervisor (which can not be managed by vCenter Server), the “old” client becomes mandatory (unless use command line). Trivially also for […]

Reading Time: 2 minutesGlobalKnowledge as realize a new list of top paying certification (see 15 Top Paying Certifications for 2014). Each year they present this kind of report (see also the 2013 and 2012 note). As usual, some high level certifications are not represented due to their exclusive nature. These include CCIE: Cisco Certified Internetworking Expert and VCDX: VMware Certified Design Expert, and mainly all the Top IT Certifications. Also the truth is that several factors, including geography, industry, experience, and yes, certifications, combine to play a major role in determining an individual’s salary.
