Reading Time: < 1 minuteRecently, has been released the VCP5 blueprint 1.1 (although in the download is number 1.15?) that cover the official exam (note that the v1.4 was related to the beta exam). The new blueprint does not include changes on the objectives, just more tools, link to to the documents and some changes in the exam description (the official exam has 85 questions in 90 minutes). Note that there are also new version of the VCA4-DT (v1.3) and VCP4-DT (v1.2) blueprints.
Reading Time: < 1 minuteThis is a list of some practice tests for the VCP5 exam: VCP5 Official Mock Exam – This time the mock exam seems good enough (some questions are still too easy, but some are similar to the VCP5 beta exam). http://www.simonlong.co.uk/blog/vcp5-practice-exams/ – The exam is just in a beta phase, a little simple yet, but with some good question. http://www.kalenarndt.com/vcp-510-quiz/ – Actually with few questions, but just started. vSphere 5 Configuration Maximums Practice Tests Series – Some tests about the configuration maximums. http://twitter.com/#!/VCP5_QOTD – One question each day (but seems blocked on Aug, 9).
Reading Time: 9 minutesNote This product has been discountined with the release 5.1 and replaced by the new VDP. Disclaimer I do not work for VMware and I’m not writing that VDR is the best backup product! First versions were affected by some bugs and issues… But now (from 1.2 release) could be one possible backup solution (of course with its limits).

Reading Time: < 1 minuteAfter the recent announce of new Equallogic storage I’ve notice some tweets that need more clarifications. To take advantage of new vStorage API for vSphere you do not need the new storage, but only the firmware that support the required feature: VAAI can be used also in vSphere 4.1 (only in the Enterprise and Enterprise+ editions) both with firmware 5.0.x or 5.1.x. With the new 5.1 firmware a new version of VAAI is implemented with a new feature for thin provisioning (but in this case it’s also required vSphere 5). VASA can be used only […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesDell announce the new Equallogic array with the introduction of 2.5-inch drive support, providing greater density that enables users to store more in less space. New storage arrays include: EqualLogic PS4100 Series — ideal for small-to-medium businesses or remote office locations with growing storage needs. The SANs, supporting up to 36TB in a single array and 72TB in a single group, can scale as storage demands increase by seamlessly adding additional PS4100 or PS6100 arrays into an EqualLogic group. EqualLogic PS6100 Series — designed to provide mid-sized customers with a scalable storage environment, up to […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteOfficial announce: Veeam unveils Veeam Backup & Replication v6, extending leadership in virtualization data protection. Veeam Software today unveiled major enhancements in Veeam Backup & Replication™ v6. Probably the most evident new feature is theMulti-hypervisor support (actually limited only to VMware and Windows Server Hyper-V). Note that the vSphere 5 compatibility is not specified, but the related Storage API are not changed (or not too much) and also the v 5.0.2 works “fine” on vSphere General availability of v6 is expected in Q4 2011.
