Reading Time: 5 minutesThe VMware ESXi partitions layout on the system disk has remained almost the same for several years. VMware ESXi 6.x partitions layout was the same from previous 5.x versions and there ware only some exceptions with bigger disks (with two different diagnostic partitions. Starting with ESXi 7.0 the partions layout is now totally changed.
Reading Time: 4 minutesOne important concept of virtual networking is that the virtual network adapter (vNIC) speed it’s just a “soft” limit used to provide a common model comparable with the physical world. The real limit depends by several aspects, included the hpyervisor, the CPU speed, the available RAM and (for external comunication) also by the physical NIC speed. For this reason, the Intel e1000 and e1000e vNIC can reach a real bandwidth bigger than the canonical 1 Gpbs link speed. But what about the vmxnet3 vNIC that can advertise also the 10 Gpbs link speed. What is […]
Reading Time: 3 minutesSome days ago, VMware has updated its per-socket pricing model effective from April 2, 2020. Instead of require only one license per socket (so per physical CPU), in the new model, one license will cover up to 32 cores… with more cores you need more licenses (one each 32 cores).
Reading Time: 4 minutesTrusted platform module (TPM) is a hardware, designed to securely store information such as crendential or measurements. TPM 2.0 is supported on all 13 th generation and 14 th generation Dell EMC PowerEdge servers including the latest AMD servers. Note that is not enabled by default. TPM 2.0 is enabled and supported with VMware vSphere 6.7 releases. ESXi 6.7 introduced the “Host Attestation” feature using which the validation of boot process can be reported to vCenter dashboard.
Reading Time: 2 minutesIt’s not a secret that there is a VMware ESXi for ARM porting, not yet public available (maybe with next major release), that can also run on Raspberry Pi platform! Announced during the VMworld US 2018, this version is not a general purpose hypervisor, also because the VMs need to run OSes and application ported to the ARM platform.

Basically there are two main Intel® Optane™ DC products: Intel® Optane™ DC persistent memory Intel® Optane™ DC SSDs
Reading Time: 4 minutesBuild a VMware lab is usually tricky because you have to find the proper balance between the physical and the virtual infrastructure. Most people does not have huge or powerful physical servers, or does not have the proper environment (considering the power consumption, the generated heat, the noise, or also the needed space), and they opt for small and cheap systems.
