VMware

Virtual disks are not like usb drives you know... let's get them removed & added properly!

Who would have thought that ghosts of the past might not only haunt you in your dreams but also in your vSphere environment...

Have you ever stopped for a second while reading through VMware documentation to ask yourself - what exactly is the SDDC it keeps repeating every other sentence? Well, here's your anwer.

When I was still working as a backup administrator, one of my biggest day-to-day concern was finding enough space to save all the "archive" level data (a.k.a. infinite retention junk). This kind of data can over time consume absolutely terrifying amount of storage space.

During my time I have come across many people that were using VMware some options available in VMware vSphere but not really knowing how they work and why.

Security is top of mind for many of you. VMware introduced advanced security for the modern data centers with the releases of vSAN 6.5, 6.6 and now 6.7, and we are all excited to now be extending the security of vSAN with the industry’s first native HCI security solution.

So back to basics then, nobody likes it as everyone wants to talk about the newest and greatest development in the VMware sphere, but do you really know what is behind all of that?

VMware has released a new version of NSX Data Center - 6.4.2; in this post we are going to quickly run through what are the upgrades and changes introduced with this release.

Portable firewall rules, kernel-level network monitoring and API-friendly? That must be VMware NSX Distributed Firewall.

Ever could not attach a VM disk to another VM? It may have been just a descriptor file corruption.
