VMworld 2016 Europe – Sessions

After the past 3 years of attending VMworld in Barcelona and packing my schedule full of sessions causing me to run between sessions and grab lunch on the go, I swore to myself that this year I would be more selective with my sessions so that I'm not rushing around like a headless chicken..... ....

VMware NSX 6.2.4 released

So after the huge cock-up with 6.2.3, VMware have turned around a new version of NSX in a matter of weeks to fix all the bugs! http://blogs.vmware.com/kb/2016/08/vmware-nsx-vsphere-6-2-4-now-available.html Of major concern was the whole HA issue that meant DLR nodes got stuck in a 'split-brain' mode after 24 days of operations - and every 24 days … Continue reading VMware NSX 6.2.4 released

NSX 6.2.3 Released – support for vShield Endpoint Management

As most people are aware, VMware pulled their support for vCloud Network & Security (and with that vShield Manager) earlier this year and a lot of my customers have been wondering what's going to happen to their vShield Endpoint deployments (for agentless AV). It was strange that VMware announced the EoA for vCNS without really … Continue reading NSX 6.2.3 Released – support for vShield Endpoint Management

Pick up the pace with VMware NSX network virtualization

Finally got round to finishing off my article on NSX for SearchVMware.com.... I've been sitting on this article since last year, but given that my company, MTI Technology, are one of the focus NSX partners in UK this year (one of five partners), it's probably appropriate if I got the article published.... =) http://searchvmware.techtarget.com/tip/Pick-up-the-pace-with-VMware-NSX-network-virtualization Enjoy...
