Installing vShield Endpoint (vCNS Mgr 5.5.4-3)

Very quick blog entry as I'm busy tying up loose ends before jetting off on my summer hols.... It's pretty easy to install vShield Endpoint as it's a wizard-based OVA deployment. I'm not going to step through the process as it's very simple (plus the install guide explains it very well). Once that's done log … Continue reading Installing vShield Endpoint (vCNS Mgr 5.5.4-3)

I'm glad to see that VMware … Continue reading Changes to VMware NSX Licensing

I've been asked to present a short deck on MTI's Secure … Continue reading The Journey to the Secure Software-Defined Data Center
