Ready For Any was the slogan of #VMworld 2015 at Moscone Center in San Francisco, CA.
This was my first VMworld and I wasn’t sure what to expect besides long days and lots of events for #vExperts.
When reflecting on my first VMworld, the following comes to my mind:
Wow… This was even bigger than I envisioned it…
On my first day at #VMworld 2015, I spent most of the time talking to attendees at the #DatriumStorage booth. Flash got accepted as part of modern datacenters and many attendees are searching for the right solution.
The Datrium DVX is the first solution which reduces the price of flash to a level where it is affordable to everyone with a persistent storage appliance. This solution allows you to replace your expensive and rigid storage array with a solution which is affordable and you don’t have to worry about expensive controller upgrades in the future.
Most of us are using VMware DRS and I think it is actually one of the coolest features. Why manually vMotion VMs between hosts, when you can use the Distributed Resource Scheduler and just let it migrate VMs automatically.
Guest User Mappings is a new feature in vSphere 6.
Enabling SSO accounts to login to guest OS provides users with additional capabilities to perform administrative tasks on guest virtual machines, such as, installing or upgrading the VMware Tools or configuring apps.
In order to configure the mapping, you will need to know the Guest administrative account. This new feature allows your vSphere Administrators to access the Virtual Machines and do certain tasks.
Every couple of months, I want to publish a blog post from my life besides my job and today’s datacenter virtualization. Today, I want to share some pictures of my latest trip.
About 2 weeks ago, we finally made our first road trip with the Bus (1972 VW Bay Windows Bus).
Our destination was Yosemite National Park in California. Continue reading “First Roadtrip with the 72 VW Bus”
