Pipedrive and Zendesk Integration

If your Customer Service System and your Sales CRM are separated it is important to integrate the systems. Without a proper integration either your Sales or Customer Service team might be missing important informations. This free Pipedrive and Zendesk integration will help you solve this issue.

Recently I had to use Zendesk as our customer success system and Pipedrive as our Sales CRM. I have worked with Salesforce for the past 6-8 years and love it. Moving to Zendesk and Pipedrive was quiet a bit of change for me. While these two systems are cheaper than Salesforce they do have a couple of drawbacks. When I started out with both systems I was looking for a Pipedrive and Zendesk integration and came across the official Pipedrive plugin for Zendesk.

Datrium DVX 101 – Adding Hosts

After covering the NetShelf setup in Datrium DVX 101 – NetShelf Setup a few weeks back, it is time to cover the host setup.

In order to add an ESXi host to a Datrium DVX, it has to meet the following requirements:

  • ESXi 5.5 U2 or later
  • Minimum of 2 cores for the Datrium Hyperdriver
  • Minimum of 7.5 GiB memory for the Datrium Hyperdriver
    • ~2.5 GiB memory for each additional terabyte of flash
  • At least one 800 GB SSD or 2x 400 GB SSDs

The actual process of adding a host to the Datrium DVX is easy and only a few mouse-clicks away.

  1. Open the Datrium GUI within the vSphere Web-Client
  2. Browse to Hosts and Clusters and select the host you would like to set up
  3. Go to Monitor -> Datrium DVX and hit Install
    Datrium Host Setup 1 Continue reading “Datrium DVX 101 – Adding Hosts”

Recap of VMworld 2016

We have survived VMworld 2016 and it was  a blast!!!

It was great to meet many old friends and make some new friends.

Overall, the show was great even tho I am  not a big fan of the location at the Mandalay Bay Event Center. Moscone Center became familiar over the past years and I feel it is easier to navigate through.

Since I have been mainly busy at the Datrium booth, I haven’t seen much else of VMworld. For the folks who didn’t get a chance to take a look at the our booth, below are some pictures of what you have missed out on.
