Configuring a Distributed Switch can be a pain, especially if you do it for the first time after using a virtual switch. A virtual switch is mostly used in smaller environment with only a few ESXi hosts. Once you expand into 10+ ESXi hosts, you want to use a Distributed Switch to cut down the time it takes to configure an ESXi host and enhance the manageability of the ESXi networking component.

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.
