    Share on: twitter facebook linkedin copy

    Backup and restore (of consumer workloads) in a vCloud Director environment is a hot topic. When you deal with Pets (Vs. Cattle) it is important that you take care of your little lovely friends workloads. Part of the effort of taking care of them includes backing them up regularly and, more importantly, restoring them …

  • AWS: a Space Shuttle to Go Shopping?

    I apologize for the catchy title (I need to drive clicks, somehow). The title of this blog post should have been "considerations on some interesting AWS (Amazon Web Services) usage data I came across". Not very catchy. A few weeks ago I saw a study done by The Big Data Group re the above. I found this …

    I keep bumping into discussions where people try to compare vCloud (Director) and OpenStack. The last one that caught my attention was an email from a colleague that went like: "We are in a competitive situation with OpenStack. Customer is currently using Amazon EC2... They are looking at moving from Amazon to …

    There has been some turmoil lately in the industry when VMware announced that wanted to join the OpenStack community. In the last few days Martin Casado (Nicira co-founder and now Chief Network Architect at VMware) was quoted in a few interviews for the plans VMware has to integrate, evolve and position the Nicira …

    vCloud Director 5.1 has introduced a fair amount of new functionalities. One of those is a change in the resource allocation models. I have tried to capture those changes from vCloud Director 1.5 to 5.1 in a couple of tables. For those of you that are new to vCloud Director it may be a good idea to get a background and …

  • Cloud and the Three IT Geographies (Silicon Valley, US and Rest of the World)

    Share on: twitter facebook linkedin copy

    In the last 3 years I spent most of my time advocating that the cloud world is marching at a (very) different pace based on where you are and who you are. If you are a professor consultant working with the like of Google, Facebook and such your vision of the world may be a bit skewed compared to "the …

  • VMware Distributed Storage – This is Where the (Cloud) World Collapses

    calendar Sep 4, 2012 · 10 min read  ·
    Share on: twitter facebook linkedin copy

    At VMworld 2012 VMware showed something dubbed Distributed Storage. If you were in SF and you missed it, I strongly suggest you watch the recording of session INF-STO2192. The demo in particular is very cool. I am very excited about this for a number of reasons. This post isn't going to talk specifically about the …

  • The Evolution of x86 Server Architectures

    Share on: twitter facebook linkedin copy

    I spent a good 10 years of my IT career looking closely to hardware platforms (at IBM STG - Systems and Technology Group). After more than two years focusing purely on infrastructure software (at VMware) I thought I wanted to share where I think we are headed with the design of x86 servers. We all know x86 is eating …

    So far I have only missed a single VMworld in the last 8 years. Unfortunately this time I won't be there for VMworld 2012 in San Francisco. My session was turned down and I was told that I am supposed to know everything already so why going? Thinking about it, it may very well not be so unfortunate that my session was …

  • Azure Virtual Machines: what sort of cloud beast is it? (UPDATED)

    calendar Jun 25, 2012 · 7 min read  ·
    Share on: twitter facebook linkedin copy

    A few weeks ago, at TechEd, Microsoft announced Azure Virtual Machines. In other words their response to a growing sentiment that PaaS is too early for many and IaaS is the natural first step into the cloud (let's put SaaS aside for a second). Yes, I am over-simplifying just to avoid a ten pages blog post this time but …
