After playing around with HPE VM Essentials (and a little bit of Morpheus), the next vendor I will be taking a closer look at, is Nutanix. They have been a long and strong partner for PQR and in the past (before I moved to VMware) I even held some Nutanix certifications. But that is a long time ago, so I am treating this as a completely new product. I will be using an excellent blog that already partially describes the…
After completing my previous blog https://my-sddc.net/new-tech-vm-essentials-a-more-serious-deployment/ there have been some developments. One of which is the fact that HPE came out with a new verion, another is that I learned there is an integrated installation available.

So I am making a “design” for a small customer, that will have three VME hosts, use iSCSI, NFS ánd local storage for their VM’s and use VLAN’s to differentiate between different traffic flows. I am…

Since I left Broadcom at the beginning of the year, the scope of product technology has changed. I am still very much an advocate and a fan of VMware products, because the technology in private cloud is (in my opinion) still unmatched, but there are alternatives out there. And working…
