I’ve been using Runecast Analyzer in my lab since I introduced it to my readers a while ago Runecast Analyzer review. Not so long ago Runecast Analyzer 1.5 release was introduced to customers.

I would like to focus in this review on new enhancements and features introduced in version 1.5.

In Today post I will focus on installation of vCenter Server Appliance 6.5 with External Platform Services Controller. As I am working with more complex customer environments there was a need to make my lab a bit more advanced as it was in the past.

vSphere 6.5 is on the market for quite a bit of time. In most cases, customers don’t perform upgrade immediately after the release of new software. It was the same with my home lab. I wanted to take a holistic approach and perform an upgrade to the latest and greatest release of all products I have in my home lab. In this first post, I will show you upgrade process of all components I use.

It’s been a while since I reviewed Altaro Backup Software. See my previous post https://www.wojcieh.net/altaro-vm-backup-vmware-review/ from 2015.

Altaro published a new version of its backup software and I wanted to review newly released features. I’ve been using Altaro Backup in my lab for nearly two Years and it works flawlessly.

After the long year 2016 I am thrilled to inform you that fourth Year in a row I was awarded VMware vExpert Award. VMware shared it on its blog: https://blogs.vmware.com/vmtn/2017/02/vexpert-2017-award-announcement.html.

First of all, I would like to thank you all readers of my blog, whole VMware community, and VMware. That kind of awards motivates me and many others like me to share knowledge about VMware.

I would like to refresh your memory how you can become vExpert as well.

Hello Readers in 2017!

Veeam announced its world’s largest event focused on Availability. It will be held in New Orleans, Louisiana from 16.05.2017 - 18.05.2017.

VMworld 2016 Europe is behind us and several days ago VMware released videos from sessions. Unfortunately, those videos are meant to be seen on a dedicated website. Fortunately for us, VMware community came with the solution.

For every vSphere Administrator and Engineer experience with storage products is very important. Unfortunately for some of us who work in larger enterprises, there is clear role and duties separation. This leads to technology silos where vSphere gurus can’t “play” with storage. Fortunately for those people (and not only of course) community member Neil Anderson created eBook How to create NetApp Ontap 9 Lab.
