This latest release includes a lot of improvements and many new features and capabilities. In an effort to try and get my head around all this exciting new “stuff” I decided to go through the what’s new paper and compile a brief summary (well, relatively brief anyway). Here’s the list I came up with. I’m sure I missed some things, but this list should…

Well, in that spirit, here’s some more! At VMware we take security very seriously. We are working very hard to deliver products that are more secure out of the box. The direction we have taken is to ship hardened systems where you have to make a conscious decision to loosen controls. An outcome of this effort is some great changes to virtual appliances! Virtual Appliance Security As…

- Rethink IT: Reports of vCloud Director’s death exaggerated (http://blogs.vmware.com/rethinkit/?p=460)Borrowing from Mark Twain’s retort to newspaper stories of his death , reports of the death of vCloud Director are exaggerated. vCloud Director (vCD) is alive and well and now 100% focused on the needs of the service provider market, where it powers more than 250 public clouds in the vCloud Powered and vCloud Datacenter programs in addition to VMware’s own vCloud Hybrid Service .

- VMware End User Computing: Have You Ever Cheated on a School Test? (http://blogs.vmware.com/euc/?p=3653)by Geoffrey Murase, Solutions Marketing, VMware The incentive to cheat is highly correlated with what is at stake. For example, in preschool, it’s pretty rare to see a child copy another classmate’s finger painting because not much is at stake. However, in high school, getting good grades means getting into a good college. That’s where I was first exposed to the temptation of cheating on a test. I recall one class where the teacher gave the same multiple choice test every year. Students…
- VMware Consulting Blog: The Snowden Leak: A Windfall for Hybrid Cloud? (http://blogs.vmware.com/consulting/?p=824)By Richard Rees Interest in hybrid cloud has risen since Edward Snowden’s leak in May revealing vast surveillance operations by the US government, according to VMware CEO Pat Gelsinger and COO Carl Eschenbach during a VMworld Q&A last week. That’s not surprising, since hybrid clouds allow businesses to keep their data in their own house and out of the prying eyes of government. That’s undoubtedly attractive for foreign companies doing business with or in the United States, since the US…
- VMware Virtualization Management Blog: Cloud Automation ROI – Moving IT from Enforcer to Provider (http://blogs.vmware.com/management/?p=1552)Historically IT has been both the conscience of the company and the enforcer of capacity and service level allocation of compute resources. When deploying a private cloud, IT has the option to continue its enforcer role or move to a provider role and let free market economics govern resource consumption. The ideal approach is to establish prices for each level of compute services which reflect the costs to provide those services. With chargeback and departmental budgets in place, IT can move to a…
