From the editors virtual desk

Hi everyone, welcome to the second newsletter of 2014. News is starting to roll in as the year gets underway and I am sure that we have an exciting year ahead. I have been spending some time with VMware Orchestrator a solution that every VMware vSphere customer has access to. This is a remarkable product and one that I think is worthy of a look. I will be bringing you more information on this and other solutions I am working on in the coming weeks.

    IBM Cognos licensing in a VMware environment (http://www.vmguru.nl/wordpress/?p=12087)IBM makes it possible with their licensing to run IBM Cognos on a virtualisation hypervisor like VMware ESXi and make full use of vMotion, HA and DRS.

    How to link VMware View desktop to its replica (http://www.vmguru.nl/wordpress/?p=12071)A while back I was looking at a VMware View environment that had Storage DRS enabled and set to automatic. If I recall correctly, one of the first things the installation document from VMware mentions is not to use Storage DRS in a View enviroment. If you need to rebalance the desktops and replica data on your datastores you can do so with the “Rebalance” option within the View administrator console. In this enviroment storage DRS had been running like that for some time resulting in desktops and…
