From the editors virtual desk

Hi everyone, I hope you are all well and enjoying all the excellent VMware news of the week. I have spent much of this week working with my customers on their upgrades and have also spent some time on vCenter Operations Manager and working on custom dashboards for specific applications. I am very interested in operations management as many of you will know as I have had a long history with operational management solutions.

 

I am starting to look at vCAC and ITBM Standard a bit more. It is definitely a new area for me. I am very interested in bringing cost and saving visibility to the management of an organisation and I think that ITBM is perfectly positioned to do this. In addition to this vCAC provides the brokering services to what will become the next generation of services for the data centre from their own internal private cloud through to a multitude of external public cloud offerings of various forms, one of which may be the vCHS.

 

I will keep you updated with my progress in this exciting area.

 

Virtually Yours

    VMware Accelerate: Big Data: Big Opportunity or Big Challenge? (http://blogs.vmware.com/accelerate/?p=1946)By Barton Kaplan We are undoubtedly living in the era of big data. For any doubters, McKinsey estimates that the amount of new data that enterprises around the world stored on disk drives in 2010 equaled 7 exabytes, growing at a compound annual rate of 40 percent. [1] The opportunities for enterprises to leverage this data abound, at least in theory. In the retail sector alone, McKinsey estimates that big data could raise operating margins by a whopping 60 percent. [2] And in US healthcare, the potential…

    VMware Cloud Ops Blog: Forensic IT: Discover Issues Before Your End Users Do (http://blogs.vmware.com/cloudops/?p=852)by Paul Chapman, VMware Vice President Global Infrastructure and Cloud Operations If you’ve ever watched five-year-olds playing a soccer game, there is very little strategy: all the kids swarm the field and chase the ball trying to score a goal. Most IT departments take a similar sort of “swarming” approach to service incidents and problems when they occur. For most of my career, IT has been a reactive business: we waited until there was a problem and then scrambled very well to solve it. We were…

    VMware Consulting Blog: Create a vCOps One-Click Cluster Capacity Dashboard Part 2 (http://blogs.vmware.com/consulting/?p=1371)By Sunny Dua, Senior Technology Consultant at VMware As I promised in my last post,  Create a One-Click Cluster Capacity Dashboard Using vCOps , I am going to share the recipe for preparing dashboards similar to the “One-Click Cluster Capacity Dashboard,” which received a lot of appreciation from the Twitterati.

    Office of the CTO Blogs: What hybrid Cloud really means – thoughts from Interop Las Vegas (http://cto.vmware.com/?p=2659)I used to be an avid blogger, and it’s time for me to start writing again, and often. I’ve recently attended Interop Las Vegas, where on April 2nd I spoke about “What Hybrid cloud really means”. After being on stage almost 600 times in six years for another, successful cloud provider, as a Technology and Cloud Evangelist, this was my first true speaking opportunity at VMware and I’ve been waiting for this for weeks. When you close a great adventure and start a new one, your first attempt at…

    VMware vCloud Blog: vCloud Hybrid Service Customers Share Success Stories (http://blogs.vmware.com/vcloud/?p=3341)Many VMware customers are leveraging vCloud Hybrid Service to take their business to the next level. Here are a few of the benefits VMware customers are achieving with vCloud Hybrid Service : Nexon America, a leading free-to-play video game publisher, leveraged vCloud Hybrid Service to expand the capabilities they had already implemented in their private cloud. This expansion was made even easier thanks to the internal team’s existing familiarity with VMware-based environments. Columbia Sportswear…

    by Rich Bourdeau In prior blog posts we discussed the challenges of building your own “as a service” cloud framework, getting stuck with a prescriptive inflexible solution , and the opposite end of the spectrum, a solution that is so flexible that you basically have to assemble it yourself .   After six plus years in the cloud automation business I can safely assert that unless you have very simple needs, you will not likely find a cloud automation solution that matches 100% of your needs.  The reason…

    VMware vSphere Blog: What happened to that Hardening Guide setting? (https://blogs.vmware.com/vsphere/?p=12286)Hi! As usual, most of my blog posts come from customer or field questions. Here’s a new one crossed my path recently. A customer, running vSphere 5.1, was finding some anomalies within their VM’s. Their belief was that some of the vSphere Hardening Guide settings were causing it. When this was assigned to me, I noticed that they were referencing the vSphere 4.1 hardening guide! The customer was applying guidelines from the 4.1 guide against a 5.1 system. They believed that the guideline was still…

    VMware End User Computing: Taking the Migraines Out of Migration (http://blogs.vmware.com/euc/?p=5428)With Microsoft support for Windows XP ending on April 8, many legacy users are dreading the change. Thinking about the days needed to move applications, the risks of human error, and fears about data being lost are enough to keep IT managers up at night — and to delay migrations as long as possible. VMware and Dell Software are working together to take the pain out of the migration process.
