Each Virtual Machine is a collection of resources provided by the infrastructure layer, usually organized in a pool of resources and assigned dynamically (or in some case statically) to each VM.

Backing up a VMware Horizon View environment configuration is one of the most important parts of running a virtual desktop infrastructure. Most administrators already know how to back up virtual desktops, but, unfortunately, very few pay enough attention to backing up Horizon View configurations. That’s not smart! If you have any problems with a large View Manager configuration, it can take several hours or even days to set up pools and policies, configure entitlements, and perform other tasks. Sounds tough, I guess. That’s why you need to have a safe harbor for Horizon View configurations too.
Since VMworld 2018 in Las Vegas, VMware has “sneak peeked” many details about the upcoming vSAN version features. I recall that it is going to be released in Q1/Q2 this year (it is in beta yet). And, considering that we approach closer and closer to the release date, I’d like to take a deeper look at some new technologies that we are so excited to see in the upcoming VMware vSAN version.
Azure Traffic Manager (ATM) is a great Azure service to distribute user traffic to service endpoints in different datacenters.
Initially my plan for this blog post was to write up a short explanation of how to copy SQL Server instance master key between SQL Server instances, but too many people around me keep saying “start with why”, so I decided to go through some practical example from K2 world to illustrate when you may need to perform this operation. We will consider scenario of migration of already existing K2 database to a new SQL Server instance. This scenario will serve us as an illustration and essential “why part”. I also feel that it may facilitate understanding of the process itself.
Do you have problems with lack of space when using SQL express or setting up ODBC parameters before installing vCenter? So it’s time for you to think about VMware vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA) – a pre-configured virtual appliance running Linux (Project Photon OS). It has been optimized specifically for vCenter services. What about the scale? VCSA supports up to 2000 hosts or 3500 VMs per appliance. Sounds good, right? In addition, VCSA provides enhanced security. Why wait? Take a step into the future!
Windows Admin Center offers a great web interface for managing Windows Server. Microsoft’s desire to bring the capabilities of the hybrid cloud to on-premises systems has led to the inclusion of the Azure Backup feature in Windows Admin Center. Now you can configure Azure Backup for your Windows Server with just a few clicks and save your time and resources. This is especially suitable for those who have a small environment in a data center. Or maybe it is hosted by another service provider, where having your own backup infrastructure does not make much sense.
After seeing how to create a new user in our Azure AD, with Azure Function, then call this function from a SharePoint list, we will see how to make it more « user friendly ».
VMware vCenter server Appliance 6.7 U1 (VCSA) is a VM running Photon OS, which is hardened and optimized VMware Linux distribution. All future releases will only be available as VCSA which is the preferred deployment method of vCenter Server. If you’re running an older version of vCenter server on Windows, you can migrate to VCSA via a built-in migration tool. The migration process is quite easy, but today we’ll focus only on clean installation and configuration of VCSA in a new environment.
KEMP’s main product is LoadMaster, a load balancer, which allows you to work with dozens of web applications. The problem is that some web resources do not include an authentication form, as for example SSO. Therefore, moving to these applications through Kemp, the security of your data is at risk. But don’t worry! ESP or Edge Security Pack is an authentication form provided by Kemp and presented to clients before accessing the web applications.
