Educational Episodes: Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI)

Test how both hypervisors handle nested virtualization. Great insights if you’re building labs or training environments.

A solid IT infrastructure isn’t just about speed, it’s about cost efficiency. Secondary Storage plays a crucial role in maintaining this balance. Discover what is secondary storage, its use cases, and operating principles.

Leakage of confidential business information can become a true disaster for any company. Therefore, data security is an issue of prime importance for most of companies. Organizing an IT infrastructure, administrators’ top question is how to warrant a secure storage to keep sensitive business information. In this article, I suggest having a closer look at a relatively recent method of ensuring data security – VMware virtual machines encryption that can become a good remedy against intruders for your organization.

Tune your live migration settings in Hyper-V for faster, smoother VM moves — especially in clustered setups.

Upgrading to Windows Server2025? The big question is whether to go for an in-place upgrade or a clean install. We’ve compared both approaches, highlighting their pros, cons, and best practices in our latest detailed guide. 

Once engineers came up with the way to virtualize graphics processing units (GPUs), the new era started for machine learning, gaming, modeling, and whatever else IOPS-hungry: all these applications can now go cloud! In this article, I’d like to take a closer look at why GPU virtualization is so promising, who pioneers this tech, and how VMware managed to cover the gap between the virtual and bare-metal GPUs.

There are various tricks and hints we all use to make our daily system administration routines easier. One of them is virtual machine cloning provided by VMware vCenter Server. Great and simple thing allowing you to deploy many identical virtual machines to a group – no need to repeat the same process all over again. This is usually done in vCenter but there are several other ways you can go if it becomes unavailable.
