If you haven’t already seen the news, vSphere 6.7 Update 1 is now available for download from the VMware website. As with any VMware upgrade, please confirm that any systems/software that connect to vCenter and ESXi are fully supported on the new version before upgrading. Blog-a-Week 2018 Posting (BAW): In previous years, I have had periods throughout the year […]
This information has been around for a little while and therefore I apologise if you have seen it already. I have been investigating the different ways to migrate virtual machines from a local VMware vSphere environment to Microsoft Azure.

Yesterday, it was announced by VMware that the latest release of vSphere will be vSphere 6.7. vSphere 6.7 builds on the great work that has been done with vSphere 6.5, to provide simple management and operational efficiency. With vSphere 6.7 there is an enhanced vCenter Server Appliance (vCSA). This introduces new APIs that will improve the efficiency and experience to […]

Once again I have also received this recognition and hope to continue to provide more articles and posts to assist people and provide information over the coming year. This actually marks my fifth year of being accepted as a […]
