RT @leecaswell: vSAN Ready for New @intel Xeon Processor Scalable Family
Lee Caswell of VMware discusses how vSAN is ready on Day 1 to take advantage of the latest x86 architecture from Intel, supporting the new Intel Xeon Processor Scalable Family to power next-generation hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI).
New family of Intel Xeon Scalable Processors enable software defined data infrastructures (SDDI) and SDDC
Overall this is a good set of announcements by Intel and what we can also expect to be a flood of enhancements from their partners who will use the new family of Intel Xeon Scalable Processors in their products to enable software-defined data infrastructures (SDDI) and SDDC.
NestedESXi – Network Performance Improvements with Learnswitch
I’ve been running my NestedESXi homelab for about eight months now but in all that time I had not installed or enabled the ESXi MAC Learning dvFilter. As a quick refresher the VMware Fling addresses the issues with nested ESXi hosts and the impact that promiscuous mode has when enabled on virtual switches. In a nutshell, network traffic will hit The post NestedESXi – Network Performance Improvements with Learnswitch appeared first on VIRTUALIZATION IS LIFE! .

VMware NSX and the Data Center Network Evolution
Can VMware NSX solve the main architectural challenges of current data center networks? Watch this short video from Gustavo Santana (author, VCIX-NV, triple-CCIE, and NSX SE Manager for Latin America) to understand how VMware NSX can positively influence on the architecture of physical data center networks. Here are some of the topics addressed by Santana: * The evolution of data center networks from the 1990s to the 2010s * Benefits and challenges of each evolution phase (STP-based, Multi-chassis, fabrics) * An architectural perspective of VMware NSX * A new proposed architecture for data center networks The network virtualization revolution continues!

The Code Keepers: vSAN Native Encryption – Part 2
There are three parties involved in vSAN encryption – (1) Key Management Server or the KMS server (this is the entity that generates the keys)) (2) vCenter and (3) vSAN host or ESXi host Before we attempt to encrypt any data on vSAN, the first step is to set up a domain of trust among 3 parties (KMS, vCenter and vSAN host).
