Applying Custom Attributes beyond just Host & Virtual Machine Objects
I recently came to learn about a neat little tidbit from one of my readers, Ziad, regarding vSphere Custom Attributes. I had been a long time user of Custom Attributes when I was a customer and heavily used it in-conjunction with Automation. This is how many of our customers leveraged this capability, especially around provisioning and reporting use cases. Custom Attributes […]

7 Reasons VMware Virtual SAN Is Radically Simple
It is often that we hear technology solutions described as “revolutionary”, “incredible”, or “game-changing” and that list of adjectives could certainly go on. In some cases, those descriptions are fairly accurate while at other times, they tend to be a bit overstated. We here at VMware often use the term “radically simple” to describe Virtual SAN and I believe this flat out hits the nail on the head. Since the inception of Virtual SAN a couple of years ago, one of the main objectives has been to keep the management of Virtual SAN and the VMs running on Virtual SAN as simple as possible and, in my opinion, we have not only met that goal, but far exceeded it. Let’s look at seven examples.
