So yesterday was the second day of VMworld 2018 and once again was packed with extremely good session, announcements and content. Watch my video to find out what I got up to and learnt on day 2 of VMworld!
Read MoreIn this video demonstration I will how you how to create new networks within the NSX environment and make them routable on an external network, all without making any changes to physical switches.
Read MoreToday was the first day of VMworld 2018 and what a start to the week it was!
Read MoreToday, myself, the rest of the ComputerWorld team and our customers who are out at VMworld 2018 were lucky enough to get a chance to hear about VMware’s EUC vision and strategy from the main EUC man himself, Shawn Bass, CTO of EUC at VMware.
Read MoreThis year I am extremely lucky enough to be out in Barcelona for VMworld 2018! Whilst there is so much going on, with announcements, hands on labs, product demos and of course meeting everyone within the community, I wanted to give myself a clear focus for the week and learn more about Workspace Transformation.
Read MoreService Composer is a component within NSX that allows the automation of security policy. In this video demonstration I will show you how to use Service Composer to configure a security policy that can isolate a virtual machine if a virus is found.
Read MoreNSX Manager can be integrated with Active Directory to allow Distributed Firewall (DFW) rules to be applied based on the used identity. In this video I will demonstrate how AD based security groups can be used with the DFW to allow access for the SSH protocol.
Read MoreRecently, I was fortunate enough to attend this year’s Barracuda Tech summit in the breathtaking scenery of the small remote town of Alpbach in Austria. Which sits at over 3000ft above sea level in the Austrian mountains
The objective of the summit was for Barracuda to deliver to their top 400 partners and customers a technical update on all their products line and business update on how Barracuda is doing and what they are planning for the future.
Read MoreUnified Access Gateway (formally Access Point) is used to secure external access for a Horizon View. There are numerous advantages over using Security Servers, which are still supported, noticeably the lower resources required to run and the removal of the necessity to pair with a dedicated security server. Not to mention the lack of Windows! In a multi-site environment with redundancy that is a significant reduction in deployed resource.
Read MoreI’ve recently been involved in several conversations with customers and within ComputerWorld regarding office space and the future of the office.
Whilst this isn’t an area I profess to be a specialist in, it does tie in with something that’s close to my heart. That is “workspace transformation”. Or to use a less fancy phrase, the way we work and get stuff done.
Read MoreIn this video demonstration I will configure the Distributed Firewall (DFW) to permit access to RDP only for a group of virtual machines. Using dynamic security groups within NSX manger allows new virtual machines meeting the criteria to be automatically protected when they are provisioned.
Read MoreIn the news currently is a potentially far-reaching scandal centred around the addition of a tiny surveillance chip into certain Supermicro server motherboards. Bloomberg Businessweek has broken a story blowing the whistle on a ‘secret’ FBI investigation that’s been running for a couple of years and implications that similar discoveries made but not publicised by both Apple and Amazon in 2015 led both companies to cease trading with SuperMicro and allegedly remove SuperMicro hardware from their datacentres.
Read MoreIn this video I will use security groups created in a previous demonstration to create a simple rule to block ping from a group of virtual machines.
Read MoreIn this video I will walk through creating 3 type of security groups that can be used alongside the distributed firewall (DFW) to protect virtual machines.
Read MoreIn today’s industry, an IT disaster recovery plan is essential. It is not only essential to protect a business from catastrophic failure, but it is expected by customers, necessary against our competition and required by data protection regulations.
