Earlier this week I wanted to trial Windows 10 with VMware Horizon View and User Environment Manager in my lab.
Unfortunately setting up Linked Clones like this isn’t straight forward from a licencing standpoint, so a few adjustments had to be made. Continue reading
It’s that time of year again, where 10,000+ virtualisation professionals and enthusiasts descend on the Fira Gran Via conference centre in Barcelona for VMworld 2016 Europe.
Whilst I was unable to make VMworld US due to a client project, I am very much looking Continue reading
Recently I got myself into position where I lost a VMFS partition containing some vital lab VMs. Unfortunately, this was during a quick migration, where the words “what’s the worst that can happen?” were used. Continue reading
I’ve long been an advocate for using Distributed vSwitches (dVS) in vSphere. The single point of management, coupled with added functionality such as load-based teaming and NIOC, is a huge advantage over Standard vSwitches.

Following on from the success of the Scottish VMware User Group meeting in Glasgow, I will be speaking at the North-West England VMUG in Manchester on Wednesday 25 May.

Recently I’ve been toying with the idea of a homelab refresh. My current Dell and Cisco hardware has performed well over the years, and is still very powerful. However new technologies such as All-Flash VSAN and Azure Stack require enterprise-level hardware such as 10GbE and vast amounts of memory. Continue reading
In my current role I’m responsible for evanglelising a number of VMware solutions, from Horizon View to vRealize Automation and everything in between. A large number of these can be secured with genuine SSL certificates Continue reading
In my final part in my series on Implementing a VMware Virtual Desktop Infrastructure with Horizon View 6.2 I showed how to deploy the View Access Point using ovftool. However, thanks to Chris Halstead there is an easier way. He has developed a tool to take the pain out of the deployment. Continue reading
