F5 Announces Enhanced VXLAN Support for Big-IP

October 09, 2012 06:53 PM

F5 Networks’ application delivery controllers will facilitate the deployment of private clouds with its support of the virtual network overlay technology.

VMworld Has VXLAN Winning the Network Overlay War

August 29, 2012 11:35 AM

Several vendors, including VMware, showed VXLAN implementations with vSphere. That's a good start for a new protocol, and with VMware's backing we'll see even greater support coming up.

License Changes, Backup Software, Spin out: VMware Rumors Settled next Week

August 24, 2012 04:38 PM

VMworld kicks off in San Francisco next week: What does the vendor have in store? What do its partners and competitors have planned?

Proximal Unveils First SSD Cache for VMware's vSphere

July 25, 2012 01:30 PM

To date, server-side SSD caching products include drivers for Windows or Linux. Proximal now supports the hypervisor directly, allowing features like vMotion and Live Migration to work as intended.

Storage Snapshots in a vSphere World

June 08, 2012 03:21 PM

Snapshots are important--but they're less valuable in a virtual environment. Our blogger explains why.

Combining SSD Cache and Virtual Storage Appliances

June 06, 2012 12:56 PM

Is it time to consider combining a RAID controller with a virtual storage appliance for shared storage? Our blogger says maybe.

Virsto Software Beefs Up Storage Hypervisor

January 17, 2012 10:00 AM

Virsto Software, which claims to have coined the phrase "storage hypervisor," is now shipping Virsto for VDI, vSphere edition, and Virsto for Hyper-V 2.0, adding advanced storage management functionality to the two most popular server virtualization solutions. The company says its products increase existing physical storage utilization by up to 90%, accelerate virtual machine provisioning by up to 75% and reduce the cost of storage in virtual environments by up to 70%.

vSphere Tops Hyper-V in Disk I/O

January 17, 2011 12:21 PM

As a user of server virtualization tools, and a follower of the market, I've always thought that VMware's lead was evident primarily on the management side of the ledger--with vCenter integration, vMotion, Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) and the like. Microsoft Hyper-V, I thought, was a competitive hypervisor that needed a bit more age in the bottle to develop the features that I love in vSphere. Then Overland Storage hired my firm, DeepStorage.net, to test its SnapSAN S2000 in both environments, and I saw that the same hardware could perform about 23 more input/output operations per second (IOP) under vSphere than under Hyper-V.

Broadcom Doubles VMware CPU Efficiency

September 24, 2010 10:00 AM

A few weeks ago, VMware announced that vSphere 4.1 enables 10Gb iSCSI hardware offload in the Broadcom 957711 Converged NIC (C-NIC). Before VMware supported 10Gb iSCSI offload, data center managers connected their VMware servers to 10Gb iSCSI SANs using a combination of NIC hardware and fat iSCSI device drivers, a configuration where most of the iSCSI protocol processing is done by the VMware server. Now with vSphere 4.1, VMware supports the latest generation of converged C-NICs that use thin iSCSI drivers, a scenario where most of the iSCSI protocol processing is done by the iSCSI offload engine in the C-NIC. My expectation for 10Gb iSCSI offload is that storage deployed with VSphere 4.1 will run faster and use a lot less of the precious CPU resources that rightfully belong to virtual machines and business applications.
