In the past couple weeks, The Register and VMware KB articles have highlighted the two latest ESXi bugs – one for 5.5 and one for 6.0. The bugs are significant because they can result in VM communication errors across hosts, and the inability to back them up or even power them on. The good news is that CloudPhysics is in a unique […]

It’s clear that Big Data analytics can help drive a company’s top-line success, with actionable intelligence about market trends, buyer behavior, purchase patterns, and more. But what happens when you focus the power of Big Data on your datacenter, discovering ways to make IT operations more efficient and reduce the risk of disruption? This new […]

I spent a decade at VMware chasing after customers’ virtualization performance problems, and took away two key learnings: The vast majority of performance problems are related to storage infrastructure in some fashion. Problems that actually get reported are just half the story. In reality, many issues go undetected until a serious problem surfaces. Even then, problems often […]

In my last blog post I talked about the our new Storage Analytics offering. Here, I want to focus on one of the core features of this product offering — Datastore Contention card. We all know that virtualization helps to drive up utilization of physical resources, but it also makes resource contention almost inevitable. VMware […]

Leveraging Big Data to Make Smarter Storage Decisions Virtualization transformed IT operations through powerful resource abstraction and workload consolidation. But it has also made IT operations extraordinarily more COMPLEX − especially where virtualization and storage meet. The now-common use of shared storage infrastructure has created an I/O blender effect that plagues IT teams daily with visibility and […]
