Veeam’s tagline is “listening to you, building the tools you need.”  We’ve heard your requests and we’d like to announce now... [Lire la suite]

Alors que la « pillule » de l’upgrade quasi obligatoire de VMware Virtual Infrastructure 3 Enterprise vers vSphere Enterprise Plus a du mal à passer dans pas mal de DSI. Pour rappel : La licence VMware vSphere Enterprise ne sera plus commercialisée à la fin d’année et oblige bon nombre de Datacenter à migrer vers la version Enterprise Plus pour continuer à augmenter la taille des  clusters VMware existants tout en bénéficiant des fonctionnalités indispensables à un DataCenter tel que le DRS. Hier VMware a sorti deux... [Lire la suite]
