This post is related to a recent webinar I created. 2022 in review 2022 was a landmark year in the data security space globally, but it seems like it was the year that things really hit close to home for us here in APAC. Where 2021 was huge in the northern hemisphere, with JBS Meats, Colonial Pipeline and Kaseya, 2022 ...
I work with a large number of enterprises across the APAC region who are facing a daily battle – how do they provide the business the capability they require, the ability to share data, without causing a risk, revenue or reputational issue? I ran a webinar on this exact topic a few weeks ago. Security must start with the data ...
I started working at Varonis a little while ago. In my pre-sales role, I am partnered with an account manager, and our main role in life is to find and help enterprises that are facing challenges with Data Security. We are fighting a different battle than your conventional cyber security organisation – we secure the data first. The daata is ...
VMworld is almost upon us again. Virtual for now, but I know we’ll be able to all gather again soon. Why should you attend VMworld? Perhaps you’re a vSphere admin and want to jump-start your modern apps capability. Or you want to understand why apps are the lifeblood of business in today’s digital economy? You can even learn how Zoom ...
I recently wrote about app discovery in vRealize Operations. This is great if the service you intend to monitor is contained within the 30 or so out-of-the-box services, but what if you want to discover and monitor something else? Good news, all you need to do is define the service, and you’re off and discovering. From vRealize Operations, head to ...
VMware vRealize Operations has been the undisputed leader in infrastructure monitoring for the best part of ten years. It doesn’t matter if you want to understand your physical infrastructure, virtualised environments, storage or cloud, vRealize gives you a comprehensive view, including performance, availability and cost. But did you know it can perform application discovery without any provided host credentials? With ...
I’ve been using vRealize Ops for nearly a decade now, and have been enjoying watching it evolve in that time. Since vRealize Operations 8.0, we’ve been able to monitor most of the leading hyperscaler cloud platforms. I thought I’d take a look at monitoring my AWS Free Tier environment via vRops. I work with several customers that have large multicloud ...
vMotion took the industry by storm when introduced alongside the very first releases of ESX. I remember being blown away by the idea of a live migration when I first started my virtualisation career. We’ve taken vMotion for granted for a few years now, but how is VMware improving it? You may have missed significant innovations in vSphere 7.0 U1, ...
I’ve long been a passionate advocate for VMware’s vRealize Log Insight. I remember trying it out just after the 1.0 release way back in 2013. Along the way I’ve used it to build custom dashboards for all sorts of apps that didn’t have monitoring capability. I particularly appreciated it’s ability to quickly narrow down on an issue when troubleshooting, then ...
I’m a bit late to the party here, but I decided I’d give ESXi ARM Edition a crack this year. I’ve been using my Raspberry Pi 3 for a few years now. Along the way I’ve used it for all sorts of stuff around the house, as well as customer demo’s. A few notable highlights: Using VMware software to monitor ...
