Just recently, VMware has announced a major update to its VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) architecture, version 5.0. It includes functionalities providing additional scalability, security, and several key enhancements to meet the requirements for IaaS infrastructures.

Thanks to MacBooks, ARM architecture is soon to become a part of everyday life everywhere, from regular users to corporate infrastructures. However, Apple isn’t the only one making progress in adopting this technology.

As the flagship product of VMware, the vSphere platform is in constant development. Just recently, the first update of VMware vSphere 8 has been released, which contains many useful features.

Veeam Software continues to work on enhancing its flagship products by introducing new features and upgrading old ones. The latest major update, Veeam Backup & Replication v12, has been in development for two years and offers a lot of improvements in versatility and functionality.

One of the reasons for such an error is that the disk descriptor file for the VM disk is either corrupted or missing. Fortunately, you can follow a straightforward process to recreate .vmdk descriptor files.

VMware App Volumes is a part of the VMware Horizon‘s Apps on Demand feature, which allows delivering apps to virtual desktops on demand. Instead of mounting VMDK with apps, dynamic mounting of the volumes starts only when you use an application. Now, Apps on Demand for published app environments extends this functionality to the apps published by Horizon Apps, Citrix Virtual Apps, and Microsoft Remote Desktop Session Host (RDSH)/terminal.

As one of the oldest virtualization technology vendors, VMware has had its fair share of ups and downs along the way. At VMware Explore 2022, the company introduced a way to fix the long-time complications with bugs in their major updates – IA/GA (Initial Availability/General Availability) model. It is a part of their latest VMware vSphere 8 release.

At VMware Explore 2022, the company introduced a lot of new products and technologies, jointly called “VMware Projects”. While some of them are rebranded solutions previously existing within the line of VMware products, others represent entirely new functionalities.

Unlike the previous years’ events, the VMware Explore 2022 was marked with the announcements of numerous novel projects, including the rebranding of previous ones. One of those is VMware Aria, formerly known as vRealize Cloud Management, which works both for the cloud and on-premises.
