Protecting against Ransomware

I hear backup companies talking about protecting against Ransomware and it normally means after the fact it will help you recover. Some of them do talk about it that way - and some don't. But this article will be about the defense. Not a detail type plan but good and important things to think about. … Continue reading Protecting against Ransomware →

What a great time - VMworld 2016 Hackathon rules!

Management Cluster (Stack?) thoughts

Hi there, I hope for some comments on this to improve my thinking. Background The idea of Management Clusters is not particularly old or new.  My first exposure was when I was part of Integration Engineering in R&D at VMware.  We had a management cluster that held our GA management software, and we had compute … Continue reading Management Cluster (Stack?) thoughts →
