My Work & Home Lab Environments

Sun, 23 Dec 2012 10:45:12 +0000

This is one of those geek posts that are interesting to the community IMO. I am frequently asked about the lab environment I am using for prototyping End User Computing stuff and general VMware product learning and testing. People ask me what kind of physical hardware and logical setup I am using to interact with multiple different VMware products.

PowerShell Module for (NVP) Nicira Network Virtualization Platform

Mon, 10 Dec 2012 08:55:23 +0000

The network virtualization concept of decoupling the logical networking from the physical networking much like in the same way server virtualization de-coupled the operating systems and software from the physical server hardware is permeating IT organizations.

NVP creates an intelligent abstraction layer between hosts and existing networks. Managed by a distributed controller system this intelligent edge transforms the physical network into a pool of network capacity and enables the programmatic creation of tens of thousands of isolated virtual networks to connect workloads in your cloud.

PCoIP Recommended Practices for Networking Devices

Display protocols for VDI are still very much a subject to be discussed, and in most environments tuned. The out-of-the-box setting from ANY of vendor will work for many situations; however every environment presents different challenges, making optimization a must.

Using iOmega IX4-200d as DHCP, DNS, TFTP and PXE server

Thu, 03 Feb 2011 15:37:00 +0000

This article is a bit off-topic if compared to what I usually write about ‘VDI’, but I thought it was worth to share. I really like the benefits of PXE booting and wanted to run PXE boot in my homelab, however my LinkSys WRT320N wireless router only provides very basic DHCP functionality. The other option would be Windows DHCP and DNS in a VM; however if the VM or host (I have a homelab in a box) is down for any reason all other devices in the house that use DHCP would not be able to get to the network and internet, including iPhones, PlayStation, Microwave, Oven etc…

F5 Networks releases deployment guide for VMware View 4

Wed, 07 Apr 2010 09:33:00 +0000

F5 Networks released a deployment and procedures guide for VMware View. This document provides guidance and configuration procedures for deploying the BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager (LTM) v10 with VMware View.

Probably one of the most interesting features provided by F5 BIG-IP appliance is the ability to create UDP tunneling with dTLS (datagram TLS) and TCP fall back. dTLS aim to improve PCoIP UDP end user experience over high latency networks such as the internet.

Cisco Solutions for a VMware View 4.0 Environment Design Guide

Tue, 23 Mar 2010 16:32:00 +0000

Mid February Cisco released a Networking Design Guide for VMware View 4.0 authored by Shannon McFarland. Only now I was able to have a look at the document and it seems to cover a reasonable amount of Cisco components that could possible integrate in a VMware View solution.
