comdivision: blog

I recently had to upgrade two log insight instances for a customer from 4.x to 8.x. This was a manual process in two phases (you have to upgrade to 4.8 first).

Recently, I had to install an older version of vRealize Automation, being more precisely, version 8.0.1, which is still downloadable from the Homepage of VMware and is officially still supported. Why, that’s a different story.

I decided to write an article, because starting with the official documentation, I found, that the documentation has just been copied from a previous version and is not matching VMware Cloud Director anymore.

So here we go, we did it again. Congratulations to the complete team and best we achieved parts of this with our newest team members! Thank you all... We are the 2nd partner globally with all 7 Master Services competencies. First our friends from ITQ, third are our friends from HUCO, all EMEA partners.

comdivision moved already in 2017/2018 to purchase only 100% regenerative / carbon neutral energy to reduce our carbon footprint. We also invest in constant energy constant monitoring for offices as well as datacenter to identify potential areas of energy reduction

Up until mid last year Kubernetes was not high on my radar and to be honest we did not have it as a focus area for the comdivision group. We don't really have any big internal development which at that point in time could have leveraged Kubernetes, neither did any of our customers back then really attempt to build anything cloud native thou creating demand.

Entries have opened again to apply for the VMware vExpert program for the second half of the year. I want to share my path and experiences in the program so far, hoping it might be helpful if you are considering applying (and you should …).

Today I want to talk about my experience about traveling internationally after the European travel ban has been removed.

In the middle of the real world COVID-19 crisis a customer got struck by a cyberattack.

Another non tech article, but my heart and head wanted to get this message out the door!

Last week we had our monthly internal security audit where we found that we should update our internal UAG appliances. During the review of our internal system, we also decided to upgrade the fronting UAG. Unfortunately, IT tasks are mostly not as simple as moving just one match to correct the equation:

Original Post from vlenzker.net: https://vlenzker.net/2020/04/better-together-vsphere-7-and-horizon-7-12-with-nvidia-vgpus-in-high-end-vdi-environments/Current situations accelerate the demand for virtual desktops and a proper virtual desktop infrastructure. I am working for years in the field of the software-defined datacenter and virtual desktops delivered via VMware Horizon. While standard office virtual desktops have become something like a commodity, the usage of hardware graphics accelerated workload and high-end demand is still kind of ‘newer’ and not as mature as the non-gpu workload.I am involved in a large scale product that creates a virtual desktop landscape for engineers doing a lot computer aided engineering (CAE). This is a very interesting environment that comes with a lot of difficult user requirements and how it can be solved.
