VMware Cracks 😉
Anbei ein paar (hoffentlich) interessante Informationen – kurz und kompakt 🙂 …. Attached some (hopefully) interesting information – short and compact.
Sehr viel ist seit der Übernahme von VMware durch Broadcom passiert. Noch immer kommen beinahe täglich neue Veränderungen auf uns alle zu. Das VMware Team in der Schweiz und Österreich besteht noch weitgehend aus den selben Personen wie zu VMware Zeiten. Gemeinsam sind wir dabei, einen Weg in die neue “VMware by Broadcom” zu finden.
VMware hat per 6. Mai 2024 einen weiteren internen Meilenstein bei der Integration in Broadcom erreicht. Die VMware Systeme wurden hierbei in die Broadcom überführt. Als Kunde und Partner betrifft dies vor allem den Zugang zum neuen Support-Portal ->> https://support.broadcom.com/ .
An dieser Stelle eine HERZLICHES DANKESCHÖN an alle Kunden, Partner und Kollegen die den VMware Lösungen auch weiterhin die Stange halten.
Cheers,
Dudi

- License Matrix for VMware
- The new metric for nearly all VMware solutions is “Core based”. In short this means all physical cores on a processor socket need to be licensed
- If a physical processor has less than 16 cores ->> 16 cores are needed
- If a physical processor has more than 16 cores ->> actual number of cores is needed
