    Looking for a new switch

    the cisco sg500xg-8f8t is the only switch i know of that combines 10Gbase-T and SFP+, it doesn't meet your requirements for the 16 1Gbe ports however.

    Stretched datacenter topology

    I manage a site that has two data centers in separate buildings connected via single-mode fiber, the fiber run is less than 300 meters so latency is on par with a LAN (<1ms). We have a stretched VMware cluster spanning across those two sites backed by a NetApp metrocluster storage system...

    VMware View VDI environment -- limited to 2 CPU cores to VMs?

    And your changing the vcpu on the golden image, powering it up and making sure its recognized, powering it down and taking a new snapshot, and using that new snapshot when you recompose correct?

    VMware View VDI environment -- limited to 2 CPU cores to VMs?

    Not sure why they're not showing up but the right way to do it would be to change the golden image VM's vCPUs and then recompose your linked clone pool. A wild guess as to why the extra cores aren't recognized is because the replica disk is read-only and that's where the system configuration...

    VMware online training

    I took the ICM class through UCSC extension awhile back. Think it ran about 1300 maybe less. It was all online and there were no specific time requirements as to when you had to attend the class, they were all recorded lectures and there were weekly assignments that needed to be completed. Can't...

    SeanusT, thanks for your tip, on our RSA setup we were using unrestricted authentication agents, read up and saw they have restricted agents which allow you to query an AD group to permit access through the RSA authentication process. I then allowed the VDI subnet through on my palo alto rule...

    VMware host-based antivirus

    what would you guys recommend for a non-persistent vdi environment then? We're using system center now on our full clones but don't have anything for av protection on our non-persistent linked clones. Due to auditing requirements we're going to need something for AV on all our endpoints. I've...
