The Challenge of Developing for Enterprise and Cloud

Posted: 11 Jun 2013 05:02 PM PDT

Quick thought of the day. When developing software for the enterprise, the incentives exist to load up with lots of features. The enterprise procurement process emphasizes getting more features for similar money, leading the vendors to add more and more features. The folks buying to put stuff in the cloud are not the same. They [...]

Release: VMTurbo Operations Manager 4.0

Posted: 11 Jun 2013 02:25 PM PDT

VMTurbo today released version 4.0 of its virtualization management platform Operations Manager. This release is the follow up of version 3.3 which was released in February this year.

Version 4.0 offers extensions for monitoring storage and hybrid clouds.

The Storage extension, which is available as of today provides:

  • Greater control over storage resource allocation and configuration in support of virtualized workloads;
  • A mapping of the relationship between virtualized workloads and associated storage components;
  • Greater awareness of constraints, such as snapshot reservations, RAID configurations, storage efficiency features like thin provisioning and deduplication, controller load, storage IO capabilities, and other storage characteristics.

The Hybrid Cloud extension, which is available for VMTurbo customers in a Early Access program will enable workloads to seamlessly span on- and off-premises infrastructure to address peak demands by automatically determining what workloads should run in private or public cloud infrastructure, such as Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services. It will provide specific guidance regarding the "what, when and where" of running workloads in private, public, or combined cloud infrastructures.

Besides the extensions, the product itself provides the following new features:

  • Storage Tiering Support – Operations Manager discovers storage policies and limits recommendations accordingly. For example, if a virtual machine uses storage that is within a storage cluster, all recommended actions are constrained by its cluster.
  • High Availability Support – Operations Manager recognizes and respects dedicated- and shared-failover vSphere HA configurations in the HA cluster. This makes Operations Manager more accurate in resource allocation and workload placement decision-making.
  • Enhanced Multi-Tenancy – Operations Manager offers more flexibility for service providers to manage views and/or metrics within views that are shared with subscribers.
  • Workload Health View – The Workload View gives a unique perspective on the distribution of workloads throughout the virtual estate. It provides an at-a-glance view regarding how workloads are utilized, and how these virtual machines utilize their underlying host and storage resources.
  • Dashboard Export to PDF

Operations Manager is provided in an Enterprise Edition and a Cloud Edition, also a free Virtual Health Monitor version is provided which was released last month. Besides the announced storage and hybrid cloud extensions, VMTurbo also provides an Application Performance Management module. Pricing starts at $699 per physical CPU socket.  The Storage Extension starts at $599 per CPU socket and is generally available.

Release: Bromium vSentry 2.0

Posted: 11 Jun 2013 09:11 AM PDT

Bromium today released version 2.0 of its Security product based on the Xen hypervisor called vSentry. vSentry is a security product which uses a so called Microvisor which is a security-focused hypervisor that automatically, instantly and invisibly hardware-isolates each vulnerable Windows task in a micro-VM that cannot modify Windows or gain access to enterprise data or network infrastructure. Bromium vSentry 2.0 secures both 32- and 64 bit versions of Windows 7, and virtual desktops delivered with Microsoft Remote Desktop Services (including Citrix XenDesktop and VMware View). This version is the follow-up of version 1.1 which was released in December last year.

Version 2.0 provides secure mobility, safe collaboration and improved managebility:

  • Isolates each user task that accesses an untrusted network, blocking all attacks from captive portals, the web and untrusted content.
  • Lets users access and edit content without ever having to trust it
  • Bromium Management Server (BMS) improvements
    • Granular monitoring of deployment progress
    • Automted gathering of critical information
    • Centralized policy management – simplified policy creation, editing, and distribution, event aggregation and reporting, as well as dashboards for monitoring key metrics.

We just noticed, thanks to a tweet by Eric Sloof, that VMware's new product for log management and analysis, VMware vCenter Log Insight, is now available in an Open Beta program.

Delivered as a vApp, deployable with the standard OVF procedure, Log Insight collects and analyses syslog data from ESXi 4.1, 5.0, 5.1, vCenter Server Appliance and other arbitrary sources and can be integrated with vCenter Operations Manager to send notification and enable Launch in Context.

  • High Performance Ingestion: Log Insight accepts data, through syslog or APIs, at a throughput rate up to 100Mbps per node
  • Near Real-Time Search: Incoming data are available for search in a short time and can be aggregated with historical data and other sources as a single continuous log
