At this time of the year you might be
thinking just about the holidays, recipes, relatives, Thanksgiving, Christmas,
etc…
Well, why not take a break of all these
nightmares : )
VMware has been busy this end of year releasing
new versions of several products, while some of the improvements and fixes are
huge others are just minor releases and bug fixes.
Bellow you can find what products have been
updated and just a taste of what are the main improvements on each one.
I encourage you to go through the release
notes of them to learn what has changed, improved and fixed.
The benefits, I think, which are the
most important on this release are the SSO related issues, fix of Timeout error
when login on vSphere WebClient and the ability to login on AD that has
no-standard UPN.
This version now removes the vRAM
limitation, added support for customization of Windows 2008 and 2012 and it’s
now supported to run on Windows 2012.
This release adds support for Solaris
11, Solaris 11.1 and Mac OS X Server Lion 10.7.5 guest operating systems.
vCloud Networking and Security 5.1.2 | 20 DEC 2012 | Build 943471
New REST APIs for configuration, VXLAN virtual wire visible on vCenter inventory and vShield Edge redeploy enhancements.
vCloud Networking and Security 5.1.2 | 20 DEC 2012 | Build 943471
New REST APIs for configuration, VXLAN virtual wire visible on vCenter inventory and vShield Edge redeploy enhancements.
It’s a minor release which does not
bring new great features, but it fixes several issues you might face when using
vSphere Replication.
Added support for protection and IP
customization on Windows 8 and 2012. Auto gerentare certificates of 2048 bytes
is another improvement on this release.
That’s a huge upgrade with several new improvements
and fixes.
We can highlight, support for vCenter
5.1 , integration with vCenter Infraestructure Navigator, Integration with
vCenter Configuration Manager, integration with vSphere WebClient, improvements
on the stress and peak utilization and much more.
Creation of manual application groups,
Integration with vCenter Operations Manager and multi-tier application
discovery.
Now you can migrate your VMs from your
private cloud to a public cloud and keep your network settings, template
synchronization between clouds and search across clouds are the main
improvements on this release.
Merry Christmas.....
