On-target questioning and in-depth listening to customer’s pain points are important, so we can collaborate together to solve their issues and going beyond that to enhance their innovations. For me, it is not relevant right now to describe the byte per-byte … Read more

Setelah kita masuk ke dunia IT operation, akan banyak hal-hal operasional yang membutuhkan troubleshooting. Biasanya disebabkan karena slow performance dari sebuah aplikasi. Jika ini terjadi di virtualization environment, maka kita perlu memastikan bahwa infrastructure yang ditangani mampu memberikan jaminan SLA yang sudah kita sepakati sebelumnya. Berikut ini adalah beberapa key area yang perlu diperhatikan untuk … Read more
FYI, for latest info about VMware, regarding vRealize Operations Manager tool yang baru launch last month version 6.6. Improvement-nya sangat bagus sekali, user interface berubah karena menggunakan framework Clarity HTML5 yang baru (open source by VMware). By default, banyak sekali dashboard yang bisa digunakan untuk monitoring – yang sebelumnya perlu dibuat dengan custom dashboard. Terutama bisa … Read more
Berikut ini adalah dua buah dokument resmi dari VMware yang sangat detail, dapat menjelaskan mengenai hal-hal yang perlu diperhatikan untuk men-design solusi NSX: Dapat di download resmi dari website VMware: VMware® NSX for vSphere Network Virtualization Design Guide ver 3.0 – http://www.vmware.com/content/dam/digitalmarketing/vmware/en/pdf/products/nsx/vmw-nsx-network-virtualization-design-guide.pdf VMware Validated Design for Software- Defined Data Center 2.0 Reference Architecture Guide – https://www.vmware.com/pdf/vmware-validated-design-20-reference-architecture-guide.pdf VMware® … Read more
vSphere saat ini sudah sangat bisa diandalkan untuk dapat menjalankan berbagai macam Business Critical Applications, dari berbagai macam programming language seperti Java, .NET, dan lain-lain. Database system dengan load yang tinggi seperti Billing, Analytics, dan lain-lain juga dapat didukung dengan sangat baik di vSphere baik menggunakan Oracle Database, SQL Server, dan lain-lain. Selain dapat memberikan performance … Read more
Melanjutkan posting sebelumnya, kali ini saya akan menulis dalam bahasa Indonesia. Karena saya rasa sudah banyak yang menulis artikel seperti ini dalam bahasa Inggris, tapi jarang dalam bahasa Indonesia. Merayakan launching terbaru dari vSphere 6.5, maka kali ini saya akan melakukan instalasi dan konfigurasi dari komponen tersebut di VMware Fusion MacBook Pro milik saya. Tulisan ini sebenarnya … Read more
Pada bulan October 2016 kemarin VMware mengenalkan vSphere seri terbaru yaitu versi 6.5. Pada tanggal 16 November 2016 software tersebut sudah bisa di-download publicly. Well, seperti biasa banyak sekali enhancements yang dilakukan pada software virtualisasi ini pada setiap versi terbarunya yang sangat sulit dikejar oleh competitors.

Initially, I don’t know why I am posting this article because this will make some redundancies to other contents in the internet. Hmmm, well maybe because some customers always ask me about the data sheets of VMware products, then I think it will be easier if I just tell them about this post rather than they … Read more
In this post, I would like to share about CPU limit and CPU reservation configuration in vSphere ESXi virtualisation technology. Actually those features are great (since the configuration also available in vCloud Director (*it will call the configuration in vCenter)). Those features are great if you really know and already consider on how to use it properly. For example, if … Read more
Sorry to disturb the tutorial about cloud native application, just a quick note about the troubleshooting. I found an issue today regarding my iSCSI connection to the datastore. All hosts are all having this error when trying to connect to the SAN. This is because I played with my Lab a lot! and tried to … Read more
I have some testings couple of times about this. In a Business Critical Applications, Telco Workloads Applications (Network Function Virtualisation (NFV)), or High CPU intensive applications (without high up and down intensity of CPU workloads), it is always recommended to do dimensioning of 1 vCPU compare to 1 pCPU. Regardless we have the performance benefit … Read more
In VMware vSphere environment, why Smaller vCPU is better than Bigger vCPU (if the workloads only require few vCPU) in a fully probable contention environment? To explain this further let’s take an example of a four pCPU host that has four VMs, three with 1 vCPU and one with 4 vCPUs. At best only the … Read more
Usually customer would like to expand the benefits that they already achieved using virtualization (financial, business and operational benefits of virtualization within its operating environment) to another level. For example to Business Critical Applications such as Oracle Database, thereby reaping the many benefits and advantages through its adoption of this infrastructure. Customer aims to achieve … Read more
Following our technical discussion regarding upgrade VMware environments, actually I already wrote about this topic in different thread in this blog. But, I would like to emphasise again by using another KB from VMware. VMware has made available certain releases to address critical issues and architectural changes for several products to allow for continued interoperability: vCloud Connector (vCC) … Read more
