Genau an dem Tag, an dem die neue Veeam Availability Suite V9 erschienen ist, konnten wir unser «What's new» Referat durchführen. Somit erhielten die Teilnehmer am 12. Januar brandheisse News zu den neusten Features.
Unser Veeam Certified Trainer Rinon Belegu zeigte an diesem Abend, warum er der Ansicht ist, dass die «Veeam Availability Suite» das beste Produkt für Hochverfügbarkeit in virtuellen Umgebungen ist und den Erfolgskurs mit der Version 9 fortführt.
Diese Features stellte Rinon Belegu vor:
- Veeam integration with EMC Storage Snapshots
- Veeam Cloud Connect Replication
- Primary Storage Integration
- Veeam Explorer™for Oracle and other Explorer enhancements
- Enterprise Enhancements
- Backup Storage Integration
- Scale-out Backup Repository™
Industry leaders Cisco, NetApp, VMware and Symantec have teamed up to develop a best practice framework and performance benchmark based on the VMware vSphere® Storage APIs - Data Protection (VADP). The test configuration uses the popular NetApp FlexPod environment, and the result proves that you can easily protect over 4 TB of virtual machine data per hour. And improved backup performance creates more reliable backups, shorter backup windows and less impact on the vSphere infrastructure.
In this session, we will show how these performance numbers can be easily obtained with minimal hardware and a small budget. In addition to backup performance, we will also discuss restore performance considerations.
Key topics include:
• How to select the correct hardware for the best ROI
• Strategies for minimizing backup impact and maximizing backup throughput
• Performance characteristics of VADP
• SAN or NBD (network) transports: which is recommended?
• Configurations for the fastest possible restores
VMware Backups That Work—Lessons Learned From VADP Performance Benchmark TestingSymantec
We’ve pushed the backup performance envelope so that you don’t have to! Industry leaders Cisco, NetApp, VMware and Symantec teamed up to develop a best practice framework and performance benchmark based on the vStorage APIs for Data Protection (VADP). The test configuration uses the popular NetApp FlexPod environment. The result that proves that you can easily protect over 4 TB of virtual machine data an hour. Most think that to provide this sort of performance, a mountain of hardware is required. This is not the case. We show you how these performance numbers can be easily obtained with minimal hardware and a small budget. Improving backup performance also creates more reliable backups, shorter backup windows and less impact on the vSphere infrastructure. Whether or not you are using NetBackup, we invite you to attend this hangout where we'll dig deep into VMware VADP and its performance characteristics. We'll share lessons learned from extensive lab benchmarks simulating real production workloads. This will help you design and deploy a backup solution for your VMware vSphere environment that meets your business SLAs.
Bonus exclusively at this hangout: In this hangout, we will provide a sneak preview some of NetBackup for VMware features coming in NetBackup 7.6. We have exciting results to share on how NetBackup is pushing the performance envelope further!

This year VMware vSphere 6 combined with vRealize Operations 6.1 (vR Ops 6) adds critical features to increase technical agility in the infrastructure, and reduce Mean time to Repair. With a new Automated remediation action framework in vR Ops, vSphere 6’s ability to vMotion Physical Raw Device mappings (RDMs), and a complete Management Pack Ecosystem for monitoring Infrastructure to applications, administrators have the tools needed to get to maintain 5 9’s uptime, shorten Mean Time to Repair (MTTR), and predict capacity requirements as and when the business requires.. This session will be a deep technical explanation, and live demonstration of these tools. It will give administrators a solid understanding of how they can use these tools to monitor and manage their application clusters, keep applications running during Infrastructure maintenance, and get deep holistic visibility into the entire Application ecosystem, from Storage to Networking.
VMworld 2015: Advanced SQL Server on vSphereVMworld
Microsoft SQL Server is one of the most widely deployed “apps” in the market today and is used as the database layer for a myriad of applications, ranging from departmental content repositories to large enterprise OLTP systems. Typical SQL Server workloads are somewhat trivial to virtualize; however, business critical SQL Servers require careful planning to satisfy performance, high availability, and disaster recovery requirements. It is the design of these business critical databases that will be the focus of this breakout session. You will learn how build high-performance SQL Server virtual machines through proper resource allocation, database file management, and use of all-flash storage like XtremIO. You will also learn how to protect these critical systems using a combination of SQL Server and vSphere high availability features. For example, did you know you can vMotion shared-disk Windows Failover Cluster nodes? You can in vSphere 6! Finally, you will learn techniques for rapid deployment, backup, and recovery of SQL Server virtual machines using an all-flash array.
VMworld 2015: Virtualize Active Directory, the Right Way!VMworld

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

VMware’s Approach to Log Management
Extend Analytics to Log Data
• With vC Ops, VMware introduced an analytics-based operations
management solution for structured data (metrics, KPIs, events, alerts)
• Log Insight extends our analytics-based approach to logs and
unstructured, machine generated data
Easy to Use and Accessible
• Existing solutions are highly specialized and often too expensive
• Log Insight has an intuitive, easy-to-use interface
• Using a predictable pricing model with unlimited amount of log data,
making it accessible to all
Optimized for VMware Environments
• Log Insight comes with built-in knowledge and native support for vSphere
• Integration with vC Ops maximizes ROI and value, providing a complete
cloud operations management solution

Key vCenter Log Insight Use Cases
IT Operations
• Troubleshooting and Root Cause Analysis
I observed a problem (e.g. slowness), try to troubleshoot the problem and identify the
part of the stack that is responsible (e.g. network delay vs storage)
Follow the trail from vC Ops to logs to get to root cause to an observed problem
• Monitoring Using Logs
Monitor metrics and events (performance & change) that are visible only in logs
Collect all the data in one place without the need for custom parsing, transformation of
data
Security and Compliance
• Security Forensics
• Comprehensive Audit (who, when) / Compliance Reporting
Business Transaction Monitoring
• Collect and correlate transaction logs with infrastructure performance
