In this episode of the Security Swarm Podcast, host Andy and recurring guest, Paul, talk about the challenges and opportunities organizations face amidst the Broadcom acquisition of VMware. They discuss the steep price hikes for VMware licenses and the security vulnerabilities recently discovered in VMware products.   This acquisition has prompted many businesses to consider alternative solutions, and the episode provides a comprehensive overview of the available options within the Microsoft ecosystem. They cover a range of migration strategies, including moving to the Microsoft ecosystem through Azure, Azure Stack HCI, and on-premises Hyper-V solutions.  Andy and Paul offer valuable insights into ensuring a secure and seamless transition away from VMware, making this episode essential listening for IT professionals navigating these significant changes.  Key takeaways: Broadcom's Acquisition of VMware is Causing Major Disruption due to massive license cost increases of 300-500% for many organizations.  Microsoft Hyper-V is a Viable Alternative to VMware. It offers a mature, enterprise-ready hypervisor that can be a cost-effective replacement for VMware.  Azure Stack HCI Provides an On-Premises VMware Alternative. It provides a hyperconverged infrastructure solution with Hyper-V at the core, along with integration to Azure services for management and modernization.  Security pitfalls can arise when organizations rush to migrate away from VMware due to the Broadcom situation. Proper planning, understanding the security posture of the new platform, and ensuring critical configurations like backup are in place are essential to mitigate risks.  Timestamps: (02:51) - Vulnerabilities in VMware  (07:30) - Migrating to the Microsoft Ecosystem  (13:38) - On-Premises Microsoft Options  (38:45) - Security Considerations for Migrations  (44:52) - Pragmatic Approach to Platform Selection  Episode Resources: Microsoft and Broadcom to Support License Portability  Paul's article on options for migrating from VMware to Microsoft  VMware Sandbox Escape Bugs

Secure remote file access without OneDrive or VPNs? Richard chats with Ned Pyle about the power of SMB over QUIC. Ned talks about the ongoing battle to put older versions of SMB to bed and how QUIC is becoming the de facto standard for moving files around, both within the network and across the internet. While a lot of business files can be served effectively from OneDrive for Business, often, you have applications and infrastructure that depend on UNCs and other file mapping approaches. SMB for QUIC through Azure VMs and Azure Stack HCI allows the same UNC paths to work securely inside and outside your office network.

Why do you need Azure Stack? Richard chats with Sarah Lean about the capabilities Azure Stack HCI brings to your organization. Sarah describes the three flavors of Azure Stack, including Hub, Edge, and HCI - short for Hyper-Converged Infrastructure. While all the options act like a part of Azure, they are optimized for different needs, but primarily focus on putting Azure-style compute closer to where you need it, perhaps as part of a machine learning solution, IoT, and so on. Azure Arc plays a role in giving you a broad view of your cloud assets, Stack assets, and regular on-premises resources also!Links:Azure Stack HCIAzure ArcAzure Stack HCI Pro 2FastTrack for AzureRecorded October 24, 2022

Windows Admin Center in Azure? Richard talks to Prasidh Arora about the preview of WAC in Azure - giving admins that familiar Windows Admin Center view of Azure Virtual Machines running Windows Server 2016 or later. Prasidh talks about creating a unified view and admin access to your servers, whether they are running on-premises, in Azure, or even on other cloud infrastructures. Installing Azure Arc on a server makes it available from WAC in Azure. The conversation also digs into the privileges challenges - making sure you have rights on the server for WAC's different capabilities. But with WAC for Azure, we're one step closer to a unified view and control of infrastructure.

Düstere Wolken am Broadcom-Himmel, denn die EU hat eine Untersuchung der Übernahme von VMware durch Broadcom angekündigt. Die Übernahme von ARM durch nVidia ist am Widerstand der Behörden gescheitert - sollte es auch bei Broadcom so sein? *Dallas-Titelmusik*. Wir wissen es nicht, wir wissen aber, dass Azure Stack HCI ziemlich interessant aussieht! Neuigkeiten gibt es auch bei VMware: Dort gibt es nun mit vSphere+/ vSAN+ die Möglichkeit seine Umgebung an die VMware Cloud anzubinden - und auf ein Subscription-Modell zu wechseln. Das Ransomware ein Geschäftsmodell ist wussten wir ja bereits - aber die haben auch Arbeitszeiten! Und Conti hat intern soviel Beef, dass sie sich aufspalten. Aufspalten muss aber nicht schlecht sein - zumindest wenn es um Verkehr geht! Das kann ein Reverse Proxy und wozu man den braucht, und was ihn von einem Load Balancer unterscheidet erklären wir in einem etwas längeren Gespräch. Dabei streifen wir auch mal das Thema "Web Application Firewall". Zum Schluss geht es um Zertifikate und den Exchange Edge Transport - letzterer ist dann auch der Aufreger der Woche. Viel Spaß mit der neuen Folge und entschuldigt das Brummen. :/ Wir geloben Besserung!

We've got Microsoft MVP Eric Siron for a conversation about the end of Hyper-V Server (the free SKU of Hyper-V). Again, to confirm, we're talking about the free SKU of Hyper-V. The normal paid SKUs - the well-known role within Windows Server - will be remaining. This announcement came abruptly and was something of a shock to many people. Hyper-V server was the primary test/dev hypervisor for many organizations, not to mention it was great for licensing in VDI scenarios. News of its untimely demise has created some angst in the community. Many IT Pros see this move by Microsoft as a way to takeaway a great free tool and use the situation to start pushing Azure Stack HCI, which many organizations are not ready to adopt at this time. The good news is that Hyper-V Server 2019 is going to continue to be supported until its extended support lifecycle runs out in 2029. This means that many organizations will have plenty of time to migrate to an alternative. What do you think? Is this change going to be impactful for you? Let us know!

In this episode, Ray and Mick discuss the unique capabilities of the platform, and delve into the new features introduced recently. Dell Integrated System for Microsoft Azure Stack HCI is designed to streamline your Azure multi-cloud journey.

We talk Hybrid Cloud Management via Azure Arc with Thomas Maurer from the Azure Advocacy team at Microsoft! This episode features a lot of discussion around Microsoft's hybrid cloud strategy, planning, and management with Azure Arc. Azure Arc brings together management of different clouds into the same UI. You can even setup your on-prem Azure Stack HCI deployments as “Custom Locations” inside of Arc so they appear as sites within the Azure control plane. This management story is becoming critically important. Many IT Pros see Hybrid Cloud as a destination and not a temporary state. The need for these kinds of management tools is only going to grow. With that said, Andy and Thomas spend a good chunk of the episode talking about Hybrid cloud deployments, technologies, and where Azure Arc fits into it all! We hope you enjoy!

Carsten Rachfahl and Andy Syrewicze hosted a webinar focused on Azure Stack HCI and Hybrid Cloud. The webinar covered several aspects regarding Azure Stack HCI, including: What is Azure Stack HCI? Installation Networking and Storage Considerations Example Use-Cases for Azure Stack HCI And more! The other thing the guys discussed was some of the findings from our recent survey on hybrid cloud technologies and adoption. One of the most interesting aspects was the fact that most IT Pros see hybrid cloud as a permanent destination and not necessarily a temporary state. This showed in the amount of questions that were asked during the webinar as well! In fact, we had so many questions that Andy and Carsten wanted to use this podcast to expand on some of the most interesting questions from the webinar!

Welcome to the second of a two-part series on the management and tooling ecosystem for Hyper-V, for on-prem and hybrid cloud. In part one, our host Andy Syrewicze and guest Eric Siron discussed the traditional on-prem Hyper-V management tools at length. This included tools such as Hyper-V Manager, PowerShell, and Failover Cluster Manager amongst others. In part two, the guys peer into the modern era and the future of virtualization management in the Microsoft space. For example, Windows Admin Center is Microsoft's next generation Windows Server management tool, but how does it stack up to managing Hyper-V? Where does Azure Arc fit in? Are they ready for prime-time? All these questions and more are covered in the episode!

Mary-Jo Foley and Jim Gaynor talk about Windows Server 2022, Windows Server Azure Edition, Azure Stack HCI, and the future of Microsoft's server operating systems both on-premises and in the cloud.

When we sat down to record this episode we ended up in a situation like we did with our episode with Ben Armstrong, too much content for one episode! To those familiar with Hyper-V, this likely doesn't come as a surprise being we're discussing the various management tools that are available for Hyper-V, along with the overall management story for Microsoft's hypervisor. In this episode, we sit down with Eric Siron to discuss modern day usage of the traditional Hyper-V management tools which include: Hyper-V Manager Failover Cluster Manager PowerShell System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) In the next episode, we'll focus on the new management tools for Hyper-V such as Windows Admin Center and Azure Arc. In this episode Hyper-V Management vs. VMware Management - 2:05 An example of management assumptions for VMware admins trying Hyper-V - 8:43 Networking woes in Windows Server - 12:12 Why choice of tools is a strength of Hyper-V - 17:12 Thoughts on System Center Virtual Machine Manager - 24:08 An example of where VMM does NOT fit - 28:00 Resources for Hyper-V Management Tools Andy's Hyper-V Datacenter Deployment Script Andy's VMware Datacenter Deployment Script PowerShell Direct Ben Armstrong on Twitter Ben Armstrong as a Guest on the Sysadmin Dojo Podcast talking about Hyper-V Webinar on Azure Stack HCI

Welcome back to another episode of Lisa at the Edge. In this episode I am joined by my teammate Jaromir Kaspar. Jaromir walks us through his career in tech journey, spoiler alert, he knew he wanted to be in tech from the age of 6. Jaromir worked for Microsoft where he travelled the world as a Customer Engineer. He also created MSLab on GitHub. MSLab enables you to deploy and test Windows Server and Azure Stack HCI scenarios quickly and repeatably for testing, learning or deploying.

This podcast with Ben Armstrong from Microsoft is part two of our interview with him. In the first podcast with Ben we discussed all things Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) running on Azure Stack HCI. Those that are familiar with Ben though know that he's often closely associated with the development of Hyper-V, and we figured we'd be doing our listeners a disservice by not asking Ben some questions about what's new in Hyper-V! We talk about some of the new features that Ben feels are most impactful and useful for IT Pros. More importantly, Andy and Ben spend some time talking about the recent Microsoft decision to discontinue future releases of the free Hyper-V Server SKU of Windows Server. For those not aware, Hyper-V Server is/was a free version of Windows Server that contained only the roles and features needed to run virtual machines. It came with no licensing and was often used to run open-source workloads on top of Hyper-V. Ben gives us the behind-the-scenes info that led to the decision to stop releasing future versions of this free SKU. As Ben says, for those people that want to continue using Hyper-V Server, please keep sending in feedback. The feedback is heard. Join the webinar How Azure Stack HCI is forcing changes in your datacenter In this episode What's new in Hyper-V that Ben is really excited – 1:05 Dynamic Processor Compatibility in Hyper-V – 2:43 VM Direct Access to GPUs with Clustering – 6:05 Improvements and ease-of-use improvements to Software Defined Networking – 6:41 Arc Provisioned Virtual Machines – 7:15 Ben's behind the scenes thoughts on the removal of the free Hyper-V Server SKU – 11.04 Resources for Hyper-V and Azure Tech Communities Thread on Discontinuation of the Free Hyper-V Server SKU Windows Server 2019 Life Cycle Information Relevant to Hyper-V Server 2019 Azure Stack HCI Resources Altaro Webinar on Windows Server 2022 that Includes Discussion on Hyper-V Server Alternatives Dynamic Processor Compatibility in Azure Stack HCI Overview of Software Defined Networking in Windows Server What is Azure Arc? Cosmos Darwin - Program Manager Lead at Microsoft

We sit down with Ben Armstrong from Microsoft to talk about Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) on Azure Stack HCI! Being a Group Program Manager for AKS on premises, Ben spends his time making life easier for infrastructure administrators running compute workloads on premises. In previous roles for Ben, this meant VMs, but now his focus is on Containers and Kubernetes! In this episode we cover what AKS is, why it's important for IT Pros, adoption outlook and more! Also worth mentioning is that we changed things up with this episode. The conversation with Ben was so engaging that we've split this episode into a two-part episode, with this one focusing on the AKS discussion. Part two will focus on Hyper-V, including some behind the scenes information on Microsoft's decision to stop development of the free Hyper-V Server SKU. So, keep a look out for part two next week! Enjoy!

We're bringing back one of the age-old discussions. Which hypervisor is the king of them all? Both platforms have matured nicely, core features exist on both sides, and both vendors have clear plays in the cloud! Who reigns supreme? In this episode, our host Andy Syrewicze is joined by Eric Siron, and Xavier Avrillier (both DOJO authors) for a look back at the last year or two of progress in both VMware and Hyper-V. Do config maximums matter anymore? Is licensing still a pain? Is VMware's management story better? These are all questions covered in this edition of The SysAdmin DOJO Podcast!

Welcome back to Lisa at the Edge. After a break I am easing back in slowly to the world of social media and kicking off the podcast again. I'm definitely a little rusty and I think it shows in this episode but hopefully I'll be back to myself after a few more episodes. In this episode I am joined by some of my team mates to discuss the Azure Stack HCI and Azure Arc announcements from Microsoft Ignite November 2021. I was in Paris during Ignite so missed the live content but I have been catching up via the blogs and video content and my team mates were on hand to bring me up to speed.

Take a look at the just announced capability to run Azure Virtual Desktop for Azure Stack HCI on premises, as well as a roundup of what's new in hybrid management across platforms with Azure Arc. Azure Virtual Desktop, formerly known as Windows Virtual Desktop, used to be an all or nothing decision in order to run your VMs from the Azure cloud. Now you can use Azure, Azure Stack HCI, and use Windows 10 multi-session in a hybrid environment where you get the full Windows experience along with cost efficiency. Matt McSpirit, Senior Program Manager for Microsoft Azure, joins Jeremy Chapman to share the latest Azure hybrid updates: A unified management plane in the Azure cloud for your virtual desktops, whether they're running in the cloud or locally on Azure Stack HCI Manage Azure Stack HCI physical hosts and clusters at scale with Azure Arc Deploy a VM from the Azure portal to your on-prem VMware environment Up-to-date inventory of your VMware resource pools, clusters, hosts, and virtual networks all in your VMware environment in the Azure portal ► QUICK LINKS: 00:00 - Introduction 02:05 - See it in action: Admin experience 03:51 - Other benefits to Azure Virtual Desktop 05:14 - Workloads running on Azure Stack HCI 07:11 - Improved management of other resources in data center 08:04 - Deploy a VM from the Azure portal to on-prem VMware environment 09:12 - Wrap up ► Link References: Try out Azure Virtual Desktop for Azure Stack HCI at https://aka.ms/AVDonHCI Stay tuned to the tech community at https://aka.ms/AzureTechCommunity See the latest updates on the Azure update blog at https://aka.ms/AzureUpdatesBlog ► Unfamiliar with Microsoft Mechanics?

Linda Rendleman - Vice President, Microsoft North American Device Partner Solution Sales Welcome to the 78th episode of the Ultimate Guide to Partnering™. For this episode, I was delighted to welcome a friend and former colleague, Linda Rendleman. I met Linda many years ago when we both worked at Microsoft, and her career as a woman in technology has blossomed over the last few years. Linda Rendleman has served as Vice President, North American Device Partner Solution Sales at Microsoft since August 2020. In her role, she leads the strategy, relationships, and business operations of the company's device solutions and partnerships to support building devices that consume our cloud, innovating with device partners, and transforming how we sell devices and services with partners.  Linda focuses on helping channel partners capture more opportunities by rethinking how work is done and leverages aggregated solutions to increase business agility, work productivity, and operational efficiencies.  I was excited to feature Linda to discuss her award-winning career as a woman in technology, her new role, her team's priorities and how the market is thinking differently now about devices.  DEVICES ARE THE GATEWAY TO THE CLOUD With so many of us working from home with the pandemic, using a first-class, modern computing device is no longer a luxury but a necessity. Selecting devices with excellent audio, video, and computing is essential. Linda's team works with OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers) to design and build devices that best utilize the cloud with next-gen delivery models to transform the Modern Workplace. Her Team's Priorities: Champion the value of a modern device, both in commercial consumer and education channels - why a modern device is essential.Attaching client office and server perpetual licensing to those devices for businesses that aren't yet ready for the cloud.Closely align with OCP (One Commercial Partner) counterparts to support our partners in their Microsoft CSP (Cloud Solution Provider) attach motions.Transformational initiatives around selling the Commercial Intelligent Edge, including Azure Stack HCI offers, DaaS, Autopilot, and Microsoft Teams Rooms. TEAM LEADERSHIP AT MICROSOFT & PARTNERSHIPS  As this is the year of the essential worker, and the device is the essential worker. Linda has a unique perspective on the Device Business as she held leadership roles as a Senior VP at a top partner and now as a VP at Microsoft. In this tough year, I wanted to ask her how she is coaching her team and supporting her top partnerships. Her Team? - performing and transforming is hard. Set boundaries to ensure you are working on your plan versus the plan work you. What Keeps Here Up at Night? - The care, concern, and support for her team and her partners during this challenging year.Attributes of Great Partnership? - Listen, have courage, take action when needed, take a step back when needed, really be invested—having a Growth Mindset, Empathy, and Trust.When Partnerships Failed - listen, open to giving and receiving advice, not seeking to understand, to get them on the path to success.   HOW SHE GOT TO THIS SPOT IN HER JOURNEY  Linda and I discuss her career journey and her path to a Vice President at Microsoft. Here are some key takeaways:   Self-improvement - focusing on health, educating herself on food, exercise, and well-being has improved her performance.Her Metamorphosis - after a dark period in her life, she regrouped and propelled her journey. It's okay to take a step sideways or back on your journey."Imposter Syndrome" - how shifting her mindset, being authentic, having an abundance mindset, and focusing on helping others - made all the difference.Her Focus Today - "being present" and "unexpected blessings"- it's hard to be stuck in a bad place when you are fully engaged and feeling grateful. If you are a business leader, partner leader,

This week I have been off work, and although I haven't went away anywhere on vacation I've been taking the time to explore a bit of Scotland and disconnect from social media and work. So it feels very wierd to be checking in on what has been happening with Azure news this week, but here goes.

At Microsoft Inspire in July there were some pretty big announcements regarding Azure Stack HCI. This resulted in a lot of excitement and a lot of questions. To help get some of those questions answered I pulled together some experts from the community and Microsoft to discuss the announcements and answer your questions. From Microsoft I am joined by Darren Small, John Marlin and Thomas Maurer and we also have MVPs Kenny Low and Jan-Tore Pedersen. I will publish a blog in the next week or so with a summary of our conversation and all of the questions and answers. In the mean time I have included some important links below so check them out! @JohnMarlin_MSFT @DarrenMsft @ThomasMaurer @Jantorep @KennyLowe For asking questions or reporting issues, you should go to https://aka.ms/hci-qa. Think of this as the old MSDN forums. When you ask a question, please ensure “azure-stack-hci” is the tag as this is what the Microsoft Product Group is searching on. For suggesting new features or improvements, you can go to https://aka.ms/hci-uservoice. For more information about Azure Stack HCI, you can visit our Azure Stack HCI page (https://azure.com/hci) or read through the various documentation (planning, deploying, etc) that is available at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure-stack/hci/?branch=release-hci. For the support billing options and pricing, you should be able to get it at https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/plans/. The Premier/Unified Support option is not listed as this is not a specific Azure support offering, however, it does cover Azure Stack HCI. For opening up a support ticket, you can either call in or use the open a ticket through Azure.

In this week’s podcast Brian chats with Preetham Mukhatira, Director of Product Management at… The post #57: Preetham Mukhatira, Dell Technologies – Azure Stack HCI appeared first on StorageReview.com.

Shekhar Mishra, Director of Product Marketing for Software Defined Data Center at Lenovo, joins us to discuss trends in software-defined storage. Shekhar supports Intel® Select Solutions because pre-validation gives customers confidence that they are using the right recipe for their business needs - especially for customers adopting new technologies. Combining Intel’s validation with Lenovo’s testing, as well as Microsoft’s certification, reduces risk and creates configurations that are optimized for high-priority workloads. Lenovo’s latest Azure Stack HCI solution is a result of collaboration between all three companies and is designed to simplify deployment by taking the guesswork out of system configuration.

In this episode myself and Kenny Lowe Senior Engineering Technologist at Dell Tech and Azure MVP are lucky to be joined by Jeff Woolsey Principal Program Manager at Microsoft looking after Azure Stack HCI, Windows Server and all things Hybrid cloud. This episode is the result of a threadzilla on Twitter where there was a hot debate on Azure Stach HCI's naming convention. Is it just a marketing ploy? Does it mean something more? Is it a sign of things to come? So of course I address this topic with Jeff. We also discuss Azure Arc, Windows Admin Centre and Azure portal and the use cases for each. We go in to a bit more depth on Azure Stack HCI use cases and we get a cheeky glimpse of what is to come for Azure Stack HCI! I look forward to having Jeff back on Lisa at The Edge when he can talk more about future announcements. You can find Jeff on Twitter at @WSV_GUY
