[fa icon="pencil'] Posted by Dan Booth [fa icon="calendar'] June 28, 2016 [fa icon="tags'] Virtualization, Data Backup & Recovery, How To Guide, CommVault

But by manually populating the software cache, the push of agents in the environment can be done immediately after the upgrade of the CommCell versus waiting hours for the automatic download to finish.

VMware Horizon 7 upgrade planned? Check your crypto!

[fa icon="pencil'] Posted by Lewan Solutions [fa icon="calendar'] May 5, 2016 [fa icon="tags'] Virtualization, VMware, How To Guide, Cloud Computing, IT Solutions, VMware vCenter

Here at Lewan HQ we have a robust internal lab where we demo solutions and hardware for customers and train our team. The lab gives us the opportunity to actually touch and test products before evaluating or installing onsite for clients.

As part of our lab, we have a complete VMware Horizon Enterprise deployment with all the bells and whistles and integrated technologies from our other hardware and software partners. This allows us to do expanded testing beyond what the primary manufacturers can do.

Today that was integration testing for VMware Horizon 7, and I learned a few things I wish I'd known before I started. I hope this post saves you the time I spent troubleshooting cryptographic protocol issues and makes for a more seamless upgrade of your infrastructure!
