Announcing the faster, more cost effective and more secure VMware vSAN 6.6! Learn what's new, the benefits, and incentives.

Reservation and shares are important resource management knobs in a vSphere DRS cluster. They can be set on cluster objects like VMs and resource pools to isolate resources, prioritize, and/or guarantee their availability.


To know when to set them for VMs and when to set them on resource pools, we need to understand. What these settings mean, and how these settings can impact resource availability for a VM

In this paper, VMware explains how these settings are different for a VM and resource pool while giving some general guidelines for using them.

VMware Horizon 7.1 extends the use of Instant Clones to creating RDSH Farms. As a key component of the JMP (Just-in-Time Management Platform) this provides several key benefits, including simplified RDSH image management, faster delivery and maintenance. Learn about the benefits this brings, how it works and see a demo of Instant Clones for RDSH in action.

This short video and demo will cover two new Instant Clone features as part of VMware Horizon 7.1. The ability to select multiple VLANs allows for the creation of bigger pools of desktops than the physical network subnets support. vGPU with NVIDIA M-series cards to Instant Clones extends their benefits to more use cases.

As an introduction to the technical advancements in Horizon 7.1, this video will review the technical and logical architecture of Horizon, as well as the main components.
