The vSphere Software Asset Management (vSAM) is a tool that collects and summarizes vSphere product deployment information.
It calls on vSphere APIs for deployment data and produces a PDF report that the customer can consult as a part of their infrastructure review and planning process.
This lightweight Java application runs on Windows, Linux or Mac OS.
Writing code to use VMware vSphere tags can be challenging in large-scale environments. In this technical paper, VMware discusses the scalability limits of tags, and we give some tips and tricks for writing performant tagging code in either Java or PowerShell.
While the performance results in this paper are specific to the hardware configuration and vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA) configuration in our lab, the basic trends will be the same as in customer environments.
NSX-T is uniquely designed to address these requirements. An enabler of new use cases, NSX-T brings architectural enhancements, security, and operational benefits to this API-driven, modern apps world.
In this book, VMware will discuss the top use cases for migrating to NSX-T:
VMware will share the network designs considerations, migration best practices, and step-by-step processes used by VMware and partners to help with the migration journey to NSX-T. Although VMware cannot share some of the customer names, they are sharing the actual process details from real world migrations.
VMware has released the Advanced Design VMware vSphere 7.x (3V0-21.21) exam. This exam tests a candidate's ability to apply design principles to develop a vSphere 7.x conceptual design given a set of customer requirements, determine the functional and non-functional requirements needed to create a logical design, and architect a physical design using these elements.
The exam leads to the VMware Certified Advanced Professional – Data Center Virtualization Design 2021 certification.
It is a 60-item exam with a passing score of 300 using a scaled method. Candidates are given an exam time of 150 minutes, which includes adequate time to complete the exam for nonnative English speakers.
The exam blueprint is available here.
https://www.vmware.com/education-services/certification/vcap-dcv-deploy-7x-exam.html VMware has also released the Advanced Deploy VMware vSphere 7.x (3V0-22.21) exam. This exam tests your skills and abilities in implementation of a vSphere 7.x solution, including deployment, administration, optimization and troubleshooting.
It also leads to VMware Certified Advanced Professional – Data Center Virtualization 2021 Deploy certification.
The exam is a 17-item lab-based, with a passing score of 300 using a scaled scoring method. Candidates are given 205 minutes to complete the exam, which includes adequate time to complete the exam for non-native English speakers.

This paper compares the performance of the legacy Fibre Channel Protocol (SCSI FCP) to FC-NVMe on vSphere 7.0 U1.
The benchmark results show that FC-NVMe consistently outperforms SCSI FCP in virtualized environments, providing higher throughput and lower latency.
These results provide a compelling case for customers to upgrade their existing environments to vSphere 7.0 and gain the benefits of NVMe-oF.
