Getting to spend this week with one our Account Executives in the DC area engaging with our Customers and discussing their goals, 2023 roadmap and other …

    Share on: twitter facebook linkedin copy

    Posting this more as a note to myself as a reminder and to also read the release notes a bit more carefully! After recently going thru an upgrade of the Firepower Management Center from 7.0.x to 7.2 FMCv, specifically on the Nutanix AHV platform I ran into a bug where the VM would not boot after the upgrade. While the …

    Share on: twitter facebook linkedin copy

    Finally, Zerto has released a Linux based appliance for the Zerto Virtual Manager role. Finally! Now to be clear, I don't mean to use the term finally in a negative sense with Zerto, more of a sense of happiness that it's now available with the latest release of Zerto 9.5. Since there's still some limitations around …

    Well, it's been exactly a year since the last blog post to this site. Oh, and it's also taken me a full year to migrate the blog from a self-hosted Wordpress site hosted by Amazon Lightsail, over to Ghost. No, it didn't take a year to migrate, it just didn't go as smooth as I wanted - I blame myself. So let's catch up, …

    It’s been a while since I last published a blog post. You know, 2020 got in the way big time. Lots of excuses there for not finding the time to write some content… While 2020 was an interesting year for all of us, the train didn’t stop rolling here at eGroup. We continued delivering speed and simplicity with Nutanix to …

    This past weekend, I got to experience with another customer an unexpected intrusion, one of the worst I’ve honestly experienced in my years. Once I was onsite and got to see the level of sophistication on this attack, I realized that we had our work cutout for us.

    Uncertainty. I think we can all relate to this definition right now. We’ve all got our schedule; we wake up, go thru a routine. Maybe you’re a gym person in the morning, or get out and enjoy nature for a few miles. Maybe you really enjoy that first cup of coffee and the newspaper. Maybe it’s breakfast with friends once …

    If you haven’t taken a close look at the hypervisor from Nutanix, AHV, well you might be missing out on something very valuable – that you already have access to as a Nutanix customer.
