Here we are again – this time in beautiful Lisbon for the Veeam 100 Summit 2026. After years of Prague (with that special Czech connection for me) and one edition in Berlin, Veeam chose a brand-new location on the Atlantic coast. Michael Cade already tweeted about it being a first for him, and I completely […]
XorMon 2.4.0 released – What’s New and Why You Should Care
Monitoring of heterogeneous environments has always been difficult – or at least it was before tools like XorMon came along. If you manage VMware, Nutanix, IBM Power, storage from several vendors, Oracle databases, LAN/SAN, backups and more, you know the pain of jumping between five different consoles. XorMon from Xorux solves that by putting everything […]
ZSvirt.io – Open-Source KVM Virtualization That Actually Feels Enterprise (and Deploys in Minutes)
Another VMware alternative dropped into the open-source world in August 2026, and this one is worth a serious look. In fact, ZSvirt (zsvirt.io / GitHub: ZSvirt/zsvirt) is the community edition of ZStack’s production-hardened ZSphere engine, released under GPL-3.0 with no limits on hosts, VMs, or features for production use. It manages KVM-based infrastructure through a […]
Tiny11 Builder WinUI 0.1.1 is out – and it finally has a proper modern UI
Hey folks, Vladan here from ESX Virtualization. If you’ve been reading the blog for a while you already know I’m always on the lookout for ways to keep Windows VMs small, in the lab.

StarWind Under DataCore: How the Acquisition Strengthens HCI for Edge, ROBO, and Existing Users
DataCore acquired StarWind Software in May 2025. For many of us who have followed StarWind Virtual SAN, their HCI appliances, Virtual Tape Library (VTL), and related tools over the years, the natural questions were immediate: What happens to the products we rely on? How do they fit into DataCore’s broader portfolio? And does this change […]
NAKIVO Backup & Replication v11.2.2: Full vSphere 9.1 + Proxmox VE 9.1/9.2 Support (and the Practical Bits That Matter)
Hey folks, Vladan here. If you follow my blog for a long time, you already know I keep a close eye on backup tools that stay current with the hypervisors we actually run — VMware, Proxmox, mixed environments, physical boxes, NAS appliances. NAKIVO has been on that list for years because it stays lean, agentless […]
TMOG Task Manager – The Original Creator of Windows Task Manager Is Back With Something Better
Today’s freebie is from a guy who 30 years ago designed the original Windows Task manager. If you’ve ever hit Ctrl+Shift+Esc on a Windows box and stared at the Task Manager wondering what’s eating your CPU or RAM, you’ve used Dave Plummer’s work. The same guy who wrote the original Windows Task Manager back in […]
ScanPST Gave Up Again: Stellar repair for outlook (Desktop) vs. Online PST Repair Put to the Test
Outlook PST files still cause plenty of headaches for admins and end users alike. Large files, sudden corruption after a crash, network sharing issues, or just the usual “Outlook can’t open this file” errors pop up regularly. The principal outlook data file, the PST, is a crucial piece for Outlook to function. Microsoft’s built-in ScanPST.exe […]
Application Backup Repository in Veeam Backup & Replication 13.1 – The Smart NFS Target Many Overlook
In my earlier post covering the general availability of Veeam Backup & Replication 13.1, I focused on the big picture: expanded hypervisor support, refinements to the Veeam Software Appliance, security posture improvements, and upgrade considerations. Today I want to zoom in on one of the more specialized (and still relatively under-discussed) capabilities introduced or matured […]
