Problems with Overprovisioning VMs

By Vladan SEGET | Last Updated: September 20, 2022

When dealing with overprovisioning VMs, we must first understand the meaning, because while we talk about overprovisioning VMs, we might not talk about the same thing while using the same wording.

VPN Everywhere strategy

By Vladan SEGET | Last Updated: September 9, 2022

You might wonder if you’re using every possible strategy to secure your communications. A VPN encrypts your data so that it can’t be read or accessed by anyone else.

TOP 7 Sessions VMware Explore 2022

By Vladan SEGET | Last Updated: November 15, 2022

VMware EXPLORE is approaching fast. Why 7 sessions only you might ask. Well, considering you have 3 days of VMware EXPLORE, you don’t want to “supercharge” yourself to with sessions, when you know that they’ll be available for watching later.
