High Availability Clusters in VMware vSphere without Sacrificing Features or Flexibility
This paper explains the challenges of moving important applications from traditional physical servers to virtualized environments, such as VMware vSphere in order to take advantage of key benefits such as configuration flexibility, data and application mobility, and efficient use of IT resources and highlights six key facts you should know about HA protection in VMware vSphere environments that can save you money.

Many large enterprises are moving important applications from traditional physical servers to virtualized environments, such as VMware vSphere in order to take advantage of key benefits such as configuration flexibility, data and application mobility, and efficient use of IT resources.

Realizing these benefits with business critical applications, such as SQL Server or SAP can pose several challenges. Because these applications need high availability and disaster recovery protection, the move to a virtual environment can mean adding cost and complexity and limiting the use of important VMware features. This paper explains these challenges and highlights six key facts you should know about HA protection in VMware vSphere environments that can save you money.

Spotcheck Inspection with Stratusphere UX
This whitepaper defines an inspection technique―and the necessary broad-stroke steps to perform a limited health check of an existing platform or architecture. The paper defines and provides a practical-use example that will help you to execute a SpotCheck inspection using Liquidware’s Stratusphere UX.
The ability to meet user expectations and deliver the appropriate user-experience in a shared host and storage infrastructure can be a complex and challenging task. Further, the variability in deployment (settings and overall supportive infrastructure) on platforms such as VMware View and Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop make these architectures complex and difficult to troubleshoot and optimize. This whitepaper defines an inspection technique―and the necessary broad-stroke steps to perform a limited health check of an existing platform or architecture. The paper defines and provides a practical-use example that will help you to execute a SpotCheck inspection using Liquidware’s Stratusphere UX.
CloudCasa - Kubernetes and Cloud Database Protection as a Service
CloudCasa™ was built to address data protection for Kubernetes and cloud native infrastructure, and to bridge the data management and protection gap between DevOps and IT Operations. CloudCasa is a simple, scalable and cloud-native BaaS solution built using Kubernetes for protecting Kubernetes and cloud databases. CloudCasa removes the complexity of managing traditional backup infrastructure, and it provides the same level of application-consistent data protection and disaster recovery that IT O

CloudCasa supports all major Kubernetes managed cloud services and distributions, provided they are based on Kubernetes 1.13 or above.

Unmasking the Top 5 End-User Computing (EUC) Challenges
The work-from-anywhere world is upon us. To support the distributed workforce, organizations have deployed virtual applications and desktops, but still struggle to make the digital employee experience as good or better than the office experience. ControlUp surveyed over 450 end-user computing administrators and asked them about their most challenging problems in supporting remote work.
Today, millions of people across the globe are now working remotely. Though COVID-19 will soon be but a memory, this “work-from-anywhere” trend is here to stay. To support the distributed workforce, organizations have deployed virtual applications and desktops, but still struggle to make the employee experience as good or better than their experience in the office.

ControlUp surveyed over 450 end-user computing administrators and asked them about their most challenging problems in supporting remote work. From slow logons, application performance issues, network latency, unified communications issues, to slow sessions, this paper explains the top five survey findings and explores the ways ControlUp helps mitigate these problems.

VMware performance and storage monitoring
Scaling up your VMware monitoring is a challenging game. IT teams have to constantly diagnose performance issues, rationalize their VM sprawl, and visualize their dynamic deployments to troubleshoot, manage, and cut costs. Read this whitepaper to understand why IT teams need an observability platform like Site24x7 to monitor their VMware deployments. Learn how Site24x7's detailed graphs and dashboards go beyond the default vSphere metrics provided onboard, to help observe all their VMware deplo
VMware virtualizes servers and consolidates resource allocation and usage. However, to reap the full benefits of this technology, it's important to understand the challenges surrounding VMware to overcome them and fully optimize their use. For this, it is necessary to understand the architecture of VMware resources, their usage, and performance at every step. To build a successful virtual environment, you have to first observe, understand, and evaluate the current trends and performance of your IT infrastructure, and then plan resource allocation for the future based on this analysis. This whitepaper illustrates the need to monitor different CPU, memory, disk, and network metrics and explains how these metrics provide visibility to your virtual environment. It will also discuss how each of them is important to eliminate over-commitment and under-provisioning.
