Gabbs’ Random Thoughts: Finding a Way To Fill The Web void During VMware Explore Migration
As the world of technology continues to evolve, so too does the landscape of virtualization and cloud computing. With the recent announcement that VMware Explore will be undergoing a migration from SAP to Oracle, many are wondering how this will affect their online activities and license management. In this blog post, we’ll explore the details of the migration, as well as some other interesting topics in the world of virtualization and cloud computing.
VMware Explore Migration
First and foremost, it’s important to note that while nothing will be going offline during the migration, managing licenses and activities through many of the online portals will be unavailable during this time. This is to simplify the transition from SAP to Oracle, and ensure a smooth experience for all users. The migration is set to take place from April 30 to May 6, so mark your calendars and plan accordingly.
For more information on the migration, you can check out the CRN post here, as well as the VMware blog post here. Additionally, the Omnissa website will go live on May 6th, which includes the EUC and Workspace ONE software. You can find more information about this in TheRegister’s post here.

If you’re looking to install Windows 11 without a Microsoft account, Tom’s Hardware has a helpful how-to guide that you can find here. It’s really a shame that this isn’t just an option during the installation process, but at least there is a solution for those who want it.
Nutanix Multicloud Snapshot
Nutanix recently announced their new Multicloud Snapshot feature, which allows you to take a snapshot in your on-prem datacenter and have it replicate out to AWS S3 or Azure Blob. This opens up a wide range of different use cases, from disaster recovery to development and testing. You can find more information about this in the Nutanix blog post here.
