Your VCF education options

Posted on Februar 6, 2026Februar 6, 2026 by Marcel Daube

We all know how important education is. Constant change, especially in IT, has always made regular training essential. With the merge from legacy vSphere to VCF, there is a lot of new stuff to learn. That’s why I want to use this blog post to show you what options are available to support you with VCF and education.

vSphere 8 EOL – Timeline (deutsch)

Posted on Januar 16, 2026Januar 20, 2026 by Marcel Daube

Launched in October 2022, vSphere 8 revolutionized hardware utilization through the Distributed Services Engine for DPUs and the vSAN Express Storage Architecture (ESA). Subsequent updates focused on operational improvements, such as „Configuration Profiles“ and enhanced lifecycle management, culminating in Update 3 with optimizations for AI workloads. Using unsupported software carries significant risks. Security vulnerabilities remain unpatched, making systems more susceptible to attacks and there are no further technical updates or support available. This can result in data loss, system outages and potentially high costs due to cyberattacks or legal implications. Upgrading to VCF 9 is not only an investment in the future but also a safeguard against the risks posed by outdated software.
