Kev Johnson dives deep into the VMware Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) checks feature of Runecast Analyzer, showing how you can remove some of the biggest causes of risk and go beyond that to having actual vSphere security rather than just business-as-usual (BAU) mode. Extending this capability to upgrade planning via simulation, he’ll show how you can identify hardware that will need replacing, and also assets that you can sweat for another year or two through BIOS, firmware, and driver updates.
