Layer 2 and the ASAv Arrive in Cisco VIRL!

CCIE Coaching, CCIE R&S, CCIE Security, VIRL, , , ,

The Cisco VIRL team has announced the much anticipated April upgrade yesterday (4/21/2015) that includes a true Layer 2 IOS and the ASAv functionality.

Remember, the Layer 2 IOS will count against the 15 device limit, so if you want other switches in the topology that you are not needing to configure, use the Unmanaged Switch option there.

There is a Quick and Full upgrade option available for those of running VIRL currently. For those of you needing a complete OVA install, the OVA will be made available soon.

Here is the complete information:

More Windows 10 Info Revealed!

Microsoft Windows Client, , , , ,

 

HoloOn Jan 21, 2015, Microsoft held a big event to get people excited about Windows 10. Here are some of the bigger announcements from that event. Enjoy!

  • Someone asked me on Twitter about if they would receive Windows 10 for free since Windows 8 was such a disaster in GUI ways. I said – no chance. Well – I was dead wrong. In a surprise – Microsoft announced that Windows 8 and 8.1 peeps will have one year in which to upgrade for free. There is some fine print exceptions, but it should not effect most retail style consumers.
  • Cortana – the MS version of Siri will be integrated into the desktop.
  • IE will be replaced with a new browser code named Spartan.
  • MS is releasing Windows Holographic with Windows 10. You wear wireless Goggles and see your desktop apps as a hologram. It is pictured above.
  • There is a giant TV-size version of surface now called Surface Hub. Perfect for a conference room.
  • Windows 10 will be ported to phones and tablets.
  • Office will be included for free in various versions of Windows 10.
  • Gaming will get improvements like video capture and Xbox One streaming.
  • Continuum enables a smart detection of what device you are using so the desktop and Metro interfaces will finally intelligently switch.
