Today’s Datanauts episode peers under the covers of the vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA). Our guest is Emad Younis, Sr. Technical Marketing Engineer at VMware. He blogs regularly about VCSA including feature updates, bug fixes, and more.

We’ll talk about what’s new in the VCSA 6.5 release, examine the pros and cons of VCSA vs. a traditional deployment, and discuss the carrots and the sticks that VMware is using to encourage migration away from Windows-based vCenter servers.
