Dell Sonicwall Global Management System 8.0 Service Pack 2 Release Dell SonicWALL™ Global Management System (GMS) 8.0 Service Pack 2 Release Notes March 2016 These release notes provide information about the Dell SonicWALL™ Global Management System (GMS) 8.0 Service Pack 2 (SP2) release. Topics: • About Dell SonicWALL GMS 8.0 SP2 • Resolved issues • Known issues • Supported platforms • System requirements • Upgrading to GMS 8.0 SP2 • Technical support resources • Online training materials • About Dell About Dell SonicWALL GMS 8.0 SP2 GMS 8.0 SP2 is a Service Pack release that unifies earlier 8.0 releases and hotfixes. This release contains all the features and resolved issues that were included in earlier 8.0 releases and hotfixes. See Resolved issues. Dell SonicWALL GMS can be used in a variety of roles in a wide range of networks. Network administrators can use Dell SonicWALL GMS in a Management Console role in an Enterprise network containing a single Dell SonicWALL NSA, TZ, or SuperMassive appliance and also in a Remote Management System role for managing multiple unit deployments for Enterprise and Service Provider networks consisting of hundreds and thousands of firewalls, Secure Mobile Access (SMA), and Email Security (ES) appliances. Before upgrading to GMS 8.0 SP2 CAUTION: If you have an UMA EM5000 appliance or a Windows 32-bit GMS Server currently in your deployment, you must migrate them first to a Windows 64-bit GMS server or decommission these systems, before upgrading to 8.0. See the Upgrading to GMS 8.0 SP2 section for more information. NOTE: With the releases of GMS and Analyzer 8.1, the reporting database engine is changed from a MySQL engine to a Postgres engine for data storage.

Renaming a unit to an existing unitname does not result in an error and yet the screen greys 170253 out. Occurs when renaming a unit to a previously named unitname.

Supported platforms The Dell SonicWALL GMS 8.0 SP2 release can be hosted in two deployment scenarios as follows: • Microsoft Windows Server Software • VMware ESX/ESXi Virtual Appliance Deployment Considerations: • Before selecting a platform to use for your GMS deployment, use the Capacity Calculator 2. This helps you set up the correct GMS system for your deployment. CAUTION: Dell SonicWALL recommends that you take steps to minimize abrupt shutdowns of the server hosting GMS, as this can cause corruption of the Reporting database, potentially leading to loss of data for the current month. A possible solution includes using an Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS). Topics: • Supported Windows Server versions for GMS Software • GMS Virtual Appliance supported platforms • Virtual Appliance deployment requirements • Dell SonicWALL appliances supported with GMS Supported Windows Server versions for GMS Software The GMS Software platform is supported for deployment on the Windows Server versions listed in this section. NOTE: A Windows 64-bit operating system with at least 16GB of RAM is highly recommended for better performance. Dell SonicWALL GMS supports the following Microsoft Windows operating systems: • Windows Server 2012 Standard 64-bit • Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard 64-bit (English and Japanese language versions) • Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter Dell SonicWALL GMS 8.0 SP2 4 Release Notes • Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter • Windows Server 2008 SBS R2 64-bit • Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard 64-bit These Windows systems can either run in physical standalone hardware platforms, or as a virtual machine under Windows Server 2008 and 2012 Hyper-V or ESXi. NOTE: When upgrading with Windows, the Settings screen appears as blank or white. Reboot the system to complete the upgrade process. TIP: All listed operating systems are supported in both virtualized and non-virtualized environments. In a Hyper-V virtualized environment, Windows Server is a guest operating system running on Hyper-V. GMS is then installed on the Windows Server virtual machine that is layered over Hyper-V. GMS Virtual Appliance supported platforms The elements of basic VMware structure must be implemented prior to deploying the Dell SonicWALL GMS Virtual Appliance. The GMS Virtual Appliance runs on the following VMware platforms: • ESXi 4.1, 5.0, 5.1 and 5.5 • ESXi 4.0 Update 1 (Build 208167 and newer) • ESX 4.1 • ESX 4.0 Update 1 (Build 208167 and newer) Virtual Appliance deployment requirements Consider the following before deploying the GMS Virtual Appliance: • GMS management is not supported on Apple MacOS. • All modules are 64-bit. • Using the Flow Server Agent role requires a minimum of: • Quad Core • 16GB of memory • 300GB available disk space Use the Capacity Calculator 2 to determine the hardware requirements for your deployment. The performance of GMS Virtual Appliance depends on the underlying hardware. It is highly recommended to dedicate all the resources that are allocated to the Virtual Appliance, especially the hard-disk (datastore). In environments with high volumes of syslogs or AppFlow (IPFIX), you will need to dedicate local datastores to the GMS Virtual Appliance. Read the “Capacity Planning and Performance Tuning” appendix in the Dell SonicWALL GMS Administration Guide. Dell SonicWALL GMS 8.0 SP2 5 Release Notes Unsupported platforms NOTE: GMS 8.0 SP2 does not support legacy SonicWALL appliances, including: • Firewall appliances running firmware earlier than SonicOS 5.0 • CSM Series • CDP Series The following platforms have been dropped from support: • CDP management and reporting • UMA EM5000 as part of the GMS deployment • Windows 32-bit as part of the GMS deployment • Firewalls with firmware older than SonicOS 5.0 • Gen4 or older Firewalls Dell SonicWALL appliances supported with GMS Dell SonicWALL GMS 8.0 SP2 supports the following Dell SonicWALL appliances and firmware versions: Supported appliances and firmware versions Dell SonicWALL platforms Dell SonicWALL firmware version Network security appliance SuperMassive 10000 Series SonicOS 6.0

Those who disrupt industries can change consumer behavior, alter economics, and transform lives. What caused the once-disruptive Dell’s growth rate and stock price to decline in the mid-2000s, and how might Dell thrive again? What are the lessons for other companies? This study analyzes how innovative cultures are created, lost, and reborn in large companies through the lens of a long-term case study, namely my 13 years at Dell. The research fuses Innovation and Foresight frameworks, principally Curry & Hodgson’s Three Horizons framework and Hill’s Willing and Able framework, and shows that Dell lost its innovation edge when a cultural shift and the pressures of Wall Street crushed risk-taking.

  • Dell Acquires EMC, Gains Controlling Stake in Vmware
    INSIGHT Dell Acquires EMC, Gains Controlling Stake in VMware Matthew Eastwood Ashish Nadkarni Crawford Del Prete Laura DuBois Al Gillen Sean Pike David Reinsel Vernon Turner Richard L. Villars IDC OPINION Seldom does a megamerger or acquisition have a ripple effect across the entire ICT market spectrum. But when it does, the impact goes deep — and often leaves indelible marks on the industry. It even inadvertently sets in motion an industrywide consolidation movement, as other suppliers left in the wake of this acquisition scramble to ensure their relevance in the market. Such is the nature of the announcement on October 12, 2015, by Dell Inc. — a leading supplier of enterprise, cloud, and end- user computing solutions — that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire EMC — a leading supplier of enterprise and cloud solutions — for $65 billion. As a part of this acquisition, Dell intends to take all of EMC's business under its fold but leave VMware as a publicly traded company, in which it will still own EMC's existing share. Initially, Dell plans to "move" its enterprise business under David Goulden's leadership inside EMC and maintain the end-user computing business as a separate independent business unit. IDC believes that the results of this acquisition are significant and far- reaching: . By combining two already leading IT organizations into a single entity called Dell, the combined entity will become one of the world's two largest IT suppliers with industry leadership positions in several key enterprise and cloud markets. These markets include end- user computing, virtual desktop infrastructure, enterprise servers, storage systems and software (including data protection and availability), networking, converged and software- defined infrastructure, analytics, and security.
