Its only been a matter of weeks that I’ve gotten my VCP3. I did it in anticpation that I’d need it to update my skills and certification for vSphere 4 and today, I found confirmation that I did the right thing. I found a page on VMware’s site that details the upgrade path for existing [...]
August is quickly drawing to a close and the last day of the month kicks off the first day of VMworld in San Francisco. The past week has been really busy as I prepare for my trip and try and bring my co-workers up-to-date with what is going on and things that might come up [...]
VMworld opened session registration for attendees earlier this week. For anyone who hasn’t attended, you use the VMworld website to register for sessions ahead of time and specifically register for the instructor led labs offered during the conference. There are lots of great sessions and many of the ones I’m interested in are scheduled at [...]
Its a little over a month prior to VMworld 2009 in San Francisco. I recieved my approvals from work and I’ll be attending again this year and I’m anticipating a great conference with lots of great material to bring back. I am patiently waiting for my notification that we can begin registering for sessions and [...]
Since I’ve blogged about my great problems with the Parallel’s Desktop 4.0 upgrade, I couldn’t not post this in case you’ve found yourself in the same boat. VMware Fusion is being offered at 50% off for Cyber Monday. (Just use the coupon code “CyberMondayDeal” on checkout). In addition, if you are a Parallels Desktop or [...]
I had a fairly major revelation during VMworld. Its not something that I had stopped to think about and I guess the week of sessions and discussions helped me assemble several random thoughts together. First, I’ve always relegated virutalization to a status where it is certainly a valuable technology and integral part of HTC’s [...]
One topic that I have not been able to blog about from VMworld was the VMware View announcements. I didn’t get a lot of detail, but the introduction during the keynotes did peak my interest quite a bit. My company is currently evaluating its options for doing virtualized desktops. We feel like there are some [...]
First rule I learned at VMworld. It’s so easy to miss a lot of good sessions. Not all of my planned sessions were as stellar as some… Most were fantastic – and those are the one’s I’ve blogged about. Here is the list (with links to other folk’s blogs for the good notes) that I [...]
One of the most compelling introductions I found during VMworld 2008 was the VMware AppSpeed product/plugin. AppSpeed is the market delivery of the Beehive aquisition that VMware made last year. During the Wednesday morning keynote by Dr. Stephen Herrod, CTO, all attendees were treated to a live demonstration of the AppSpeed product along with the [...]
So, one particularly interesting session I attended was TA2275, which basically involved the speaker, a crystal ball and the future of Virtual Networking in ESX. The content was set into two parts – what we can expect in the immediate future and then some speculation about where things are probably going for the future.
