Lab Day at VMworld 2009

1, Sep 2009

Day 0 for VMworld was a bit of a bust for me.  I had two labs scheduled for the day – one which dealt with the upgrade from VI3 to vSphere 4 and the second with troubleshooting VMware View deployments.  Unfortunately, the first lab was plauged by technical issues and the lab was never able [...]

VMworld 2009 coverage notes

31, Aug 2009

I decided not to try and join the legions of bloggers who were attempting to cover the conference in real-time.  This year, my family made the trip out with me and so my evenings are filled with family activities as we try to see and as much as possible while we are in San Francisco.  So [...]

WMworld and the week ahead

27, Aug 2009

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 sessions I wish I’d attended

21, Sep 2008

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 [...]

VMware AppSpeed preview

21, Sep 2008

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 [...]

Virtual Networking in the Future

21, Sep 2008

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.

Deep dive with Enhanced VMotion

20, Sep 2008

One of the biggest sticking points with ESX, in my opinion, has been the VMotion compatibility and processor classes.  This point has produced some rather interesting support documents both from VMware and hardware vendors.  VMware has been working to alleviate this problem and demo’d the solution during VMorld again.  The solution is called “Enhanced VMotion.” [...]

Introduction to VMware FT (Fault Tolerence)

20, Sep 2008

FT is a new feature which VMware introduced to the world during VMworld 2008.  The feature is a continuous availability solution for use with some virtual machines.  The following notes were compiled from session BC2621 at VMworld which introduced the forthcoming FT feature from VMware’s Application vServices.  The feature should be available sometime in 2009. [...]

Returned from VMworld

20, Sep 2008

I’m back now from VMworld in Las Vegas and just wanted to let you know that the lack of posts was a reflection of the poor Internet quality in the conference location.  I don’t think the Ventitian had any idea of what to expect with a geek conference.  The Internet only improved on Thursday after [...]
