VM-Aware

Finally, all the VMworld session material can now be found on the VMworld website.

It has been decided that this website will be a permanent feature and not only when the event is active.

This is great news, because it means that the sessions will be available all year round.

John Chambers is a bit of a full on guy and I would liken him to an intelligent car salesman, a very good car salesman, but a car salesman nonetheless.

He did deliver the most exciting and occasionally humorous keynote to date. It was very sales level orientated and not particularly technical so I wasn’t that interested until they showed vFrame in action. (more…)

A major announcement here at VMworld is the decision to break out the VMworld exhibiton to include a dedicated European event.

VMworld 2008 will take place in Cannes, France between February 26th - 28th. (more…)

I’ve just got back from the VMware Partner shindig and I can tell you they seem to know how to put on a show.

5 tables of No-Limi Texas Hold

Belly Dancers

Free Food

Free Drink

Free Flashing Badges

So as you can see, for someone that likes food and drink as much me, this party was always going to be a winner.

The theme seemed to be Egyptian and very nicely decked out it was too.

I spent most of my time at the tables and had some success, clearing a few big pots.

If all the other parties are as good as this, then we could be in for a long week.

Just thought I’d let you know how well organised this place seems to be.

Everywhere is adorned with VMware related paraphernalia and it looks great. All the solution tracks are in there own designated areas and the equipment being used is, as you’d expect, top notch. Everything so far seems to be being delivered using WYSE thin terminals using VDI.

This place is huge and I will be uploading some pictures later on tonight.

Okay, so Vizioncore are obviously doing quite well for themselves if the party was anything to go by.

Semi-naked fire wielding dancers, drinks distribution systems made out of ice and free hats and pencils. Oh yes, you know when a company has truly arrived when they give away free pencils.

On a serious note, Vizioncore bragged about their current state of business and rightly so. 5000 licenses are being sold every month of one of their products through a network of 700 partners. (more…)
