Virtualization Link Roundup 20090710

July 10, 2009 Leave a Comment

Round Up IIShort list this week (I think many people are still on extended vacations), but one time sensitive item I wanted to let everyone know about…

VMware Specific Links

  • Run it with VMware! Video Contents – get crackin’, deadline is July 20th for your chance to win $5000 cash grand prize!
  • Scalability Study for Deploying VMware View on Cisco UCS and EMC V-Max Systems – from our friends at Cisco
  • Virtual Iron Safe Passage Promotion – Oracle may be discontinuing development of Virtual Iron, but VMware is there to help Virtual Iron customers save their virtualization efforts (for a limited time)
  • VMware vSphere 4: Exchange Server on NFS, iSCSI, and Fibre Channel (pdf) – even if you’re not interested in virtualizing exchange, this is a great comparison of different storage protocol performance in vSphere 4.
  • First vSphere Patches Released by VMware – via Jason Boche
  • vSphere Client on Mac OS X – while this is not a native vSphere client on Mac OS X, it is an alternate way (maybe even faster) of running the vSphere client than having a Windows VM in Fusion (via Punching Clouds…still love that name!)
  • Energy Efficiency: Build a Green IT Infrastructure with Virtualization – A client of mine recently mentioned that they have fallen behind in applying for their state tax credits for virtualizing their data centers.  This made me realize that maybe people don’t even know about this.  Check with your local tax man and this portal for additional information.

General Virtualization Links

  • Magic Quadrant for Web Hosting and Hosted Cloud System Infrastructure Services (On Demand)

Virtualization Link Roundup 20090705

July 5, 2009 Leave a Comment

I hope everyone in the United States had a fun and safe 4th of July weekend!  In honor of this American holiday, wanted to share some photos I took of my local fireworks this weekend (click through to view them all).  Now on to the roundup of links that I’ve collected over the past few weeks based upon customer interactions, online discussions, and stuff that caught my eye:

VMware Specific Links

  • Meet the Engineer – Feature Videos on VMware Communities
  • VMware I/O queues, “micro-bursting”, and multipathing (deep storage discussion from Chad Sakac)
  • VMware Furthers Collaboration with HP through OEM Agreement and Co-Development Plans to Deliver New Solutions for Datacenter and Application Management
  • vShield Zones Overview (from a vExpert)
  • And the winners of the VMware top blog are… (from vSphere-Land reader survey)
  • VMotion between Data Centers—a VMware and Cisco Proof of Concept
  • HP has integrated VMware ThinApp with the HP Client Automation policy-based management platform
  • vSphere Virtual Machine Upgrade Process (from Scott Lowe)
  • Scalable Storage Performance with VMware ESX Server 3.5 (oldie, but still valuable and relevant based upon conversations I’ve had last week…)
  • Using HP RGS with VMware View 3.1 (while not officially supported by VMware, I know a few people who will try this anyway…)
  • ESXi Builder 1.4 and other utility scripts (Configure ESXi from Factory Settings) – Seen an increase interest in ESXi lately (rightfully so since this is the future direction of the ESX installation form factor).  This utility script helps to implement ESXi configuration following power on of a server with an ESXi USB key installed.

General Virtualization Links

  • Incomplete Thought – Cloudanatomy: Infrastructure, Metastructure & Infostructure
  • The Cloud’s Growing SLA Ecosystem (from E-Commerce Times)
