Viva VMworld

September 12, 2008 Leave a Comment

Most of the preparations are set for VMworld next week in Las Vegas.  I’ll be down there from Monday through Thursday.  I know that this will be a very exciting show, just based on the announcements that VMware will be making (wish I could tell you more, but not gonna happen till next week…).

I have caught wind of a number of companies that will be making announcements at VMworld next week, including:

  • VMware  (Duh!)
  • Cisco (very exciting announcement, but I can’t say more…)
  • IBM
  • Intel
  • NEC
  • Many, many others both big and not so.

It will be both a fun and hectic week.  All three of my Global Accounts will be attending the show in various sized troupes.  So, between my meetings with them, networking with colleagues, attending the Keynotes, browsing through the Solutions Exchange, and jumping in on a few sessions, I’ll be trying to post as many updates from VMworld as possible.   You’ll be able to find them here under the VMworld 2008 topic as well as via Twitter to the VMWorld Twitter Account and/or the VMworld Hashtag (all depends on how much I have to say… 🙂  ).

If you’re at the show, let me know.  It’s all about networking!

Oh yeah, and I’ll have my camera in tow…make sure to smile.

(Disclosure: I am currently employed at VMware as a Global Accounts Solutions Consultant)

      VMware Studio Released

      September 8, 2008 3 Comments

      On Friday, VMware release the first version of VMware Studio.  As described on the Studio page:

      VMware Studio 1.0 enables software developers and hardware appliance vendors to build customized virtual appliances that can be shipped in industry standard Open Virtualization Format (OVF).

      While VMware Studio is designed for ISVs to author their own virtual appliances, I have a number of enterprise customers who are interested in this as well.  Either for creationo of internal virtual appliances as official versions of a software stack or as building blocks for creating a virtual machine library.  Studio is more suited to the former versus the later, other VMware tools like Lab Manager and Stage Manager have library functionality built into them which are better suited for hosting an enterprise VM library.

      VMware Studio is available as a free download from the above link.
