On the Solutions Exchange floor for vmworld 2012 I got an extensive run through of the Nutanix platform and software. Since last vmworld I don’t know of any other storage vendor that’s received this much buzz. Why? What’s interesting to me is they are a server/storage no SAN platform. That’s right a full integrated solution…
Desktop as a Service. Dropbox. Consumerization…. and so on. @NexusStratos (Tim Pfaff aka “The Angry VCP” & @jerridcunniff) and I presented “EUC Kung Fu” at the vmworld vBrownbag flash talks about VDI moving to a broader definition; End User Computing (EUC). So in other words it’s not just about a hosted virtual desktop. Here’s where…
One of the biggest buzz new vendors at vmworld 2012 was Cloud Physics. I got to meet Irfan Ahmad who gave me the intro and rundown of a cloud based vmware management solution. Very cool stuff so prepare to be blown away!
DynamicOps is a company vmware acquired previously for multi-tenant, multi-hypervisor cloud orchestration. My 1st stop once the keynote completed and the Solutions Exchange floor opened up was to seek these folks out. Their software was both straightforward and powerful. I’ve also got an additional YouTube video from DynamicOps as my video was a bit out of focus from…
On the floor a the solutions exchange I ran into the servicenow folks. These guys just went public (symbol = NOW) and are blazing a new trail in the ITIL world to enable organizations to manage hybrid environments. This is the first year I’ve seen them at vmworld and did they ever make a splash!…
A continuation of my floor review of FusionIO and their new technology. ION is one of those technologies that is an externally sharable solution. The concept is you provide the x86 box, insert multiple FusionIO cards, load ION software code and boom; you have an all PCIe flash, fault tolerant (stripped across cards), sharable via…
From the show floor of vmworld 2012 I got a chance to get a demo and overview from the FusionIO folks. These are the folks that @NexusStratos (the company I’m with) worked with on the Polaris success (earlier in the year we did a “brief-n-ride” at their corp HQ – uber sleds, uber tech). The…
On the floor of the vmworld 2012 Solutions Exchange I ran across my favorite VDI/EUC tool; Lakeside Software. Naturally I wanted to see what was new with them and man did I get a surprise!
As Nexus hosted an Avengers movie premier event I took a bit of time to investigate what the current state of technology is in these movie theatres. Enjoy!
(this is key for spreadsheets, etc) If you’re working within a Virtual Desktop on a MAC with the PCoIP client you’ll notice the “control” key on the keyboard doesn’t work (map) like a windows keyboard. Normally on a MAC keyboard you’d use the “command” key but that doesn’t work inside a MAC PCoIP virtual desktop…
