News just hit me today that I made vExpert for 2012. For those that may not know vmware designates a limited amount of worldwide people that fit one of the below criteria: Evangelist Path The Evangelist Path includes book authors, bloggers, tool builders, public speakers, and other IT professionals who share their knowledge and passion…
As previously blogged I’ve done a bit of research and posts on PCIe storage solutions starting in 6/2011 here as well as here, here, here, and here. “Do I need it?” …plus how do measure for this? I run a presales organization that philosophically approaches our clients and organizations with a consultative, hopefully scientific approach. With the…
I’ve continued to be impressed by the offerings and interest in the Voip/VDI space offered through @Mitel. In a 1st time preview to the gen 3 @nexusmn VDI Showcase I’ve captured a video of the demo of their functionality.
Got a chance to catch up to my favorite VDI software provider; Lakeside Software @lakesidesoft. @nexusmn utilizes them heavily in our VDI assessments and the tool is at the heart of our VDI Kung Fu. Below is a video update from them on the floor of the solutions exchange.
I’ve been a long time partner and advocate of the Akorri, Rob Strechay, and BalancePoint. I’ve blogged previously (here; http://goo.gl/JnZTY) about why it’s fundamentally great and different from most of the VM Management applications (and believe me there are a ton now). I sought out my good friend Rob @smugetconsult for a little run through of the new software…
Last week VMware announced at VMworld 2011 the technology preview of VXLAN. Below is a run through of what this technology means to vmware architecture.
Below is an interview with STEC about the difference between some of these SSD drives we’re seeing in various arrays and PCIe cards like FusionIO.
Few battles have rivaled the war of the VDI protocols. At the heart of this battle is the upcoming wave of business that will eventually arrive with VDI. Having not just an optimized protocol to handle a “high def” user experience but also ways to offload the graphics tasks to a PCIe card is a…
I ran into Rob Peglar, CTO of Isilon on the floor of the Solutions Exchange. Naturally I’m thinking Isilion isn’t really relevant for vmware is it? I asked Rob for his run through of how Isilion works and is relevant with vmware as well as what they were showing at VMworld 2011.
My good friend @bmaltz highly recommended I check out a new @T_REX_VDI Liquidware software component called FlexApp. I ran into their CTO and he describes what this is and it’s relevance in the VDI realm.
