As some of you might now I am not only doing a session at VMworld 2010 but I am also a Lab Captain. We have been working really hard over the last couple of months to get the labs up and running for you guys.
Over the last three days it has been chaos here at VMworld. Setting up, testing and stress testing labs and of course some last minute changes to make sure all of you guys have a great experience.
I must say, looking at the lab environment it has been worth it. We are not talking about a couple of labs here. No we are talking 480 seats and about 30 different labs ranging from “VMware ESXi Remote Management Utilities” to “Intro to Zimbra Colloaboration Suite” and even products which will be formally announced tomorrow.
I took a couple of pictures this morning of the labs just to get you guys as excited as we are:
We all hope you will enjoy the Labs at VMworld 2010, but looking at the content and the set-up I am confident you will! Enjoy,
Wow Duncan, the Labs look awesome!!!
Christoph

Giuseppe
Looks awesome. Can’t wait to get some hands on.
WoW, I’m missing it for sure!!
Looks GREAT!
Looks even better then last year.
Hope they have time enough to ship it all to Kopenhagen 😉
look Great !
do you or VMware will publish an architecture guide about how you made it ?
I imagine that the best way to do it is to use flexclone techno from netapp for the provisioning task
These worked really well.
I only had one lab (the place was packed) when things slowed down to the point of annoyance. All in all, it was perfectly usable as a lab environment. The dual screen setup was great.
I was a bit disappointed that the WYSE terminal USB ports did not have enough power to charge my phone. Hey… if that’s all I can complain about, VMware is in good shape.
Nice job VMware.
Good to see SOMEONE had a decent experience at the labs, Wilson. I went 3 times, the first two, half the room was shut down, and the latency killed both mine and my co-workers labs. The third time, I waited in line for an hour to get an initial login error (everyone had, something about hitting F5 is all I know), and then storage wasn’t appropriated to my hosts. I wasted a good 30 minutes on the waiting list just for that… two thumbs DOWN on the labs from me…
