VMworld Sessions announced, must see!

· ·

The VMworld Sessions have been announced and as always I wanted to list a couple which I felt are worth calling out. In the past I’ve heard people complaining that sessions were not technical enough or not exciting. I have listed all sessions which I will add to my schedule as soon as I can as I know they will solid technical sessions and they are hosted by great presenters! Note that any sessions containing “futures” are not showing up yet. As soon as they will show up I will update this list.

  1. Hi Duncan,

    I am frequent visitor of your blog.. your HA & DRS deepdive are very useful Topics.

    Can you tell how to view all these VMworld Sessions.

  2. Hey Duncan – heard you won’t be heads down in the lab this year so hopefully I’ll finally meet you.

    Aboubacar Diare, a virtualization architect in our HP storage R&D team, has a session with a VMware technologists to talk about VAAI. The session # and title are VSP2774: Supercharge Your VMware Deployment with VAAI and VAAI-enabled Storage Arrays. Aboubacar is the guy who answered an EVA question you had some time back on your blog.

    Mattias Popp, another architect in our lab has a session BCO2913: DR Troubleshooting and Configuration Tips for Multi-site Storage Replication with Site Recovery Manager.

    These are the two deeply technical guys I go to when I have questions about storage and VMware so I think these should be good sessions.

    Hope to finally meet!

  3. Hi Duncan – are these only the US sessions or are some of these also going to be shown in the VMworld Europe 2011 conference?

    As a VMworld virgin (going first time in October for VMworld Europe!), could you shed some light as to what the abbreviations mean in the beginning of the sessions?
