VMTN Podcast number 70, Storage…

Duncan Epping — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 20:33:47 +0000

As John Troyer is extremely busy and has a huge backlog of Podcast notes to publish and I don’t have a life I thought I would throw all links in a blog post so that you have something to read. The Topic of Podcast Number 70 was Storage and to be more specific Thin Provisioning. If you missed the episode you can download it here or subscribe to the podcast with iTunes here!

VMTN Podcast, join in on the fun

Duncan Epping — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 08:29:36 +0000

As many of you hopefully know there’s a weekly VMTN Community Podcast. VMware’s John Troyer runs the show and usually most of the active VMTN Members join in on the fun. The best shows so far, in my opinion, are the deep technical ones and especially around storage. This evening(for us Europeans at least, wednesday 21:00 GMT +1 !!) Chad Sakac will join to discuss vSphere and iSCSI. For those who don’t know Chad, read this post on VI3.5 and iSCSI and you probably know why you should join in on this podcast. You can dial in, or just listen and have fun in the chatroom. You can ask your questions in the chatroom and one of the panel members will ask them during the call.

Just be there!!!

VMTN Podcast: Join in on the fun!

Duncan Epping — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 09:04:09 +0000

This evening(well at least for us Europeans) there will be another edition of the VMTN Podcast. More and more people are joining the weekly podcast live(Live audio stream and chat) and more people are downloading it every single week, jump on board while you still can! This week John Troyer asked VMware’s Hemant Gaidhan to join us and talk about SQL Server workloads in a virtualized environment and of course best practices.

Hemant will be our guest on the VMware Communities Roundtable podcast tomorrow, Wednesday, April 1, at noon PDT / 3pm EDT. I believe Europe and the US are now back in sync with respect to summer time, but you can always check a time zone calculator.

You can dial in, join the chat, and get streaming audio here. Your homework assignment is read Hemant’s paper and come with questions.

Duncan Epping — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 02:56:16 +0000

Most of you are familiar with the VMTN Podcasts by now which are hosted by VMware’s John Troyer. One of the regulars of the VMTN podcast, Edward Haletky (also known as Texiwill on VMTN and Twitter), formed a panel of experts on Security and will start a new podcast: The Virtualization Security Round Table Podcast. Those who listen to the VMTN Podcast know how passionate Edward is about security and virtualization so expect these weekly roundtables to be at least on the same level as the VMTN podcasts.

Episode 1: First Panel Talkshoe on Thursday 15 January 2009 at 2:30 PM EST / 20:30 (CEST): http://www.talkshoe.com/tc/34217

Expect the following topics to be discussed in the near future:

Use of Virtualization in a DMZ.
Review of security lockdown standards/benchmarks and tools
Virtualization Security in shared and dedicated hosting environments
Providing VaaS (VMware as a Service) securely to SMBs for DR.
How virtualization security relates to cloud computing security

Optimal Network configuration and design for security
How to accommodate small / medium and home businesses
Disaster recovery options – small, medium, large businesses
VLANs as a Security measure with vSwitch Security

If you’ve got ideas / topics for the roundtable hit Edward up on the VMTN forum or via Twitter. And off course it’s also possible to just drop your questions during the podcast on the Talkshoe chat. Mark the date in your agenda, every week on Thursday at 2:30 PM EST / 20:30 (CEST)!
