I was just talking to Mr Alan Renouf and it appears that there are a couple of free slots left at the API/PowerCLI event that VMware has organized in coöperation with Alan on the 8th of October in London.
If you are in London on the 8th October 2010 then you could be in for a treat, VMware are arranging a fantastic event, well worth the visit and best of all its free !
The event is called: Managing vSphere in large environments using APIs and PowerCLI
There are limited spaces available so act now or you will miss out, some of the most fantastic minds of VMware will be gracing London with their presence before heading out to VMworld Copenhagen.
Think of this as a taster of the kind of things you can expect from Technology Exchange, the contents are listed below, I would recommend this to any VMware admins who are managing large implementations of vCenter, there will be some great detail in these sessions.
If you would like to attend please send an email to PowerCLIEvent@virtu-al.net with your name and company, this will strictly be on a first come first serve basis as there are limited numbers.
Exploring VMware APIs
Speaker: Preetham Gopalaswamy
vSphere APIs for Performance Monitoring
Speaker: Balaji Parimi, Ravi Soundararajan
Of course Alan really focussed on the API part of the event, but that is not all there is. If you thought my esxtop page was useful, make sure to attend this event as this is the best part of the day in my opinion:
Advanced performance troubleshooting using esxtop
Level: Advanced
Length: 60 minutes
This talk will teach you how to spot tricky performance issues using the various counters in esxtop.
Speaker: Krishna Raj Raja, Staff Engineer, Performance Team
If you are in the UK and can’t make it to VMworld, this is your chance to catch some of the top experts and get to know the API and esxtop inside out!
Good to hear about this event.
Almost all the events are happening in US / EMEA, why APAC is being ignored?
Will VMware show some soft corner towards APAC?

Sanjai – would be happy to bring our sessions over to APAC (we just have not been invited yet 🙂
DM would love to hear what you are looking for.

Hi Pablo,
Thanks for your speedy reply.
I’m from India and we dont see any VMware related events happening in our country, apart from PEX (where quality was missing).
Even if it take time to bring VMworld sessions, It’d be nice to see such events like the one mentioned in this blog.
This will bring a lot of awareness to our local community.
Sanjai
its pretty true that things like this doesnt happen in APAC (& India) and really sad that there is no VMUG in India.
I checked with VMware about this 6months ago and they say its in the process of getting created.
Virtualization is going to become a hot technology in India and there is a serious requirement of having some quality discussions on it.
Well if you are looking for an invitation then here it goes
“Please bring your expertize to INDIA” 🙂
When is the next VMware event, any updates?
