I just watched the vForum keynote by Richard Garsthagen. If you haven’t seen it be sure to check it out cause Richard put a great presentation together which outlines the current and future products of VMware. I’m not gonna repost his video. Just click on the link below.
Hi Everyone,
Sorry I haven’t posted for a while, but have been really busy with all the virtualization events that are going on, from VMworld to the European VForum show we are doing at this current moment. So at least I wanted to share with you a bit of these shows. We recorded the keynote session last week in sweden, so if you would like to listen to me explaining what VMware is about and what our future developments are, enjoy the video…

Everyone in the Benelux area should mark this date on their calender: Friday 12th of December 2008! On this date the Dutch VMUG 2008 Event has been planned. The agenda also has been announced last week, so no reason not to attend with sessions on Powershell, VIMSH and vendor related sessions (Netapp, Vizioncore etc.).
For more info on how to sign up click here. And if your dutch and not actively participating on the VMUG forum, please join the party!

Marathon seems to be afraid of VMware’s Fault Tolerance:
Marathon’s team at VMworld got to sit in on the VMworld session Tuesday morning that covered VMware’s newly announced technology for fault tolerant VMs. While not bad for FT rookies, from what we saw, it’s a less than perfect solution for a lot companies that want to run business critical and mission critical applications in VMs. (source)
Mike D. responded to this blog on his blog… Read it and find out if Marathon is telling the truth or if these guys were sleeping when VMware announced this new product…. but I guess you can predict the outcome.
