We are starting from ground zero and have many opportunities, but need a little jump start to help put this together. if anyone has a plan as a template that could be shared, or have suggestions i would greatly appreciate it. <br /> <p /> Thanks 2009-07-03T19:16:36Z 19 hours, 6 minutes ago http://www.vmworld.com/message/5861?tstart=0#5861 <br /> Roy,<br /> <p /> here is a link to a paper that explains the key differences between VMware vSphere and Citrix XenServer: <a class="jive-link-external" href="http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/vmware_advantage.pdf">http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/vmware_advantage.pdf</a> <br /> <p /> As you'll see, there is a substantial difference between the two and vSphere is far more capable and complete solution. I don't know what your experience is with each product solutions, but once you put the two products to test in real life, you will find a great difference not just in terms of features, but also of ease of use, config, managebility, support, etc. <br /> <p /> Can you provide more details around your impression? I may be able to provide more specific answers.<br /> <p /> Alberto 2009-07-02T23:25:07Z 1 day, 14 hours ago http://www.vmworld.com/message/5860?tstart=0#5860 <br /> Ci saro' anche io visto che lavoro a VMware HQ qui a Palo Alto <img class="jive-emoticon" border="0" src="http://www.vmworld.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif" alt=":-)" /> <br /> <p /> Email: afarronato@vmware.com <br /> <p /> Alberto <br /> <p /> 2009-07-02T20:23:17Z 1 day, 17 hours ago http://www.vmworld.com/message/5859?tstart=0#5859 Ci sono io!

Storage is a critical element of your vSphere platform and enables you to perform many of the server virtualization features that VMware has to offer. Unfortunately, organizations have been denied of these benefits as the required storage component can be budget restraining. Storage Virtual Appliances (SVAs) have taken center stage to counter this problem. SVAs take the internal disk drives of your vSphere server and give you the required shared storage you need for advanced server virtualization.</i> <br /> <br /> <i>StorMagic's SvSAN is a high performance Storage Virtual Appliance that allows VMware users to break new ground. With close to 2000 downloads since February 24^th ^2009, the SvSAN is fast becoming the most trusted leader for SVA technology. And why not? Few SVAs give you the high availability, performance, vCenter integration, and RAID management at a price point that is literally a third of most conventional storage appliances. In fact, the SvSAN can give you a Virtual SAN, High Availability, integration with vCenter, and an advanced Support frame for under $2000.</i> <br /> <p /> <i>Attend this no-cost limited space event and find out what even has VMware talking about SVAs in their vSphere framework.</i> <br /> <br /> <ul> <li><i>Avoid the complexity and cost of an external SAN while benefiting from VMotion and DRS</i></li> <li><i>Enjoy higher performance levels than conventional SVAs</i></li> <li><i>Implement highly available datastores a fraction of the traditional cost</i></li> <li><i>Fully utilize the resources of your vSphere server (i.e. internal or attached disk drives) for shared storage</i></li> <li><i>Maintain constant connection to virtual machines & datastores in the event of a server or storage failure</i></li> <li><i>ESXi support</i></li> <li><i>Perform updates and maintenance to vSphere servers without application downtime</i></li> <li><i>Increase the capacity of your virtual environment without spending additional capital</i></li> <li><i>Visit Case Studies at StorMagic.com to learn how organizations like yours leveraged SvSAN and changed their VMware environments forever...</i></li> </ul> <h4><a class="jive-link-external" href="https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/937393107">Register</a> here now! </h4> 2009-07-02T14:31:59Z 1 day, 23 hours ago http://www.vmworld.com/message/5855?tstart=0#5855 I am coming from Melbourne.<br /> Staying at Hotel Palomar. 2009-07-02T10:41:08Z 2 days, 3 hours ago http://www.vmworld.com/message/5854?tstart=0#5854 <br /> Ciao a tutti, <br /> <p /> <p /> <br /> volevo sapere se ci saranno altri italiani al VMware World 2009.... se si magari possiamo incontrarci...<br /> <p /> Ciao<br /> <p /> Gabriele 2009-07-01T16:37:07Z 2 days, 21 hours ago 2 http://www.vmworld.com/message/5853?tstart=0#5853 <br /> Please check the exiting disk setting on that VM which you are trying to add RAW mapping device, click the existing virtual Hard Disk on right side in MODE optione. Please make sure none of options under MODE should be select.<br /> <p /> You may need to shutdown your VM to do that, once you deslect those then try to map the RAW device.<br /> <p /> Thanks<br /> <p /> VJ <br /> <p /> <p /> <br /> 2009-07-01T14:42:22Z 2 days, 23 hours ago
