VMworld Registration Question

2012-05-12T01:57:10Z

I recently submitted a paper to speak at this year's VMworld, but I am a little confused as to how that relates to the registration process. If I end up not being selected, then I won't find that out until after the Early Bird registration is over, however, if I register now and am not selected to present then I won't find that out until after the deadline for 100% refund has passed. So, my question is, is there an exception for someone that has a paper accepted so that they can get a full refund after being notified?

Thank you for any assistance.

Convince your boss...

2012-05-15T14:08:18Z

Last year the VMworld site had a link to a template document that outlined the benefits to send someone to the conference. You could use it to convince your boss/company to pay for the fees. Does anyone know where that document is?

VMworld 2012 Excitement

2012-03-09T15:54:33Z

I know it's only now March, but is anyone else getting excited about VMworld? This will be my 3rd yr. I have met so many amazing folks there - Steve Herrod, Duncan Epping, Frank Denneman, Tom Howarth, Jason Boche just to name a few.

I love SF and hope to do a couple extra things this yr I didn't get a chance to do in '10 - go to Sausalito, as well as do a 'fun run' over Golden Gate. If you have not had the opportunity to take a ferry ride around the Bay to Golden Gate and Alcatraz, I recommend doing so. It's awesome! Also, a 20 or so minute bus ride west all the way to the beach is recommended (well, not 'all' the way...there will be about another 10-12min walk). There is this neat restaurant there along the 'mile-long beach' (I think that's the actual name of the beach). Really cool atmosphere.

So, some of those things, meeting up with old friends, meeting new ones, "tweeting up", networking, sessions, & labs...yep, I'm ready for a great VMworld2012! Hope to see some of you there!

I have a question on Vmware FT technology.

2012-05-13T22:04:50Z

I have a question on Vmware FT technology

1) Does FT VMs required reserved hardware...such as CPU & Memory.

2) Does FT secondary VM required same resource as primary FT VM ( Example: 1CPU and 4 GB RAM )

3) Does second VM utilize the resources of its host in FT state

4) What if primary FT VMs fail and secondary VM's host doest not have enough resources to allocate as primary.

5) Does FT Primary VM simulate network failure and make seconday as primary.

Thanks.

SvSAN / vSphere Storage Appliance Comparison

Unlocking the benefits of VMware high availability, vMotion and DRS is often missed as the traditional shared storage required can be too complex, inflexible and expensive.Storage Virtual Appliances (SVAs) are the most flexible, robust and cost effective alternative shared storage solution for virtualized environments.

Cost Effective Storage for The Branch Office

"StorMagic's SvSAN™was the product that met all of our requirements in terms of functionality, performance, reliability and cost effectiveness" Torsten Kurz, CreditPlus Bank

VMware's vSphere Storage Appliance was announced in 2011 and with that announcement generated plenty of interest into the technology and other similar solutions.

This created many question marks around how they compare and essentially which is the best suited solution for them. With that, StorMagic compiled this FAQ comparison of SvSAN and VMware's vSphere Storage Appliance based on the existing VMware FAQ. Please see the attached Document

Bootcamps before the main event?

2012-05-04T03:12:59Z

Hi,

Does anyone know if bootcamps are likely to be run at all in the days leading up to the main event? Or if this information & the program schedule hasn't been finalised yet, when will it be? These were run at PEX this year and at the moment I'm holding off on booking my flights incase something similar is run at VMworld.

Thanks

Tim
