VMworld community –

Let us set the record straight on any vendor exhibit issue.

VMware is totally committed to continuing to make VMworld the leading virtualization conference in the world, highlighting the rich, diverse ecosystem that is the virtualization marketplace. Just to be clear, the exhibitor sponsorship contract we are using is standard across the industry. Nothing out of the ordinary or meant to limit the value of VMworld.

As you'd expect, Microsoft and Citrix have already signed up and will of course be participating in the conference this year, as well as hundreds of other companies.

We encourage companies to exhibit and participate that compete with us in one fashion, but complement us in others. It’s all about customers and community!

The VMworld team is hard at work putting together final touches on the show. We are expecting a great turnout and look forward to seeing you in San Francisco on August 31!

For a listing of all attending sponsors and exhibitors, please visit:

If you are still wondering whether or not you should attend VMworld 2009, then hopefully this post will change your mind.

Besides having numerous sessions, speakers, and vendors present, you will have the chance to network and learn from the best in the industry.

But hey, if that's not enough to convince you to register, hear it from VMworld alumni Rodney Haywood. Haywood hasn't missed a VMworld in the last three years, even paying his own way one year...and he lives in Australia.

One of the reasons from Haywood's post is that "with so many sessions and such a large section of vendors there WILL be relevant content to your needs and area of interest. You will come away with concrete things that will make a difference. Every year VMworld has set my agenda for the next 12 months, none more than last year!"

To read more about why you shouldn't miss VMworld 2009,visit Rodney Haywood's blog: http://rodos.haywood.org/2009/06/attend-vmworld-2009.html.

See you at VMworld 2009!

A funny thing happened on our way from virtualization to the cloud world ! The domain of cloud application developers and network started to converge. Converge might not be the right word – because network builders continue to build robust networks and that has not been antiquated; application developers will continue to develop interesting applications. But what has happened is a common layer and a convergence of interests between cloud application builders and network builders is happening.

Few points to note:

  • I said and meant Cloud Application Builders – I do believe that there are many roles in the application domain and the role of an Application Builder is slightly different from Application Developer . I think I need a blog dedicate to this, for now the difference is in the focus – Cloud Application Builders will focus more on the infrastructure of applications – including scalability, availability, …
  • Also, cloud application builders literally have to worry about the essential cloud monikers (see my blog http://doubleclix.wordpress.com/2009/04/13/six-essential-traits-of-a-cloud-infrastructure-or-how-to-define-a-cloud-without-defining-it/
  • And Cloud Application Builders worry about the application archetypes and the optimum infrastructure for them
  • Going back, Cloud Networking is not just about speeds and feeds. It is also about overlays, isolation and abstract policy based provisioning in addition to traditional basic routing and switching.
  • In short the new network landscape of building networks for clouds has an application component
  • This is very evident in vSphere 4.0 – the virtual switch like the Nexus 1K as well as concepts like VNLink, VNTag, and distributed virtual switch.+
  • And add to the mix the interfacing with the traditional network layer and the devices thereof from access to distribution to the core …

In short, this blog is about digging deeper into the vNetwork feature set covering security, availability and most importantly scalability. The discussions will be in the context of popular cloud infrastructure patterns for various cloud application archetypes. A morphing of Cloud Application Builders and Cloud Network Builders

Cheers & I welcome your comments, insights and queries ...

Buenas, luchando un poquito en casa, agarre
un Sempron 2600+ con 2 gbs de RAM y le puse un VMware server para virtualizar un par de maquinas, ya sea para
investigar o para usar de server, por ej: una de las VMs es un 2003 con
Citrix, USDownloader y utorrent q se administran por Web y Ares,
24 hs prendida bajando y en el FW solo abro puertos a esta maquina

1- instalar debian 4, todo por defaul, el entorno grafico y los
paquetes por red no son necesarios, para descargarlo www.debian.com

2- Agragar repositorios
vserver:~# nano /etc/apt/sources.list
tiene q quedar asi
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contribdeb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ etch main contrib non-freedeb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ etch main contrib non-free
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

3- Actualizar paquetesvserver:~# apt-get updatevserver:~# apt-get upgrade

4- Instalar Webmin (puede q el link en un tiempo no funcione cuando actualizen la version, lo buscan en www.webmin.com
vserver:~# wget http://ufpr.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/webadmin/webmin_1.441_all.deb
vserver:~# dpkg -i webmin_1.441_all.deb (va a tirar error de dependencias)
vserver:~# apt-get -f install

5- actualizamos el kernel (si van a usa 1 Gb o mas de RAM) y reiniciamos
vserver:~# apt-get install linux-image-2.6-686-bigmem
vserver:~# reboot

6- instalar dependencias
apt-get install psmisc linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential xinetd

7- Instalar vmware serverpara instalarlo 1ro deben bajar el paquete de http://www.vmware.com/download/server/ y registrarse para que les den el SerialTODO ES GRATIS!!!!!
vserver:~# tar xvfz VMware-server-*.tar.gz
vserver:~# cd vmware-server-distrib
vserver:~/vmware-server-distrib# ./vmware-install.pl
con todos los valores por default sale andando, asi q si no quieren
tocar mucho, siguiente, siguiente, siguiente, siguiente, siguienteen un momento les pregunta un serial, le ponen el q les manda vmware por mail

Listo!!, ya tienen un VMware Server corriendo y listo para llenarlo de maquinitas virtuales
para administrarlo lo hacen por web https://IP_DEL_SERVER:8333
se loguean con el root

*Máquina de Dios, nombre
popular con el que se ha bautizado al más ambicioso proyecto de
investigación, puesto en marcha por el CERN, la Organización Europea
para la Investigación Nuclear, y el laboratorio líder mundial de física
de partículas, arrancó el 10 de Septiembre de 2008 con grandes
expectativas.*

El experimento, que se prolongará durante meses y que pretende
explicar el origen de la materia, utiliza VMware Fusion para compartir
código informático basado en Linux a través de máquinas virtuales de
VMware ejecutadas en hardware de Apple.

http://www.diarioti.com/sisimg/19561b_maquinadedios.gif

Large Hadron Collider (LHC) es el acelerador de partículas más
grande del mundo, que produce radiaciones siete veces mayores que
cualquier máquina anterior y en torno a 30 veces más intensas cuando
alcanza el rendimiento proyectado. Alojado en un túnel de 27
kilómetros, el LHC tiene una temperatura operativa de 1,9 grados por
encima del cero absoluto (-271 ºC). Al estudiar las colisiones a
fuerzas más elevadas de lo que se había hecho antes, los físicos pueden
hacer más progresos a la hora de entender los misterios de cómo se creó
nuestro Universo.
Junto a VMware Fusion, los físicos utilizan hardware Macintosh que ejecuta software basado en Linux, que enlaza con el LHC Computing Grid, una red de más de 150 centros de informática con aproximadamente 40.000 CPUs, que manejan 15 petabytes de nueva información cada año.

La capacidad de VMware Fusion de soportar y permitir a los usuarios de Mac ejecutar todas las aplicaciones de PC que necesitan en su hardware de una manera directa y sin problemas,
ofrece al CERN una excelente solución para los retos que presenta la
carencia de una plataforma hardware estándar, a la vez que es un
elemento clave de la iniciativa de virtualización del CERN.

He creado este blog porque no he podido encontrar información en español sobre vmware y hoy comunidad hispana es una de las que mas ha aprovechado las bondades de las soluciones de vmware, con el mayor crecimiento, sobre todo en los paises en desarrollo.

Las crisis y la velocidad con la cual los ciclos economicos se suceden, hacen que tener una insfraestructura flexible, sea cada vez mas importante y necesaria.

La idea de este Blog es desarrollar una seria discusión sobre cual es el mejor momento para comenzar una estrategia de virtualización.

En charlas pasadas con distintos colegas de empresas y responsables de negocios y sistemas, se planteo la discusión sobre el timing correcto para comenzar..

Algunos plantearon que solo las empresas grandes estaban en condiciones de realizar la inversión necesaria, otros que las empresas pequeñas y medianas son las que mas se ven afectadas o beneficiadas por las crisis economicas y por lo tanto deben estar preparadas para mejorar sus costos y operatoria.

MI opinión personalmente se base en que en Latinoamerica, sucede un hecho muy curioso y a la vez complejo. Cada crisis o quiebre en los ciclos economicos generan no solo incertidumbre, si no una falta total de referencia en los costos de los servicios.

Los procesos inflacionarios, la demanda de servicios desde el exterior y la gran oferta de recursos humanos por la reducción de personal calificado, genera un gap muy profundo entre los costos pre y pos crisis.

En este escenario las empresas deben tener en la cabeza como estrategia principal, a mi entender, un esquema altamente flexible donde el servicio comiencen a ser agnosticos de la tecnología y las herramientas a utilizar.

Allí es donde veo que VMWare comienza a ser un aliado de peso en esta estrategia.


En una nota sobre soluciones de virtualización publicada en decía " Virtualizar es hacer que el usuario vea un espacio donde no queda un hueco libre"


Parafraceando creo que virtualizar es encontrar los espacios de negocios en un mercado donde parece que no los hay.

VmReference card es una de mis favoritas para llevar donde uno quiera. Todo lo que necesitas saber para administrar una plataforma VMWare, lo encontrarás en la vmReference Card, un PDF a modo de tarjeta que podemos imprimir y llevar con nosotros. Ahora con la versión ESX 3.5 U3 :


Por otra parte, una novedad interesante en cuanto a la "moda" de las tarjetas de conocimiento. Esta vez la nueva PowerShell Reference Card que nos permite tener un mayor conocimiento de todo lo que envuelve a PowerShell. Ahora ya no hay excusas para instalarse el vSphere PowerCLI:
