Virtualization Frontier

2 Posts tagged with the exchange tag

I have attended a couple of sessions on deploying Exchange 2007 on VMware Virtual Infrastructure and the big difference between these sessions and last year's Exchange sessions is the assumption that it's legit to do it. Last year running Exchange in a VM seemed to still be in doubt, but this year the discussion has shifted to more details about how to do it.

 

One key factor is the support that Microsoft now provides through the SVVP program that VMware joined and then used to certify ESX 3.5 update 2. I think that the other factor is that people are more comfortable with it and many more have actually tried it.

 

It's been fun to follow the acceptance of Exchange as a VM and I think that many other apps are following the same path (SQL, Oracle, SAP, etc....)

It seems A while back I volunteered to do some presentations the Dell booth and offered a few topics. Yesterday I got an email with the schedule for the sessionsin the Dell booth and it looks like I'm scheduled for Tues and Wed at 2:15! The topics are thing that I talk about all the time - but I need to pull together the slides for the presentations. The first one is about virtualization resources on the web (like www.delltechcenter.com ) and the second is about Exchange and SQL on VMware (which I did some work on earlier this year).

 

Looks like I will be working on the plane on the flight to vegas!
