VMworld 2009 Exhibitors

2009-06-27T00:59:38Z

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!

Why You Shouldn't Miss VMworld 2009

2009-06-24T21:05:04Z

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!

Cloud Networking - We are not in Kansas anymore !

2009-06-13T19:30:27Z

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 ...
