I would love to more so with the release of  vSphere I think there will be a lot of exciting products and discussions.  I cannot say for sure yet but I am watching the space.

I'll be there.   This will be my second time attending the conference.

Another co-worker will also be coming.  It'll be his 5th time attending a VMworld conference.

I'll be there for the second time (first time in 2007).  Hopefully, I'll get to bring the wife, take a few extra days and do a little sightseeing also.  Last time we had only been using VI3 for about 6 months so I crammed a lot into that week -- and almost reached burnout.  Plus, with some folks limiting their travel, perhaps I'll have better luck getting lab time -- too bad for them but great for me .  The 2007 information was very useful and educational -- we modified our environment a little after I got back -- and I'm excited to see how VI4 can add to our production capabilities.  I think thin provisioning will be huge for us -- we're always fighting the space issues on our SANs. 

We're also exploring thin computing and application virtualization as a way to improve desktop and application management, control costs of desktop life-cycle replacements, and improve our desktop DR capabilities -- so leave me a space in those labs please.

Well my request was finally approved while I was on vacation, so I will be attending. This will be the first time I go, let alone anyone from my company. I will try to attend anything I can of course and make the most of it. Looking forward to it!

Mr Woodland,

Perhaps you have already visited this page, but try starting at http://vmworld.com/community/conferences/2009/hotel-travel/.  Scroll down to the map, zoom in towards the conference center and look up numbers of hotels within the vicinity of Moscone, in the table above.

#12, Pickwick Hotel, $169

#38, Mosser Hotel, $159

#11, Powell Hotel, $139

Also, if you click the number in the map, it will show you the distance to the venue.  Hope this helps.

Regards,

TL
