vSoup Commando Monday #42

Once again we go commando, that is without a guest. We get into the Wardrobe malfunctions and public speaking and the FeedForward VMUG initiative. Monster VMs, and 1 to 1 virtualization, is it really an option, and why?

A little storage discussion regarding RDMs, NPIV and Christian shares a story about 3Par / StoreServ reclamation and SCSI UNMAP issues.

Obligatory VCDX talk is of course obligatory.

vSoup Virtology with Joe #24

Joe Onisick

We´ve been graced with the presence of Mr. Joe Onisick, Cloud and Datacenter Guru and all around nice guy (If you agree with him, that is).

So, topics? We had a few:

  • Dell Quest Acquisition
  • VMware DynamicOPs Acquisition
  • Multi-Hypervisor Data Centers
  • Amsterdam TechEd – How does it compare to VMWorld
  • Conference arranged parties – are they worth it?
  • VMWorld discounted certifications
  • VMWorld Flash Talks!!!
  • Virtualizing Exchange
  • One to One virtualization – big benefits?
  • SMB 3.0 and it quickly turns to a File vs. Block discussion

Also, wow, no delay this time! We´re on fire.

Oh wait, it´s holiday season, so who knows when we will be back next.

vSoup Split-Brain Hypervisors? #11

Scott Merrill

Would you run other hypervisors than VMware ESX/ESXi? If so, why, and even better, why would you want to run more than one? This weeks guests is Scott Merrill who’s employer recently decided to move from VMware based virtualization to Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization as well as Microsoft Hyper-V.

That’s right, this episode of vSoup mainly focuses on non-VMware virtualization. And they all called us a one trick pony, guess that’s not the case after all!
