Interesting question, with the scope of work ever changing and tech rapidly racing ahead its time to kick start some new ideas to play with to get a foot in the future trends that are coming.

I heard some great things and it seems like its really a force for automation in terms of vmware as well as other things.Lets see where it heads in the next couple of yea...

This is a little commercial vmware is showing to show its position on the DCCheck the video: http://www.vmware.com/getthefacts/microsoft/entire-data-center.h...

video: : VMware’s “Virtualize Everything” video
Posted on 11:36 PM by Unknown
"How do you virutalize the entire datacenter?"That’s a question that I think a lot of people have, and though the material is out there, vmware is going to need ot push the software defined data center further ( not that they aren't doing that)The video is a mildly entertaining one, almost Neo vs agent smith scene. http://vimeo.com/channels/polygraphtest/67457046 Virtualize Everything from Polygraph Test on Vim...

http://solarwinds-marketing.s3.amazonaws.com/solarwinds/PDFs/1204_sw_vmvspherehyperv_whitepaper.pdf*excuse the grammatical mistakes, this is more of a cluster of notes I wrote for myself. Feel free to use it as a digestible review of the paper but you should check it out as its quite interesting and deserves review. Another paper on hyper-v vs vpshere, this time its written by Scott Lowe.Although that superiority remains largely in place today, the feature gap will ultimately shrink and Hyper-V will become a “good enough "solution for more and...
white paper review: VMware vSphere Vs. Microsoft Hyper-V: A Technical Analysis
Posted on 10:11 AM by Unknown
here is a review of the paper I did while doing some cloud credits.Its worth reading the original as the fundamentals are always strong even if the technology might be a little dated here.VMware vSphere Vs. Microsoft Hyper-V:http://www.cptech.com/emailimages/cloud-formations/vmware_wp.pdfThe article is a little dated, in that it focuses on vsphere4 vs Microsoft Hyper-V R2. Given its 2 years old, it’s a time machine, but its good to know where the groundwork is in the hyper visor battle as these are both still used in Dcs today. Also the technical...

vcloud : thoughts on the vcloud service
Posted on 1:16 AM by Unknown
what vmware is offeringVmware seems to be offering a good service that should be able to leverage it's existing end user customer base. With ec2 and azure already in the market, vmware coming in and deploying their own public solution was expected. what is interesting is their ability to supposedly seamlessly migrate between your own DC and their public dc. What the best offer from their point of view is that anything that works in your vsphere DC should work in the cloud, you dont even need to change your ip or mac with the streched migration...
vcloud : thought on the vcloud and SDDC
Posted on 12:53 AM by Unknown
So I am partaking on vmware's cloud credibility site.Its pretty cool, the vcloud offerings are an interesting take on taking on the other cloud vendors.One thing I noticed that was being pushed was the Software defined datacenter SDDC, and vcloud is a extension of that, intheory creatig a seamless integration between your DC and the cloud DC.Getting a good handle on it but exploring more. Seems like a good way to get into the cloud while leveraging your current vmware infrastructure.check out this blog post by Mathew Lodge'"Delivering on the Promise...
