VMworld 2010 Solutions Exchange – EMC Sneak Peek

August 30th, 2010 Jase No comments

I got a sneak peek today in the VMworld 2010 Solutions Exchange.

Chad Sakac took the time to talk to me about some of what EMC is doing this year.

From everything that I saw, a lot of hard work has gone into the EMC booth(s).  Everyone that has been a part of the task should be proud of their work.

Thanks Chad for the quick look and looks like EMC is going to have a great show!

VMworld 2010 Call for Papers – Need a little help

May 14th, 2010 Jase No comments

Well I have submitted papers for the last 3 VMworlds, and unfortunately have not been selected.  I’ll admit some of those previous submissions were good enough, but missed a the oomph to put them over the top.

I submitted a paper, yes, just a single paper this year, and with some help, I could be selected.  This year, VMware is doing something a little different.  Public voting is being considered in the select process.

The paper I submitted details how to leverage VMware vSphere, NetApp SnapMirror, NetApp SnapManager for Virtual Infrastructure (SMVI), vSphere PowerCLI, and PoshOnTap to spin up a warm DR site.  I chose this topic, because this is how I set a solution up last year when VMware SRM did not support NFS storage.  This session talks about how to quickly recover a SnapMirror replicated site using PowerCLI, with some PoshOnTap included.

So if you feel like voting for my session, head over to VMworld.com at the following URL: http://www.vmworld.com/community/conferences/2010/cfpvote/pcbusiness.

You will be required to login to vote, but joining VMworld.com is free.

Thanks for any and all votes, and best of luck to everyone else who submitted a paper/presentation.
