Hybrid Sandboxing – Create the Ultimate Test Dev Environment

By admin on October 29, 2014 in VMworld

Last week I published some of the VMworld vCloud Air sessions that were released on YouTube. You can watch all the VMworld vCloud Air sessions by clicking here. However, I have just found out that my favourite session from VMworld has just been released on YouTube. This session is all about how to create the easiest, simplest and best Test Dev Environment. Jay Marshall and Roshni Pary presented this session, and its fantastic. Its full of cool demo’s and real world examples on how you can build a really great Test/Dev environment. The abstract for this session instantly gets me interested in this session: The ability to do test/dev and sandboxing projects on throwaway cloud resources is well known. But the ability to add cloud to your existing software development lifecycle and application architectures that you currently deploy on premise is a game changer. This is the reality of the […]

These have been made available back in September, but I wanted to share with everyone the two VMware VMworld vCloud Air sessions that have been posted on the internet.

Object Storage What is it?

By admin on October 9, 2014 in vCloud Air

During VMworld their was a lot of talk around the announcement of VMware vCloud Air Object Storage. This is a major milestone for VMware’s Cloud Services offering, and provides a lot of capabilities customers have been asking for. You can read the Tech Preview Blog Article here. However, since VMworld a lot of people have been asking me “Object Storage What is it? and why would I use it?”. Not everyone has heard of Object Storage, let alone started consuming it, so I thought now would be a good opportunity to share with people what I have been using Object Storage for. I have been using Object Storage offerings for over 4 years now. Ever since I discovered that my Iomega (now Lenovo) PX-4 could automatically backup to Amazon S3, I have been using it for a backup service. As always, when you want to know a description about something, […]
