VMworld Barcelona is just around the corner. Unlike VMworld US where I was on vacation spending most of my time in the hang space, I will be at Barcelona in an official VMware capacity. I will be carrying out some booth duty, so if anyone wants to meet me, please come over to the VMware vCloud Booth. I will be presenting a session alongside Aidan Dalgleish, Frank Denneman and Rawlinson Rivera INF-VSP1168 – Architecting a Cloud Infrastructure Tuesday 12:30 – 13:30 This session will discuss the various design considerations when architecting the foundation for every solid cloud environment: vSphere 5.0. We will start with sizing and scaling and end with some operational guidance. Different examples will be used to show the impact design considerations can have on the availability of your services. Look forward to seeing everyone there.

With the Euro 2012 Championship starting on Friday 8th June (tomorrow), I thought this would be a fitting tribute.
