By admin on May 17, 2014 in Microsoft

Right time for my whole Microsoft TechEd 2014 Recap. Where to start? There can be only one place to start! VMware Virtual SAN was the winner of best Virtualization at TechEd! Lets say that again, VMware Virtual SAN won best of Microsoft TechEd. Brilliant! TechEd 2014 Recap Right, thats enough boasting and gloating! Although VSAN is an awesome product, its not what I was at TechEd for.

By admin on March 27, 2014 in Cloud Computing

Yesterday I attended the AWS Summit in San Francisco. I wrote part 1 of my AWS Summit Review series yesterday, and this can be read by clicking here. That article focused on the feel of the conference and gave some details on the keynote. What I want to talk around in Part 2 is the technical sessions I attended, and what I felt about those. Lets start with Session 1: Introduction to AWS I selected this session, as I hardly know anything about AWS EC2. I created an account in November and deployed a few things but never used it in anger. An interesting area I thought were that they provide different types of service that are optimised for the workload: Compute-Optimized General Purporse Micro INstances Memory Optimized Storage Optimized GPU Instances They are updating the hardware revisions, and have multiple hardware revisions, for example, compute1 (c1) cluster compute 1 […]
