My first VMworld 2011 – A speaker’s recap – Day 3

This is part 3 of my VMworld 2011 recap posts. Day 3.  I woke up to aching legs, which is to be expected considering I have spent the last two days on my feet for around 14 hours.  I had arrange to meet Chris Colotti (@ccolotti) for breakfast at 6.45 am.  We were presenting our session “CIM1264 – Private vCloud Architecture Technical Deep Dive” at 8am.  We headed off to the employee lounge, some of you may have noticed Chris’ tweet on breakfast for champions.  It consisted of a bowl of Special K, Red Bull and a large cup of coffee (for me being the true Brit that I am, the coffee was replaced with Tea).  We got to our session room for around 7.30am.  The guy organising the Audio was great.  He kindly agreed to play a bit more upbeat music, rather than the standard mellow music that had […]

VMworld Europe – Session time announced

Now VMworld US has finished, it is time to concentrate on VMworld Europe.  Chris Colotti (@ccolotti) and I presented #CIM1264 Private vCloud Architecture Technical Deep Dive three times in Las Vegas, and reviewing the session surveys and Twitter posts it was a great success. For those who want to learn more about VMware vCloud Director architecture and to dive into Allocation Models and Networking, this session will be ideal for you. Currently the session is only scheduled once on Tuesday 18th at 12:00pm. If this session proves to be as popular as it was in the US, then we will attempt to schedule another slot.

My first VMworld 2011 – A speaker’s recap – Day 2

This post is continued from my first article which covered Day 1 and can be found by clicking here So day 2 begins. I woke up feeling extremely exhausted from my first day at VMworld. I had arranged to meet Chris Colotti, Duncan Epping and Frank Denneman for breakfast. Unfortunately twitter was not responding too well so Duncan and Frank never got my message on the location. Twitter #FAIL. They eventually found us though… After breakfast it was time for Steve Herrod (@herrod) key note speech.  Steve Herrod’s key note was awesome.  Covering all the different products, and what VMware had in store for the future.  There were some cool live demo’s of VMware’s new capabilities, and this I thoroughly enjoyed. After the keynote it was time for Chris Colotti (@ccolotti) and I to get ready to present our first session “CIM1264 – Private vCloud Architecture Technical Deep Dive”.  We […]
