vCloud Architecture Toolkit (vCat)
A couple of people have pinged me on twitter this week asking if I knew where the vCloud Architecture Tool kit otherwise known as vCat is located. I thought I would provide the link to help people out. http://www.vmware.com/cloud-computing/cloud-architecture/vcat-toolkit.html

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.
